Campaign Is Blossoming
Verily the gubernatorial campaign
is blossoming out and there are whis
perings of more announcements in a
short time and combinations are
darkly hinted, but what the combin
ations are or may he no one Intimates.
Governor Olcott will be a candi
date. He has been in no haste to
make formal announcement, but it Is
understood that he has been prepar
ing his platform and will be ready to
make a public statement at an early
date.
Having seen his boom hanging fire
for several months, Mayor Gates de
clared yesterday that he is going to
settle the matter'oue way or another
before he leaves for home. There lb

Medford Tuesday, and if "Pop'
Gates is to be a candidate he wants
to gel whatever benefit may accrue
from the meeting, for it will give the
sportsmen a chance to gei behind a
favorite son.

by the way, will net be far off when
the Medford meeting is held. In fact
Mr..Uean is heading now for Grants

speaking dates at those cities.

were committed. And for the fur
ther reason that a number of these
cases have not been brought to trial
and any comments by this jury might
have its effect on public opinion
which would be nnjpst.
In this investigation, tho grand
jury has endeavored to know no man, '
give every man bis due, whitewash-j
ing no one.
Wo concur in the bollef of tho
county court that Prosecuting Attor-I
ney Moore should have good out
side help in ' prosecuting the bank
cases and the liquor cases.
The grand jury also believes that
the county court did the right thing
when they took vigorous and contin
uous action to suppress the vice and
liquor ring.
The screens recommended for the
jail have not been installed. This
may appear of minor Importance If it
Is not known that the jailor's life is
constantly endangered under the
present conditions which permit dan
gerous weapons to be thrown Into the
jail from both sides of it. Tbo ex
pense involved is from one hundred
to two hundred dollars, the saving of
which endangers the jailor's life and
aids jail breaking.
The personal property taxes of
1920 have come in much better than
heretofore, ten per cent more hav
ing been paid before becoming; delin
quent than UK'ial. This is due to the
new system inaugurated by Assessor
Coleman,
The old long delinquent unsecured

OREGON has been slower
than almost any other state in
the Union to recognize the merits o(
CONCRETE pavement. But Oregon, now
building more highway pavement than
any other state of equal population, is
learning.
Neighboring states and the nation point
the way to paving value and satisfaction
by a constantly increasing use of
CONCRETE. Pacific Coast records for
1921 show 65 per cent CONCRETE; 35
Jier cent for all other types, divided as
ollows: Road program of California, 75
per cent CONCRETE; of Oregon, 25 per
cent CONCRETE; Washington, 100 per
cent CONCRETE. Cities of California
used 48 percent CONCRETE; of Oregon,
51 per cent, and Washington 79 per
cent CONCRETE, as against tall other
types of pavement combined.
In the United States as a whole for 1921 over
' 62,000,000 square yards of CONCRETE highwaya were
built -a record unequalled In the history f paving.
