V Rain, moderate southerly winds. 4 A PAVED HIGHWAY Grants Pass Is not alone In need ing a modern road to the coast but. It is, or at least It ought to be, one of the Interested (actors. Thi gen eral government needs the circuio and other materials found along such a road and if approached In the right manner would 'aid In Its con struction. The state has Interests In this matter and would lend a band. Josephine county cannot build it, but, If she, can get enough help it can be built. - It would lead to a practical development of the Oregon eaves and an Inflow of valuable tour ist travel, with all the money It leaves In Its wake. This is not a small matter, but, an enterprise of magnitude and will require considerable time to get even fally launched. It involves a vast outlay of money and consequently Is worthy of very careful consideration. That does not necessarily mean that all the time there Is should be spent in thinking about it. Action is ne cessary and time is valuable. . If come sort of action is not taken very soon it will be too late to achieve results this year. If complete success Is desired, It will be necessary to put the most important points up to the general government. We do not know what we have. Let us ask the govern ment to find out It is willing to do so,' but, it is up to us to start some. thing. A survey is necessary and It must te done under the direction of government officials. The mountains of this region are full of minerals that this government must have in its business of war, ad regardless of mud and slush it te getting them to commercial cen ters at enormous cost. It will be deeply interested in the construction of a paved road, but, bear this fact in mind: . It takes a long time to get federal machinery in operation, and when it does get started It takes a much longer time to get results. There Is no time to lose. Action is what counts. BALLOT SABOTAGE Tbe Portland News Is advising socialists and independents to regis ter as republicans in order that they may control the republican nominees In 'the primaries, ' Such advice is plain subornation of perjury and the Portland city attorae or the attor ney general should take cognizance of It as such. Any man who registers as belong ing to any party to which he does not belong, and whose ticket he does not enpect to vote, is a deliberate per-J Merced I Cauliflower Sweet I Celery Potatoes I Lettuce MHaMHaHaVHaViBHIW r" Kinney & Traax .,k,s,V row,.,:,, grocery QVA1JTY MUST.

He steals their inalienable right to nominate the men whom they wish to represent them on their party ballot In the fall election. He wilfully aad maliciously steal the franchise of a Urge body of cltl iens. He literally deprives them of their right to vote, their very cltlien ship. In thus stealing other men's votes, this pimp of the ballot, steals the possibility of men to hold offlce, de priving the country of their services and them of the salaries that go with It, thus bringing the crime down to a plain taking of money. Under a convention system, a socialist or Independent or any other freak of nature who had tbe temerity to Inject himself into the proceedings of a democratic or a re publican convention, would be sum marily thrown Into the street where he belonged. It would be Impossible for him to prostitute himself or rob bis neighbors. In the primary there is no "committee on credentials."1 The scurvy knave who knows not honor covers his Infamy in the smug security of his secret ballot where it cannot tie seen, relying on this like his better compatriot, the burglar, upon the blackness of the night to conceal his crime. The man who would thus debauch tbe purity of the ballot on which the security of the nation depends, has the Instincts of a depraved criminal. I His moral delinquency would know no limits were he sure of not being found out. It Is a crime which the law should seek to prevent by throw ing around the right to register and to vote greater restrictions and Is a crime one of the punishments for which should be disfranchisement. Those advising the pursuit of so venal, corrupt and Inexcusable a course, whether newspaper or Indi vidual, should be punished with the same severity meted out to other criminals who seek to subvert Jus tice by suborning perjury. In no other way ran an honest election be assured Corvallls Gazette-Times. Daily sales of thrift stamps and war savings stamps in Oregon are already totaling about $12,000, a circumstance most gratifying to tbe state director and his campaign com mittee, inasmuch, as the campaign Is Just beginning to gather the mo mentum that will carry Oregon "over the top; again with Its apportion ment of $17,000,000 of the two bil lion dollars, to be raised by tbe war savings In the United States by Jan uary 1, 1919. State organization was given its finishing touches this week at con ferences In Portland attended by tbe congressional chairman. Including Louis J. Simpson of North Bend, for the first district; Leon Cohen of Pendleton for District No. 2; and F. B. MacNaughton, Portland, for Dis trict No. 3. J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools, and chair man of the committee on education, Is working through his big organi zation, including county superinten dents and teachers, to carry the thrift Idea into the schools of the state, and other chairmen represent ing the social, industrial, religions, fraternal and commercial Interests are getting things in running order.

We are home again after belug in attendance at Parmer's week and the county agent's conference at Corvallls. The one thing that stood out above all others at these meetings was the necessity and Importance of organ! lation. In every conference, no matter of what nature, the fact was fcroutcht out that In order to win the war It was Imperative the United States do It. and that for the moat part It was to be done by production and con servation of foodstuffs. It was also brought out tlrat this can be done only by organisation and cooperation. The enrollment for Farmers' week was 1,437. Farmers, their wives. sons and daughters from every quar ter of the states were In attendance. In his final message to the farm ers. President Kerr, urged them to go home and tell their neighbors that the agricultural college stood In readiness to help them In every wsy possible. C. D. THOMPSON. County Agriculturist.
