other spirits who are forced to become

THERE seems to be some misap-
u prehension on the part Of cer-
tain newspaper writer's as to the dut-
les Of the attorneys of the Legislature.
The disposition 60 charge an legisla-
tive shortcomings to the attorneys as
displayed BY the Morning News, fol-
sowilg the lead of Republican
Glasses" in the Sunday STAR shows an
ignorance OF the customs which OBJ
tain in the Legislature.
Tie attorneys have no duties to per-
form, save those which are imposed by
the legislature or its members. They
have no right to volunteer their advice
for to do so would subject them to a
charge Of impertinence. Their sole
duty is to scrutinize such bills as are
given to them and to give advice whens
ever it is asked.
To charge them with full RESPONSE
billty for unconstitutional acts or
amendments is 20 show either ignor-
ance or malice For II the scope Of
their powers were as broad as some
would make It appear then the mem-
bers had as wen so home and let the
attorneys run the legislature.
In regard TO the local option bill as
IL came to the hands OF the Governor
it appears that the attorneys were moi
consulted--at least not after the meas
ure left the House and the Senat,
amendments were added.
Now suppose one Of these critics had
been legislative attorney. what would
he have done? Would he have gone tc
the members and protested that the
act was unconstitutional OF would he
have waited until his opinion was ask
ed?
We have an idea that II the act Is
mutlated thus rendering it void, Il is
because a majority OF members wish.
ed to have it SO, and not because leg
islatiVe attorneys didn't do their duty

Editor Astorian.--A number of the
citizens Of Clatsop County have been ap'
pointed to attend the state Good Roads
Convention, about to be convened in the
state. II is necessary to do some hurrah
work to get people awakened sometimes
to their own interests,
There are few primary principles to
he observed in road building, First, low
grades. A power that can draw 1000
pounds on level road can draw but
four hundred pounds on a road which
rises ten feet in one hundred.
The roads out of Astoria are about
70 per cent, or twelve feet in one hun
dred. hence teamster who comes IN
from the Nehalem and occupies about
three or four days for the round trip
can handle but one-quarter OF load,
whether the road beyond the city Is good
or not.
Remedy-care in location. 1t may De
more economical to go around hills Or
build switch backs on mountain sides
than to tunnel or make deep cuts and
fills.
Second-The surface of the road bed
should be firm. A road bed may be so
soft or muddy that the team can, with
difficulty. draw an empty wagon over
it. Remedy, care in locating the ROAD
in countries like this, where wind and
sun can reach it, and the ground is dry.
In constructing provide thorough drain
age.
Much of the year good road can be
maintained on these two principles.
Third-cover the roadbed, either with
sheds overhead to keep of the rain:
or place on the ground materials which
are impervious to water.
