THE GOOD-ROADS QUESTION.
The position taken by the grange at
Sweet Home is a good one, and it is
one that will be endorsed by the tax
payers of the valley quite generally.
That is, if fine roads arc to be built
they should be at right angles with
the railroads and electric lines through
the valley, reaching into business cen
ters. The great scheme of the road
association is to have one long road
through the state into California, real
ly a move in the interest of automo
bile travel through the state; but the
average tax payer, as much as he ap
preciates the automobile, does not be
lieve the government would be justi
fied in taxing the people for such an
institution. There should be good
roads; but they should reach into il.c
commercial centers in the interest of
the farmer and his trade, and not par
allel the railroads in the interest of the
automobile.
SHOULD THE STATE DO IT?
A move is on foot to have the state
spend an immense sum of money to
secure good water for the state insti
tions at Salem that would be of much
better service to Salem itself. It is
very doubtful whether the state should
do this. Instead it is the business of
the city to furnish pure water for all
of its institutions, both state and civil.
A city that has not the enterprise to
provide pure water lor all witlun its
borders is not entitled to be the capital
of a state. Any other city would be
glad to pledge itselt to lurmsn a pure
water system in order to secure the
capitol, with other state Buildings.
The trouble with most capitals is that
I hey get to depending upon the state
for everything, instead of doing the
thingc themselves customary with cit
ies. SEEING THE LIGHT.
President Schurman, speaking on
"Progressive Politics," said:
"President Taft's tariff board will
turn on the light. We have never be-
f.irn in rill llio liicttrv rf tll (TttltttrV
" . .. j
had such a provision for shedding the'
puttc light ol truth on the tantt ques
tion. This subject has been obscured
by prejudice, by passion, by ignor
ance and by coullicting interests.
"The tariff board will be a source,
in Bacon's phrase, of 'Dry Light.' And
there is no field in which 'Dry Light'
is more urgently needed.
"The general public certainly be
lieves, and this belief is one of the
most vital factors in modrn politics,

certain trusts and enables them to op. I
press the consuming public. The tar. '
iff board should be able to tell us how !
far this accusation is justifiable and to
recommend tariff amendments for the !
corroclion of such an intolerable evil. 1
I "Jf it turns out that the existing (
Shcinlatl anti-trust law is Insufficient
for tho protection of thc people
against monopoly and if the federal
government has not already exhausted
all the power conferred upon it by
the inter-state clause of the constitu
tion, it will devolve upon congress to
amend and strengthen thc anti trust
law.
"If, on the other hand, the federal
government should be left powerless
to regulate thc big industrial corpora
tions, then an amendment of the con
stitution undoubtedly would be effect
ed or attempted in the way prescribed
by the constitution itself. An amend,
incut of the constitution itself would,
of course, be a long and difficult under
taking. "But it is quite possible that no
amendment of the constitution will be
necessary."

LISTEN! ln Mankato. Minn,
where 1 conic from a very short tune
ago, the city owns their own pl.mt, a
modern house lilted with kith and
toilet, ami in addition to tli.it we used
all the water t wanted in our garden
and on our lawn, and never paid more
than 5lc per month, ami the city
made money at that, and we did not
have to be a stockholder to get the
use of the water.
Nearly all of the cities owned their
own water aid light plants, coding
less than one half of what it does in
Albany, baying a bonded indehtcdue'is
of the city out of the profits thereby
making a revenue out of owning the
plant in the place ( a grafting scheme
as Albany's proposition looks to a
newcomer.
Furthermore, don't think for a min
ute that you have to dig a canal or
place a pipe line to the mountains to
get pure water. If that would be true
very few of the Eastern cities would
have pure water. On the contrary,
Mankato, as well as many other East
ern cities, gets its water from wells,
and Albany could do the same thing
at less than cc-quartcr of the ex
pense of piping it from the mountains.
What in the world is Albany thinking
about? Is it our city fathers? Are
all of the citizens of Albany hood
winked? Talk about sending litera
ture to get Eastern people to come to
Albany and then hold them up on this
kind of a proposition. Does your
Water & Light company own Albany
body and soul? If it does, don't, for
God's sake, send any more literature
East. If not, then let's get busy. I
am not a gambler, but I will bet that
Albany could today, by a three-quarter
vote of the people, ovte to own
their own water and lights, not at a
price that the present owners would
he willing to sell it at, but at what a
better plant would actually cost.
Yours for better lights and water,

SATURDAY NIGHT' THOUGHTS.
This week the Oregon legislature
met at Salem, organized by electing
anti-assembly men president of the
senate and speaker of the house, elect
ed clerks, made provision for free
postage stamps and pen wipers,
passed a few resolutions, introduced a
few bills and adjourned for the state
printer, paid by fees, to get his breath
and catch up with the procession.
1 Next week business will start, with the
people watching, ready with their ref
erendums if things arc not run accord
ing to the idea of the masses. It looks
now as if the principal business will
be making additional appropriations
for state institutions, already making
some pretty big demands for increas
es. I he matter of taxation is about as
important as any, the institution of a
system that will be justice to the most
people. Urcgon s tax system has been
111 a somewhat chaotic condition,
the outlook is as uncertain as the

ahead of the national census, as giv

correct, it is also in keeping witli the

would be 6528 in the district, which
reaches out further than the city cen

Something rare in Oregon this week
has been a snow storm, there being as
much as four or five inches of the
stuff on the ground at one time, and
the mercury actually kept going down
until one morning it reached 18
A HOVE zero. These snow storms
arc not at all welcome, and yet, as a
matter of fact they are a good thing,
with the cool snap. They whack some
of the microbes on the trees and keep
the fruit back, else it would bud too
early with prospects oi disaster. It
actually fell on roses and violets, and
sonic red raspberries just escaped be

Portland has been juggling with a
