TIME FOR A. A.PRoGREssIvE POLICY.

The Capital Journal has always sustained the Marion county
court in pursuing conservative policies.
We hopes legislation might be enacted by the state to
some permanent road legislation
But it is useless to wait for anything like that with conflicting
opinions between the road people.
So the time has come to forward and the Marion county
court should take the bull by the horns and step ahead
We believe the day is here when counties must take the a
tive and go to building some permanent highways
The people have shown their approval of such progress wher
ever it has been undertaken in progressive spirit
Counties that building manen highways have not suf
fered but their property values have gone ahead rapidly
The time has for evyng from three to five mills county
road tax, and making arrangements to spend the money
comprehensive road system has got to be laid out
substantial construction work done each year.
should be mapped out for about five years. and the
work should be started with substantial levy this year.
On top Of this the county court should prepare build at least
two muchneeded brdgeone at each end of the county
The bridge the Santiam at Sheburn and the bridge
across the Willamette Bueve should be undertaken
Both these bridges will add immensely to the value of
in both countless and will pay for themselves in five years
The opening of the country in Marion and Linn counties
bridging the Santam will enrich both counties by millions
The result will follow in the opening up the county
both sides of the river in the north part of the county
The county court should also provide against the
possible loss of the big steel bridge at Salem.
Those who afraid Governor West becoming unpop
ular should have the demonstration at the Progressive
ness Mems banquet given honor of the Portland
Saturday night There ntimatons by the speak
that the people do not know what they but that
be said of the crowd there They knew what they wanted
Governor West knew just how to give to them governor
has received cordial greeting returning
month spent in the interest Of his state going the continent
as Governor West did his recent Journey with the governors
special The crowd composed of the younger business
Portland and there not dissenting voice in the chorus
congratulations.

HAS A MAN ANY RIGHTS AGAINST SYSTEMS?

Walter Thurte is making fight against the en-
croachments of governmental systems.
1t becoming question each year whether men, as
men, have any rights under the Stars and Stripes.
This sound strange but rights rights unless they
cannot be trampled under foot
The tendency is to build up highly ramified and legally en-
trenched ruling class of offcasm
They get laws enacted get appropriations of public money
and then proceed to regulate the people
Armed with state law the Board of Health of Honolulu has
ordered all banana plants within five miles of the harbor cut
down.
They have also ordered all banana plants within 150 feet of
dwelling cut down, the pretext of killing mosquitoes

BRAND RESIGNS As

CABINET QUITS BECAUSE VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE DISCLOSED
ONLY SIXTEEN MAJORITY .
FOR GOVERNMENT.

Paris, France.-The French cabi-
net, headed by Premier Aristide Bri-
and, resigned at one o'clock this af-
ternoon. The only reason for the res
ignation was that the Chamber of
Deputies last Friday gave vote of
confidence to the government with a
majority of only sixteen. An effort
will be made to form a new cabinet
that will unite the warning factions.
The vote Friday was taken after an
arraignment of the premier by the
radical socialists, Louis Malvy and
Paul Menier. Premier BRAND is con-
sidered one of the most brilliant in
that capacity, although his espousal
of the separation act involved him in
bitter strife.

OI1vET RBGAIns COURT
IN HUTCHINSON COUNTY

Pierre, 8. D.-The house at . late
Saturday night session worked out Q
number Of Senate bills. the principal
one being the final disposal Of the
Shaffer money secured on North Car
olina bonds. which has taken the SEN
ate about ten years to settle to Its
satisfaction. and which was settled
by the house in ten minutes, without
q word OF the warm discussions
which the proposition has always
called out when the matter was up
for discussion in the upper house.
The House took up the burning
question for Hutchinson county as
to where court shall be held 20 long
as the county seat is not located on
a railroad. Two eyars ago q bill went
through which allowed the court to
be held at other than county seat
towns when the county seat was
more than three miles from q rail-
road. The bill Just passed by the
house, which went through the sem
ate some time ago, increases that
limit to six miles. and let's Hutchin-
son county outside its provisions and
cuts out the court privileges which
have been enjoyed by Parkston and
Memo for the past two years.
The detail of the work Of the
night session was all on senate bills,
those passed being 122, providing
for the naming Of farms and ranches
and registation Of the same with the

that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years
but that 1t will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July /,

to any mail bearing seals which re-
semble postage stamps, If used either
