TILLAM OK HEADLIGHT JANUARY 16, 1919. Editorial Snap Shots One thing about the flu. The mar ried men are staying home at nights getting better acquainted with their wives. ------- o------- We must modify our opinion of bootleggers. Those who are rustling a little of the "critter" for flu pa tients are Good Sainaritians. ------- o------- Al) kinds of theories are being ad- vanced as to the origin of the flu plague. The latest is that it was caused by the poisonous gas used in the war. It is to be hoped that the south- west wind and rata .norm that struck the county this morning will have the effect of driving away the flu germs. ------ o------ Just hear them squeal. We mean the Germans when they read the terms of peace. And then keep close tab on pro-Germans and German sympathisers in the United States and in this neck of the woods, for you will hear them squeal also. — . o------ Abe Martin Interpreti the lut Elec tion. 8100.000 is to be expended on sur veying, grading and graveling the road. It is to the advantage of the State Highway Commission to have this road hardsurfaced, as well as to Tillamook County, for it will relieve the Commission of maintaining a ma cadam road, for it is one of the stip ulations with the County Court that the Commission assume the expense of the maintenance of the road.

We cannot see how the State Highway Commission can fail to ac cept the offer of the County Court. It looks as though government ownership of railroads is going to be come a political question of some im portance. It will be remembered that Bryan advocated government owner ship of railroads on returning from a European tour, and that seemed to cook his political goose. McAdoo is now advocating the same thing, but goes a little in advance of Bryan. He wants the government to appropriate 82,000,000,000 to help run the rail roads the next five years. If the peo ple have to dig up a lot of money, to help run the railroads, why can’t the government apropriate money and do the same thing for every public utility corporation? One thing is cer tain, railroad employees are in favor of government ownership, who hopo to maintain wartime wager under normal conditions. Secretary Baker says the navy is deficit 8270,400,000, and wants con gress to appropriate that amount of money to square the accounts to the end of last year.
