that additional money can be expended
in extending the system. What the city
and county needs is road system that
will put the country in touch with the
city, and that will make it easy for
farmers from every section to get TO
the county seat.
Some system should be agreed upon
by which several main lines can bo
built extending into every part Of the
county. A road to the north, another
to the south, one out toward Silverton,
and another reaching the Aumsville.
Stayten sections, for instance, and
these can be extended and cross
roads built connecting them az
more money is available. Some such
system as this would meet popular ap.
proyal and the people will bear the tax
necessary to build them. Until some
definite plan is arranged they will not
vote for the bonds, now, or at any time

The Capital Journal has refrained
from taking q stand on the matter Of
issuing bonds in the sum Of $s50,00O
for the purpose Of building roads for
several reasons. One Of these was that
it wanted to understand just what was
proposed in the matter, II wanted to
know If there had been any plan per.
fected for a road system, and on which
the money would be expended. Desir.
ing this information, and believing the
voters and taxpayers Of the county also
wanted it, The Capital Journal invited

therof pay heavy yearly tax, It is the
part Of wisdom to use abundant caution

Race Around the

Aviation Expert Points Out Conditions
Imposed too Drastic and OBJ

[uN1rrp pnEss InAsrp w1nr.l

st. Louis, Feb. 2.-Albert Lambert,
a well known aviation expert, was not
enthusiastic today over the proposed
aeroplane race around the world to
start in May, 1915, from the Panama.
Pacific exposition grounds in San Fran
cisco. He thought such flight i'm
practicable.
"No aeroplane could stand such
strain" he said today. Gin the first
place the life of an aeroplane is brief,
and intended to cover only from 600 to
1000 miles. The contestants could
hardly average more than four or five
hours of flying daily, and it would re-
quire so days to make the trip if the
aeroplanes averaged 100 miles an hour
while aloft
"I think the conditions imposed are
impossible and the obstacles too great
to be overcome.
"It would be better if the exposition
management arranged a race across
the continent to the fair. A race from
New York to San Francisco would draw
at least so entrants"

Arguments on the demurrer in the
injunction case Of Frances, ct al,
against the state printing board, State
Printer Harris and the Allied Print
ers' Trades Council arc being heard by
Judge Galloway today.
In his opening statement to the court
this morning, Assistant AttOrney-Gen.

complaint be dismissed on the grounds
that the plaintiffs have failed to show
wherein they or the state or taxpay-
ers have been injured by reason Of the
contract said to be in force between
the state printer and the Allied Print
ing Trades Council. Crawford contend
ed that the present controversy arose
out of the fact that certain non-union
printers in Portland are attempting to
place the Salem typographical union in
hole by attacking the state printing
plant, and said that the court will be
infringing upon the official rights Of
the state printer in the event it sustains
the plaintiffs contentious that the con
tract or agreement drawn up between
Mr. Harris and the Allied Printers
Trades Council should be abrogated.
Attorney Spencer, representing thu
plaintiffs, took up the argument thi'
