One Year....... ...........-...... t1» OCTOBER 25. 1935 TIME TO SQUEAK The proposal that ia expected to emenate from the legislature that the bill be revived which would make it mandat ^ry that the roads that were on the 1917 highway map be completed before any other roads are built will receive support in Sherman county for such a bill, if pass ed, would insure the completion of the south end of the Sherman highway. The federal road men are favorable to the project, but state they seldom suggest improvemen is to the state. It really depends on the local sentiment and the noise that is made about the road by those who use it. It is easy for the highway commission to cay that a road is not used when improvements are asked. The argument does not apply to the Sherman highway for it would be used if it were finished. There is every reason to believe that much of the through north and south traffic would take an east of the mountains road if it were as good as one in the western part of the state. Our roads are usually faster, straighter and are certainly drier and safer. If the old saw is true that the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease, it appears to be time that some loud and continued squawking be done whenever the high way commission meets. HODGE-PODGE Being the reactions of a newly hatched legislator The rules of procedure hamper the individual, but if followed, aid the legislative body to achieve something which is hoped to be satisfactory to most but not exactly what anyone wanted—Harry Corbett handles meetings with more grace and ease ihan most folks eat, he’s as un flustered before the assembly as when tying his tie—La tourette will be a competent speaker in the house. There is lots of delay, waiting for committee reports, waiting for information and until some bills come in there will be general slowness in the whole business. The reso lutions committee offered a resolution to hold down the number of bills, and it was laid on the table until printed. The next resolution was from the same group, and would have injected the Townsend plan into the discussion. Members of the senate and house who come from rural districts may be found every morning taking the air on the streets or waiting in the lobbies until the excitement be gins. They get up too early for this sort of business, and no matter how late they stay up the sun gets them out. A glance over the personnel of the house encounters a comparatively few members who are taxpayers of any magnitude. Some are men of large properties, but the ma jority are not. For this particular session this indicates that taxpayers should increase their normal interest sev eral fold as this special session of the legislature is for the express purpose of spending some millions of dollars. The governor mentioned two plans of financing, direct property tax and liquor tax. Either of these would make it easy on salaried men, unless they happened to be extra ordinary consumers of liquor. There will be an attempt to broaden the base of taxation for the capital, as every citizen should pay a share of the construction cost. Receiving the governor and his retinue of supreme court judges and other state officials gives the legislators a workout. They stand up, sit down, arise and be seated to the rap of the gavel when the governor approaches, when he marches to the rostrum, etc. It stretches the legs and gives a workout to our sense of respect for officialdom. Someone has written that great men descend to petty things and petty men rise to great things, occasionally. He might have written it when seated in a legislative assem bly. STATE AFFAIRS (Continued from page one) A total of 3.671 students have taken advantage of the free read ing courses offered by the state library since the inception of this service in 'December, 1932, ac cording to Miss Harriett Long, state librarian. Courses prepared for these students number 4234 and covered 525 subjects.

Service Calling For Young Men The home that has a Telephone THE RIVER The county budget committee Saturday included an item in the yearly budget that ia new to taxpayers in this county. We refer to the one giving $500 to the Inland Waterways Association. For a number of years agitation for development of the Columbia has been carried on by small isolated groups of men who worked as hard as they could for the object de sired, but did not achieve much in the way of results. A few months ago these groups were united into one unit | with a program planned several years ahead, and a pro gram that includes all sections in its scope. This course we consider necessary if the people who live along the river are to realize the development in navi-1 gation they desire. This very winter contractors will be blasting out the rocks that impede transportation on the river from Celilo to Umatilla. That is the work of the In land Waterways Association. No one who has wheat or other products to ship can minimize the benefits this will bring to the wheat growers1 in this county. With our normal crop of two to two and a ' half million bushels a saving of three or four cents per bushel in freight rates means decided savings.
