HI 1 1, Adam. .Ni-wMiiaiur AerTtr NATIONAL GOOD ROADS DAY. IMAGINE ninety-one millions of people at work on the roads of the United States one whole day, the men and larger boys with picks and shovels, the women furnishing meals for the hungry hordes and the children pulling weeds and planting flowers, every team in the country hauling road material and ev ery piece of road-building material on the job simultaneously by evening what a transformation might be wrought and a half billion dollars' worth of work might be completed on the 2,300, 000 miles 2,000,000 of which are unimproved of the country. To round out a a day's work well done, suppose every school house, in city and country, every church,, every town hall and city building and every commercial club and woman's club in Ameri ca should hold meetings at one and the same hour to discuss and promote good roads. It is possible. !' When every good roads organization, every business man, ev vry club woman, every community club, every automobile associ iition, every grange and farmers' organization and every news paper will call upon President Wilson to issue a proclamation de claring n national good roads day a day when stores, offices, Kchools and factories will close and every citizen will be asked to upend ihe day on the highways, it is possible. We are in favor of Htarting right now and setting the date for the first great dem onstration this summer. Governors may follow the president with state proclamations and the people may do the best to arouse enthusiasm. The only thing impractical about it is that there may not be enough shovels and picks in existence to go n round. Such a day would be an expansion of the state good roads days observed by eight or nine states last year. Misosuri was first, then came Arkansas, followed by Texas, Nebraska, Aluba ma, Kentucky, South Carolinaand others. Two or throe slates have set dates for state days this year. Why not make just one big day of it all over the country? There is no question touching upon life in America so closely as this matter of good roads. It affects the high cost of living, by reducing the transportation costs. It affects the schools, the value of farm property. It brings rural and urban, districts together. It attracts trade. It spreads culture in the country and prosperity in the cities and adds happiness to both. HOW TO I'RKVKNT HIGH TAXES. Itr.IItt is a trood deal of hard sense in a recent editorial in the Medford Sun. It declaies that the greatest need of the times is efficiency in the public service, and this can only be secured through absolute non-partisanship on part of the voters. Here is the way that paper puts it : "High taxes that is excessive taxes mean just one thing inefficiency in the public servi.o. . "The way to prevent excessive taxes then is not to talk against them,. but to work against inefficient public officers. "There is no political issue in the state campaign, no political issue in the county campaign. The filing of candidates under this party banner and that is merely flub-dub. "What we need at Salem and Jacksonville are capable and expe rienced business men. Not dollar grabbers, but men of trained experience, ideas and ideals. Lapp &iBush, Bankers Transact a General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes Traveler's Cheiks "Whether a candidate files a3 Democrat, Republican, Progres sive or Independent matters not at all. Whether that man has the capacity for hard, accurate and enlightened work, whether in short he has a. past record which assures his making good, mat ters a great deal. "Critisizing public officials, complaining of political condi tions and then going to the polls and voting for a man because he is a good fellow or happens to wear your party hat-band js not the path to political betterment. "When the people in general spend less time throwing bricks at inefficient public officials and more time working for and voting for efficient men as publi c servants, economical and business-like administration of public affairs may be expected. SSL The Capital Journal will be glad at any time to print communi cations from its readers on subj ects of public interest. We must have, however, the real name of the author, and the articles should be short and to the point, and not inspired by personal malice. We want to make this paper a medium through which all who desire may have a voice in local and general affairs, re gardless of party or creed, and we trust that no one will attempt to abuse the privilege. , The Butte county, California, Democratic central committee has tabooed cigars and all kinds of chewing gum and candies in election campaigns, and has requested the Republican committee to take the same action. The only thing left in the way of cam paign bribes is to kiss the babies, and so long as the candidates are just males this is considered a negative quantity as well as quality. Government sharps have discovered that the red alder of the Siuslaw valley is an ideal wood for clothes pins. It is stated that there are twenty-five million feet of this timber available for this use. Just imagine the thrifty American housewives out on wash day with twenty-five m illion feet, board measure, of red alder clothes pins in their mouths.

Harry Lane always had the backbone to stand pat for what he thinks right and his judgment is generally go6d, too. Wallace McCammant, of Portland, attacking Wilson in a speech at Eugene, reminds one of a gnat on the back of an ele- j phant. If President Wilson should ever find it out, and could locate Wallace, with a microscope, he might swat him. Speaker Clark says it doesn't require as much sense to be pres ident as to be congressman. We have noticed that ex-presidents never care to be congressmen. King Leopold left a fortune estimated at $21,040,000. Since he was a mighty high roller in his day the pickings must have been very rich in Belgium. . All the newspapers of Oregon are profusely illustrated just now. The candidates are fur nishing the cuts, and paying the freight. ft IThc Latest New I York Models is stylish coats and suits is here. TANGO shades and the new American Blues.
