Speaking of newspaper cen
sorship it may yet be necessary
for the sake of good English,
to put the lid on early night
editions of Portland morning
papers; The Oregonian this
morning carried a headline
stating that a man had been
fatally injured and that his
chances for recovery were
slight.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-06-01

provides that in the event of
its passage so per cent of all
post road money must be ex-
pended in eastern Oregon. On
top of this we have assurance
that the highway commission
is already committed to inn
prove the Wild Horse ma
cadam road as one of the first
pieces of work to be under
taken east of the Cascades.
In view of these facts it
would be more to the point to
say the six million bond issue
offers Umatilla county its only
chance for state help.
Look the facts squarely in
the face and vote accordingly.
Don't accept loose statements
from those who oppose the
bonds. The opposition is
founded chiefly on prejudice
and misinformation. At a time
like this we cannot afford to
go wrong on such a vital sub
ject.
