THE ONLY STATE ISSUE o npIIK MAILTiniH'NK lias taken little interest in the JL iriinnry elertimi. as im vital issue lias been involved, and it is merely a choice of personality. The candidates all promise the same liefore election, and upon personality depends performance. The people of Oregon do not like machine government. Mpcanse of machine dictation, they smashed the republican machine and elected a democrat governor. The effort now being made to rebuild the republican machine is therefore of interest to all the people. It is the only state issue. The efforts of the (J. 0. 1 machine are centered upon the defeat of Hen Olcott as secretary of state and the election of the reactionary secretary of the state organiza tion, an important machine cog, in his place. The only charge against Mr. Olcott is that he has refused to obey the mandates of the governor when they were against his host judgment. .For this independence, the entire energies of the machine, the state officials, the party reactionaries and the partisan press are centered. It is the man vs. the ma chine. Kvon his woi-st enemies admit that Air. Olcott-is the most efficient secretary of state in the commonwealth's history. In ovi'vy way he has made good. His business judgment is excellent, his office is systematized and up-to-date, and on the board of control he has voted as his conscience dictates. This, and the fact that he belongs to I the progressive wing of the ary, constitute his ollense. Air. Olcott, in briel. tuts re fused to make room for the liungrv hangers-on of politics and insisted upon employes lending to work instead of playing politics. Aw the republicans of Oregon ready for a return to machine government I If they are not, they will votu for Olcott. Machine government means another democratic governor. THE FEDERAL AMICASriJK that should command the full support of the people of Oregon is the l.aukhead good roads bill, which passed the senate and is now pending in the house, where it was introduced as the Shackleford bill. The bill appropriates .,()()(),())() to be spent in 1!)I7, $(),()(IU,(l()) in liHS, $1.-,(l()0,(l)(i in 101!), U(),()(M),()()() in 10120, and 2r,()0(),()()0 in l!)21 of federal moneys in the con st ruction and improvement of public highways in co-operation with states through their various highways depart ments. The money is to be distributed among the states in pro portion to the slate's rating, one-third in ratio of the stale's area, one-thin! in ratio of population and one-third in ratio which the mileage of rural delivery and star routes in each state I teal's to the total mileage of all stales. Projected road improvements umst first be submitted by the states to the secretary of agriculture for approval, and all work must be done under supervision of the sta'e's highway de partment. There is also appropriated $1,000.1)00 a year $10,000, 000 in all - to Im- expended under the supervision of the secretary of agriculture, for roads and trails within or only partly within the national forests, in co-operation with state and county, the aggregate expenditures not to exceed 10 iercent of the value of the timber and forage resources within tht unties, the expenditure to be reimbursed from the receipts of the national forest. Il is under this hitler provision that the Crater Lake highway and similar roads will be improved. The measure should receive the hearty indorsement of every one in Jackson county and public officials, commer cial bodies and individuals should at once write to the Oregon delegation in the house to do their utmost to secure its passage.

It seems to mo that If tht' party In office b efficient work linn ertabllslied a stem that does the work at a less rate per cent, ho ahoulil ho entitled to an advance. In other words, tho county should adopt the merit system the same ax any busl ess man would. Mr. Orleve has been asKeMsor for this county for two terms, and by hard work has broiiKbt up the Itlock System so that now no property escapes asseaxment, and vr seldom Is any double assessed. 11 has now a very complete set of pres ent ownership books nnd plats to that anv tax paver can (heck up bin in.. erty and see that It Is properl.
