built Then too, the expense of con-
structing the bridge would be borne
by the three counties-Yamhill, Mar
ion and Clackamas, which are equally
benefited. The West end Of the
bridge would rest in Clackamas and
Yamhill counties, while the East end
of the bridge would rest in Marion
county. Now the cost of this bridge
to these three counties would be so
light that no one would feel the bur
den, as the assessed valuation OF the
three counties is $84, ,0OO, 900 and the
estimated cost of the bridge is $780,
600, or in other words abous a one
mill tax on the assessable property of
the three counties-one-half mill to
be paid in 1912 and the other half in
the year 1913. Now, as to the other
project, will state that there is law
on the statute book where two coun-
ties can unite in building a bridge,
but there Is no law where three coun-
ties can join together in the construc-
ton of bridge, therefore, we con-
tend that we are the only bridge pro-
ject before the legislature at this
time. While we are not opposing con-
structlon of bridge at any other
point along the river at this time, we
are working for the passage of this
bill that we have introduced through
Senator Carson for a bridge at Butte

confuse this project with another
bridge project. The Tri-County Push
Club was organized over year ago
for the express purpose of advocat-
ing this bridge and never have we
let up on this project during all these
days, for we were certain that a
bridge could be constructed for less
money here than any other place
along the river, nearly, for there are
suitable banks to construct the bridge
without the use Of draws; conse-
quently there would be no expense in
maintaining the bridge after once

THE EXPOSURE AT THE ASYLUM.

But is only by political attacks that the people get at the
truth Of any public matter, and get reform.
On behalf of Superintendent Steiner must be said his honor
and integrity official has not been questioned
Those who have interested themselves the administration of
the asylum know he has been model official.
He has treated all the patients from the standpoint of the
highest consideration of humanity
From medical standpoint he has probably applied ad
vanced medical science than any of his predecessors.
He has improved the sanitary conditions and the food and
care OF the patients
He has not been afraid recommend necessary sums for
needed improvements, and then has spent the money
The exposure does not attack Dr. Steiner any of these
lines and comes from equipment of cottages.
These cottages the homes of the families of the supern
tendent and the first assistant physician

residence homes for the head officials of the asylum one main
reason for the attack.
Dr. Steiner has not pretended that per capita expense for
Keeping patients was being kept down by him.
lie has believed in raising the standards Of living and the cost
OF living has gone up there as elsewhere
The political system under which all the institutions are
managed is wrong in our opinion
The demands for the expenditures is left too much o the off
clals, and should come from thestate government
Inc heads OF the institutions in the past have been left to
ask for what they wanted and it has been given them

We all know that a dollar in the
hands of money king is of no more
value than a dollar in the hands of a
small investor. The difference in
power comes in the opportunity to
use that dollar But remember this:
that every money king. every one of
the big feluows of Wall Street, were
small investors at one time. They
had to start somewhere, sometime,
and when you dig into their lives a
little you find that they started by
making small investment In some
growing. promising enterprise. Look
Ing at 1t in that way, we might be led
to believe that so far as the. start is
concerned all workers and savers are
