LO
. ROAD TAX VALID
An opinion by Attorney General
Crawford in rcjjnrd lo the. new ronl
tnx law passed by the. recent legis
lature, and which will effect the
stand taken by tho Weyerhanscr
timber interests, has been mado pub
lie, in which the attorney general de
clares tho law, to bo valid.
ltccently tho timber men stated
that they would refuse to pay the
ppccinl road levy voted hy the tax
payors in several road districts of
the county, feinting thai the levy wa
illegal.
The new bill had n checkered ca
reer in the house. Its purpo0 wa
to amend n section of the code pvius
road districts tho power to levy sne
ninl taxes for tho buildim; of roads,
and which had been declared uncon
stitutional for n number of reason",
among other, that it did not defin
itely outline the procedure, to be fol
lowed in posting the election notices.
Members of the house opposed it on
tho ground that it would bo uncon
stutional in that it nought to vali
date assessments made under tho
section of the code which the su
preme court had held to be nncon
stutioual. The attorney general takes
n contrary view, and says:
''Section 3 is an emergency clause
putting the net into i turned into fore 4
and effect. Therefore, tho net Li in
effect at tho present time, nud the
effect to the curative part of the act
is to validate all road taxes now
lovied nnd collectible providing the
act itself is constitutional The
rule in such cases is that tho legis
lature has the iower to validate any
net or nmtsfcion which it might have
dispensed with in the finit place, and
the want of notice nnd like provi
sions could linvtf been dispensed with
bv the legislature in the first place
and it deemed it wio so to do; in
other words, the legislature could
clothe tho county court with power to
levy special road taxes up to n, cer
tain amount without notice. Then,
fore, I am of the opinion that the
curative act is constutional, nnd that
nil road taxes are collectible."

EVERY timo you send away for a mail order depart
inont store bargain, you aro encouraging white slav
cry and helping send some soul to hell.
The economies you reap tho benefit of, the few cents
you may save by your thrift, come out of the wages of
some fragile girl trying to earn a living, and help send
her downwards.
One of the millionaire mail, order chiefs asserted at
the, Illinois investigation now under way that $7.25 a week
was sufficient to keep any woman, lie divided tho ex
penditures as follews:
Clothes $.1, laundry 25 cents, ear fare (JO cents, lunches
70 cents, church 10 cents, sickness 00 cents, board and
room ft total $7.2u,
This schedule is for bare necessities of life pretty
bare at that. A girl would have to have the thrift of a
rtusscl Sage to exist on this wage. She cannot afford
oven the luxury of a nicktcodoon, a sack of peanuts or a
package of chawing gum. "What happens to her if she
is sick for a week or two? That millionaire female slave
driver ought to bo made to live on $7.2f a week himself
there would be danger to his belly but not his soul he
hasn't any.
Evidence gathered by Lieutenant Governor O'llara
shows that there are o0,000 women and girls working in
Chicago for less than sfo a week and yet these mail order
and department store Jews say there is no connection
between poverty and resultant immortality! They would
maintain conditions that make them millions.
Tho same conditions exist in a less degree, in Portland
in every oity where -bargain counter economies tire
secured through mulcting employes. Thousands upon
thousands of women underpaid, underfed, surrounded by
temptation. is it any wonder immortality, with its
tinsel splendor, prospers?
AVhy spend millions trying to remedy the result when
tho cause is left severely alone? AVhy all the efforts to
redeem the fallen and at the same tinic keep factories of
immortality in operation? Why persecute the scarlet
woman and honor with riches and position the overlord
creating her?
The white slave law should be extended to include
the slave creator as well as the slave dealer for the
wholesale soul destroyer, even though working indirectly,
is as responsible and profits as much from the traffic as
the retailer who handles his finished product.
Your local merchant perhaps cannot give you as many
bargains as the jnaii order slave-driver and soul smasher,
for he has to pay living wages to his employes. He has
moreover, to pay taxes and improvements, to help build
up the town and indirectly add to your own prosperity
which must rest on the prosperity of the community.
Remember, next time you send away to a mail order
house for something you can buy at home, you are not
only sending out of the country money that will never
come, back, but contributing your mite to the prosperity
'of tho white slave traffic aud the misery of humanitv.

The Best Thing Out
SIILAND wants a new road over the Siskiyous to
eliminate tho present toll road and provide a better
grade. It also wants the Green Spring Mountain road
aiid the Dead Indian road improved.
These improvements will cost many thousands of
dollars. Yet Ashland does not want to contribute a nickle
to the cost of these improvements. It would hog the
benefits without sharing in the expenditures.
The city of Ashland has served notice upon the county
court that it will resist in tho courts, payment of the three
mill general road tax levied upon all the property in the
county half of which is expeuded in the district contri
buting and half in the county generally.
Ashland's claim is based upon a technicality. It is
alleged that tho Ashland charter provides that the city
can dodge, the general road tax. Perhaps, that is for the
courts to decide but it is the spirit of the attempted
evasion that is remarkable.
This is the first time that a county court has mapped
out a comprehensive program of road improvement that
benefitted Ashland direetry and it is made the occasion
for Ashland's first refusal, to pay county road tax.
Under the initiative, every incorporated city can
amend its charter to dodge the road tax, if Ashland s con
tention is upheld. Yet it would be unjust in the extreme,
for the improvement of roads benefits the cities as much
as tho country and it would seriously cripple road construction.
If Ashland is not willing to stand its share in tho coun-
K'cial reason why the
loultl be expended lor
ty road improvement, there is no s
money from the rest of the county s
Ashland roads. Besides there will be little money to
spend and districts contributing are entitled to first consideration.
