State Supreme
Court ReOpenns
Road Bond Case

The supreme court opened the
way for a rehearing of the Clacka-
mas county road bond case, Tues
day afternoon when it annulled IA
previous order denying a petition
for a rehearing in this case.
The case, an original mandamus
proceeding brought by W. p. Haw-
ley of Oregon City to test out the
validity of the S1.7O0,O00 bond is
sue voted by Clackamas county for
good roads, is said to be parallel in
many respects to the Union county
road bond case in which the su-
preme court held the bonds to b.
valid, declaring the six per cent
limitation provision under when
the issue was made to be effective
without additional legislation.
In It's previous action on the
Clackamas county bond issue the
court held that tn issue was inval-
id in that it exceeded the four per
cent limit provided in the act of
1913. The latter act raising the
limit of road bond Indebtedness to
per cent, the court held, required
additional legislation in order to
make the provision. operative.
Since the decision in the Clack-
amas county case there has been
a change in the personnel of the
court as well as a change in the
stand of Justice Bean on the ques-
tion which is directly reflected in q
reversed attitude of the court OF
the bond question.

Imagine, if you can, the bitter
disappointment to be felt by those
Salem boys and girls who awake
Saturday morning to find an empty
stocking.
Consider, for moment, how
completely disillusioned those chill
dren will be who have written In
Vulnerable letters to the supposed
ly all-satisfying Santa Claus.
The Salvation Army asks you to
do this. Further it asks you to
help it fight agau5, the empty
stocking and the cheerless day
which will follow in its wake. The
Salvation Army cannot function
without funds.
More potatoes, fruits, canned
goods, and toys are needed if the
unfortunate families of Salem are
to be helped, Ensign Roe said this
morning. More gifts from "good
fellows" must be forthcoming II
everybody is to be remembered.
