Walter Pierce's road measure
would have been admittedly better
than none, but the legislature pre-.
ferred the bonding bill as more
comprehensive and entailing no bur
den on the general taxpayer. The
Pierce bill levied an annual tax of
one and one half mills, the proceeds
from each county to be expended
within that county. Under that
bill Multnomah county would have
received back for road work its en-
tire tax, which is forty percent of
the whole. Under the bond bill
MuItnomah county gets nothing,
but Portland iB willing that this
should be 50, in order that the

Charles L. McNary, appointed to
the United States Senate by Gov
ernor Withycombe to succeed Sen
ator Lane, is a progressive Repub-
ilcan and former justice Of the
Oregon supreme court, to which,he
was appointed by Governor West.
The selection of McNary mry be re-
garded as quite shrewd stroke Of
politics on the part of Governor
Withycombe, who has stalwart lean
ings but thus makes bid for pro-
gressive approval. However, there
is no reason to doubt that McNary
will make good senator, and in
such event the governor is entitled
to all the political advantage he
may derive from the appointment,
having demonstrated that he is with

Charley Barrett is one of the
most conscientious men and one of
the hardest workers that Umatilla
county has ever sent to the legisla-
ture. He is cautious man, not
given to unwise investmnets, and
led the fight against the Umatilla
county bonding measure. That he
now supports the state bond bill is
significant. To meet with Charley
Barrett's approval means that it
must needs be almost without a
flaw. We commend a careful pc

the innuendo that the legislature

SAVED SIS, 900; LOST s4.oOO. .OOo

It is sad to have to record that the wreck of the cruiser Milwaukee is due to what large par. of the Amer ican people believe to be the way the government usually does things" A private concern was ready to contract to salvage the submarine H-3, it's fig ure being $1S,O0O. Instead of ac- cepting that offer the department sent a couple of very costly naval vessels to the dangerous reef witt the result that the s4,O00,0O0 bat tleship Milwaukee was piled ur in the breakers and is total loss.
 There will be court n:artials The wight who navigated the H-3 is like ly to be dragged over the hot plates again and again, and no telling what they'll do with the skipper of the Mill waukee for getting too close inshore. But the imperturable aplomb of the heavyweights in Washington will not be as much as slightly irritated by the incident unless congress recovers sufficiently from the Lawson rammiDg to ask for an inquiry among the high er-ups.-Tacoma News.

pound up to 1,400 miles. cents pound up to 1900 miles, and cents for more than 1 1900 miles. The pres ent rate is 1 cent a pound for any distance.
 The above rate would be almost rrohibitive to parties in Alaska talk ing Chicago or New York papers,
 which weigh in many instances over
 pound. It would also stop Alas kan publishers from sending papers to the Eastern or Middle States, with out charging ten cents copy for tEeir papers straight; and would necessl itate the endless bother of assorttns
 rapers out for the various zones. anc an eternal squabble with postTaste over the exchange mail. The pub fisher is already burdened to the verge of bankruptcy by the almost prohib- tive cost of white paper, and it is al most a certainty that large part of them will be unable to withstand this additional load. It has been stated that at least 500 papers and periodi- calls have suspended the last year, owing to the excessive price of paper. To be sure, most of these were small sheets, but in the aggregate the joss to the printing industry is great.
 Several thousand men have been thrown out of employment and t.:e wage loss to communities has been considerable. It is just as fair to re- quire that letters and post cards be taxed by zones as it is that papers should be. The whole system is bas- ed upon the fallacy that the people are made to serve the postoffice in stead of the postoffice being made to serve the people.
 The Randolph bill is one of the most oppressive and unjust ever de- vised, and ranks with the iniquitouc stamp tax of 1776 and other burden some measures.
