July 5 fa the la»t day for filing pe titions for measures which will go before the voters at the Nov. 6 elec tion. Of the 17 initiative proposals for which ballot titles have been pre pared, eight provide for the repeal or modification of the Knox liquor law, three propose measures to limit taxa tion on homes, and one would restrict interest rates on personal loans to not more than 12 per cent per annum. The latter does not, of course, apply to banks whose interest charge is set by law at 8 per cent, but to loan • agencies who some time demand and receive up to 50 per cent interest- Of the $47,937.49, state millage tax for state fairs, the Coos A Curry County Fair will receivs on June 1, $1,137.95, according to word from Secretary of State Stadelman. The total for th« state fa $51389.72 less than it wm laat year. The decrease is due to lower valuations of taxable property. The amount received by each county is based on the valuation of the property In the county, the levy being one-twentieth of a mill. There are ten counties in the state which receive larger support from the mill- •ge—Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Lans, Linn, Marlon, Mult nomah, 'Umatilla and Washington. As has been intimated in the daily press, there is too much communism mixed up in this strike business. Add to that the fact that the leaders re sponsible for the strike are more than likely getting theirs, or will for a set tlement, and you have a condition which would justify the government in taking a hand. Just when business showed signs of returning to nor malcy to have it paralyzed by as un called-for a strike as ie now going on, is treasonable. The right of the working men to combine for their own benefit is not involved. No one condemns them; it is the higher-ups, the white-collared gentry who pull the strike and profit in their own pocket who should be given the limit by constituted authori ties. TABLOIDS By W. 8. Sickels The editorial appearing in the Ore gonian last Sunday, referring to Rufus C. Holman’s defeat for the re publican nomination for governor, was the moat sissling aizzler I ever saw on the editorial page of a met ropolitan paper. Ona would suspect that the Oregonian didn’t like Rufus any too well. Ateo U may bo sus pected that the editorial in question had careful reading by that newspa per’s legal department before it was printed. It isn’t often that an indi vidual can roil a big paper to such an extent, but occasionally great newspapers dhow traits that are hu man. The usual practice, and it is generally guided by public policy, fa to make quietus of undesirable candi dates by the process of totally ignor ing them. And it is a method that generally gains the deaired and. In referring to this power of the press I am reminded of an incident that occurred in a mid-western city several years ago. The management of a leading theatre in that city in curred the displeasure of a great and dominating newspaper. ft put that theatre out of business completely hy refusing to print Ito advertising and refusing to make mention of the par ticular play-house in any way. Un der this ban it struggled along for about a year and then closed. Later the building was rased. ft is re grettable to a tat* that no service to the public was involved, as the theatre was respectable, and it* bookings in cluded many of the best travelling companies of that period. Reference is made to the dsatructian of the WiHfa-Wood theatre in Kansas City, Mo. Frantic managers of theatric*! companies, coming upon the condition unaware», vainly offered mbney to obtain the required pubkiity, but their efforts were unavailing. Th* news paper wm owned by one man. Be has sines prosed on. So also has that typo of personal journalism. Standing on the sidetracks of the Southern Pacific railway in Coquille ire several huge tank-cars, each of several thousand gallons capacity, containing the material with which the oil-type roads are surfaced. Along tide of the tank-cars may be oeen lateral pieces of formidable-looking equipment in charge of a crew of the Oregon State Highway department. They are busy removing the material *rom the tank-cars and preparing it tor use. The crew Will be here for several weeks. Just now there is an extensive repair job going on just above Bridge, on the Myrtle Point highway, and other job» of repairing and patching lie in other directions also. The asaterial is called asphalt, but it ie really the residue from the oil refinieries down in California. Most of the oil produced on the Pacific coast hao an asphaltum base, and the black, sticky stuff shipped up here in the tank-cars is what is left after the gasoline and other petroleum prod uets have been obtained. To remove the rophalt from th? 'ank-cars it must be heated, there fore the transportation tanks are of special construction. In them is a series of coHs through which steam is sent under high * pressure. The asphalt is then pumped from the tank 'nto retorts where it is heated to a temperature of about 475 degrees. By thia time it is quite liquid and is pumped into motor truck tanks of the Highway Department and taken to the place where the construction work is in progress. The material is put on the road at a temperature of about 300 degrees. Therefore care la taken to see that the transporting distance is not so great that it will permit the material to lose too much heat while In transit. The weather is a factor that must be taken into consideration, of course, but with the speed of the usual motor truck the average dis tance ranges from thirty to forty mites. So, you see, it isn’t oil that fa poured upon the troubled roads to tie together the crushed rock and gravel and lay the dust.
