LAW IS EFFECTIVE
Attorney General Decides No Lcujs
Intivc Enniitinn Act Is Required If
Sustained It Will Mean Much to
, Counties.
ACCORDING o an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen-
ernl Crawford, nn enabling act in not necessary to
permit comities to issue bonds for road building purposes.
Prominent attorneys of Medford take tbe same view, and
the supreme court will be asked to pass upon the question.
Last November, the people, by a majority of 18,000,
adopted an amendment to the state constitution permitting
counties to contract indebtedness for permanent roads,
and this amendment, it is asserted, gives the counties au
thority necessary without a special enabling act. The
amendment reads as follews:
"Section 10, article XI No county shall create any
debts or liabilities which shall singly oV in the nirirroiratc
exceed (he sum of 0000, except to suppress insurrection
or repel invasion, or to build permanent roads within the
county, but debts for permanent roads shall be incurred
only on approval of a majority of those voting on the ques
tion." The proposed enabling act was butchered in the legis
lature and vetoed by the governor because of its weak
ness. .But if such an act is not Jiecessary, the situation is
much simplified.
Hood River county will proceed to issue bonds for road
building purposes and test the matter in the courts. Jack
son county should do the same, and not waste any more
time about it, either. The county court should act at once
and call an election for the purpose of voting upon the
bonds.
Last year, Jackson county spent $103,000 upon road
struction. This is six per cent upon $1,700,000. Ln
er words, the county could have spent this latter
amount through the sale of bonds, and the cash expendi
ture for interest been no larger the laxes no higher.

TRUSTS ABUSE OPPORTUNITY.
npllIO bitterness against trusts is due in no small degree
to the abuse of opportunity by the trusts.
The competitive system entails a waste of energy
which combination eliminates.
The cost of production and of marketing is materially
diminished by consolidation. Tlio trust is an economic
necessity in the evolution of civilization.
Carried to its logical conclusion, the trust means event
ually the abolition of the middleman the go-between who
produces nothing, but preys upon both producer and con
sumer,
Vet, in spite of the" saving to the producer made pos
sible in this era of trusts, the cost to the consumer has
.steadily increased. The trust, instead of being utilized to
lessen the cost to the consumer, has been used solely to
increase the cost to him, used merely as an instrument to
secure swollen profits upon inflated securities.
The Irust has had the advantage of improved equip
ment, of revolutionary processes, of new discoveries. Yet
each in turn, though cheapening the actual cost, has been
used but as a jimmy to hold up still further the producer.
Had the trust given the public the benefit of decreased
cost of production, instead of pocketing it as profit, there
would not now be the agitation against the trust that ren
ders it a questionable investment. If the profit of
monopoly was shared with the public, the people would
not be in arms against it.
Neither the oil trust, nor the steel tyust, nor any oilier
trust has permitted the public to share in the benefits
conferred upon the industrial world by the trust. I low,
then, can the trust expect a favorable verdict from the
court of last resort, the people I

THOSE CLERICAL ERRORS.
IT IS now stated that (lovernor West may have to call
the legislature in special session to repass appropria
tion bills on account of errors and omissions made by the
senate's clerical force.
II would be interesting to know just what was the mat
ter with that senate clerical force. Hints and rumors of
incompetency have been numerous before and since ad
journment. The governor was forced i return many bills, improp
erly engrossed or otherwise imperfect, during the ses
sion -through the fault of this clerical force. A crisis was
reached when the chief clerk of a former session was em
ployed at a salary of $2;") a day to supervise the work of the
present chief clerk, who also drew a fat salary.
Then the chief clerk, after adjournment, resorted to
the courts to prevent interference or assistance in writing
up the journal. Hills strangely missing, were found in
discarded rubbish. (c)ueer things happened in one way or
another, and now tha public is informed that roll-calls on
important measures have been lost or at least are miss
ing. The public should lie informed as to the real situation
attempts to conceal it tnl arouse suspicion.
