Ula. 1919 FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, nail Tha mora wa travel over the pub Ik roads of Lino county and other coinUee the more era are convinced that aomebody baa been greatly wronged. Not that era are partic ularly proud of road conditions in Linn Gouty at tha present time, but, generally speaking they are aa good aa tha average to be found anyplace. Go to Lebanon on either the San tiam road or out by the Hinshaw and Whit Crawford places and a fairly de cent niece of road is encountered. Go on np through Lebanon to Sweet Home and Foster. The road is still passing fair. Take a trip up the east side of the Willamette river to Har risburg. It is a f!ss stretch, partic ularly from the turn a mile southeast of Corvallis. And there are other roads in the county that are fit to McKnight, or Commission re J. D. Irvine and T. J. Butler, but an apprec iation of the difficulties that thy had to face. v The Democrat did not agree with the court in the matter of a future road policy.- for it believed that even tha beat roads that could be built in tha old way would not stand up un der tha increasing automobile and truck travel. Nor did it agree with Judge Mcknight in the manner of raising funds for road construction. The method of paying as we go by taxation would take a long time to get any place. But J idge McKnight honestlr be lieves that tha loading of so large a debt upon tha people ia a dangerous practise. In advocating his view he was unmercifully flayed by those most strongly opposing him and in soma quarters there was very little regard for the truth. But whether or not we agree with Judge McKnight, many of his oppon ents will have to admit that tha pld court mighty well, held taxea down w a minimum and kept the two thousand or more miles of roads in fairly good shape considering the amount of funds on hand. The new court is a progressiva set of men, and endowed with appropriat ion with which to make a beginning, Linn County may look forward to a more rapid realisation of her hopes for smooth roads all over tha vast area it covers. Local bonds, regular and special taxes, state bonds and taxea and federal funds are going to make a mighty difference in the next few years. and should not be resorted to with- out the very beat kind of a reason. The local railway workers are a le vel headed body of men, with a mini mum or tile fanatical foreign element mixed in with it, men who have an appreciation for American in stitu tions and justice and can be counted upon to trust the satisfactory solu tion of their problem to Woo1 row WtUn. . aWtl-LJ ami , It ia eTatlfvln to ih brother Inir. alls of theG.T. SDorovinr of some thing that President Wilson does. But in lauding the President of thcU. S. for his stand on the strike question the nrMhlrtiit n th .( . f .!...; I association kills the good taste by puiung a sunger in nis Ooquet, AH of which shows that the former county court did have a definite road policy and, with -limited means was building up tha roads in the county. This Is no defense for Judge D. B. FANATICAL STRIKE FIENDS nun The 'railroad operators and shop men in Albany and other Darts ot Oregon are proving themselves to be .a very level-headed and patriotic set i of men. They did not permit them 1 selves to be stampeeded into a strike simply because soma inter-urban train men operating around Los Angeles were dissatisfied, and. having rained the ear of some brotherhood men, in duced the rail road workers in that VKinity to strike in sympathy with them. They in turn won the sym pathy, for a time, of the San Franci sco and Oakland workers and traffic in California, Nevada and Arizona was tied up tight for a few hours. A rail road strike is a serious n re position when it is considered that many communities are wbollv der- endent upon the railroads for food.
