Figures available from seventeen of tho smaller towns of Oregon show n combined bonded Indebtedness of ?ft, 705,437. This Indebtedness In volves an annual Interest charge of IM'i.aVJ, irrespective of s'nk'ng lurid. Tho towns under consideration have a total combined population of 05,r.."0, based upon the estli'inieu or i we doubt not that Its organization will be supported heartily. HUGHES ON THE IIAU.OT. The, Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that the mime of Chnrlcs E. Hughes must be placed upon tho pri mary bnllot. The decision Is an in tensely Interesting one. It enunciates the right of the people to plnco the nnino of any innii on tho ballot for whom they vvIbIi to express their choice for nomination, Irrespective of tho desires of the Individual him self. In other words, Hughes can't keep off tho Oregon ballot. Ho did his obst to prevent the use of his name. Respecting his request tho secretnrv of state refused to use hlu name, and then Hughes' admirers brought limn flee To belittle the present Governor of that Btate that It is very doubtful If (his last of tho notorious tribe of Of. West now In public ofllce, will be able to much longer succeed In his deception. He will be one of tho al leged Republicans, seoking offlco at the hands of Republicans this year, that Is Buro to receive the hearty support of those Democratic papers parading ns "Independent" for mer cenary purposes. Olcott was doomed to defeat this veor though opposed by n man of less high character than Chairman Charles H. Moores, known for years for his loyalty to the party, his high standing among his fellowmcn and unquestioned lltness to fill the high olllcc to which ho aspires. tho 1 'I 1 T.

And the combined municipal debt born b , ll, court sustained their prnyer, each Individual Is $S7 !i."i. On an uverngo each person In these towns In inibllcnlly indebted to that amount. With u bonded Indebtedness of fSO.COO Including the school district bonds anil a population of :J200. llend hnH an average per capita debt of only $28.00. This, contrasted with tho nvurngo or $S7.n", of the other municipalities listed, Is encouraging and satisfactory. Elsewhere In this paper The Hnl letlu prints a list of the towns, with their debts. Only the smaller com munities have been solectcd. iib n comparison of their condition with Rend's seemed more appropriate thuu it large cities were considered. Hut for that matter tho average of tho larger cltleH Is about the same ns thoBU used here. The figures are lrom tho Oregon Voter. Wo go Into this mutter because iloubtlesH before long llend will have to face it further bond Isbuo for mu nicipal Improvement purposes, us well as for the Strahorn terminal I Kites. Thus far we owe over $i'.0,00 In sewer bonds nnd $H!,fiO0 for cliool buildings. Probably the sower will have to be extended, and with out doubt nuw schools must be erect i d shortly. It Is folly to cricnurngo municipal expenditure Juht becnuso thu city happens to be "well off." Hut Inas much as such expenditure Is unavoid able and really desirable, It Is grat ifying to discover how well our rec ord compaVes with that or other Ore gon cities similarly i.ltinitod. If we should double our bond issue llend Hill would hnve n per capltn debt more than it third smaller than tho verage. Further. It must be remain tiered that llend's population Is In rrenhlug inpldl.v, and without doubt will continue to grow steadily for montlm to come, so that the ratio in our favor Is constantly Improving. All In nil, we lmvo no cnuso to bo grludge tho approaching necessity for further bond lESiies. It Is n nor nml, necessary and buslnesrt like method or city building, and provid ed It be not overdone, and that full vhIuo Ih received for expenditure of tho borrowed money, there Is no muyp for protest. In this direction, ns In many others Uend Is notably sound mid promising. Let us not be niggardly In building vip a bigger mid n better city, but while wo do It let lis remember that So Hitch voters of Oregon ns desire may express their preference for Hughes. For our part, wo believe that ho will' carry the stote over whelmingly. It Is a good thing too. that this legitimate voicing of pop ular opinion enn be registered. It will permit real expression of tho will of tho people, at least so far ns this stnto Is concerned, In relation to tho forthcoming convention. Presumably other states may fol low tho example set by Oregon. Hughes supporters elsewhere may now force the placing of his name up on tho ballot, Irrespective of his de sires. If so, It means a blggor nnd more popularly backed HugheB sentl. n'vnt at Chicago thnn could other wise lio possible for a goodly body of the voting public will hnve spoken officially. Just as they hnve been speaking Individually for months imt. , ' With Hughes sentiment, crystnllzed upon the ballots even in a fow stntcs, anil hint despite his efforts to keep his nnnio opt of It, and with Hughes popularity undeniably widespread, the likelihood of tho Judge's nomliiai t'on seems to Increase. Should Hughes bo nominated, it Ih almost liiconcelvnbln that n mnn would tenaciously refuse to becnino n can didate for president of the United States, when it Is universally admit ted that threo words of ncceptnnco would settle tho matter beyond per- adventure. And tho silent Judgo al ready has done that. ' PRAISE FOR SMITH. (Crescent Nows.) "Wesley O. Smith of Klamath Falls Is a candidate for Joint representative on the republican ticket for the 21st district, comprising Crook, Jefferson. Grant, Lake and Klamath counties. Mr. Smith represented this district in tho last legislature when many measures affecting Eastern Oregon wore up nnd wo can truthfully soy that ho was alwuvs nlort to the best Interests of his district. The Abert and Summer lake lecstng, Irrigation and drainage question and nil other matters of Interest were handled b hlni In n most satisfactory manner He is n good team mate for V. A Forbes nnd it would bo n serious ca tnstrophy to Central Oregon if thev are not botlf nominated' nnd elected so, that they mayroturn the. legislat ure and complete tfia work commenc ed two yours ago."

You keep It clean al wajs. 4, Straw votes being taken here nnd there about the state indicate a com bined vote for Hughes and Roosevelt considerably larger than the WIImjii vote. And Hughes appears almost i two to one favorite over Roosevelt. .m - - -- - . ll Savs the Portlnnd Telegram: "The Rend Bulletin boasts that even with Jeffeison cut off, Crook cointy Is larger than the states of Rhode Is land and New Jersey combined." That isn't a botiBt. It is n sigh. We now begin to see why Sam Hill picked tho shortest auto route he could find across Oregon, Hut didn't ho slrp when he failed to make Horn brook the first California town to be reached? Says the Oregoninn: "No, tho wise men nre not nil dead. Heiid has a population of 3200 and nobody has started a dally paper there." The Crook County Journal says, "Tho only safe method Is to watch Prlnoville," That is a gcod deal of a concession. BUILDER TALKS (Continued from Page 1.) j In tho Oregon Voter last week C C.
