Acting on tho suggestion of a imnred correspondent who suggests that wo mako this column stand for something of civic betterment wo bog leavo to submit our platform. During tho coming year wo hope to seo to It that the following great re forms are accomplished In Medferd: Wo demand That the old cloth rag that onco announced Cuthberfs closing out sale be removed from the building nt Sixth and Central. That tho Emporium sign be re moved from Main street. That the price of a certain hover idge bo, reduced from ten cents to flvo cents. That infants coaso driving automo biles. Thero nro several other plnnks wo could add but what's tho uso of ask ing too much at onco? When wo start in on national re forms wo will ask tho makers of moving pictures to request escaping heroes not to stop, when time is pro clous, to muko heroic faces and ges tures at tho camora.

UlIRMlitfiffil KV JfvAiff J? mm GOOD ROADS ITK legislative mountain forth n trood roads mouse even of a road animal of these limited dimensions. The good roads program of the legislature is praetieallx Completed. It consists of an enabling net putting into effect the constitutional amendment permitting counMes to incur indebtedness up to two per cent of assessed val uation, for the purpose of building highways, and a state aid bill whereby a fund for state aided roads and super vision of a state highway engineer are provided. Other legislation covers minor matters, one of the bills enables road districts to combine for special road levies. It is greatly to be regretted that a large bond issue was not authorized, for a system of state trunk lines, which would have enabled the construction of important .high ways through the state in time for the Panama expo sitions. The actual cost to the taxpayer would be no greater than under the bills that have passed, a half mill levy caring for the interest on a ten million dollar bond issue. The county bonding bill provides a method whereby counties can build adequate highways by issuing bonds or warrants. If this system is good for the county, why is it not a. great deal better for the state? It is hard to under stand why the legislature has made no effort to pass such a measure why such, a bill was not even introduced. But then it is difficult to comprehend why it took ninety wise men the entire session to agree upon an enabling act. The state highway benefits the entire state and should lie paid for by it. The state aid bill provides for a state road board to consist of governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, with governor as chairman. This board appoints a state road engineer at $3600 yearly, who acts in a general or advisory capacity to county courts. The board lets con tracts to the lowest and best bidder for state roads and mav utilize the service of convicts. An annual road fund is created by a yearly levy of half a inilb and augmented by automobile licenses. The fund is thus apportiened: thirtv-three and one-third per cent for construction of state roads, and (G 2-'. per cent to be ap portioned among the different counties. The latter per cent shall be divided into thirds, one-third to be appor tioned among the counties equally, one-third in proportion to their respective areas, and the remaining third in pro portion to their respective assessed valuations. The total of the three sums shall constitute the apportionment of a county conditional on the county's raising an equal sum, the total to he expended wherever the county court de sires, under direction of the state. Unused apportions shall remain in the fund and be used for state roads only. It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out how much a county had coming under this law, and the same amount of money would take care of a large bond issue. Still we arc thankful for anything from an Oregon legislature. STATE PRINTING SITUATION. TIIE bill introduced by Representative Smith of Klam ath Falls, making the state printer a clerk at $2-100 a year whose duty it will be to prepare specifications and secure bids for all printing under direction of the state board, consisting of the governor, state treasurer and sec retary of state, is one of the before the legislature. In contemplates the letting oL state Xirhiting under competitive and takes the state out or. the printing husmess. For mairy sessions, the state printer's office has been the scandal of the capitol. protected xne graic anu important legislation was matte to depend upon protection of the office. At the present session, the chairmen of the wavs and means committees of both house and senate are or his business associates. The Smith bill will eliminate all this, ft will enable the state to save money, starting with $20,000 appropriat ed to buy n plant January 1, 19.15. The state will get lower prices for printing than it could possibly under the present system, or under a state owned plant. It will cut down the amount ol) printing, which js now padded nifyond all reason. It cuts the salaries provided $1200 a year from those now paid. The Smith bill was drafted by former Senator S. C. Beach, a practical printer, and has the approval of the governor. The house steam-roller, however, has sterilized the measure by changing the date of its going into effect from Dec. lu, 3914 to May 15, 1915. This permits the pres ent printer and present system to hold-over for the print ing graft of another legislative session, in which it is hoped to get through legislation modifying or repealing the bill and keeping the gratt FIVE ACRE TRACT SOLD Two sales of acreage- In tho Oak dale Park Addition during tho past week will mean tho removal of many now families hero this spring.
