Refute Argument
Against Bonds

Opponents of the road bond bill
contend that the proposed bond issue
will become an added burden to the
general taxpayer. AS complete ans
wer and refutation of this argument
the legislative good roads committee
has Incorporated the following state
ment as a part of its argument in
support of the bond bill which will
be published in the official state
pamphlet
1--WE have ascertained from the rec
ords of the office of the secretary
Of state that the income from the
present quarter-mill tax is $4,000
per annum; that the income from
auto licenses based upon the present
number of automobiles at the increas-
ed license rate, effective August /,
will be not less than $4,000 per
annum to be used in paying interest
and principal of bonds. The above
funds will be sufficient not only to
pay the interest and the principal
of the $6,OOO,OO0 bonds authorized
by this act, but will also pay the in
terest and principal of the s1,S19,-
2S0.55 in bonds authorized to meet
the government road appropriation.
After paying these bonds there will
be surplus of at least $2,793, ,4O2.66.
Since 1911 the increase in the num-
ber of automobiles in the state of
Oregon has been 33 1-3 per cent per
year. With the completion of good
roads this increase will naturally be
larger. However, we have not taken
any increase into account but have
based our figures on the present num-
ber Of automobiles.

FIRE At FARRELuS SATURDAY

Shortly before noon on Satur-
day the Fire Department was
called out for the second time
this year. The alarm was from
the home of G. F. Farrell where
the fire had been discovered in
the barn. The building was a
mass of lames, practically, be-
fore the fire was discovered by
the children playing in the yard
and it was impossible to save
anything but a few sets of har-
ness. Fortunately all the stock
had been turned out into the
pasture a short time before.
The department responded
promptly and in a few minutes
had water playing on the resi-
dence, which was saved with
little damage, altho badly
scorched. The work of the
bucket brigades before the
water was turned on, was an i'm
poYtant factor.
The loss, partly covered by
insurance, is a hard one on Mr..
Farrell, and consists of a large
barn and ice house and his Ford
automobile which was bought
new last spring. Numerous
small tools and farming equip
ment was also lost and it is
practically impossible to give
definite figures. His household
goods were also damaged to
some extent in removing them
from the building.

He glanced down half angrily. Her
eyes were bordered with tears, and, as
he watched, one large drop quivered
in the moonlight and rolled down her
cheeks. In an instant he was sitting
beside her, her head pillowed or his
shoulder.
"Oh, you mustn't see me any more"

He raised her face to his.
"And do you think that will make
any ~difference"
Eyes, it WILL" Her hand rested on
his arm. IF you were only like people
1 know, things would be all right. But
you're not, you're rich"
"You mustn't talk like that, DEAR"
he said softly. Il love you; that's all
that matters"
Through a veil of tears she smiled
up at him.
"And you care, no matter what I
ann" she asked happily.
"Yes more than all the world"
Hastily she wiped the tears from
her eyes.
"Im glad, Ned" she announced, and
her tone was a caress, because I'm
not a stenographer, after ALL"
The expression On his face betokened
bewilderment.
"Then why did you tell m that3"
he asked wonderingly.
because l wanted to test you, dear,
and you've proven true to my ideal of
you."
They both smiled happily, and the
obliging moor disappeared behind an
equally obliging cloud.

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND
MODERN PROBLEMS.

THE life we are able to live, of
L psece, security and decency,
wherein property is respected, vir-
tue exalted and human life is safe,
we owe to Jesus Christ. All that is
fair ind ennobling in III modern
civilization we must trace, soon or
late, to the manger of Bethlehem.
The Sunday school recognizes it's
obligation as we'll as its privilege
to give to the state as we'll as the
individual, the messages that en-
able both to enjoy the privileges
above suggested.
The Sunday school is largely aid.
Ing In the process Of chrlstianiz.
Ing tho national conscience, the
substituting Of the social interest
for the Individual. Graft and cor
ruption in public life or in vast
corporations begin in the tendency
to subordinate public service to
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Against
this there is a growing revolt. Gov
eminent and position are not for q
favored few and the Sunday school
is teaching that Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself" Tho
sovereignty Of Jesus will transform
any country. Again the Sunday
school is one of the great means
of humanizing our social organiza-
ton. The disregard for life and
property in u modern society is
appalling. Carelessness, greed and
exploitation are reaping a harvest
of human life, %squalor, disease and
penury that ought to touch and
arouse every heart. The reign of
Jesus confers a new value upon
life. In His Kingdom the brutality
Of the social organism will disap-
pear If he is obeyed. Selfshness
and competition which is the root
Of most of the strife will give way
to cooperation and brotherhood.
Already we r learning that the
interest Of n affects the mass and

and armies, that makes a nation

pie. Long after militarism and lust
for trade and land have faded, the
Babe of Bethlehem will reign and
rule.
Finally the Sunday school is ex.
alting u estimate of the value
and significance Of childhood. So
cially we often despair of doing
real things with adults and turn to
the beginnings Of life. The Sunday
school has a unique and a distinc.
tive share in the work Of capturing
the next generation and through It
Of establishing a new common.
wealth. Its work has to do with
the destinies Of the nations Of time

SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

School work was resumed on Mon.
day morning. Neither teachers nor
pupils seem to be the worse off for the
weeks vacation.
The first grade had not a single case

attendance but had seven cases of
hardness.

The annual declamatory will be
given on Friday evening, April 9th.

BY EARL REED SlLvERS.


Eleanor Rileigh had been at the sea-
shore for exactly thirteen days. Her
vacation was rapidly approaching Its
close and Eleanor was troubled. She
did not want to go back again to the
hustle and hustle Of the city; she want
ed to stay at Seacliffe, where she could
see Ned Stanley every morning, noon
and night. For Eleanor had begun to
care very much for Ned, and in her
heart of hearts she admitted to herself
that she hoped Ned had begun to care
for her.
1t had been a wonderful week. Dur
ing the first part of her stay at Sea-
cliffe Eleanor had simply sat around
the hotel porch, dressed in the proper
gowns, doing the proper things in the
proper way. But just a week ago Ned
had appeared, and after that things
were different.
Eleanor gazed thoughtfully owe the
