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.

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.
