motor car owners, and in this regard was typical of
the Pierce type of legislation.
He was one of the most virulent champions of
legislation to involve the state'in litigation against
patents which had been uniformly sustained BY the
highest federal courts, Thus by his agitation and
vote he helped fasten upon the state highway fund
of Oregon an expense for litigation and royalty
awards which probably will run far in excess of
S250,000.
The trouble with Mr.. Pierce as a legislator was
that his ideas were impractical. He introduced
more bills than any other senator in every legisla-
ture Of which he was a member Some had merit
and were enacted into law, but most of his meas
ures we're of that impractical type which if passed
would have occasioned wasteful expense aggregat.
ing huge sums.
In spite of his steady and heavy contributions
towards increasing taxes he constantly GRATED about
the h~ardships of the overburdened taxpayer. His
speeches were so frequent and eloquently fearful
that in spite Of his record he gradually won the rep
utation Of being the taxpayers friend. Had the
devil one-half his skill. in pathetic oratory he would
convince the Christian world that he was the cham
pion of religion. Internationally, but because oil
his wild and freakish ideas, he has proven to be one
Of the principal causes of increasing the tax burden
upon farmers and other owners of property.

~iSlative record. 1t will remind its readers again

relate to taxation. If the farmers of Oregon really
knew one-half of Mr.. Pierces legislative record or

WALTER PIERCE AND TAXES

For Walter Pierce to pose before farmer au-
diences as a sincere champion of tax reduction pre-
SCENTS SO comic a spectacle that his hearers would
boot him from the fair grounds were they familiar
with his tax record as State Senator.
Mr.. Pierce voted for all the measures that con-
tributed most TO increasing state taxes and intro
duced more of those same measures than any other
member Of the legislature.
He also introduced many bills which failed to
pass, but if they had been enacted, taxes would be
far higher than they are today.
Many salary increases given by the legislature
to state and county officers were voted for by Mr..
Pierce, although he was absent when many such
measures came to a vote and thus avoided going
on record in numerous specific instances.
he voted for nearly every appropriation bill
passed during all the time that he was in the legis-
lature, thus by his vote helping sanction practically
every necessary and unnecessary state expenditure.
his negative votes on appropriation bills were few
and Tor between; he was absent on roll calls for a
few and thus avoided going on record on those.
he bitterly opposed legislation the result of which
has been 10 relieve taxpayers from stupendous bur-
dens which they would have had to carry if he had
had his way. The most conspicuous instance OF
this has been his steady and determined opposition
to paying for state highways out of bond issues f.
nanced entirely from proceeds of automobile IL
eenses and gasoline taxes. His alternative was a
direct tax and he introduced measure after measure
for direct taxes to finance the state highway sys-
tenn. He finally succeeded in carrying one Of his
direct road tax bills, the market road bill, which
not only imposed compulsory state tax OF one mill
on each county regardless Of is desire TO build mar
ket roads by direct taxation, but in effect forces
each county to tax itself another mill as the only
means OF sharing any part Of the proceeds from
the levy OF the first mill. This two-mill tax was en-.
tirely unnecessary as provision could have been
made for financing the market roads from a part OF
the proceeds of the gasoline tax and automobile Ii.
cense fees.
tie was the author of numerous bills to establish
different varieties of costly regulation. II enacted
those bills would have created unnecessary boards
and commissions together with a steadily increas-
ing expense for administration.
He voted against the two principal consolidation
bills, for merging commissions, that we're evolved
by the 1919 legislature, and by his vote contributed
towards their defeat.
Although his vote could have carried the measure
repeating obsolete gasoline test law, repealed q
year latef, he voted against the measure, thus caus
Ing approximately 100000 extra and unnecessary
expense from purchasers of gasoline in Oregon dur
ing that year. While this was not a tax measure
the vote was a wasteful and unnecessary tax upor

On September 3 Walter M. Pierce declared him
self in favor of the compulsory school bill, and stat
ed that he would pote for it; on October IS, at Pen
dIeton, his brother Charles informed the protestant
ministers OF that city that Waiter does not support
the measure. That he mas forced into e~spouSing
it. Better stay put somewhere, Mr.. Pierce, for

Initial cost, length of service, cost of upkeep and length of time required to effect the necessary repairs are the vital factors in selecting a pav- ing material, according to Clifford M. Pickney, head of the Bureau of Engineering, New York City.
 And the consideration e2 all these factors has made the New York Bur eau of Engineering reach the deci- sion that asphalt gives the best serv- ice for city roads, where the traffic is heavy end practically constant, and where closing street, when a new pavement is required, for any length of time, lea6S to loss of time and money to the travelling public and causes great annoyance.
 ~We have found that when repairs are necessary in one of the streets, we. do not have to close that block to traffic in many instances, or if we do that we can repair a block a day and open it for traffic when the men finish their work at night, if the pavenents are of asphalt" says MT. Pinckncy. ''When the street is paved with another material, it is different. Then we have to close the block to traffic until we can remove the old end worn-out pavement and replace it with new.

less than half of what they formerly were when we had to tear up the old pavement and lay the new. There is also the factor of speed in making these repairs, which counts for much when such repairs are necessary on Fifth Avenue, or some other of the main arteries of the city.
 F'We repair 15o,o0o square yards of pavement every year with our asphalt heater at a saving of more than S20O,- 900. We cnn cover from 1,600 to 2,00o square yards of pavement sur face per day, so we are able to com plete all repairs in block before 1t is noticed we are working there. I know no other pavement material with which we can do the same"
 Every twenty-four hours 35o,ooo vehicles pass over the sheet asphalt pavement of Fifth Avenue, accord ing to MT. Pinckney. This pavement has to be cut open every forty hours in order to reach the city's great underground lines of communication. The base under the sheet asphalt sur face is now cement-concrete. Here after, however, MT. Pinckney an nounces, every opening in the pave ment will be restored with "black base," a course of mineral aggregate bound together with asphalt cement, forming with the surface an integral structure cemented with asphalt.

 Three-year-old-whisk in three minutes was the record set by the Buffalo, N. r., Health Commissioner, recently in demonstrating to the city council the tricks of the bootleggers. He mixed alcohol with fusel oil and burnt sugar and said the beverage that cost less than a dollar a quart to make was retailed from $5 up by bootleggers.
 To Paddock Wet Places
 Prohibition Director Ralph A. Day has decided to proceed against the New York City restaurants violating che Volstead law and intends to put paddock cn the doors of all places found vio!7Iing the law. He claims the larger restaurants, where the law is kept, are losing business to the small places where drinks are served with meals. He also claims that many visitors from outside New York City want liquor with their meals and quickly discover the location of the restaurants where it can be had, fail ing to patronize hotel dining rooms. MT. Day has also entered into an ar rangement with the owner of the building, in which prohibition head quarters are located, to prevent those interested in securing the release of liquor from bonded warehouses, from finding office and desk room in the building.
 Rushes Liquor Cases
 The Brooklyn bootlegger has found an active enemy in Federal Judge Harlan B. Howe, recently sent to Brooklyn from Vermont to help clear the calendar of Volstead cases. His first move was to dismiss old cases, where the witnesses could not be pro duced in court. His next was to in form the defendants attorneys that when a case was set for a certain date, it must proceed on that day and no adjournment would be granted. Many of the defendants, when they Saw the judge meant business decided to plead guilty and were fined It has been estimated that at the rate the trials are going more than one thousand liquor cases can be heard in two weeks.
