must contemplate something more
than road building within the boun-
daries of the national forests. To
Illustrate this, let US take Lane coun-
tvs case. OF Lane county's total
area, 42.2 per cent is forest reserve
and therefore untaxable. This means
that the remaining SIS per cent of
the county's area must pay the taxes
for the entire county. Thus bur-
den of no small proportions has been
laid upon the taxpaying public.
II advancing money to be repaid
from future receipts from timber
sales is to correct this Injustice,
something more than building scenic
roads within the forest must be done
The entire county has felt the lack
If tax revenue and its development
has been correspondingly held back.
Thus the roads in the valley-roads
that are wholly apart from the for
ests, but nevertheless part of the
county's system Of Communication
have failed to receive as much as
they should and are by no means as
complete as they ought to be.
The fact that the forests are nom
taxable and at the present time pay
little revenue to the counties in
which they are located constitutes
a distinct injustice to the people Of
the Western states. This injustice
is realized by the secretary of agri-
culture, and his plan to advance
money to be paid back from future
receipts is an attempt at remedy.
But putting this money into scenic
roads in the forests will not balance
the account. If justice is to be done,
the funds available from this source
If Congress agrees to provide
funds-must be placed at the coun-
ties disposal in such way that gen.
eral road development will be made
possible.
Scenic roads are a valuable asset,
but Oregon's great need is a system
of market roads that will develop
the back country and bring it in
touch with the trading centers.
Wherever scenic boulevards can be
made an important part of such
system, we'll and good, but the point
to be insisted upon is that the great
est attention be paid to the roads
that will aid in the development Of
the whole country.-Eugene Regis

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

ABUSING A PRIVILEGE.

A few months ago the city council
of Heppner decided that an oppor-
tunity for filling civic need had ar
rived and they announced to the pub
lie that the council chambers would
be open at all hours of the day as a
reading room. The committee hav-
ing charge of the reading room has
seen to it that the tables have been
supplied at all times with suitable
reading matter consisting of books,
newspapers and magazines and the
chamber has been made comfort
able place for the men of the town,
especially, to spend their evenings in
reading. Many have taken advan-
tage of it. But now the reading room
may be closed. Closed because some
of the young men of Heppner, for
the main part, school boys, have
abused the privilege which has been
accorded them.
These young men are not in need
VI d ISduluS 1OUuI, poi IlSuidA y oiASC
the larger portion of their daytime is
spent in the school room. The public
reading room is a convenient place
for them to congregate, and it is
there that, in working off some of
their excess pep, they engage in
boxing contests and scuffles which
result in broken chairs, scratched
tables and broken book cases. What
these young fellows need is we'll
equipped gymnasium and not a read
ing room. Through their past con-
duet the room may be closed, because
the city marshal cannot spend his
entire time there in order to insure
their proper conduct. 1t is to be la
mented that we lose such public
asset as our reading room, for there
are many who get enjoyment out Of
the privilege that is accorded them
and they are in no wise responsible
for some of the rough-neck work
that has taken place there.

REWARD!

The electric transmission line re-
Gently completed and in operation be-
tween Heppner and lone, the lives Of
the operators of that line, and OF the
public who travel the streets and
roads which the line uses, have been
through the malice or ignorance Of
someone, placed in serious danger to
property and life. The line carries
an 11000-volt current. Contact with
that current would be instant death.
Safety from that contact depends up
on the perfect insulation where the
wires are fastened to the insulators,
and continuous unbroken wire line.
A broken insulator releases the wire
and 1t drops to the pole, which at
once becomes carrier of the cur
rent. A pole charged is dangerous to
anything coming In contact with 1t,
a broken line coming in contact with
anything living means death. We con-
structed the line along accepted
standards OF safety to life; If any ac-
cident occurs through the act of any
one else they and not we are liable for
1t. 1t is for the purpose of safe
guarding the public that the laws Of
Oregon impose severe penalty upon
those who molest or disturb the safe
operation of lines of this character;
shooting at or breaking insulators
or breaking wires may bring on ser
ious danger to innocent operators at
the generating station and the pub
lie. Disturbing the operation or loss
of property is the least Of attending
evils. We have our operators and the
public to safeguard. Therefore, we
will pay Fifty Dollars Reward for any
information that will lead to the
identification, arrest and conviction
Of anyone injuring, tamperihg with
or molesting any part Of our trans
mission line, and we give notice that
prompt and effective prosecution Of
any offender, irrespective of age or
sex will follow any such act or acts.

PREPAREDNESS.

That word preparedness is about
he biggest in our language. 1t
means to be ready to meet opposi
tion.
AS recently used 1t has only been
applied to meeting an attack from
foreign powers, but that does not be-
gin to cover all its meaning. We put
a lock on the door in defense of pos
sible burglars. This is one form of
preparedness. We put on mittens
and muftlers when we go out into
zero weather, that is another form.
We drain stagnant ponds to discour-
age the fever that may be waiting
to mount on wings of the malaria
and charge upon the health Of the
household We say the nation should
be prepared to meet any attack, but
the states should likewise be pre-
nared. An idle and hungry man is
a danger to a state and the state
should be prepared to give such an
one employment and wages for his
work. The pest that attacks fruit
trees is a danger to be promptly met.
Some of our horticulturists have
learned to be prepared against the
spring frosts that may steal in and
attack the orchards when in bloom.
The prudent man insures his
house to be prepared against fire.
The prudent state sees to it that all
the children are enrolled in the
schools as means OF preparedness
against that very worst enemy of
man, ignorance.
AS it is often easier to prevent
sickness than to cure it, so a pru-
dent city sees to 1t that the vices are
not tiaunted in the faces Of the child
rem or vulgar plays or pictures pre-
sented. A humane city keeps tab on
it's poor to see that suffering is pre-
vented and that there is not through
want an incentive given to the very
poor to commit crime.
Men, women and children are like
birds. Some are dependent, others
are like birds of prey, and when So
ciety is enlightened it sees to it that
the strong do not crush the weak.
Thus we see that the chief end of
enlightenment of the earth is to try
to keep the world prepared against
enemies. These enemies are cold
and hunger and disease and sorrow
and want as we'll as the strong hands
that come to despoil their fellow
men.
Foreign powers do not often at
tempt an invasion and conquest, but
these other enemies are always on
watch and ready to attack any weak
place.
When a cold wave is on the march
and headed this way, ton of coal
and a big box of food make Won
derful preparedness for household
of poor women and children. Pre-
paredness is splendid thing for a
nation. it is more splendid when all
the people of the nation are prepared
against idleness, ignorance, want and
sorrow.-Goodwin's Weekly.

Morrow county doesn't have to
spend her time considering the
why's and wherefores" of scenic
highway. We never did boast of
scenic beauty hereabouts. But good
road, built anywhere within the
county, would prove good market
road, since every corner of the coun-
ty has something at nearly all sea-
sons of the year that needs to be
hauled to market. Let US construct
good roads to our chief markets and
the tourist travellers seeking scenic
beauty will travel our good highways
without a single question.

RURAL WIRE TAPPERs.

Moral crusades have been under
taken without effect against the
Peeping Tom Of the rural telephone.
Sermons have been preached without
result. The habit persists in the face
of all efforts to put stop to the nui-
sance. A disheartened party liner
writes in despair to the Newberg
Graphic complaining that he can
have no secrets from his neighbors.
The spy in Europe who steals the
war secrets is shot. The common
thief is sent to prison. But the pur-
loiner of telephone conversations
cannot be taught that 1t is as wrong
to steal conversation as coin.
Thus the victims grief is told. Out
of bitterness that must have been
wrought of sorry trial he hints at
such punishment as boiling the Of
fender in oil. But how can the evil
dence be fastened upon the most per-
sistent offender? Even If the suspect
goes about the community telling the
wire secrets of his neighbors the evi-
dence would be purely circumstan-
tial. He might plead that someone
told him that someone told someone
else who had learned from someone
who had been informed by someone
else that Lem Jones was about to
marry Sue Smith. Then, who tapped
the wire?
No, the matter is not one for legis-
lation. A law against listening over
the wire would provide no adequate
remedy. Education having failed to
establish a code of morals, but one
alternative remains. Human ingenu-
ity must step in. In the city the
problem has been largely solved. The
bell rings only in the particular
home that is being summoned. This,
Of course, would not solve the prob
lem In the country where wire tap
ping" has become habit. Persist
ent curiosity would take the worst
offenders to the line whether the bell
rang or not. Some OF them, we sus-
pect, would be at the instrument ev-
cry five minutes seeking to intercept
a message. Yet the city system sug-
gests an idea.
II the telephone can be made to
call only the party that Is wanted,
perhaps 1t can be made to repel those
who are not wanted. II three rings
call Jones an automatic attachment
that would turn a strong electric cur
~ent into Smiths receiver would
break the Smiths OF the listening

SCENIC AND MARKET ROADS.

Counting the chickens before they
are hatched, the Portland Journal es-
Inmates that II money could be Sc
cured in advance Of timber sales in
the Oregon National Forest paved
highway could be built around Mt
Hood from the Multnomah county
line to connection with the Colum-
bia Highway at Hood River. The
possibility Of obtaining money for
such road is contained in recon-
mendation that has twice been made
by the secretary Of agriculture in
his annual report. He recognizes the
burden laid upon Western commun-
tiles by the non-taxable forests and
proposes that money be advanced by
the government for road construc-
tion, to be later paid back from the
counties share of the sales of timber
In the national forests.
There is little hope of money for
road building from this source in the

ury deficit staring it in the face and
with unprecedented demands for ap-
propriations being made upon II from
every side 1t is highly unlikely that
Congress will consider this an aus
picious time for righting the wrongs
OF the Western states. But II the
secretary OF agriculture's plan should
ever be adopted and money for road
building in forest land counties thus
be made available, 1t is hoped that
Lane county would not use her share
in building scenic boulevard that
would be of value chiefly to tourists.
Scenic boulevards are desirable, but
there are other road needs that must
be met first.
II the secretary of agriculture's
proposal, or any other plan for ad-
vancing money to forest counties, is
to be successful in equalizing the in
justice Of the present situation In

CUMMINGS ID RUN
 FOR |. s. SENATE
Not Disappointed in Pres. Wl-
 sons Selection Of Mccormick

The announcement coming from Washington, D. C., upon the final day of the democratic convention, that Vance E. Mccormick had been chosen by the president as chairman of the national committee was a sur prise to democracy in general and to the Connecticut delegates to the na- tional convention in particular. Every forecast made at the convention led to the supposition that Homer S Cummings of the Nutmeg state would be the man to lead the campaign and there were no predictions to the contrary by those in a position to know. MT. Cummings was favored by the committee and was known ~hatl' he was close to the presico-~ Hisl record in politics from the district of Martyrs as Connecticut is known, is of the brightest.
 Mr. Cummings possibly had pre- monition that he was not to lead the national committee as he maintained absolute silence during the time he was being prominently mentioned for the office. The word goes from
 well informed circles that he did not wish unless the president insisted
 upon IL, lO ldhe lIS management OL
 affairs as it would disbar him from
 running in this state. He has been,
 according to a statement accredited to
 him, waiting for ten years to run
 for the senate of the United States"
 and his mbition in this direction ma@s
 be the reason for his failing to gyf%l
 the appointment. Whether that is due to his own request or some other happening is of course unknown. In asking for recognition from the | democrats of the state MT. Cum
 mings has every reason to expect it. MT, Cummings, as things stand, ] wishes to run and believes his elet- 1 tion inevitable. His enthusiasm is 1 boundless and he would add greatly to the strength of the ticket. If lose he must, he will do it gracefully; if l elected he promises to be thoroughly. | capable of filling successfully the l obligations of one of the highest of- 1 fees in the national government. As far as the appointment of Vance
 Mccormick to the chairmanship goes, 1 democracy is satisfied that the pfesi l dent knew well what he was doing when he chose the Pennsylvania man l for the office which carries with 1t l the direction of the national cam | paign for the reelection of Woodrow ! Wilson. MT. Mccormick is well suit l ed for his. duties, is an active cam paigner and also comes from a state
 which will prove difficult to turn ! toward democracy. ,..
