M'MAHAN WINS FIRST
BLOOD IN ROAD CASE
Obtains Restraining Order From the
Court Preventing the Expend-
ture of Hundred Thousand
on Crater Lake Road.

SALEM, June 22.-L.- H. McMahan
has won in the circuit court by OBJ
tanning the order asked, for restrain
ing the. expenditure by the state treas
urer and secretary of state Of $780,
600 to be appropriated by the legis-
lature for construction of highway
to Crater Lake. Judge Holloway
rendered a decision this morning in
which he holds the law appropriating
the money is purely local as applied
only to two counties. 1t is special
because it is limited to a special sec
ton for a special purpose.
The attorneys for the state officials
will carry the case to the supreme
court Notice to that effect has been
served on the court.
The judge takes the ground that the
tendency of the courts of this and
other states. where similar inhibition
exists in the constitution is to place
such construction on a provision as
would make the Crater Lake appro-
priation unconstitutional.
The court cited many opinions in
similar cases to show that Mcmahon
point was we'll taken. Holloway said:
"On trial much of the testimony was
given by persons of high authority as
to the great scenic beauty of Crater

First Consideration.

Over-enthusiastic supporters OF the
various movements for the control
of the price Of cotton too often lose
sight of the fact that a product well
bought is half Sold"
On one occasion we heard the
leader Of great cotton growers
movement seriously declare that we
knew enough about making cotton
and that all the South needed now
was to get the worth OF her great
staple product. We should not miss
any opportunity to strengthen and
improve our marketing, but 1t is the
height Of absurdity to neglect the
production side. The man who makes
his cotton for six cents pound, no
matter how high the selling price
has Just four cents pound greater
profit than the man who makes 1t al
a cost of ten cents. Likewise the
man who makes bale to the acre
viii make a greater profit than tht
man who makes but half a bale. Il
is. therefore, nonsense, If NOT some
thing worse, for any l:an to CAIN

that we know enough about making
cotton already, SO long as it requires,
on an average, two and one-half acres
of land to produce a bale OF cotton.
We have much yet to learn about
marketing crops, but not more than
we still need toslearn about produc-
ing them. The latter is largely an IN
dividual matter, while the former Is
almost entirely one of cooperation,
The one we can do without the as
sistance Of our fellow-producers,
while the other is largely beyond our
individual influence. The one re-
quiring combined action Is, there
fore, the more difficult to accomplish;
hence, let no one neglect an oppor-
tunity to give his aid to any move
ment which will make for co-opera-
tive action In the marketing of the
south's greatest heritage. But for
Immediate. large and profitable re-
suits, let us not fail to produce, our
cotton at the least possible cost by
making the highest possible yield per
acre.-Progressige Farmer.
