CAPITALIZE THE QUARTER SHARE , Sooner or later, If Deschutes county Is to continue to cooperato -with, .tho state highway commission In the construction of stnto hlgh- ways, It must Issue more bonds to provide cooperative funds. Crook county, aa wo havo pointed out bo lero, has porio the limit, and to that fact Is largely duo Its success In obtaining state aid on Its roads. Deschutes Btlll has a bonding ca pacity ot over 1400,000 and It Must Bhortly consider whether It cares to add to Its present bond debt of $125,000. Only by doing HtTVlll It bo able to obtain state road money. Ono ot the first thoughts any tax payer will have when a new bond Issue Is proposed will be concern ing its effects on his taxes. In theso days, when all things cost so much, sad taxes, with everything else, are so high, he wHl1hes'I'tate"to add to tols burdens, oven for good roads. .If, on the other hand, dig could bo shown a plan that meant" road bond ' money and no taxes, ho ought to bo ready to vote for It unhesitat ingly. We have such a plan. It Is simp ly to follow the same course the state Is following In capltallrlng automobile license fees. "Under existing law the county re ceives one-quarter ot all auiomo bllo license fees and Tprocceds ot the gasoline tax. Tb'e other three quarters are usd by the, state to pay Interest and principal of .road hond Issues. Why should not Des chutes county proceed on the same course the Btatc Is taking and Is Hue bonds, to be paid for out ot Its quarter share ot this fund? On present Information it seems clear that tho county could lssuo $100,006' In bonds, which would bo cared for by this fund. The ex act 'amount would depend on tho number of automobile registrations, 'rate of Interest to be paid and 'oth er factors which may be deter mined.' If 'and when this Is donp. and our bonds Voted, we shall bo In po sition to cooperate without having any new expense added to our tax budget. The only loss. It it may bo called a loss, will he to our general road fund, which will no longer receive this quarter share for general road work. Such work, however,- sbpuld bo cared for from our genera) fund as raised in the county. DOES BEND CARE? ' Persons who are In position to know say that moral conditions In Bend are not good. We are told that young boys and girls havo Bono completely out fom parental control and that tbefg conduct Is such as to lead them to physical and moral rulOyiln the recent Red Cross lecture course it was brought' oat that there bad been 1G0 arrests for Juvenile delinquency in tho past year. Three girls, from 15 to 18 years old, one In a con dition that will not bear descrip tion and the others on tho down ward patb'were ft'cently sent to Portland for necessary care and at tention.. fTbero are stUl others who, with their male companions, are an equal menace to society. What does Bend care? ' r iWhat will Bend do about It? 'What interest will .Bend show In the young girl, left motherless a fear or so ago, forced to stay away from,. school to do work at home, with no parental care, no under standing, and no opportunity for Recreation or pleasure other than that which sho finds in tho com panionship of the street and the dance. Rend will give its thousands for n rattle show and fair. Its women will Join in club work, its men in community promotion. But all this Isf above tho surface. And la it that' wo ' ltyo only on tho surface? There Is a' life underneath Unit,, ,overy now and again, breaks through. Are we for bringing it up liito the light and keeping It there? Aje wh uoinR to,savo'our youth, or, simply let things drlf,t and, when It Ja;,too late to save, try tg jestorp tpfr thorn wlytt.thoy havlos?

' Wlfl hoybe. fclwn? COLLECT THE-LIENS ( One' of tho 'most Interesting fea tures of tho report on tho recent ly completed city audit Is tho state ment ot tho amount of lions still duo tho city for cleanup work, sower and sidewalk construction, street sprinkling and other "PccliU assessment!. Some of these Ittins run us far back us. 191C. Indeed ft there aro two Items still duo from tho sower construction of 1918? Tho total amount remaining unpaid is $3783.04. while the, t8iim ot $414.15 for cleanup work In 191S has been charged off. This means that for periods up to throe years tho general tax payers of tho city havo been carry lug tho amounts duo on theso vari ous assessments for tho benefit ot tho few specially assessed. Fur thermore, since that means n re duction of the city's general fund In tho amount of JS7S3.04, there has been a loss to the city at n consid erable Item of Interest paynblo on the warrants thnt have been left unpaid because of thU deficit In tho general fund. For the most part the persons who owe on these assessments nre perfectly able to pay. One thing tho city can do at once toward re lieving its straightened financial condtlon is to collect these liens. The audit report Is a comprehen sive statement of the city's finances. The mayor and council are to bo congratulated on having taken this forward step toward better busi ness administration and a better understanding ot tho financial sit uation. Fred Locklcy. as a candidate for secretary of state, ought to show up well in the running. He Is known all over the state; he did war work at home ami In France: he Is no politician's candidate he Is Just a plain, simple, common sort of human, with n soul overflowing with friendship and sympathy for his fellow humans. "We arise to Inquire," says the Portland Telegram, "If the two should meet now, what would tho governor of North Carolina' say to itfe 'covornor of South Carolina?' " Just exactly what they said the? first time, wo should suppose, namely: "It's 'a of a long time between drinks." Publicity matter In support of tho Johnson candidacy for presi dent has been flooding the malls recently. Since most of It Is de voted to knocking Herbert Hoover, It would seem that Hiram Was afraid .of his fellow California!!. A new system In the Klamath Falls telegraph office will double its efficiency, says an exchange. Wonder If the systom could not bo Installed In a telephone office, too? What's the use ot buying over alls when you are wearing nothing but old clothes, anyway? Fifteen Years Ago (From the columns of The Bulletin of April 21, 1905.) A petition is today being signed by taxpayers of this 'school dis trict asking that qn election he called to vote on the question of bonding for a new schoolhousc. The limit asked for is $3500 - . ..The jiew Bend-Laldlaw telephone line was opened for business last Saturday. There was free service the first" day and plenty of people availed themselves of the privilege of talking to the other town. The Bulletin Is In recejpj of a letter from a man In position to Judge pretty accurately of develop ment projects in Centra! Oregon in Which the belief Is stated that tho Croat Southern wlll build on out from Dufur. The big auto car for tho Bend lino arrived In town aj 5:30 o'clock last Sunday ufternoon. Bend neglected tho precaution of copyrighting her ordinances, and now Lnknvlew is adontlntr them. In appointing J. 11. Hanor t$ ,no his chief deputy, Sheriff Smith has Insured honest nrtd officiant Refylee In that 'important position. Charles Bpyd ot Montana has ar rived ln-town and expects to locato hero. Ho Is u butchor by occupa tion. .'Lv D; WIest Is having a small tract! of 'land put Into grain, and Is. also putting out a largo' apple orchard. , ayafrfciW, -,. ntrjp HOT.tKTiN, k,np, oniyuTiii)sn,Y,,ai'h)v.;i.',,ijig()..,.

No useful Wheels are turning, Tnechurch bolls do not ring; no smithy fires are burning, no workmen's hammers swing; but gloom is all-prevailing, and wrath and bitter wailing; men are so busy railing they do not smile and sing. I ought to view with sorrow the troubles of the Hun, and say I hope tomorrow will see his anguish done; and yet I see him sweating without a great regret ting; he earned what .he is getting, earned trouble by the ton. Had he but shown repentance for any crimes of his, had he received his sentence with a remorseful phiz, I might compose a ditty of con dolence and pity, more generous than twitty, but as things are Gee whiz! The Hun has been so sassy, so nervy and so smart, he thinks himself so classy, and greater-than-thou-art, that it is hard to view him with sympathy, beshrew him! so let his woes pursue him until his change of heart.

You are not responsible for the deeds of your neighbor, either js your neighbor account able for your own debts. This is as it should be. It's putting the blame where it belongs. There is no doubt a great deal of profiteer ing is going on these days, and tho jaif is too good for any man who deliberately takes ad vantage of the helpless public in this way. This store, for one, resents literally the accu-, sation, frequently made, that the retail mer chant is a profiteer, on the grounds that he is totally at the mercy. of the jobber and manu facturer. We have absolutely no control over the pro duction cost, which has.been, and w.ill continue to be, passed on to the ultimate consumer. Every care is exercised in buying merchan dise, on which we must make a fair and legiti mate .profit.
