JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
EVKK.y part of Oregon will grow some kind oC n crop at
a profit to the grower. No mutter how hmh tlio plniii,
how slight the rainfall, how scanty and thin the soil, there'
is growing some where upon the earth's surface, under
similar conditions, plants which flourish. It is Oregon's'
problem to find these plants and to grow them. j
The great trouble with Oregon has been the failure to
apply scientific knowledge and modern methods to ag
riculture. Iftirmcrs have- insisted upon methods and crops
success! ul in wet countries and those of average rainfall
for arid prairies and elevated plateous. Methods used I
successfully at sea level are applied to regions of tour or(
five thousand feet elevation. Attempts are persistently!
made to grow crops unfitted for conditions.
.New methods must be practiced to suit environments!
before success will crown the efforts of the grower and
render returns a certainty. To learn these methods and
to ascertain these crops is the great Oregon problem.
The people that are now flocking into Oregon, parti
cularly into Central Oregon, are wideawake, aggressive
and progressive. They are willing to adopt the most mod
ern and improved methods. All they want is instruction
in what methods and crops are needed. The furnishing
of this information is the real development of Oregon.

AFTER, matured deliberation shopmen of the Harrinian
lines are out on strike: The principal grievance
seems to be the refusal of the railway chiefs to recognize
the new system federation of the labor leaders.
The public of course will be the chief sufferer by the
strike. It is between two contending forces, and when
I ramie fails to move, the public, rather 'than the railroad,
is the chief loser but neither side is the least concerned
about the public.
It would seem that the labor chiefs have used very poor
judgment in bringing about a strike at this time. A hard
winter is ahead, work is not overpleiitiful, there are a cou
ple of men for every job, and wages are going down rather
than up. While times the country over are not hard, they
are dull, and far from booming.

JOSEPHINE MAY
BOND FOR ROADS
m
fci i
' '
Movement Launclied to Have Nclgh
i '.if'
uorinn County Cunstruct Modem
Highway from Grants Pass to the
Del Norte Line
(Portland Journal.)
Jackson county has given a re
markable Illustration of public in
terest In good roads. Tho bond Is-
suo of $1,500,000 was approved by
tho county electorate by a majority
of 1G50 votes.
1 1t is a splendid manifestation or
public spirit. If half a million dol
lars had been voted. It would havo
been a strong demonstration of good
roads enthusiasm. A voto of a mil
lion would have been an issue beforo
which much larger Oregon counties
would havo hesitated. The fact that
tho figures arc $1,500,000, and that
the majority is so largo are big facts
iu contemplation of tho electorate's
action.
At $3000 per mile, the sum is suf
ficient to build 200 miles of first
class' road. The last ccn3U3 gives
tlio population of tho county as 25,
75C. Tho taxr.blc property In 1910
was $24,290,904. Tho population,
tho property valuation and the bond
Issue cr road purposes arc testimon
ial lo the Jnclson county Biirltaraiid
cvldcnco of a strong public senti
ment for local progress.
The vote will bring to an issue the
question of whether the road bond
ing amendment to tho constitution
is self-acting. If opposing citizens of
Jackson county uo not tent tho valid
ity of tho Isiuo, tho bond buyers will,
and wu shall soon know tho status of
the case. Jackson county authori
ties have strong assurance that the
bonds will be hold valid under the
constitutional amendment.
Those in authority In tho county
will doubtless tnko caro to get $1
worth of good roads for each 100
cents opened. Los Angeles failed
to do that and is now paying tho pen
alty in costly repairs for new high
ways, charges of officials, negligence
and discriminations and recrimina
tions. Jackson county, as tho acknowl
edged leader of the good rendu move
ment In Oregon, and as leader In
many other things should avoid such
an outcome. Such an avoidance will
bo helpful to road sent'tnent nnd
road builders In other parts of the
stnto.

(Tho Orcgonlan.) '
Jackson county has pointed tlio
way to other counties In the good
roads movement. While tho gover
nor and the legislature havo been ar
guing about ? now road law and the
conditions under which an extra ses
sion should bo called to pass It,
Jackson 'county has gouo ahead to
make the best of tho present law and
by a majority of moro than two to
ono has voted $1,500,000 In bonds to
begin tho work.
The voto by precincts Is signifi
cant of tho condition of public opin
ion of good roads. Tho largest ma
jorities arc In tho largest centers of
population, Medford loading tho way
with a majority of 1378 out of a
total of 1G38, Jacksonville following
with 191 to 31, and so on. Ashland
was tho only largo town opposing tho
bonds, tho anti-bond prccclncts being
mostly small rural sottlemcntB. Good
roads will chiefly benefit tho rural
districts, but tho demand for thorn Is
most vociferous In tho tovns.
""yVW expenditure of 'tho money will
havo much to do with tho spread
of tho county bonding movement.
Jackson county will need expert en
gineering skill to doV.'so a goncral
system of roads, to select the best
materials and supcrvlso construction
Kvery locality will pull for roads for
Itself to bo built first, but tho coun
ty should not allow politics or local
considerations to prevent ad he retire
to a plan which will open up every
section with duo regard to its Iru
portanco nnd make tho main roads
connect with those of adjoining
counties, thus creating a network to
coyer the state.
Other counties should follow the
example inako tho best of tho
good roads under it. All should con-
tlnuo to work for a better law, but
not wait until It comes. If wo go
ahead now and show what can bo
done nnd how good nro tho results,
wo shall win over many of tho actlvo
or passlvo opponents of tho mov
incnt and shall gain experience which
will be valuable in drafting a now
law.
