JUNE 23 1922 principal payment of tax is for road building, and the aveage taxpayer harbors the belief that county and state highways are costing too much, anyway. PIERCE'S PROSPECTS BRIGHT If the election were held tomor row, Walter Pierce would very probably be the next governor of Oregon. He has assurances of strong republican support from all sections of the state, and there is every reason to believe that he would defeat Olcott in a dual con test. The forces aligned against Olcott in the primaries will not be for him now, when he is the repub lican nominee. Whatever may be one's views as to the merits of the unusual issue which has divided Oregon into two hostile camps, there can be no question that it has developed a feeling stronger than party loyalty now-a-days weak at best. Nor has Olcott helped his cause by his uncompromising atti tude in such cases as, for instance, that of Dr. Ellsworth, who has cer tainly poured some hot Bhot into the governor's midriff. With the possible exception of George E. Chamberlain, Pierce is the best campaigner in Oregon, and may be relied upon to tafce full advantage of Olcott's tactical errors. In a very close and intimate sense he is one of the people, having shared and sympathized with them in their problems and complaints in the course of an active life of industry. Somehow the notion prevails prob ably without foundation that Ol cott is a bit "high-brow." At all events, Pierce is likely to beat him unless the situation changes between now and election day. But any change, such as the entrance of Hall in the race, is rather more apt to react in Olcott's favor than that of Pierce, since the Olcott forces, while numerically smaller than his opposition, will stand firm j and indivisible. A pet cat made such a stir in Spokane by going on a 'jag" that the officers trailed it to its owner's moonshine still. Must have been feline pretty good. Government in the United States costs seven cents an hour for every inhabitant. With thoughts of Rus sia in mind, we'll say that it's worth it. Henry would have kept better step with these tight times if he had made his new slogan read: "Buy a Ford and Save the Differ ence." We've no right to suppose the Portland Beavers are stronger for book lore than baseball. It may not be the best cellar they're head ing for. It occurs to us that there are pleasanter ways of committing suicide than to serve as a strike breaker in the Illinois coal fields. There are occasional hints that the United States would still be able to purchase forgiveness from Germany with a substantial loan. It still costs 54.9 percent more to live than before the war. And it isn't worth that much more, by a long shot. Seems to be the U. S. shipping board's policy to stimulate ocean travel by stimulating the ocean traveler. Why hold any primaries, any how? Leave it to Mark Sullivan. When 128 voters turn out to attend a school meeting, interest in school affairs is in a healthy condition, as compared to meetings held in the past when a bare number of voters to nominate and elect director and clerk were present. That the Athe na school ranks at the head of the county's educational institutions is appreciated by the patrons of the school is evidenced by the splendid vote given Charles Kirk, director, and E. A. Zerba, clerk, for re-election. Call For Warrants. Notice is herehv given that City of Athena warrants numbered 'J98, 1000 and 1002 will be paid upon pns entation to the City Treasurer. In terest on the above numbered war rants ceases from date of this puoll cation. Dated at Athens), Oregon, thi.: 9th day of June, 1922. E. A. Zerba City Treasurer This from the Ohio State Journal, a republican paper, sounds like a left-handed compliment: "The re publican party, as we have always said, is the party of conservation, and here we find ourselves on the eve of another campaign with almost enough unused campaign promises left over from last time to Bee us through." The almost universal distrust of our highest governing body is prob ably due to the fact that the people used to believe what the republicans said about a democratic congress, and are now believing what the democrats say about a republican congress. Having blamed the civil war on Abraham Lincoln, the United Confederate Veterans may just as well take another foolish step and join with Ludendorff in blaming the world war on the United States. In all his 88 years Chauncey M. Depew never played golf, never rode horseback, never went hunt ing, and never saw a baseball game. A blameless life if he had never made an after-dinner speech. How pleasant it is that the once irllv Eurouean enemies who charged eacn otner during uie wm we now united in the common cause of charging the American tourist!
