That being the case, this proposition would take every dollar from the road districts.

I would regret to set the road districts funds reduced hut it most certain to be brouizht about by the "Bingham Law" or the tax limitation measure now written intn th constitution of the state of Oregon. To be fair, I will say that 1 hardly think these gentlemen understood their. own proposition. It appears evident that they had designs on the funds of the different road dis tricts, but I do not believe they intended to take it all. Whether or not the measure would nv.

Taking it for granted that Charles Evans Hughes has been elected pres ident, most of the Berlin newspapers' published statements explaining why. The Vossiscbc Zietung attributed the supposed" result to the Wilson foreign policy. The Berliner Tageblatt asserts that President. WUson teas. defeated not because of his foreign- policy bat for other reasons." 1 This paper says that the American people' approved the Wilson atitude toward' the war.

The' Targes Zeitung "says that the election of Hughes means that the money powers are now controlling the United States government. The general impression is that the elction of Hughes means a high tariff, a militaristic imperialistic policy and a sterner atitude on foreign relations.

Gives Reasons For the Recent Course Taken By the County Court. Editor of Democrat, In your Issue of Friday, October 3rd, 1916, there-appeared a wriletip of a road meeting held in the Schmitl-llunt building in the city of Albany.

As the account of this meeting, in tin Herald, contained the report of a committee and a resolution reflecting on some action) of the county court, I ask ipace for a few comments, It will be remembered by the pub-lie that at llie October term of the county court a petition was presented praying that a proposition for road pavement he placed on the ballot at the late election. The petition was rejected by the court and the reasont for doing so were ct up in a majority order and signed by Commissioner J. I). Irvine and myself, is a matter of record. A this order wa published I will not go over the samr ground by reciting any cf the reason: given ai that time for rejecting the petition, except in one particular.

However as so much ha been said on llu subject it might be well lo inquire what the adoption of the measure might have meant. Briefly stated, the petition called for the paving of a system of roads lead iug out of Albany in seven different directions. With it was filed a map about two feet wide by three, feet in length giving the outline of the roads When we force a question on the people at the polls and expect them to decide it with their ballots they should be given every opportunity of informing themselves upon the subject, Tim we could not do and to allow the matter submitted hurriedly we felt would be taking advantage of the people and depriving them of their right, In order to give the public the chance to familiarize themselves Willi this proposition or measure, it would have been necessary that every voter have 'a copy of this map with all the data that went with it. Just what the cost would have been for printing and mailing over ten thousand of these map, with description and specifications, I am not prepared to say In any event lack, of time prevented the proper presentation of the matter before the voters, The petition provided for the levying of a stationary lax, of two mills extending over a period of five years. I uppose with the intention of raising a certain amount of revenue each year.

That would have been very unwise ir my opinion as well as very danger-ous, for the reason a fixed levy would raise one amount of money this year and another amount next year, and so on. We know what two mills are now but could we tell what they niigh' be at the end of five years. When arrived at that point I imagine wc might find ourselves in the position of the man In the hotel when informed by the waiter that a certain dish was "bean oup." he exclaimed: "I know it might have been bean soup, hut what is It now?" The assessment roll is ever changing. In the past it has doubted in one year. It has nearly, if not quite, trebled in five years.

It could fall away in five years. Time might necessitate a great change, 1 will now refer to other features of this bill. It also provided for the taking of one mill and a half from all road districts of the county and putting this money in this certain chain of roads. I wish to say here, that in my opinion the lime is near at hand THREE ALBANY PEOPLE HAVE JOINT BIRTHDAYS Today Is the birthday of three resi dents of the neighborhood In the south end of Washington street.
