MOKHOW COl'NTV OFFICIAL PAPER
We cannot conceive that there
should be any opposition whatever
to the proposition to vote $290,000
bonds in this ccunty for the con
struction of permanent roads, yet it
develops that some are opposed to
the measure. This opposition, how
ever, is only slight, and the measure
should carry by a practically un
animous, vtte.
Oregon, and Morrow county as
well, as a part of Oregon, is begin-
ning to wake up to the realization
that the time has arrived for a for
ward movement. Nothing , has yet
. been proposed that means more for
the development of the state at
- large than the road bonding meas
ures, and while we believe that the
people of this county will stand by
our own bond issue, we cannot
aford to overlook the still larger
program that takes in the entirt
state.
The six per cent county indebted
ness for permanent roads amend
ment, the Roosevelt Highway bill
and the market roads tax bill should
each receive our suport just as
readily as the measure pertaining to
our own county alone, and we must
recognize the fact that selfishness
in this matter is not going to get' us
as far along as we should like. It
is purely a matter of pulling for
every measure that means the build
ing up of Oregon.
We shall hope to see those who
take up our. bonding program for
discussion before the people of the
county, include in their argument
support for these various measures,
that each one may have - just as
strong support at the polls as we
give the local issue.
The Roosevelt Highway would
open up 350 miles of coast country
and put Oregon on the map with one
of the most scenic roads is the world.
It would mean the expenditure of
$5,000,000 to be paid by the govern
ment and Oregin's motor license
system, not by the taxpayers. The
people cannot afford to vote it
down.,
BE ON GUARD.
A. C. Townely and Joseph Gilbert,
the one president and the other Non
Partisan league organizer, are to
stand trial on charges of disloyalty.
Townley is said to have published a
pamphlet in violation of the espion
age act, and Gilbert has been in
dicted for having made public utter
ances designed to discourage pa
triotic co-operation during the war.
Demurrers of both men have been
overruled by the Jackson county,
Minn., district court, If these men
are guilty of having attempted to
obstruct the work of government
officials in raising an army or have
interfered with the authorities in any
other manner while the country was
at war, they should pay the penalty.
The United States spent billions of
dollars to make the world free for
democracy and many thousands of
our young men gave up their lives'
for the cause of humanity. During
the conflict traitorous propagandists
were busy all over the country and
an effort was made to undermine
the constitution and overturn the SEE
government. Many of the prop-(
0 agandists were foreigners, but not all i
of them. Enemy aliens were sent
to internment camps, while treacher- j
ous Americans were placed in the
federal prisons. Unfortunately, i
some of the guilty ones escaped de
tection and conviction. It is not too
late to bring all such to the bar of i
justice. The fact that the war was
won and that the peace treaty is
about to be signed cuts no figure.
Let all offenders be properly pun
ished. Some of the I. W. W. leaders con
victed before Judge Landis in
Chicago have been allowed bail j ss
pending a new trial. We note, how- j
ever, that bonds for the release of jss
William D. Haywood, now serving Ipa
sentence at Fort Leavenworth, have j SB
been refused by the United States ;
circuit court of appeals, the prof- j S
fered securities being regarded as
insufficient. Haywood was the head
and front to the I. W. W. conspiracy
and was sent to the federal prison
for a term of twenty years, which
we hope he will be compelled to s
serve. He has the right of appeal,
but he is not entitled tp his freedom
unless his conviction is set aside by
due process of law. No promises jjjj
made by him that he will not encase
in new conspiracies can be taken,
for he has no respoct for the law and
!does not believe in any kind of
! civilized government. He should
not be turned loose at a time when
jthe I. W. W. disturbers have re-
newed their attacks upon the estab
lished order of things. The red
flag has made its oppearance in
Cleveland and other cities and the
followers of "Big Bill" are engaged
in making trouble wherever they are
allowed to nest.
All over the world there are signs
of unrest. Anarchists, Bolshevists
and the "direcj action" miscreants
are boldly asserting their damnable
doctorines in many places and entei
ing into conspiracies where they do
hot dare work in the open. There are
some thousands of. such scoundrels
in the' United States. These men
are not honest toilers, but agitators
who expect to share the spoils of the
fovernment can be destroyed and all
kindi of property turned over to the
human vultures who are too lazy to
work for a living and seek to enjoy
the fruits of the labor of others.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty and all patriotic American
citizens should be constantly on their
guard. The world is about to enter
upon a new era, but there will be no
such thing' as absolute security even
under the league of nations until
the anarchist agitators are put where
they rightfully belong. It may be
that the Russians will be unable to
free themselves from the rule of the
Lenines and Trotzkys for a long time
to come. The lesson of Russia is
plain. Bolshevism should not be
allowed to gain a foothold in the
United States. None but Americans
on guard. Salt Lake Tribune. '

Mr. Ford Owner
WHY PAY EXCESS PRICES FOR REPAIR WORK?
We have adopted the system of the Ford Motor Co.
in doing all repair work on Ford cars at a contract price.
The advantage is: you know at once the cost of the
work. These prices were compiled by the Ford Motor
Co. and are considerably cheaper than if the work was
done at $1.00 per hour labor charge.
Bring your car in, we- tell you beforehand what the
cost will be.
All of our work absolutely guaranteed to be first class,
and second to none. "
Yours for complete satisfaction,

Puncture-Proof Tire Service
Guaranteed
There are many prominent business men in
this city glad to tell you their experiences
with Gates Half-Sole tires.
These men are getting 5,000 to 15,000 more
miles than ever before from their tires.
Many of them first bought for economy
Gates Half-Sole Tires cost only 1-2 as much
but now they buy because they are getting
better tire service and longer mileage than
they ever believed it was possible to get from
tires.
The reason is that Gates Half-Sole Tires em
body a new principle in tire construction
which eliminates tire trouble and cuts tire
expense in half.
They are guaranteed puncture-proof.
Investigate!
