We wish the people of Tillamook
County a happy New Year, with the
hope that they will be prosperous in
all their undertakings and industrial
efforts.

for that reason we believe it would
be a good plan for each county in
Oregon to have a county organlza-
tion to handle this > matter, Most
of our citizens cheered, and were
proud of our young men when they
left their homes and the county for
active service, and it behooves us all
to show our appreciation of their
services when they return to the
county. We can do this by giving
them the giad hand and finding work

that it would be a good investment
for the county to own and operate
its own hard surface plant, provided
a competent person was put in
charge. Clackamas county is doing
so with good results, and we see no
reason why Tillamook county cannot
do the same. These are some few
points that must be considered in
discussing the good roads movement,
and with all sections of the county
united in boosting for the victory­
highway through the county, we feel
sure we have citizens of business
ability who can work out a definite
plan that will be a great benefit to
the county and will not burden the
taApayers. What should be avoided,
if possible, is increase in taxation.
