WASHINGTON WORKS WITH VIM

Washington knows the worth of
what it has to show. both scenic and
agricultural, and it wants to let the
motorist see all. 1t also wants to let
the farmer tap the markets with a
minimum of hauling charges. 10 this
end, one of the country's greatest
highway systems is planned. A state
wide plan for a SIS, 900, 900 road bond
issue will be laid before the legisla-
ture next January by good roads or
ganizations and commercial associa-
tions.
The plan has received support from
every quarter, its endorsements includ-
ing that of the newly, formed State
Progress and Prosperity Committee,
formed by Governor Hay
One feature of the enthusiasm with
which the project has been received
was Good Roads Day.
i Thosssanda OF Npshingtonians
turned to on the roads with pick and
shovel. and in every part of the state
meetings were held to further the bond
issue plans On this day, Governor
Hay toured over part of the famous
Pacific Highway and took hand in
actual repair work himself.
The plans are extensive, containing
several unusual features. The main
points in the scheme are these:
The completion of the Pacific High
way from Blaine to Vancouver; the
construction Of road into the Grays
Harbor country; the building of a
highway across the state with one
branch to Spokane and another to
Walla Walla; the connection of Spo-
kane and Walla Walla on the east.
and, probably, the construction and
improvement of the Columbia River
east -and-west highway.
An incident in the general good
roads campaign was the securing OF
President 1aft's aid by the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce in regard te
/ the improvement of the roads into
Mount Painier Park. When appealed
to, the President wrote to Chief For
ester Graves, declaring that this ii:

OREGON IS ON THE JOB

A campaign of education is being
pushed in Oregon in favor of the road
bond issue OF $50, 900, 900. Scores of
organizations are behind the move
ment to secure the amendment of the
constitution which restricts the state 5
outlay on roads, and reports on public
sentiment indicate victory for the
roads forces in the November election.
Much is being done by counties
individually, with Jackson county and
it's 81, 500, 900 bond issue at the top Of
the list.
The growth in the number of auto
mobiles in the state helps to give an
idea Of the increase of interest in
good roads. In 1905 Oregon had but
2l8 cars; today the total is over 1000.
Portland alone now has 5000 machines,
against 2oS in 1905.
Oregon recently had Road Day,

while Elizabeth never pays more than .
per cent. IL Elizabeth had TO pay 4e
per cent. on its bonds 1t would mean an
additional three points In the tax rate
annually, or enough money to pay the
charges on the principal for a new high
school every year.
The Mayor of Birmingham, in a dis
patch to the Commission Government
League, has inadvertently proved the
claim that their bonds cost more han In
Elizabeth. He says:
Bonds before October Is, 1909. realized
s4s.sS. After July 10, 1911, under com
mission government, realized 1856"
Being interpreted. this means that pre-
vious to October Is. 1909, when there was
no commission government in Blrming-
ham, that city paid $46.88 on each $1,000
of bonds issued, but after commission
government had been adopted paid 1856
on each $1,000 Of bonds issued, quite a
difference against the taxpayer.
Trenton Proves Plan Failure.
Other cities have been cited by the
commission government advocates as get
ting a better premium for bonds than
Elizabeth, but every one Of these cities
is paying u ulSpeI Euts VI liioANSl IN
these bonds thar Elizabeth and as a gen.
eral thing the bonds of these cities are
costing the more than similar
bonds cost the taxpayers of Elizabeth.
Passaic is n commission government city
which is paying AZ per cent. on its bonds.
The city of Trenton under commission
government increased its budget $4,000
the first year. and there was an inor-
dinato increase in the tax rate. The
commission advocates have denied this,
but the minutes of the Board of Com
missioners prove it, and the tax ordi-
nance just printed provides indisputable
evidence of 1t. An editorial in the Tren-
ton Evening Times OF wednesday Of this
week has this to say Of commission gov
eminent in that city:
ut is going TO be a difficult Job to
clean up the city and protect Its young
women and girls, SO long as the com
mission refuses to cooperate with its po-
lice department and its Grand Jury, but
assists in laying snares to entangle them.
And the commission, under the Walsh act
has complete control over the affairs of
the city adopting the provisions of this
nct,' including the power to grant or re
fuse licenses in its discretion"

Why don't you turn loose or

 ernment license in Brinkley, ano I'd Right here I stopped
 him by asking him if he knew who it was that had these license, and this is what he said: T know but 1 don't like to say" Now, by this you can readily see what this clever friend would really do if he was running a newspaper. To be frank and plain, it is just as much the duty of each and every loyal citizen to take a hand in law enforce ment as it is the newspaper man. There are those who are unreas- enable enough to imagine that the newspaper man is or should be the ONE individual to start and do every disagreeable task for the entire community. This newspaper man has during p years served overtime in do- ing the disagreeable things in this respect. He doesn't expect to shirk a single responsibility of citizenship in the future, but
 get it, please, it is just as much the duty of every other citizen to stand and act for law enforcement as It IS the neWSpa- per man. Where the good citi- zenship of a community stand as a unit for morality and law en- forcement the law-breaking ele- ment understand the limit of things. Where only few indi- yiduals act in these matters those who are disposed to break the laws, readily understand that the moral cowardice of the many, is their safety and hence grow bold and defiant. When the citizens of Brinkley get tired of existing conditions and all decide .togeth- CT for better things. then, and not til then. will we havea a clean town.
