What Other Editors Think Initiate R.apportionm.nt Initiate reapportionment of state senate, is proposal by Sena tor Joe E. Dunne in Vernonia Eagle. He says it is hopeless to try to get a just reapportionment through the senate. He also com mends ability and industry of Representative McGraw, first- termer from Columbia county, which commendation we unre servedly endorse, as we observed McGraw closely and found him extraordinarily effective and in fluential for a new member. —Oregon Voter. AFTER THE MONEY Our St. Helens friends (the Mist and the Informant) already have a place for the money which was laid aside for the Apiary- Vernonia market road. They want to pave the road from St. Hel ens to Yankton—a very laudible ambition to be sure. But— How would St. Helens feel if they had waited on to 10 years for a market road, paid taxes all these years to help build the other fellow’s road, only to find that they were to be left out in the cold—as usual. Now, it is not NECESSARY to spend this money at all, not at •11. Why not keep the money intact where it ia and use it for repairs on th« market roads we now have so that it will not be necessary to make a levy for market road purposes. As it was apparently too great a burden for the taxpayers to build the Apiary-Vernonia mar ket road, is it not also too great a burden for the taxpayers to pave the road from St. Helens to Yankton, or is it a case of sauce for the goose not being sauce for the gander? Gentlemen of the county court, in all sincerity, we are suggesting the above seriously, not sarcasti cally. Save this market road money, make no levy for market road purposes the coming year and live up to the idea advan ced in opposition to the comple tion of the Apiary-Vernonia road, namely—too hard on the taxpay- THE FEATHERHEADS DAD’S SANDWICH SHOP Phone Hospital 931 Town Office 891 Delicious Chile and Sand wiches—Also Roasts and Short Orders CARD ROOM DR.

The other hires a clever at torney, secures selfish bondsmen, and shortly goes his own way without let or hindrance. In some cases, perhaps, the experience has sobered him so that he never repeats it; whether it does or not it certainly encourages the next man to think that he, too, can get away with it.
