THE HIGHWAY SITUATION
While the present situation re
garding the building of the Morrow
county section of the Oregon-Washington
highway is to be regretted it
is by no means so serious as to
cause the people of the county to
consider for one moment the aband
onment of road building this year.
Based on estimates made by the
highway engineers last spring the
county court made an allottment of
$125,000 for grading the Willow
creek section of the highway. When
tno engineers made their final esti
mates of construction cost to go
with the specifications for the infor
mation of prospective contractors,
which was submitted to the commis
sioners at their latest meeting, it was
ound that, because of the unexpected
advance in cost of labor and material
it was imperative that the former es
timates be revised in such a way as
to ullow a margin for the advanced
tost.
Under the terms of the bond elec
tion held last Juno the money de
rived from the sule of the bonds
must be expended on the particular
road designated and nowhere else so
that no sum beyond ,the $125,000
can be taken from, the road fund for
use on the Willow cree'k section.
On another page of this paper are
act lorth a number of suggestions al
ready made by men who have given
the matter considerable thought as
in different methodB for completing
the financing of the highway and the
Herald believes that from among
them or perhaps from some plan yet
to l suggested, will come a satisfac
tory solution of the problem.
While it Is admitted that the pres
ent cost of road building is perhaps
100 per cent higher than it was a
few years ago. It should be kept in
mind that it Is the general opinion
among men of affairs the country
over that present high prices in all
linen are likely to continue for years
to came and If this opinion Is cor
rect It would be futile Tor Morrow
county needing roads as badly as
tshe does- to drop the good road
ca iuiuign ho auspiciously begun, be
cause of liig'ii cost of construction.
Anot lntr point that should he
borne in mind by every man and
wnnan Interested In the welfare and
development of Morrow county Is
tlml at Ibis lime the state highway
commission bus at Its disposal seve
ral million dollars with which to
"nmtch" equal expenditures made

CHAMBERLAIN FOR l'RKSIOKNT
Senator Chamberlain's declinat on
to permit the use of his name as a
candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for president, coupled with
his announcement of his intent to
seek re-election as United States Sen
ator from Oregon, was couched in his
usual graceful language. The letter
Is being Quoted widely ana com
mended universally.
Certain it is that no honor can be
heaped by Oregon upon 'her favorite
son will be withheld. His re-elec
tlon as senator by an over-whelming
majority seems assured. And if any
one files a petition In such form
that his name also can be voted upon
in our direct primary, without sacri
ficing his senatorial candidacy, Ore
gon democrats will endorse him for
president. He proved to be the great
War Senator of the majority party in
the senate during the most trying
period of recent history and the pa
triotic people of Oregon lhave not
forgotten. Oregon Voter.
Can you create the one word
which will best denote the United
States and all parts of Britannia?
If so, you will be paid at the rate of
$1000 a word. The World Trade
club of San Francisco has offered
$1000 to the person who BUggests the
word which, in the Judgment of the,
club's Metric Campaign Committee,
is the best adapted for world wide
use.
The campaign Is open to all hu
mankind. The money will be paid
to the winner at noon on the 15th of
May, 1920, by a committee appointed
by President W. H. Hammer of the
World Trade Slub.
"Brit-Am," "Ambria," "Ambritti-
ca, ' "Br-Am, Sam-Bull, ' are some
words thus far suggested. New-
names are constantly coming. The
World Trade Club Is offering this re
ward because in carrying on its pres
ent campaign for the adoption, of
metric units by all English speaking
people the United States, the Brit
ish Isles, Canada, Australia, New
Zeland, Tasmania, United South
Africa and so on it was hampered
by the lack of a single short word
which would express all these.
The metric unit of weights and
measures are now used by all the
world except "Brit-Am," or "Amr
brittica" or "Sam-Bull."
Failure to bring his store news be
fore prospective customers is the
reason why the local merchant fails
to stop the mail order concern, says
Fred P. Mann, president of tlae North
Dakota Retail Dealers association,
Devils Lake, North Dakota, Mr.
Mann investigated trade practices
and conditions in 100 cities and
towns, and found that in most of
them the merchant falls to use his
strongest weapon advertising. Edi
tors of weeklies in Wisconsin have
organized a league to obtain foreign
advertising. Their purpose, says
the secretary', Walter J. Strong, Eik
horn. Wis., is to promote their own
interest. If the volume of business
is determined as Mr. Mann suggests
by the advertising, who will do the
business in those towns where the
weeklies run chiefly Secretary
Strong's imported advertising. O.

BANKRUPTCY IS COSTLY
"The inveterate price-cutter is the
irresponsible Uhlan of the business
world. Sometimes he succeeds but
usually he fails. He succeeds by
raising prices on those articles that
the customers are not noticing, to
make up for the lowering of prices
on the articles that the customers do
notice.
"Whenever a price-cutter really
slashes his prices down to cost or
less, it means that he has been badly
wounded in the commercial struggle
and that he will probably soon be
carried out to join the great majori
ty. "In such a case it Is quite true
that buyers may derive a temporary
gain by taking advantage of his
troubles; but In the long run there
is nothing so costly to a nation as
bankruptcy." Herbert N. Casson In
