THE DAILY CAPITATi JCUENAL Ia the only newspaper In Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations WHERE WILL THE ROAD MONEY GO? . The proposed $10,000,000 road bond program is brief ly as lollows: . The money raised from sale of bonds is to be aug mented by tne government until it is estimated that a total sum of $16,000,000 will be available for-road construction, The ten million bond issue is to be taken care of by vir tually doubling ,the automobile tax, and by a tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline and half a cent a gallon on dis tillate. Of this $16,000,000 road fund $7,500,000 is roughly -estimated to be necessary to complete the pavement of the Columbia river highway and the Paciiic highway from Portland down both sides of the river as far as Junction City, and from that point on down to the Cal ifornia line. The remaining $8,500,000 is to be expended upon lateral roads or secondary highways to be selected by the state highway commission. This is one point where every member of the legis lature should demand a show-down. They ought to know where this money is to be expended in road-building, be fore they vote to exhaust , the entire bonding resources of the state to provide a road-building fund. The neces sity for knowing about this is emphasized by the demand of Portland boosters that the Mount Hood loop be placed on the program as one of the roads to be constructed and paved , Now the Capital Journal has often expressed confi dence in the personnel of j:he state highway commission. It has not changed that view, but these men may find Portland influence for the big city is now in complete political control of the state too strong to resist. Take the $6,000,000 bond issue of two years ago; the lion's share has gone to the Columbia river highway which is a Port land tourist road and millions more of the next issue will go the same way. Marion county, for instance will re ceive about $120,000 of state money out of this $6,000,000 fund when the Salem-Aurora road is paved this year, the the remainder of contract price coming from the govern ment funds. Of course, Marlon county voted against the road bond issue, but it is the second largest county in the state with the second largest number of automobiles in the state, and these automobiles are taking care of the interest and are expected to repay the principal some time. Naturally Marion county should have received more than $120,000 out of $6,000,000, but the fact is only men tioned to show the danger of allowing Portland to dictate the expenditure of the bond money on purely tourist roads. Other counties fared even worse than Marion. The commission may try to play fair but the least it can do is to throw out some big sops to the Portland crowd, even if it does not grant all that is asked for the city's scenic system of highways. Worst of all there is no assurance that the present highway commission will serve until the entire $16,000, 000 is expended. As a matter of fact one member is serv ing very strongly against his personal inclination. Mem bers may resign, or die or fan" to be re-appointed by the governor, so that the present personnel of the commission can be regarded as anything but a permanent safeguard guaranteeing the proper expenditure of the millions en trusted to the commission for the building of good- roads where there is the greatest need for them. The roads that Oregon wants are those which will as sist in the business of the state and the development of the country. Many of these roads are needed in both eastern and western Oregon. We can get along without the tourist roads like the Mount Hood loop, and we need the money too badly elsewhere to spend large amounts of the money realized from bond sales upon it. If we are to go into this great road-building expendi ture the members of the legislature owe it to their con stituents to find out before they provide the money where it is to be spent. A general road system should be map ped out and adopted and it should be enacted into law so that the commission will be bound by it. These roads should be located where they will benefit the people who live in the state instead of those who drive into or through it on pleasure tours. The disquieting rumor is prevalent again that the boats may be taken off the river, because the peo pie operating them are short of capital This should be prevented if possible, and it ought to be possible if a guar antee of business will keep the line open. Salem and the other towns along the river need the boats and need them badly..

There is a bill before the senate to appropriate $40,- 000 for additional land around the state prison. Whether it is proposed to lay out golf links or poto grounds for the use of the convicts the bill does not explain. If it is possible to talk anything to death the paving trust might just as well be measured for its casket.

Old Booze is dead, so toll the knell for this old maudlin knave; the mourners raise a joyful yell as they stand by the grave. Old Booze hung on with teeth and nails, he tried to dodge the tomb; he hoped to sell his gins, and ales nutil the crack of doom. He hoped to do his ancient task till Father Time is gone? but we've outgrown the jug and flask, outgrown the demijohn. Old Booze is dead, at rest he lies, cashed in beyond recall; he never helped a man to rise, but made a million fall. Old Booze will sleep beneath the loam until the bright sun pales; he never built a toil er's home, but he filled many jails. Old Booze has cross ed the great divide to see what's doing there; and we'll have less of suicide, and less of black despair. And we'll see less of woman's tears, of children needing bread, of wages gone for foaming beers, since Old Man Booze is dead. He'll dish no more the poison drink to knock the good man down" ; his funeral would make you think a circus is in town.

I wttiitinl desperately to go to tno sta tion to meet Moil, that lovely May day when he was to arrive, but he hsd said nothing of my doing so in his lottor, so I remained at home, anxiously watch ing from the window, shaded, by the curtains. My heart almost literally leaped into my mouth when I saw hiu swing ur tho street, darrying his big suit case as if it weighed no more than a feathor. Neil was very strong, he ha-d gone in for athletics in college, and" had been very proud of his record. lie turned into his aunt's gato, and my heart went back where it belonged again. But in less than fifteen minutes he was with me. "How do you do, Bub! " was what hi said, but the way ho held both my "Miles ahead, Bab. I don't believe there ig another girl in the world just like you. Ifou are very protty too. Bab, Did you know that f VM course you did, you have a mirror. And Bab! you look very sweet in that pale bluo dress: it is like a faint moonbeam, in this kali tight.1 We talked a lob mora nonsense, at least Neil did. I mostly listened. Then when he left me for the sight he leaned over and kissed me onco again on my cheek. Just, a quick brushing of hia lips across my face. " You're a. dear, Bab!" he said and then I was alono. But someway I knew that Neil was beginning to love me. I felt no shame over that kiss as I hnl over the other. lie had said loving thiiigs to mo before ho kissed mo. I thrilled all over with hands, tho glad kiok in his eyes, nuido the knowledge, and before I went to it adequate. Mother wag with us, or l thought ho porhaps might have kissed m. Ho was to remain less than a week. I almost cried when he told mo. But I was so happy that he was with me, that I determined to try and forgot how soon he would leave mo again. "You nee I had to come, Bab," he suid later in the ovening when we took a long walk, just the same, as wo did the summer befoje. "You bad to come," I repeated., wondering. g bed I kneeled down and thanked God for Neil. Tlio days passed so swiftly that the dny ho was to leave, found me all un prepared to lose him. He had been teni derly loveriiko all the time. I think mother say how things were drifting for she hie do no demands upon me, and I had been constantly- with Keil.
