What are the needs of the
county ? Better roads and more
of them.
Netarts.
So do we.
As the
Bayocean people and others in
that vicinity have guaranteed
to shoulder more than half the
expense for building a road, it
might tie well for the property
owners at Netarts to put their
shoulder to the wheel and help
out with about $S,000 and not
expect the county to pungle up
every cent. Money talks, and
talks loud, when property own
ers are willing to put up dollar
for dollar with the county. This
should not be expected of pro
perty owners who have paid
taxes for a number of years and
have no road, but this appears
to be the only way of pushing
things ahead.

months, before any considera
ble money is available for road
work, with no assurance what
ever that these necessary im
provements will tie undertaken
then or even considered. But
this is the condition of affairs
some of our citizens, who have
good roads themselves, want to
insist upon in this county. As
we have previously stated, we
are not in favor of bonding the
county for road improvements
when a ten mill tax for the next
few years will come near ful
filling the needed requirements
of the county. This is what we
call a conservative, middle of
the road, yet progressive course
to follow, which does not go to
the extreme on one hard of clos
ing down road work for eighteen
months nor going to the other
extreme of bonding the county
for a large amount of money. It
can be taken for granted that
the sentiment in favor of bond
ing the county is much stronger
since the meeting at Fairview
last week, for having all the
good roads needed in that vici
nity, the south and north ends
and other parts of the county
cannot have much road impove-
ments, and rather than suffer
this injustice at the hands of
those who have forgetten the
golden rule, they will vote for
a bond issue for relief and re
dress.
From now on we ex
pect to see many persons line
up with those who favor bond
ing the county since it is pro
posed to stop road work for
eighteen months, and it would
not surprise us much, with the
assurance of the Nehalem coun
try and the south part of the
county were to receive imtne-
liate relief, with a strong vote
from the incorporated cities,
that a bond issue election would
carry in Tillamook county the
same way and for the same rea
son it did in Jackson county.
Those who attempt to retard
the progress of the county after
they have obtained all the good
roads they need for themselves
will not succeed.
People will
not stand for that kind of in
justice. After considering the
needs of road improvements in
all parts of the county we still
contend that n ten mill road
levy is the most just and equit
ably policy, and far more sensi
ble than closing down on road
for eighteen months or go
to the other extreme and bond
the countv for $1,000,000 or $1,-
500,000.

Automobile.
The automobile is somewhat more
than a luxury for Farmer P. D. [
Friesen and his family, whose farm I
is two miles from Inman, says the,
Topeka Daily Capital. Early in the '
morning the auto takes him to the
farm, und sharp at noon he and
the hired man come rolling in for
dinner and to spend the noon rest
period. The big jobs, especially !
plowing,
are done with steam
power, so thut one hired man is
sufficient most of th- year.
Fred W. Haines, an official of a
prominent Chicago automobile com
pany, has the following to say re
garding the increased popularity of
motorcars among farmers :
" It now seems that the American
fanner is finally awakened to the
possibilities and utilities of the
modern motor car in his everyday
plan of modern furin conduction.
This has been by no means » rapid
evolution, for the horse-drawn car
riage put up a powerful fight before
it finally stepped down and gave
way to the modern automobile. The
farmer has always been slow to take
up with every new idea that came
along—and wisely.
*' Hi» native shrewdness is a
formidable armor against gold brick
schemes and untried projects. Not
until after years of ceaseless de-
monstration and actual perform
ance of car after car over the rough
est of roads, the deepest of mud
and the most pitiless conditions of
weather and grade has he finally
acknowledged the supremacy of the
motor car in his own field of en-
deavor. He knows that it* means
time and energy saved.
