TO AID BONDED COUNTIES

An amendment to the bonding bill was proposed by
Senator Eddy yesterday to the effect that the Highway
Commission should not eXpend any of the counties that
have already exhausted bond issues in building roads,
greater than the amount expended in this way and from
money derived from milage road tax Senator Olson OBJ
ected to this amendment the ground that Columbia
county and perhaps Hood River county also had expended
a the money they could raise by bonds and this amend
ment would prevent the completion of the Columbia high
way 1t would take 100000 to do the work in Columbia
county and that county being poor had already bonded
itself to the limit which, with its millage tax, only
amounted to about $400000 If this amendment passed.
this section of the road could not be finished 1t the
same in Hood River He pointed out that would take
million dollars to complete this work. so necessary for
Portlands use, and also that as Mutnomah county
waived all rights any of the funds would not be ask
ing too much that this deficiency be overcome by using
few hundred thousand dollars to aid the poorer and
hausted counties. The amendment was withdrawn.
While the proposition is fair enough it at the time
shows that Multnomahs generosity has string it.
AS matter of fact there few if any roads in Multi
nomah county that would under the heads Of those
proposed to be built It is of the smallest counties
but contains than third of the taxable property
and hence has it's roads in fine shape 1t has built good
roads and paid for them itself and it is only natural that
it should want of the money raised by this bond is
spent roads connecting with its road system
Tt is also natural that Multnomah should want the rst
money available expended to complete the system already
started connecting it with the country around and was
to this end the metropolis waived the right to the eX
penditure of any part of the money to from the
bond saley inside Of Multnomah boundaries.

A MISLEADING STATEMENT

"It will not cost the taxpayers anything" That is the
statement that has been quite common among the legis
aors 1t invoked when the senate proposed to create
the office of fire chief and establish host of fire inspec
tors at every roads in the state It will not cost
the taxpayers anything because the funds collected by
the insurance department will meet all the bills The bill
simply provides that these inspectors shall be paid out of
any funds in the hands of the insurance department
ut will not cost the taxpayers any thing" was the
main reliance in those backing the six million dollar road
bonding bill in the senate yesterday "The money col
ected from automobile licenses will pay the interest and
the rate of increase in the number Of machines in the
twenty-five years the bonds have to the licenses so
collected will pay off the principal as well as the interest
1t will not cost the taxpayers anything, is fatuous
cry The money to pay the fire chief and the inspectors
in the fire protection bill comes from the people of Ore
gon The money paid for auto licenses from the
auto owners of the state.
1t the legislators have idea that If money col
ected from the people Of the state be kept from going
into the state treasury that the dear taxpayers not
out anything They have never grasped the idea that III
the insurance department any other collects more
money than is needed to conduct it. that the surplus
should go into the state treasury and become part of the
states funds They do not to catch to the fact
that the licenses paid by autosts could be turned into
the general road funds Of the state and thus prevent any
question of the constutonaty of the license at least
leave that question in as good shape as it is under the
present system
IF the license charge is constitutional in one case it is
in the other yet the advocates of the bond issue tell the
people, "It will not cost the taxpayers anything"
The money collected from automobile licenses is paid
into the office OF the secretary OF state Ii is the state
money but because has not been turned into the gen.
raj fund these word prestidgators tell us that although
the state has collected the money and it is in the hands o
one of its officials that it does not belong to the state and
that it is not the taxpayers money
lie it not used to pay interest it could be paid for
some other purpose simply because it money belonging
to the state We are not saying this objection to-
the bond issue That has been decided to leave to the
people If they want it is their privilege to say LII
they do not it then it is for them to vote that way
1t IS the sefeviden fasehood of the statement that isl
Objectionable Any measure that has to be backed byI
falsehood is something to be suspected There is oc
cason for deceivng ourselves trying to deceive Others
The bond measure should stand squarely its merits
and the faxed up proposition that t will not cost he

CHAPTER CHI.


After the wedding mother, Elsie,
and myself were very quiet, a sort of
reaction set in; and we each kept
much alone. | took long walks in
the warm dusk, thinking Of Leonard,
Clifford, and what was to be my
future life. The fragrant heated wind
blew in my face, and seemed like gen
tie hands trying to comfort me, to tell
me that someway it would come out
right. Then again ! would rise before

HARPER,
AINSNITH, MILAN
MAY Be YANKEES

CHICAGO. Aug. 2S.-One OF the
biggest deals in the history OF base
ball may be clinched here in the
near future il Colonel Rupert, presi-
dent of the Yankees, can swing II
with the aid of President Ban John
son, of the American League.
The deal calls for the transfer OF
the cream of the Washington team.
Pitcher Walter johnson, Outfielder
Clyde Milan. Catcher Eddie Ainsmith,
and left-handed Pitcher Haryr Har-
per, to the Yankees. Colonel Rup-
pert stands ready to pay 100000 for
this quartet, OF which by far the
greatest proportion would go for
Walter johnson.
Rupert has been in several con-
ferences with johnson lately, and he
repeatedly said he thought the league
should give him some help in building
up the team. 1t is known that John
son is keenly disappointed over the
showing of the Yankees this year,
especially at a time when they ap-
peared to have a hold on the New
York baseball public as they never
had before during the era that Frank
Farrell owned the club.
Waivers have been asked on Les
lie Nunamaker and, if they are
granted, he will be sent to the Amer
lean Association.

WHITE SOXEXPECT
TO BETTER STAND
IN STAY At HOME

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-"We have 4
three-game lead today and expect 10
better this before we start East for
the final battle for the American
League flag. said Clarence Rowland,
manager Of the White Sox today.
81 am more than satisfied with the
showing OF my players and am conf
dent that when We start East we will
better the mark made on the last
Journey when we won nj. and lost
eleven. =
The White Sox stay here for some
time. We will open a series with st.
Louis. We play the Browns FIVE
games. the Tigers two and the Indians
two, then the Tigers two again and
the Browns a single contest before
September is.
In the East we open up the cam
paign with a three game series before
we tackle the Red Sox. l figure we
can take the running In fine shape"
Faber, Cicotte, and Russell have
been going along at a fine clip for
the White SoX. and Rowland Is en-
couraged at the three straight wins
recorded for Cicotte in his last three
starts According TO Rowland his
team is doing all chat could be eX-
pected.
Rowland figures he will be able to
make a better showing against the
Browns. Tigers, and Indians than he
has before this season. and that the
pennant will lodge in Comiskey Park
this fall.
The White SON seem to have de-
veloped an attack worthy Of the name
lately. The pitchers have been going
along at q great clip and the team
has been making enough runs to win.
