In the selection of a Highway
Engineer at an annual salary of $3600,
the Stat Highway Commission threw
another bombshell Into the camp ot
those opposing the road bond bill.
Opponents ot this measure had been
predicting that a $6000 or $4000 man
would be given this job. The action
ot the Commissioners In this import
ant matter only corroborates the as
surance previously given that they will
safely and economically expend all
funds entrusted to them. It Is entire
ly In keeping with the announced
policy ot the Commission that It will
give a dollar's worth of value for
every dollar expended In all matters
connected with road construction. Mr.
Nunn, the Highway Engineer, was se
lected because of his efficiency. He
has had years of experience in road
building and t'.ie records of his wor
show the most satisfactory results a
a low cost to these footing the bill.
iS MR. SPENCE
JCOMSISTENT?
Four, years ago C. E, Spence' Master
of t)' G advocated the Grange
bill which proposed the issuance of (
per cent bonds by counties for con
struction of permanent roads, the
bonds to be paid by direct tax levy.
Mr. Spence is now vigorously op
posing the road bond Mil which pro
poses isuing $ti,000,000 twenty-five-year
4 per cent bonds for hard-surfaced
roads. A direct tax is not imposed for
the retirement of these bonds. Ample
revenue to pay the Interest and retire
the bonds at maturity is already pro
vided by law from the increased auto
mobile licenses and the existing one-
fourth mill state road tax which has
been a fixed tax against all property
in the state for the last four years.
In other words, the bill to be passed
upon by the voters at the June elec
tion will not increase the general
taxes of the Individual.
If Mr. Spence was right in 1912 he
is wrong now.
MILITARY PREPAREDNESS
Moving of heavy gun carriages, and
heavy loads of ammunitions and army
supplies, necessitates better roads than
at present are available in Oregon.
L our state Is exposed to attack, the
railroad facilities are not as well
adapted to carrying heavy guns as
are improved highways, and it is up
to Oregon to get its through trunk
roads in shape to facilitate the move
ment of supplies.
Should the railroad centers become
too congested, owing to war burdens
or should they fall into the hands of
an enemy, the through roads would
be the only means of communication
left to get supplies from place to
place In the interior. Farmers would
of necessity depend upon the through
roads for marketing their crops. Every
resident of Oregon will see the neces
sities of the situation once this is
called to his attention and will see
the bearing this has on the road ques
tion to be voted upon June 4th.
The Dalles Chronicle.
Good roads are indispensable to the
progress and prosperity of any state
or community. Such improvements
attract the tourist, encourage local
development, promote social life, im
prove market conditions and stimu
late thrift. Rural life is made more
attractive and agricultural develop
ment is advanced in proportion as ac
cessible roads are established and
maintained. The further settlement
and development of the state's unten
anted lands add to their value. The
consequent increase in assessable val
ues gives assurance of reduced taxes.
Support the good roads bond bill June
4th and thereby assist to effect these
conditions.
Oregon has talked good roads for
60 years. Millions of dollars have been
expended in that time filling mud
holes. The state is in third place in
commerce and population among the
Coast states. The road bonding prop
osition, on which the people will vote
June 4th, Is the ' first comprehensive
road programme ever submitted to the
people.
With the main trunk lines, provided
for in the road bond bill, taken care
of, road district money will be ex
pended on looal laterals connecting
with state-Improved highways, bring
ing the farmer, no matter where situ
ated, in direct contact with the city
markets.
All are agreed that Oregon needs
good roads. The only material dif
ference of opinion Is as to the method
of financing the movement direct tax
ation or bonds based on a revenue
already provided by law. The fact
that taxes are already burdensome is
the very best argument for issuing
bonds. The combined revenue from
an increased auto license and the
existing state road tax will pay the
Interest and retire at maturity the
bonds proposed In the good roads bill.
The people will vote on this bond bill
at the special election June 4th.
SCHOOL NOTES FROM
1 SUPERINTENDENT
Mr. N. 8. Pittman, head of the
Rural Department of the Oregon Nor
mal School, at Monmouth, Oregon,
was a visitor in Morrow county April
IS. IS and 17.
April 16th, In company with your
county school superintendent, he vis
ited three of our high schools, Hepp
ner, Lexington and lone, where in
his forceful manner he delivered ad
dresses to the high school students
which were Inspiring and helpful.
From lone we went to school dis
trict No. 28, where Miss Lera Githens
to" teaching. The grounds and build
ing were ot the antiquated type, but
a surprise was In store when we en
tered the building. It was such a
bright and cheery place, so neat and
homelike, the teacher possessing a
bright, sociable, sunshiny natnre, and
the pupils responding to its Influence.
The scene will be remembered by
each of us, and surely the sunshine
will live forever in the hearts of the
pupils.
Mr. Pittman talked to them about
the Influence of good reading, and
rendered a selection which was hear
tily enjoyed by all.
From here we went to Morgan.
Mrs. Ida Gaumnetz, who Is visiting
there from Seattle, kindly prepared
supper for us at the store and we cer
tainly did justice to the meal.
Geo. B. Whitcomb, owner of the
store, and Mr. Faulkner, enter
tained us with music until eight o'
clock when we went to the Morgan
school where a local institute was
held.
This meeting was the occasion for
calling together the teachers, school
officers, parents and children of dis
tricts Nos. 5, 16 and 28. A program
consisting of songs, recitations and
readings was arranged by the teach
ers Misses Lillian Tro'edson, Lera
Githens and Echo Githens. The chil
dren rendered their parts in a pleas
ing manner.. Miss Echo Githa,ns
gave a short talk upon "Our Schools
and How to Improve Them." Mr.
Geo. Ely, chairman of one of the
school boards, handled the topic,
"Why I am Proud of my Country,"
In an able manner. Mrs. Shurte
spoke about the "Industrial Club
Work," and the next morning or
ganized a club of several members.
Mr. Pittman's address followed and
was enjoyed by all present. The
meeting was satisfactory in every
way. The next morning we visited
the school to learn something of the
regulamvork, and were much pleased
with Miss Githens' management. The
pupils are enthusiastic and willing
workers. A report from there since
our return says "The boys have built
a teeter and swing on the play ground
since you left." They are wanting
to make , their school a standard
school, a standard school in every
way.
From this place we went to Cecil,
visited the school taught by Mr.
Grant. A small room in the hall is
used for this school. We found books
from the State Library there. A stone
water cooler, maps and other equip
ment equal to most of the districts
In the county.
Mr. Grant is teaching a good
school, the pupils are interested and
he is getting results. Discipline was
perfect
In the afternoon a pleasing pro
gram was rendered by the school.
Mr. Pittman gave a reading which
was enjoyed by all.
Leaving this school we went to the
Cecil school house, where a very suc
cessful meeting was planned. Mrs.
Joyce Hayes and Miss Irene Douglass
arranged the meeting. The program
consisted of musical selections and
the swinging of Indian clubs by the
teachers and pupils.
Miss Irene Douglass' musical solo
was heartily encored and a second
one rendered.
Mr. Sturgill from Gilliam county
was present and made an interesting
talk. Mr. Pittman followed and the
meeting closed with a few remarks
from the clerk, Mr. W. B. Ewing.
While at Cecil we stopped at
C. A. Minor's for dinner and too
much praise cannot be given Mrs.
Bennett for the splendid repast.
We had some of the finest butter
milk we ever tasted and our only
regret was that we could not camp
right there.
