CATTLE OWNERS
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE

The effort during the past year,
to accommodate cattle owners by al
lowing herding of cattle upon the
public roads under certain restric-
lions, has met with such small
measure of satisfaction that the
Board of Supervisors of Lynden
Township has decided to let the state
law take it's course, and all cattle,
horses, sheep. goats and hogs will be
barred from the public roads of Lyn-
den Township, except as it is neces-
sary to use the roads in moving such
animals from one place to another.
When cattle are driven to or from
pasture, they should be properly at
tended, to avoid complaint being
made to the poundmaster.
BY Order of the Board

Township Clerk

THE LEGISLATURES RECORD

There appears to he general
agreement that the session of the
legislature which closed at Salem
last Wednesday made an enviable
record.
Inspite of the fact that half Of
the time of the lawmakers was taxi
en- with measures affecting Multi
nomah county alone, II Is to the
credit of the session that II did not
neglect the interests Of the state at
large.
First and foremost the Legislature
gave the state new motor vehicle
code and endorsed the work of the
Highway Commission, strengthened
It's hands and made possible the
completion OF the highway program.
The only departure from routine
affairs was marked by the hill
strengthening the activities OF CO.
operative producers which will per-
NIT the growers to so handle their
affairs that they will not be at the
mercy Of the commission men. This
Is step which followed naturally
the agitation that has occupied the
attention OF Oregon ranchers for the
past year or more.
This step shows che power OF or
ganized effort TO educate the public
II is proof positive that In Oregon
tho problems OF the producers can
be solved by Oregonlans without the
interposition OF n bunch OF carpet
baggers for North Dakota or any
other state paradlng under any dis
guise.

SHALL COUNCIL BE SUSTAINED

Ontario is face to face with the
cleanup" problem. The city Coun.
ell and the city Health officer have
determined that the health regula.
ttons, enacted for the protection Of
all the people, be enforced. The
question IN the last analysis is; VIII
public opinion sustain them In their
fight for a cleaner and healthier
city?
The Argus has made II point to
discuss this question with num-
OF the heavy property owners. busl-
ness mon, and Just folks who live
In the residence districts,
without a single exception the
Judgment Of those interviewed Is:
Yes, the laws should be enforced"
Given, then, the support Of the
people generally aud II follows that

ALI, ALIKE

An Investigation on the part of
the Argus into the condition OF the
property Of r. H. Moore, who was
mentioned last week as the only
| one whom the council had, as yet
notified to cleanup property, re-
vealed that Mr. Moore has connect
ed every one Of his pieces Of pro-
perty with seweragel that the lots
of all his business property are I'm
good condition, especially about the
hotel, but that the property con
cerning which the order was issued.
was not cleaned whom the first order
was given by the city health officer.
This property is located on First
street at First avenue n. w. two
| blocks north of the City Hall
While Mr. Moore admits that he
is derelict in cleaning up this sec
tion of property, he maKes pro-
position which will set pace for
many others to follow, and one
which the council may well take
note or Mr. Moore declares his
willingness not only to follow but to
lead any movement for the cleanup
OF the city, and though he does
not say so, It Is natural that he eN-
pect the city Council to compel Of
other property owners to comply
with the laws In the same manner.
We believe this IL fair proposi-
tlon. Health laws are OF the most
Importance I'm this city particularly.
with the coming Of the warm wealth
or when flies breed so thickly not
pest spot for their propagation
should be permitted within the city
limits. especially II there are people
living close by.
In connection with the cleanup
notices given last week The Argus
would make this statement: no mat.
ter who II is, II the city health
committee gives a written notice TO
any person TO cleanup, that person
will be named. Everyone will be
treated alike. There was no desire
on the part OF the Argus 10 make
an exception OF Mr. Moore who as
a matter Of fact has shown a great
er willingness to observe the regula-
tlons than many other property |
owners, save In the case mentioned, |
and concerning which he acknow-
ledgos his derellctlon
The publicity which was given
last week to the councils detcrmln-
alton to enforce the health regula-
lions has already had salutary Of

formal notice and are cleaning up
their property; others have ordered

WHO WILL nENEEIr

The men who own property In
the city should be the leaders In
any effort for the bettcrment of the
city. No one will gainsoy the fact
that q clean city Is much to be pre-
rered to an unsanitary one. Pro-
perty values actually will be en-
HANGED. by cleanliness and therefore
those who own property, for purely
selfish Vreasons should be anxious
tu clean up.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1921-03-03

the Council should see to It that
the law is enforced uniformly, that
everyone be treated alike.
The Council has taken action, 1t
has announced that It is to require
sewer connections. This should
have been done years ago. Now let
IL be seen that when the Council
issucs such a statement that
through the enforcement officers II
make good it's determination.

FAITH IN ONTARIO

There are many ways OF showing
faith in a city II Is particularly
the function of those who are en-
deavoring to build up a community
to manifest their belief that the city
is to grow, and to do so in sub
stantial manner
Generally speaking there is no bet
ter indication OF faith IN town
than investments in residence or
business property. II possible every
business should be located In pro-
perty belonging to the owner OF the
business. There are many reasons
which justify this contention. The
only real argument that can be rails
ed against II is that the business
lacks the capital necessary to the
purchase, or that greater returns
may be had by employing capital in
merchandise than In property
II is true that only a small pro
portion OF Ontario's business men
own their own business property. In
many cases the goods In the stores
are OF greater intrinsic value than
the buildings In which they are
located Since a home is necessary
for the business II II but reasonably
fair to suppose, that az general
proposition the business ought to be
able 10 finance a home OF lts own.
In Ontario there are only ~ men
In business who own entirely or In
part the structures In which their
business is located This, is entirely
too small number. II initiates
against progress In the community |
II ~ a source OF dissatisfactlon all |
round. When improvements are
contemplated too few are affected
and II they intorposc objection poo-
pie are prone TO believe that they
are doing 30 hold back progress be-
cause II will affect them financially.
The mon who have manifested
sufficient faith In community TO
invest heavily In lts property are In
titled 10 consideration; not on the
basis OF their holdings; but on the
basis Of their faith, on the other
hand II they have gambled In pro-
perty and are holding Il merely for
the purpose OF taking profits due TO
the increases In vaiue which they
expect the general public to create,
then the question Is one Of a diff
ferent category entirely,
Ontario has somo very definite
problems TO solve. and they involve
financial obligations. The question
lf taxation Is a serious one In this
rs In every other community. The
question Is serious here because the
heavily taxed property Is In the
hands OF but a few, They are af- {
ected more than men should be In
proportion 10 the size OF the city
The practical solution OF the pro- '
'lem is a wider division OF owner {
