PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

The most practical suggestion yet
made for the betterment Of the ore
gon registration law is that OF Clerk
Fields, Of Multnomah County. who is
preparing a bill which will go before
the next session of the legislature In
January The important feature Of
Clerk Fields measure is that a voter
once registered win not be required to
register again. provided he does not
move out of the precinct or does not
fail to vote at two succeeding cleo
tions. II is proposed to leave the
books open for registration through
out the year except for Is days pre-
ceding a primary or general election.
These changes would avoid the usual
rush for registration In election years.
as the great body OF voters would re-
main on the books until they died OF
moved away. New voters and those
who move from one precinct to an
other could register at any time.
In place OF the clumsy registration
records. Clerk Fields suggests the use
Of card index system. Such cards
could be filled out easily and quickly
and would be much handler for cleo
ton officers than the duplicate sets of
books now In use. Mr.. Fields adopted
the card index system IN his Office sew
oral years ago as an adjunct 20 the
books lie says without their use the
work Of registration IN Multnomah
County would now be an almost inn
possible task
To meet the objection that by fail I
ing to require a new general reeistra-
ton every two years the register viii 4
De- encumbered by names Of dead men
and those who have moved away. Mr. 4
Fields bin provides that when a man
fails 70 vote az two succeeding general
elections his name shall be dropped /

HOPS REACH t6 IL CENTS
Many Growers Are Holding Firmly
For 2O-Cent Market.

Hops have reached 16 hc pound,
and the outlook seems bright for still
higher prices Frank Durbin at Salem
purchased 140 bales from Kola Neis
at the high market, this being an ad-
vance of Nc paid by Herman Klaber
for the Percival lot Thursday.
The market for hops is extremely
firm, and purchases are hard to make
because growers are insisting upon zoe
for their holdings. The east is offering
plenty of business, but most orders
are for Ice, and no transactions can be
closed now at this figure.
So few bales of hops remain unsold
in the hands of either producers or
dealers that large purchases cannot
be made in the future. With less than
1000 bales remaining in the hands of
growers, and these scattered among
the future outlook is for drib-
bling transactions.
Outside markets are firm, but quiet,
owing to the lack of offerings.

HARD PAVEMENT.

Dallas made grave mistake when
it improved it's business streets with
crushed rock. The Observer fought
that macadam was at best a poor sub
stitute for smooth-surfaced pavement;
that it would soon wear out in the
business district; that property owners
could not afford to spend large sums
of money for this inferior improve
ment when permanent, hard surface
streets could be built for only a few
dollars more This newspaper pointed
out that, under the bonding act, any
property not desiring to pay all
of his assessment at one time could
have his payments distributed through
a period of ten years. thus giving him
an opportunity to greatly increase the
value of his real estate without feeling
the expense.
The Observer was right then, and it
is right now, when it says that the
streets should be paved without fur
ther delay. Dallas will never grow as
it ought to grow, and is entitled to
BIOWy 50 IOIiB dS IL mas III
looking streets. Argue as he may, no
one can get away from this fact. No
town ever begins to make real growth
until it paves its streets. Every live
town in the Willamette Valley except
Dallas has either paved or is prepar-
ing to pave. Every town that has
paved is making a more rapid growth
than Dallas is making. We cannot
afford to fall behind in the race. We
must not.
There should be neither criticism nor
blame for the city officers who have
built our macadam streets. They did
what they thought was best. But to
pursue this mistaken policy of street
improvement would be nothing less
than a criminal waste of the peoples
money. Let's get right and build up
Dallas. Let the slogan be Hard pave
ment for the business streets and
macadam for the residence district"
