ILL ADVISED RECRUITING The urgent request of Governor , . tt t i I James Withycombe, that the ( war department issue an order suspending recruiting in the r 0 , rural district, is quite timely.

Under these circum stances it would be folly to rob our farms, of their skilled labor which, would have to be replaced "with novices MAKING WAR LOANS POPU LAR " The government's plan to poo ularize the "liberty loan" i3 greatly approved by the busi ness men of the nation who real Ize the desirability of giving a . wide circulation, not only to the first but to all other war bond Isues it places before the people of the United States. A two-year war will draw lieavily on our financial resour- ces. Congress has already vot- ed $7,000,000,000 and will be forced to appropriate additional billions for the growth and main tenance of the army and navy, and for the prosecution of th republic's war aims and for the lurtherance of the financial in terests of our allies. The finances of the allies must be' kept intact and is one Of the most important factors ill the moves of the treasury dc-1 rv,0f r. iof tu British government needs $100, j 000,000 to supply her need for themonth of May. She has al ready borrowed one half this amount. In addition, the United States government will continue to extend credit to Prance .Belgium Italy and Rus sia, together with other nations that seem to be in need of help. ' The successive war bondisssues floated by this country should be absolved, as nearly as possi ble, by the general public. Ef forfs are to be made to reach the majority of the people.es pecially those who have not in vested in government securities. The bonds must be put out in Bmall denominations in order to fit the small investor's pocket book. "In this way, millions of dollars, that otherwise would not figure in the treasury de partment's calculations, will be made available for investment in federal securities. Of equal importance is the fact that the repeated loans will draw to a materitflly lessefc extent upon tho liquid capital of the country, jupon which business necessarily 3nust continue to depend. COMMUNICATION "The Road Bond Bill" Sprlngflold, Oregon, MaylB, 1917. To tho Editor: Tho' a Into day, and utter others hnvo had tholr Bay ou tho ltuprov- ! niont road question, undor tho Impend ing bonding for Rood roads, plcnso allow a .say from another votor of tho I state, by giving n fow oplnloua amou othora, why I am In favor of bonding for SG.000.000. for tho nurnoso of hard surface roads. 1 had much rather It ' bo $10,000,000. oven should there bo but a fow counties benefited by It, nu j there would be nn entering wodgu townrd building a wealthy coming state-hood. Another reason Is, not only Ore- Ron, but tho whole nation needs harl surfaced roads for wngon, nuto and truck use, because of distressingly poor railroad transportation. Tha way the average railroad Is managed seems to make transportation prohlh- because Q, (ho scarcty of freght Rnd lh(J con8eQU0nt tnrdy tranR. fer of freight.

Think of It. Why is this thus? Because the railroad "magnates" instead of put- tlng surplUg earninB8 lnto new equlp. like the post office system. No prl- Vate graft. Selah! A Biblical ex- pression. I have no personal grievance against any railroad, save a dislike for self ishness run wild to greed. (Selfish ness is the only sin In human life t There are too many "melons" for rail-, road "magnates." j At one time away down my lon life, when an associate aditor, I earn ed favors from rail road compalnes, In their Issuing yearly and other time passes over continental lines on an-, count of the press as a descriptive writer. , I assisted in working up an emigra tion to the Arkansas Valley. Tha rail roads then run on a mere public usage. The world was at peace, and like May, all the earth was gay. !

Seven of Portland's loading hotels annually dlsburno among Oregon pro ducers $350,000 for tho products ot tho farm. Of that total at least $210, 000 Is distributed direct to tho small farmer for poultry, butter, eggs,. milk, cream and vegetables, The remain ing $U0,000 Is paid put for ham, ba con, fish and fresh moat. Although the foregoing figures nro those ot tho hotels which handle tio bulk of tho transient travel In Port laud, they do not show nil that tho transient travel means to tha Oregon farmer. Hundreds ot tourists frequently take their meals at a grill, restaurant or cafeteria not connected with tho hotel ut which they aru registered. It obtainable these figures would ma terially swell tho grand total ot what this business means to Oregon pro ducers. Ono of the arguments used against the six million road bond bill Is thnt the roads to be hard surfaced under tho provisions of th- muasuro will be "scenic roads" rather than market roads. The figures quoted above would Indicate that the farmer bus a direct and material Interest in any plan of road building such as Is pro vided for It It will make more acces sible a market such as Portlund af fords for his products. As an illustration of what good roads mean to the farmer ono Port land hotel pays one producer annually S30Q0 for ecKs alone. Ho navs 33 tho completion ot the roads desig nated In the bond bill Oregon will at tract a good share of tho tourist busi ness now largely monopolized by Cali fornia ami estimated to bo worth to thnt slate annually $200,000,000.

Auto owners will havo to pay tho Increased feo regardless of whether or not the road bond bill Is upproved at the June election. It the $6,000,000 road bond bill is approved by the people, the money derived therefrom will .be expended In the construction of a statc-wldo system of permanent roads. County money now spent on mnln trunk Hues will be used on laterals and less traveled roads If the road bonds carry at the special election on June 4th. "During the past winter, sheepmen In my section of tho stato lost fully 40 per cent of tholr lambs owing to the weather and the inability to tran sport feed from the railroads because of the Impassable condition ot tho roads," reports O. M. Rlakoly, a prom inent Grant County sheepman. "With .the good roads provided in tho $6,000,- 000 road bond bill wo would have been able to get the necessary stock food and reduced to a minimum the loss of lambs. With tho bottomless roads we now have In our part of the state, that was impossible. This Is an element that enters Into the prevailing high cost of living. Less stock means constantly Increasing higher prices. The people of my county are emphatically for the road bond bill and any other legislation that will Improvo existing conditions In the matter of transportation In ru ral communities." "With good roads, Eastern Linn County can produce and market thou sands of tons of good products from land now given over entirely to graz ing purposes," announced Oeorgo 01 tendorfer, a good roads booster of Cascadla, who walked 16 miles to at tend a recent good roads meeting at Lebanon. "With our present poor roads, It Is Impossible for us readily to reach the market with such prod ucts, with the result that this acre age, so adapted for agriculture, Is chiefly valuable only for grazing pur poses. With good roads that would make markets moro available, stock can bo moved farther back and this land developed In an agricultural way, In this way, tho further settle ment of the state would be uldcd with a consequent increase in tho states production of food products." Considering the activities ot State Master Speuce on the one hand and the number of favorable resolutions passed by Individual granges on the other, so far as tho grange Is con cerned In the bond proposition it ap pears a case of whether tho dog shall wag tho tall or the tall wag the dog. Hlllsboro Independent. The stato pamphlet on the six mil lion dollar bonding measure will soon be In the hands of the voters. Do not throw It awav without a careful stUdy. This seems like an opportunity for improved roads that we are not likely to get again if now turned down. Hcrmlston Herald, r k a A SAFETY DEPOSIT' BOX IS A NECESSITY AND A CONVENIENCE.
