BOND ISSUE FOR ROADS
URGED
Mass Meeting of Good Roads
Enthusiasts Request Issue
of 100000

Declaring for general cam
paign of road improvement in all sec
tions of the county and approving the
three-year program outlined by the
good roads committee, between zoe
and 800 road enthusiasts from all
sections of Gem county adopted reso-
lutions urging the county commission
ers to call a bond election at the ear
liest possible time to vote upon the
proposition to issue 100000 in bonds,
to be issued as needed, and also re-
questing the county board to levy the
maximum amount allowed by law for
the contraction of roads during the
continuance of the road build pro-
gram, at mass meeting held in
Commercial Club rooms Thursday
evening.
The entire board of Commissioners
were present to learn the sentiments
of their constituents, and after lister
ing to the discussions there was no
chance for doubt that Gem county
taxpayers want road improvement and
are willing to foot the bill.
The attendance was large and the
interest of most earnest character.
Delegations from Ola, Sweet, Montour,
Letha and the Emmett county were
present. Probably half of those pre-
sent were farmers, and it is significant
that the motion to increase the bond
issue from 100000 to 100000 was
made by rancher.
The resolutions adopted are in brief
as follows:
That the maximum tax allowed by
law for road construction be levied
That the county commissioners SUBJ
NIT to the people of Gem county a
to issue $4,000 in bonds,
said bonds to be sold in blocks as
needed, fund 80 raised to be expended
for road construction under the super
vision and direction of the commits
sioners.
That general road supervisor be
by the county. =
The road program suggested by the }
roads committee provide that the first
construction work be the Montour-Ola
-oad and the main road on the EN-
nett bench. /,

A BLOW AT CITIZENSHIP.

~ HIEF Of the obstacles to good citizenship declares
~ Viscount Bryce, historian and diplomat are ndo-
ence selfish personal interest and party spirit The first
is the most common the second the most noxious, the
third the most subtle
The Legislature, in passing the bill replacing the Aus
raan secret ballot system with the straight party ticket
elevated partisanshp above citizenship placed prem
um upon ignorance and Incidence and put selfish per-
sona interest above public welfarewth the object Of
restoring governmentby political machine.
The Australian ballot law is an integral part of the
Oregon System which shattered political control of the
state by corrupt political ring 1t requires selection and
intelligence in voting and makes for better government
and better citizenship.
and the substitution Of the party ballot which has enabled
Tammany to perpeuate its control in New York City and
the republican ring its throttle grasp on Philadelphia
and which has made political reform almost impossible in
many eastern states.
The aim and object Of the politicians is to prevent
independent voting and scratching of tickets by taking
advantage of the Incidence of ignorant and careless vo-
ers by presenting the temptation to mark place in
stead Of 1t would also aid the "Voe Straight"
slogan OF the bosses in their appeal to prejudice party
passion
The republican party has an overwhelming majority
in Oregon Its control of the state is nowhere threatened
Once in while democrat is elected upon his personal
ty solely because his election is adudged to mean bet
ter service than the election of his opponent AS mat
ter Of fact as far as state politics 90 there should be no
partsanshp than there is in civic affairs-only
national issues separate the two parties but parsanship
enables the politicians to control government therefor it
is fostered
To be consistent the legislature should also have pro-
vided similar smplfed method for voting upon refer
endum and initiative measures whereby the voter could
mark sngle yes no for all measures on the ballot
There is just much logic in passing up the merits of
measures as of candidates.
Governor 0lcott places citizenship above PARTISAN
ship in yetong this vicious measure--which makes the
nf
ecutve courageous enough to the party from the
fool leadership of political reactonary bourbons
that learn nothing repeated repudaton at the polls
at the polls.

PANDoRA,S BOX CLOSED.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL predicted when the special
of the legislature summoned that Governor Ol-
colt opening PandoraS box Of troubles--and the
result verified it. The people breathe freer now that the
session is adjourned
The legislature was called for half dozen emergency
measures 1t proceeded to create 81 emergencies and act
them into law 1t voted away millions without providing
any way to raise money except by increasing the already
burdensome taxation 1t smashed wde-open the state
highway program by adding enough new roads to bank
rupt the commission 1t enacted very meritorOus
measures and some vicious legislation.
When both houses threw down the bars and permit
ted the introduction of any kind of legislation instead of
confning themselves to the program they were called
upon to enact enough legislation to swamp ordinary
session was thrown in for consideration Most of it was
lconsidered and jammed through without delberation
Much will probably be found defective upon close examn
alton and receive the executive axe.
S100000OO road bond bill was passed to complete
the highway construction program The only criticism
that can be made that this large expenditure auth
Orzed with the emergency clause attached when it should
have been either referred to the people for approval or
left open for referendum if desired
The settlement of the fish and game commission con-
troversy will not be satisfactory to recacitrant sports
men, who promise to continue their warfare upon the
but should be satisfactory to the people,
all elements are represented The enlarged commission
should have chance to make goodf0r the public is tired
Of the chickering's
The controversy over payment of royalties on patent
pavement consumed very large part of the egislative
session. and resulted the defeat of all measures design
ed prevent payment largely because such legislation
tied the hands of the attorney general and highway COM
MISSION who have not completed their investigation of
the matter
The session was marred by vicious and uncalled for
attacks upon the governor who was abused by certain
grandstandng legislators for keeping his hands off and
letting the legislature work out its problems. Had
he attempted to interfere he would have been as round
abused by the same persons as dictator The more al
the executive their only safeguard against legislative
folly.
