FARMER'S UNION LET
I
The grain elevator project of
the lleppuer Fanner's Union,
has become an assured fact. No
longer is it only "talked of" or
"hoped for" but by the action of
the building cointnitto last Sat
urday it became a certainty.
Bids for the construction of
the plant were opened last Sat
urday and the coutract was
awarded to J. W. Johnson, of
Seattle, for a consideration of
about $18,000. Besides Mr.
Johnson the Tum-a-Lum Lumber
Co , and the Burrill Construction
Co , submitted bids there being
but slight difference between the
respective (inn's figures but
after careful consideration on
the part of the com milieu, Mr.
Johuson's bid was accepted as
being the best.
Because of the excessive price
of steel for re-inforccmeut of a
concrete structure the com mittee
decided to build of wood but
along all other lines the plant
will bo of Iho very latest uikI
best in design, machinery and
construction. Experts who have
examined the plans and specifi
cations agree that, when com
pleted, tho Ueppuer Fanner's
Union will have one of the very
best and most modern elevators
in the state.
Power for operating the ma
chinery will be supplied by two

Opponents of the road bond
bill contend that Iho proposed
bond issue will become an added
burden to the general taxpayer.
As a complete answer and ref- towards the cost of building good

Everybody wants good roads.
The need for improved highways
is admitted. Every citizen is anx
ious and willing to pay his share
Legislative Good Roads Commit
tee has incorporated the follow
ing statement as a part of its
argument in support of the bond
bill which will be published in
the official state pamphlet:
"We have ascertained from
the records of the office of the
Secretary of State that the in
come from tho present quarter
mill tax is $220,000 per annum;
that tho income from auto licen
ses based upon the present num
ber of automobiles at Iho in
creased license rale effective
August 1st, will bo not less than
$310,000 per annum lo bo used
in paying iuterest and principal
of bonds. The above funds will
be sullicient not only to pay Hie
interest ami the principal of the
$0,000,000 bonds authorized by
this act, bul will also pay the
interest and principal of tho
$l,8IO,2wo.-ri iu bonds authorized
to meet l tics government roan
appropriation After paying
these bonds there will be a sur
plus of at least $2,7:3,402.25.
Since 1911 the increase in the
number of automobiles in the
State of Oregon lias been 33 1.3
22 horse power gas or distillate ! per cent per year. With the
has insisted upon and is asking
today is that the public receive one
dollar of value for every dollar
expended in road construction.
Frequently in the past the pub
lic has not received full value
from these expenditnres. But
this has been due invariably to
the lack of a systematic plan of
road building and an intelligent
supervision of the work hy pub
lic odicials charged with disburs
ing the fund.
Tho last Legislature, however,
provided the necessary legislation
for introducing in Oregon a sys
tematic and intelligent campaign
for the state-wide construction
of permanent hard surface high
ways. A complete road code was
adopted and a Highway Commis
sion created for its adminislra
tion. Another measure provided
for the issuance of bonds aggre
gating $1,800,(100 with which to
match an equal amount provided
by the Government, under the
Shackleford Act, for the con
struction of post roads and for
est roads.
Most important of the Legis
lative measures was that author

To the. Editor:
Many questions have been
asked recently in regard to mat
ters arising out of the conditions
which necessarily prevail on ac
count of the slate of war which
exisln. I'eoplo must boar "in
mind that many 'things which
ire permissible iu a lime., of
peace .are not permissible in a
time of war. It is the policy -of
both the National and State Gov
ernments to cause as little in
convenience to citizens and others
as is consistent with the proper
protection of the rights and dig
nity of the country.
Citizens are urged to refrain
from talk and actions which
ire calculated lo stir up trouble
with foreigners who may be
within our borders or with our
citizens of foreign birth If any
citizen comes into possession of
any knowledge or rumor oT any
acts or talk- inimical to the inter
mis of the country, he should
tint peddle Ihe same about, but,
should communicate it In sonic
pac ollieer, who will take such
steps as are necessary in the
premises. If this policy is pur-
sued, loreigneis ami loicign
born citizens will bo saved

will be avoided. Those who
