It they can be made ,to see what Ameri canism can mean to themselves and their children, half the battle will be won, and they are seeing It. As a rule the foreign women are little accustomed to think for them selves. The man is absolute master of home and destiny. Probably the first result of the woman's promul gation of her new Idea will result in a beating for her. But right here the courts step in. No nan can abuse his wife in this country and get away with it for very long. When she learns that the courts will pro tect her. she has taken her first step. Having had set before her the beauties of a country which offeTs everything to her for herself and her children, and having learned that the husband who tries to inter fere with her will receive prompt punishment at the hands of the courts, this foreign woman will have courage to demand the freedom, the safety, the opportunity which Amer ica provides. Because she is inherently ambi tious for her children she will grasp eagerly the thing which offers the (best future for them, insisting also that the father Join forces -with her in obtaining it. Against this combined influence of the home and the Americanization work outside the home, in club and factory, the doctrines of anti-Amer icanism will beat themselves in vain Summer Time is Bluhill Cheese Time The Best Fancy Cheese Made - KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW There appears to be fair evidence that the allies and the United States Intend to back up the Omsk govern ment and straighten out the kinks In Siberia, having decided to loan the inter-allied commission administer ing the trans-Siberian railroad $20,- 000,000 for operatng expenses. On the other hand there is a chance of the bolsheviks In Northern Russia getting their wish: .They state that they want to be left alone to work out their own salvation; but judg ing from reports that will not be accomplished until the "brains" of that part of Russia are annihilated. There is a communication in this issue from Judge C. G. Gillette, re garding the proposed one mill tax to provide market roads. This measure will be a direct benefit to the farmer and should receive the unanimous approval of every voter. Lift the handicap from the producer by giv ing him good roads over which to get his produce to market. 'Nobody knows anything about us. or seems to care," say the Ukraine, 'but we got sense enough to know that, the Russians are fools. Our only hope lies In securing recogni tion and aid from America." Thus the small nations, one and all, are looking to America for "deliver ance." Recruiting in the army has ibeen resumed for all branches for the purpose of securing those 50,000 men to replace 'soldiers now In the service, and Uncle Sam offers to pay from $30 to $100 per month. A dispatch says New York is put ting cots in churches for people to sleep on. Some church-goers find the pews plenty good enough to sleep on. TIBET OPEN TO CHRISTIANS THE FTt'ME SOLUTION' The solution of the Flume con troversy, as roughly Indicated In re cent dispatches, is disappointing to those who stood for the unyielding application of the principles of self determination and tree access to the sea. Italy so obviously had gained all she required for her safety and interest, and the Jugoslavs so oh viously needed and deserved an out let to the Adriatic, that there was little sympathy in America for the Italian claims. The news that Flume is to go to Italy, after all, comes with a sort of disillusionment. It is the old story. A'bstract .principle does not triumph. There 1s compromise, for the sake of get ting Italy back to arise to wind up the 'war in due form and leave no split In the allied ranks. It may not 'be so toad, though, as it looks at first glance. Flume is to be administered by Italy.as a man datory under the league of nations for four years, aflter which it is to come definitely under Italian sover eignty. Thus, Italy gets, technically, what she made her big fight for. And thus, it Is to be feared, the Jugoslavs 'will l)e bitterly disap pointed. Officials Havs Invited Missionaries te Enter Freely Into the "For. bidden Land." Those disciples of Christ who Inter est themselves In foreign missions are aroused over sn Invitation coming to American disciples from Tibet, accord ing to the Boston Evening Transcript This land, occupying the "roof of the world," has heretofore been practical ly closed to all foreigners. That It has been so was due, so Tibet officials tell American disciples, to the Influence ef China. Now Tibet has thrown off Chinese control and one of Its first acts is to appeal for Christian missionaries. The disciples have a mlsilon station at Batang, one of the farthest west cit ies of China, nearly 8,000 miles op the Yangste river. A venturesome American doctor, sent out by the disciples, journeyed 18 days farther west,' getting Into Ti bet and into a city wherein disease in Its worst form, unattended and not un derstood, ravaged the people. The doctor set up an Impromptu clinic and dispensary. The relief was so great that one of the highest civic officials In all Tibet begged him to stay, or If be could not do so to return, build a hospital and ofliclnl Tibet would help him. Now the disciples argue that here Is s cull they are not at liberty to Ignore. Tlielr missionary society hus acted to this effect. An appeal has been nmde foi four families, two of them phy sician families, to go. It is said there are no hospitals, no churches, no schools, no Christian agencies of any kind In that country of 4,000.000 peo ple. American manufactured goods are beginning to reach Tibet and Scotch whisky has been there for a decado or two. ;HM MARKET KOA1W (Communicated) Among the measures to be voted upon at the, coming election June 3rd Is what is known as the "Market Roads Tax Bill." This -was a senate mil and during its passage was thoroughly gone over by every mem ber of the legislature, and by men who have given it much thought it is considered oue of the best pieces of constructive road legislation ever enacted by any legislature. l ne out provides lor a levy o a one mill tax on all taxable property in the state as shown by the proceed ing assessment and equalization thereof. In Josephine county the amount that would be raised and paid into the state would amount to about $9,000. The bill further pro rides that no county shall receive In excess of 10 per cent of the total amount raised in the state. For in stance Multnomah county would pay Into the state $365,000, the total amount raised in the entire state be ing approximately $1,000,000 "there fore, $265,000 of the amount Mult nomah county would pay in would be divided or apportioned to other counties In the state. It can readi ly be seen that the apportionment to' this county would be more than the county would probably want to take care of. The money raised 'by this one mill tax goes Into a special fund in the highway department an it will increase from year to year. The work of road construction will be under the supervision of the county court, but the state highway depart ment makes the surveys, establishes the grades and draws up the speci fications free of charge to the coun ties. As an example of how this plan would' work out in this county we will take the 'Murphy road district.! At a meeting of the taxpayers of the district they could vote to raise $1, 000, the the county would match this $1,000, and then reclve $2,000 from the state, making $4,000 to "be expended on a permanent road in thaLdistrlct. Of course the entire roaa would not be constructed in one year, but could be continued from year to year until it Is finally con structed, and what ever money a road district raised it would be matched by the county, both of which would be matched by the state and If the people In the farming dis tricts 'want permanent and all-year round roads this Is the way to get them and this county could get more each year than it pays into the state. The taxes provided for under this act would hardly be felt by the ordi nary taxpayer. If assessed for $5,- 000 by the county assessor, the amount to ibe paid Into the market road fund would foe $5 and en addi tional $5 to be levied 'by the county court. And by this additional tax every farmer will have a permane" road that he can travel and bring his produce to the market all the year round. This appropriation will be contin uous from year to year. Inasmuch as the state furnishes the surveys, establishes the grade and makes the plan and specifications free and the work done under the u per vision of the county court the taxpayers wll) get a dollars worth of road con struction for every dollar expended. It is a good bill and should re ceive the support of every voter In the county at the coming election on June 3rd. Remember and vote SI 6 Yes. C. O.
