FORCING PARTY REGULARITY.

Oregonian: The Progressive party
of New Jersey found its ingenuity
taxed for an explanation of the poor
showing 1t made in the recent pri-
maries, but it has found one. It is
a joker in the direct primary law,
the law which was pushed through
the legislature by that progressive
Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, the fore
most champion of the peoples will
and the sternes foe of legislation in
secret chambers. This Is the joker as
quoted by the progressives:
No person who has voted at the
last primary election in one party
shall be allowed to vote at the pri-
mary election of another political
party the following year.
AS club to drive the voters into
regularity, it is a beauty. 1t com
pels them as long as they participate
in primaries to continue In the same
party In which they first registered.
They can only legally change their
party by emitting to participate in
the primaries for a year. "Once a
Democrat, always a Democrat seems
to be the law under President Will
sons new style of freedom.

The Globe Is pleased to see that
the state good roads commission has
placed the north and south road from
New Meadows to Grangeville among
the most important lines of proposed
highway construction, and one of
those to receive the first attention.
1t is equally disappointed in the fact
that Engineer Walter Hovey Hill, Of
this place, who from letters of assur-
ance received from those in high
authority, had the very best reason
for thinking would be elected state
highway engineer, failed to get the
position. 1t is not without a death
struggle that northern man gets an
appointment that there is anything In
If there is any southern man after it;
and the north had just as well bow to
the inevitable and take its medicine
with the bet grace 1t can muster.

MILLIONS LAviSHLY SPENT FOR
IMPROVEMENTS.

We talk about high cost of living,
and yet we are now spending million
in public improvements and the bet
terment OF living conditions where we
spent thousands % years ago, and it
is right to do it. We are not living un
der the conditions of even 10 years
ago, and who, when he gets right
down to brass lacks with himself,
honestly wants to. Listen to this:
Los Angeles Is spending $40 1000. 900
in getting ready for the opening Of
the Panama canal.
San Francisco is spending $1,000
600 in getting ready for the opening
of the Panama canal.
Seattle is spending 500 900, 900 in
getting ready for the opening of the
Panama canal.
The same movement for prepared
ness obtains in the gulf ports. New
Orleans is spending 50 900 900 on one
cotton warehouse alone now building
ON her publicly owned docks.
Port Austin, Texas, is spending
100000, Mobile and Galveston are
pouring millions into harbor improve
ments and other gulf ports are in the
midst of similar great expenditures.
To say nothing of huge expendi-
lures by ports of the United States
along the Atlantic, Montreal, Toronto,
st. Johns and Halifax are all making
port and dock improvements that are
measured in millions of money.
In Europe the same great game Of
millions is being played by London

and Glasgow, and in South America

Argentina are spending millions in

tive work this summer. Unless some
steps are taken by farmers to safe
guard their crops, the loss will be
greater than it was last year, Pro
fessor Dean says.
Several methods may be used sue
cessfully to arrest their migration.
These should be put into force be-
fore the early crops have matured.
After the bugs have once entered the
small grain fields there is no way to
prevent injury, but it is entirely pos
sible to keep them from passing into
the corn, kafir and sorghum.
The dust barrier and the road-oil
barrier are methods commonly used
to destroy the bugs. The first is use
full in dry weather and the latter
when the soil is wet. A dust barrier
is made by blowing strip of ground
about ten feet wide between the in
tested and the non-infested fields and

by listing a deep furrow and then
dragging with heavy log. The bugs
fall into these burrows when they pass
from one field to another and may be
destroyed by gasoline torch or by
dragging a log through the burrows.
The torch is more effective.
The road-oil barrier is constructed
by blowing a sharp back furrow be-
tween the fields and working up a
ridge on this by dragging trough
over it. On the bottom of the trough
a pole is placed which will leave a
groove on top of the compact ridge.
No. road-oil is placed in this groove
in sufficient quantity to make a line
one-half to three-fourths of an inch
wide. After the bugs have fallen into
the groove they may be destroyed by
the gasoline torch. Coal tar can be
substituted for road-oil but it is more
expensive and must be renewed more
frequently. The road-oil barrier is
for use in wet weather when the dust
barrier is useless. 1t should be placed
between the dust barrier and the non
infested fields.
The migration of chinch bugs from
wheat to corn fields usually lasts from
one to two weeks, and during this
time should be stationed with
torches along the barriers at the time

NATIONAL AID FOR THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
LRx W. S. Gearhart, State Highway Engineerl

In general, | can see very little JUS
LITIGATION for national aid for high
ways, except the following:
% 1t would encourage states that
have not heretofore taken part in the
movement to enter upon highway con-
struction.
(2) 1t would create a coherent sys-
tenn of through travelled roads, of in
terest not only to the states individ-
ually, but to adjoining states, and pos
sibly in some few cases, to several
states.
go 1t would distribute the cost
in such a way that construction might
be encouraged because the cost was
not all paid directly.
(4) 1t would standardize highway
construction If an efficient national
commission were formed, and would
lead to better and more uniform con
| struction.
Too many persons favor national
aid because it seems to give some
thing for nothing, and not because
| the scheme they suggest is equlIdDie
or because more economical results
will be obtained. 1t has seldom beer
found that the expenditures of spe
cial appropriations under government
auspices has been actually economical
or that their distribution has beer
based on fairness or equity.
l have no sympathy with the idef
of national aid for highways in thu
form of Jackpot" for political dis
tribution (such as the Rivers and Han
bors and Public Buildings appropria
tions), as it seemingly commonly de
manded, and do not believe that tn
cost of these highways will be an
less because the cost is collected in
directly by the general government
feel that it is sound principle tina
those who get the benefits should pa
the larger share of the cost, and bt
lieve that any law formulated shoul
be along such lines as will give a

when the migration is the heaviest.
One man can tend to one-half to three
fourth of mile of barrier. The bugs
usually begin to cross about o'clock
in the afternoon and reach the maxi
mum between 5 and 6 o'clock. On
cool days the movement begins
earlier. A few bugs are sure to get
across the barrier and infest the ad-
jacent fields. These may be destroyed
by a soap spray of eight pounds Of
laundry soap dissolved in 80 gallons
of water, or by flaming the infested
plants with the gasoline torch. The
methods described have been very
effective on the college farm.
During recent years numerous tests
have been made with the fungous dis
ease which destroys chinch bugs and
other insects in large numbers every
year. The results seem to indicate
that this disease is only effective
when the climatic conditions are right.
The experts at the agricultural col
lege recommend that farmers do not
attempt to introduce this fungous into
their fields.
