BEAVERTON TIMES MC53W PUBLISHED AT BEAVERTON, OREGON, EVERY THURSDAY 5. H. DAVIS & SON, PUBLISHERS Entered in the Postoffice, at Beaverton,. Oregon, as second class matter. SOFT HEADED FOSSILISM. We had a niee boost prepared for our Washington Gounty con tingent in the legislature but are compelled to modify the same after listening to the report of our local committee, which made a trip, to Salem in the interests of the tunnet proposition.. Their reception was not the kind to look forward ' to with much pleasure had they known before hand just whatdt would-be. The people of this locality have been looking forward to the . building of a tunnel ! through thohillato Portland for, years and. now that the project has been advanced to a point 1 near its construction we were all hoping for favorable action by, thelegislaturei When Mr. Frank Stroud, and C. E. Hedge the committee un dertook to enlist the support of our Washington v County rep resentatives they were ; turned down, rather hard- Mr. ; Stroud was accused by1 Senator Woods of; working a realestate dealt We are not sure but. suppose Mr. Hedge was likewise accused.., Of eourse those whom the committee represented are equally guilty. In fact, any public improvement is likewise actuated ry merce-i nary motives. Well these may be Senator Woods' ideas but they are not ours,, neither are they the. ideas of1 any public- spirited citizen or the ideas of any pro gressive community.". Those are fosssils brought unwittingly to the surface in an unguarded moment, and lead us to belie e that there may be other "fossil ized" ideas poured forth when this community desires assist ance along other progressive lines. Another week has gone by and vour relations with Germany have not changed materially. This ' state of affairs may continue for some time or it may end at any. moment in astate of war. How ever, that the danger of a real war with Germany, is very re m'ote,. is evidenced by the un disturbed business condition of the country throughout.- It seems to be the concensus of opinion that war- with Germany, while that country, i& deadlocked with the allies- would be confined to the sea, but at the same time it is probable that the United States will organize a formidable army and equip it to meet any eventuality- A new cigarette law has passed the legislature making it a crime for a minor to smoke a cigarette or for a person to give or- sell thern the "coffin nails." Just how effective the law will be in keeping; out the habit is difficult to forecast. The trouble with such a law is with its en forcement. While we may know of the harmful and degenerating effects of the cigarette habit still adults, would, hesitate before re porting a caso of infringement because of the baleful effects of sending a boy of otherwise good character to jail. In our mind the only way to stamp out the habit is bv utter "taboo" of the cigarette in the state. To enact such a law. however, is making a start in the right direction1 and will no doubt ulti mately lead to absolute prohibi tion within the state. , Senator Wood's bill to abolish the office of county recorder will most likely become a law. The measure does away with the re cordership and places the work in the hands of the county clerk, who appoints the deputy or dep uties, who must be paid by the county court, which fixes the salaries of the help. The new law will not affect the term to which Recorder Jas. H. Davis is elected, and takes effect at noon on date of January 1, 1919; ,.: . Consolidation is going on in many counties of the state, and it is estimated that from $50 to $75 per month will be affected in savings. This legislation has been attempted1 before, but has always failed of getting through the committees. Argus. - . It is amusing to watch the an ,tics indulged in by. the Hillsboro Independent whenever the quea tion of east end roads comes to its notice. For this, however, we must forgive1 and forget and remember that as long as the road leads into the county seat nothing will he said This is- Hillsboro diplomacy and Inde pendent sagacity.
