THE state grange, whoso membership is principally
composed of Willamette valley mossbacks, is, for
some unknown reason, opposed to good roads, just as it is
opposed to the state university and to normal schools and
to progressiveness generally. The grange represents the
old Orcgoiuspirit, which has retarded the growth and prog
ress of the state so manv years.
The grange has introduced bills in the legislature de
signed to block the bills introduced by tho State (lood
Roads association, or to so modify them that they will
mean nolhinir. They would make the state engineer the
state highway commissioner, instead of an expert road
builder as contemplated, and would restrict the power of
tho county courts to prevent them ii'om designating whore
roads shall bo built, substituting construction only on pe
tition.
The effect of these amendments would be to prevent
any uniform system of construction, to permit tho building
ol any sort ol a highway, and to substitute thirty-six va
rieties of highway ior one approved system. .It would
leave road building as it is at present happv-go-lucky
methods, and work no material benefit to the counties or
state.
It is to be hoped that tho grange meets defeat in its
reactionary program, as it did in its opposition to theslalo
university.

J I' tho county voted a million-dollar bond issue at (J per
cent the annual expenditure would be but $(50,000, and
we would have the roads to enjoy, instead of constructing
them m piecemeal fashion.
The taxation would be loss, and the count'' have some
thing to show for its money. Instead of ton years' wait
to spend the million dollars in unscientific fashion, it would
he spent scientifically in one year, or two, and everyone
reap the benefits.
The valuation of property would be increased, the mar
keting of products be made easier, farming be made attrac
tive, and countless benefits follow.
No city could pave its streets, if it were not for the
bonding system. No county can construct its highways
without similar bonding issues.
The sooner Jackson county votes bonds for highways
the better for everyone in it.

the salaries of officials and' providing for the appointment
of deputies nnd payment of their salaries.
. ,Undor,p;us.ting conditions, special act, of the legislature'
is necessary lor readjustment ol county ollicers to suit
conditions. M a county doubles in population, no pro
vision is made for the increased work ant responsibility
of the official and a special bill must ho lobbied and log
rolled through the legislature to secure needed change.
The federal census of 1911 and the assessed valuation
too, made the basis of classification, and the county as
sessors' enumeration thereafter every five years and the
'federal census alternately afterwards.
Counties having a population of from (i(),00() to 75,000,
or an assessed valuation of 70.000.000. are made first
uihiss, and the other classes range downward to the fif
t&Vulh clnss,jomprising counties with loss than 2500 pop
uTafion or assessed valuation of $:i,7P0,000.
.Multnomah is excluded from the provisions of the bill.
jiO count ies of the state fall under the first and second
class, but several soon will. By classification of tho bill
Marion, Lane and Umatilla counties rank in the third class;
Jackson, Clackamas, Douglas, .Linn and Washington in
the fourth; Dakor, Clatsop, Coos, Union, Wasco nnd Yam
hill in the fifth; I'olk in the sixth; Iionfon nnd Columbia
in the seventh; Crook, Hood Uivor, .Josephine, Klamath.1
Malheur, Tillamook nnd Wnllown in tho eighth; Morrow
m the ninth; (iillinm, (irnnt, Lincoln nnd Shermnn in the
tenth, mid Harney tind I nko in the eleventh; none falls in
the twelfth or thirtcoth class; Wheeler in the fourteenth
and Currv in the fifteenth. !
