BUT ONE VIEW POSSIBLE

Whatever may be the views of the
state at large concerning the six
million dollar road bonding meas
urc- and the probability is that 1t
will carry by a large vote there
can be- no two sensible opinions rs
to the interests Of Umatilla county.
The road from Pcndlcton to the
state line a continuation of the
great trunk highway provided for
by the bill will he among the very
first to bc hard surfaced. according
to Commissioner w. l.. Thompson,
if the bill carries. If this road is
not rebuilt by the state il will have
to be rebuilt by the county-a fact
which becomes oppreSSively appar-
ent to anyone who rides over it.
The state bill will not cost one dol
lar in added taxes to the people Of
this county; but if they have to re-
build the road and to rebuild ii
right, they will be very speedily
made aware that they have spent
something.
Another important fact to reflect
upon is that the quarter mill road
tax and the increased automobile
licenses will go to the state here
after regardless as to whether the
bonding bill wins or loses. Should
it lose, Umatilla county will be re-
duced to the painful necessity of pay
ing the state for roads that it must
pcrforce build at its own expense.
But even transccnding material
interests is the matter of state
pride. It's about time for us to
show that we possess modicum of
that progressive spirit which has
made Of Washington with no
greater resources nor better oppor-
tunities a grander commonwealth
than Oregon.

THE WAR MESSAGE

HfcSlucnt WILSON, Wsi HNNS~e~N
10 Congress was calm, dispaSSionatc
and incisivc. Reading it, one is
prone to wonder that our nation
and government have endured 50
long the German policy of ruthless
and murderous aggression.
If ever nation had just cause for
war against another, the United
States has cause for war against
Germany. Our war with Spain ~
suited from reasons positively triN-
ial in comparison. Germany has
violated well recognized principles
of international law. sunk our ships
and murdered our people ON the
sole plea of necessity. She has be-
come as an outlaw among nations,
beyond the pale of civilization and
humanity an outlaw to be despiscd
and to be fought to the death.
Indeed, had Germany herself not
become obSessed by the spirit of the
Hun, fostered and encouraged
through years Of military domlna-
ton, she would understand our posi-
tion and hold us blameleSs. We're
the situation reversed: were the
United States at war with the En-
tente powers and using submarines
to sink neutral shipping in a so
called barred zone, we would have
been brought to book by justly
outraged Germany within "a hours
after destroying a Teutonic Lusi-
tania. The old proverb as to the
ownership of the gored OK applies
aptly in this instance.
Even Germany's sole excuse for
her frightfulness is as false as has
been her entire propaganda in con-
nection with the great war. She
was not required to fight and is
not fighting for ''her national exist.
ence." She began the struggle
herself through an overweening
sense of power refusing the offers
of England, France and Russia to
unite with them in settling the
Austro-Serbian dispute. Yet she
could undoubtedly end it tomorrow
on terms favorable to herself by de-
throning her rulers. Not Ger.
many's integrity as a nation but
the divine right" of the royal
house Of Hohenzollcrn is at stake in
the tremendous and bloody game
which Europe is playing.
To most Americans war with Ger
many comes as relief from an in
tolerablc situation. 1t was the
sole alternative to national humil-
iation and dishonor When the EIo-
henzollcrns and the HapSburgs are
at last brought to their knees
conclusion which seems inevitable
the voice Of the United States will
carry weight in the council Of the
nations held to bring about the
great compact for lasting world
peace. Such a consummation would
be entirely possible along the lines
suggested by President Wilson. II
it can be accomplished. the worlds
gigantic conflict will have been
worth somewhere near its cost in
blood and treasure. Otherwise its
only fruitage will be hatred. sorrow
and misery.
