The Taft Inaugural Ball will be
held In the Tension building; but
the inaugural bawl of the opposition
will probably be held in the N. Y.
World offloe.
The future historian mast be care
ful in handling the public docu
ments of 1908; he might easily im
agine things of this period worse
than they are.
As one who is deeply interested in the welfare of Sher
man county, and its residents, I desire to make a sugges
tion that I believe will be to the interest of all. I he
thought is, ‘Better Roads, and How to Accomplish lhem?
Let our County Court re-district the entire oounty, from
one end to the other; into districts that would be about
one-fourth as large as they are at the present time. By so
creating these smaller districts there would be no difficulty
in appointing a Supervisor who would work the roads in
his district at a time when the work would be effective. All
residents in the smaller districts would he more interested,
for they would know that the work would be put on the
roads in their immediate vicinity, and they would he more
willing to go out and work, and would make greater effort
to interest their hired men to pay their poll tax.
At the present time nine-tenths of the transient men
escape the poll tax, and thereby thecouhty loses this work.
The farmer’s telephone will soon he in most of the homes,
and the road Supervisor could arrange his work through
this medium; thus eliminating the old method of going
from one farm to another. This one matter alone means
the saving of many dollars that can be put on the roads.
A small road district should be the means of creating
more harmony in the district, and if they would all work
faithfully at a favorable time, it would be but a few years
until we could point with pride to “good roads” through
out Sherman county.
c - A- B uceley .
There is considerable in the words of Col. Buckley to
commend. Sherman county possesses the means and the
ability to provide every needed adjunct to securiaffof good
roads, when properly awakened without chasing after the
phantoms created by traveling speculators whose principal
desire, it seems to us, is to reach into the pockets of thrifty
stay-at-home taxpayers. The bacilli of Good Roads, con
tagious in Oregou recently, appears to be fully prepared
with a complete equipment to honeyed phrases to hypno
tize the Solons of Oregon during the 40 days in Salem then
tfork the State Treasury, for all there is in it, on pretenses
too prodigeous for description. Be it understood that this
county is opposed to such schemes, but is willing to take
up the sensible proposition mapped out by Col. Buckley,
and with his aid make a success of it. We shall be pleased
to see any number of the thinking, representative citizens
of the county in Moro next week, to talk the subject over
with the Court while it is in session. This is the oppor
tune time, “if you have a free thought speak it.”
Why not organize a Home Development League for
Sherman county?
