Gen eral Tavlor commenced the war in northern Mexico and, afterwards, was tewarded with the presidency. General Scott entered Mexico terri tory at Vera Crux and made a drive for Mexico City, which he captured ami SOded the war. General Scott afterwards was a nominee for the presidency, but was defeated. Then came the civil war which developed many heroes in both the north and the south. When the names of Generals Grant. Sherman. Sheridan, Thomas. McPherson and others of the north are mentioned and Generals lee. "Stonewall" Jack- son. Johnson, of Shiloh fame and others of the south, it causes the average American to feel proud to be a member of a nation which can produce such men. ('«eneral Grant was afterwards twice elected presi dent and his memorable words "Let us have peace” will ever live in the hearts of his countrymen. cause a greatly increased cost should road (uiving now be undertaken. There are numerous reasons why the proposed road bond lasue should tie defeated at the present time, even if th«* wealth and population of the state fully justified the under taking. jmiong which we mention the following: The plan was f»rmulal«*d or given birth at a banquet at the Henson hotel in Portland, just a few days before the close of the legislative session and the |>a»<<ag«* of th«* meas ure was driven through without giv ing legislators a reasonable time to deliberate upon and to duly consider it. At the banquet there were no doubt lepresenlativea of the paving companies, which are deeply inter ested in the success of the scheme. They are interest«*d because the life of patented pavement will expire in a short time when, of course, there would be no rakeuff in the way of royalties for them. Hence (to them) the vital necessity of quick action. Admitting the value of paved high ways. they can be construct«^! two or three years hence without the extra charge of royalty.

Anothrr very important reason why the bonds should be defeated is the fact that the purpose is to use. by far. the largest part of the funds to develop pleasure and scenic roads. Had it not I men that Portland is very anxious to have the Columbia highway completed. It is doubtful if we would ever have heard of the proposed road bond*. Portland, of course, desires to be in quick auto touch of her seaside resorts. never theless she has both train and boat service to them at hours which suit the convenience of must people But them* convenient sources of transportation are not enough. A third route for the autos must lie provided and thia bonding scheme was provided to supply this purely pleasure nee«!; for ail know that the business need is nil. Now should this bonding ■rheme I m * postponed until the war is over and norms! conditions are again re stored. no commercial interests will suffer in the least. Then labor will be more plentiful, the business interests will be more stable and the people can feel more sure of what future conditions will be. And. perhaps, by that time paving patents will have expired and the state will j have establishiM cement plants so that paving can be nrovided at a minimum of rust. Also, our road enthusiasts, by that time, may be come convinced that market roads are of more importance to the state than are roads for tourist travel an»! joy riders. Two or three years of delay will not injure our state in anv way and may result in a finan cial benefit. Look at the matter in any wav you may and good common horsr sense admonish»« to not be too hasty.
