TiHE city council has undertak en a very worthy work in the improvement of Heppner's streets. This work has been going on for the most part of the past year at least it was undertaken on a plan that makes for permanency early in the spring and we now have a lot of work completed that gives the people of the city an idea of what the council has in mind. Their plan seems to be one of practical macadam for all of the side streets, thus doing away for all time to come with the mud nuisance in the. winter and great ly reducing the plague of dust during the summer season. This question of maintenance of streets has been one the coun cil has wrestled with for many long years. The policy in times past has been on a par with that of the county concerning roads before the era of good road build ing was ushered in ; just patching up here and there, spending a con siderable sum each year but get ting no where when it came to permanent improvements. This policy in the end, of course, has proven expensive and very unsat isfactory. A number of years ago a bond issue furnished the means for macadamizing Main street and a portion of two other streets, and the work proved its worth in serv ice, and there was little spent in maintenance. The coming of the state highway has helped to keep the Main street in good shape, and this svmmer it was all gone over again and treated to oil and now seems to be practically as good as though it were paved, and the cost was far less. So the city fathers have taken up the idea of permanent improvements to the side streets and cross streets and are doing a good job of it, all to their everlasting credit. In the future it will not be hard to maintain these streets, and as time goes on the improvements will be all the more appreciated. Having this matter up for com ment at this time, we are con strained to call attention to the city budget being published this week. It will appear that there has not been very liberal provis ion made for the continuance of this work of street improvement, and no fund created for mainten ance. As the city has already con tracted for the delivery of 1500 yards of crushed rock on the streets at a price of $2.15, which will require a total of $3225, to which must be added the expense of one half yard of binder to each yard of gravel, there will be but Songs of Plain Folks 13if James wis Hays Grandmrfslflianksgiving It takes Thanksgiving Day to bring The children and their babies, too, So you'll not wonder that I sing I hough I have lots of things Grandma can't see them much She does, it seems almighty To think they're coming home But then, my old heart knew It's days ahead, but Father tramps All 'round the place without his cane, w niiuing out, piayimngs ior inose scamps, r John's boys, and looking down the lane si As if he thought they'd come today; Mercy!

IF YOU hang on and persevere you may not succeed anyhow, but if you give up you are sure to lose. Albert Payson Terhune listed recently a number of things about failures who hung on and finally succeeded. He tells of Garibaldi, who had lost everything and was in prison and condemned to death, yet he never lost his grip and lived to be the Savior of Italy. A middle-aged man peddled cordwood in St. Louis in a shabby, old army overcoat, yet this figure was General Grant, who afterwards was elected President of the United States. I An obscure country farmer wanted to come to America and his King would not let him. That farmer afterwards became ruler of England, Oliver Cromwell. Patrick Henry could not make good in the grocery business or on his farm, but became one of our most famous orators. At middle age Stonewall Jackson was an obscure college instructor. He lived to be the idol of the South. Bulwer Lytton thought he was a failure when young and though he was a hopeless invalid he hung on and was after wards one of the most famous English writers and a member of the peerage. Thomas A. Edison, as a hard-up newsboy-candy butcher was thrown from a train and his fall injured his hearing. He gut up and tackled his tasks anew and you know whaj he be came afterwards. Alexander Graham Bell was not much of a success in his youth, but those who bought his stock when he was peddling it at a cheap rate are now rich. Robert Louis Stevenson, a consumptive, sat on a bench in a San Francisco park, middle-aged and penniless. He became one of the most famous writers in the world. Napoleon the Third fled to England, was dead broke and made a bare living in America. Afterwards he became Em peror of the French. Napoleon Bonaparte was considered a failure when a young man, but by a change of fortune became the foremost man of the earth. So, if you can't do anything else you can hold on. Nobody knows when the lightning is going to strike or where. little remaining out of the $5000 the budget provides. It is figured that the 1500 yards of gravel now contracted will cover the streets for fifteen blocks, and this is about half of the work that should be done. While this paper is anxious to see the city taxes kept down as close as possible, yet we do not believe it is good economy to make improvements of this kind on the streets of the city, and then fail to provide for maintenance. The taxpayers of the city should look into this item of the pro posed budget. Governor Against $3 Fee. DURING the past week Gov ernor Patterson had occasion to address the Corvallis Chamber of Commerce, and the main part of his speech was directed against the proposed initiative measure that would reduce the present au to license to $3.00. Commenting on what the Governor had to say, the Benton Independent of Cor vallis says: For the third time the governor of Oregon has been a speaker at the local chamber of commerce luncheons and banquets. We believe no other chamber can claim as much from the busy executive and further our cry that we have the livest chamber in the state. The governor's speech this time was one which is vital and timely and he spoke on a subject which is in more need of publicity right now than most of us realize. to do. and when good. again! . they would! eyes; will see how m fmam He spoke against the proposed re duction of the automobile license to $3, petitions for which are now being circulated. The governor is anxious that the petitions go unsigned, and rightly. He understands more than most of us the necessity of a fight against this unsound proposal. He realizes that the present motor tax law is per haps not what it should be, and can see the danger of dissatisfied persons jumping to this proposal as a way out. Oregon has been committed to the present highway program for years and is still committed to it in the form of obligations to the extent of nearly $35,000,000, which must be paid by Oregon for it is a bonded indebtedness of the state. The present licensing fee will take care of that, retire the bonds and also care for improvements in the present system, maintenance, and new con struction as it is needed. But the proposed change is certain to "wreck" the highway program to use the word the governor used. Here's how it would do it: It would stop imme diately all highway work, except that under actual contract, awaiting the voice of the people, should the peti tions bear enough signatures to place the measure on the ballot. The state indebtedness for our present highways would be saddled on general property by direct taxa tion. That is the worst danger. Di rect taxes are high enough in Oregon now, and the state is operating under a deficit. Property owners should interest themselves in the matter to the ex tent of assuring themselves that a measure of this kind never comes to vote. There are many voters in Ore gon now who pay the automobile tax as the only tax they pay. They are liable to favor a reduction of the present fee and the shouldering of this debt to property. We have taken up our highway pro gram and nothing since the begin ning of statehood has been more val uable to us. Now that we have com mitted ourselves to this progressive step, let's keep it up and pay our just debts. Business Ease. A GREAT New York merchant, doing a yearly business of $125,000,000 in four American cities, said last week on his return from Europe, "Some Americans do not realize what it means to do business in fotty-eieht ereat States, with the same money, laws, credit and' language everywhere. "When I was last in Cairo I saw big wagons of Paris Bon Marche going through the streets. I looked up the head of their Egyptian branch and found that they had come three thousand miles from Paris to do a business of $l.,000,000 a year. A success ful American business man would n't go 100 miles for that much business. "I traveled back to London with an Englishman managing six British houses in Cairo and other Eastern points, involved in revo lutions, different laws and cur rencies. "Here an American can operate in forty-eight States, one of them, Texas, as big as several European countries, and everywhere the same money, laws, languages, bus iness methods, sound credit. We should be very grateful. Political indications are that there will be a number of wet can- didates with nothing to sit on but dry planks in 1928. Cuba does not forget to re member $6,000 a year pension to the widow of Major General Leon ard Wood who ruled them so in telligently, 1899 to 1902. Don't believe everything you hear except the whistle of a lo comotive at a grade crossing. Without, any authentic statis tics or census at hand we would say that the principal lines of bus mess in the United States at this time are beauty parlors and filling stations. TIMELY THOUGHT II Con Year's Ledger for Cause for Gratitude. By a careful and painstaking ap plication of those methods which huve been found to be best adapt ed to the particular needs of the enterprise concerned, an annual ap praisal or Inventory of both assets and liabilities is made by every properly conducted business. Ac count is taken of all tangible and Intangible resources. Including stocks, accounts and bills recelv able, and of what Is written down In the ledger as good will. The occasion Is not one observed mere ly as an opportunity for uirvey- lug what has been accomplished during the year just passed, or dur ing many years of varying suc cesses and disappointments, but more specially for the, purpose of shaping the policies and activities to be followed and pursued In the Immediate future. The wise and prudent Individual who realizes the Importance of look ing carefully to the management and conduct of his affalri knows from day to day the apprctimate value of his tangible assets. But perhaps he does not as continually keep before himself the realization of the true value of that protec tion which Is vouchsafed by what, despite all that may be said or charged to the contrary. Is a com mon regard for and obedience to that higher law which conscience and true brotherhood dictate. Per haps he Is prone also to forget that nraong these more or less Intangi ble assets there may be found Intangible but binding liabilities In the form of due bills payable In kind. There is an Inescapable obli gation for this service rendered, based upon the binding considera tion of "value recelv. ," though that has not been formally oi le gally expressed In the eontinct. Blessings Taken for Granted, It Is well, therefore, that all of u.i, no matter what our station or occupation, at this season set apart for national thanksgiving, while ex pressing appreciation for .mind ful temporal blessings bestowed, pause while thought Is gffvn to what might be the condition. Indi vidually and nationally, were we deprived of the continuing assur ance of that' benign protection the source of which we seen? some times to forget. From year to year we read the profo : d an nouncement that during the twelve months past the American nation has been the grateful recipient of a bounty liberally bestowed. The form, though not the words, has become almost stereotyped. The people f the United States would regard with amazement a state ment to the effect that for gome unexpected reason the full measure of their blessings had not been forthcoming. They could not easily be convinced that while they are prepared to observe Thanksgiv ing day and once a year acknowl edge their gratitude, at least su perficially, they have not paid their obligation In full. Balance Private Ledgers. The truly receptive attitude of a people or a nation Is determined by Its attitude of thought. It has been truthfully observed that It Is only by giving that room Is made for that which we desire and which we should receive. This Is us true In the realm of government under a social democracy as In In dividual affairs. Standards which have been established and which are accounted desirable can be maintained and protected only as they are fostered and supported by an overwhelming weight of populnr thought and sentlmen All loyal and patriotic citizens profess, while giving thanks for material bless ings received, to be thankfi that their lot has been cast among a law-abiding and Justl.-e-lovlng peo ple. On this day of annual thanks giving, as we take account of all that has been bestowed. It would be well for all alike to examine our own private ledgers to dis cover just how much, In cheerful obedience to the rules and stand ards which we .have voluntarily set up, has been ungrudgingly given to our own and our neighbors' cause Christian Science Monitor Ain't It True?
