BALJ7M. Or.. Nov. 10. (Special.) In tha closing hours of the meeting of th Oregon Development Zjeagua tonight tha convention pledged every member to bring about construction of good roads rider the terms of the recently adopted amendment to the constitution of the state, and to secure legislation allowing the use of convict labor in road construc tion. The Legislature Is also called upon to establish an Immigration bureau to work In conjunction with the officers of the Immigration service In securing Immi grants to Central Oregon. Tin project was first sprung In an acMreea by Colonel E. Ilofer. editor of the Salem Journal, and met with a cor dial reception. This afternoon It was Indorsed In an address by Charles H. Carey, chief counsel for the Northern Pacrria Railroad. The results for a greater Oregon from the meeting Just dosed are not expected to be Immediate, but It Is declared that the convention will give a greater Ira reins to progreaa in trie state than any similar convention In the history of the commonwealth. The (00 delegates who have been here during the sessions, more than half of them remaining to the fin ish tonight, have been thoroughly In structed In the value of community ad vertising and the best methods of pro cedure. Kxperta In that line of work have ta.ked Incessantly In detailing the -uita ox years 01 experience, presi dents of colleges have told of the value of advertising that Oregon has the great est eollrsw population per capita In tha l'nltl etatee. and th representatives of the agricultural colleges have told how to make use of such Institutions In testing soils and securing exact Infor mation for scientific farmers who want to come to Oregon. Facta and. Figures JDrmandcd. No general plan of advertising will be the result of the work f the convention beyond the emphatic declaration In fa or of exact figures snd other statis tics, rather than "wordy Inducements" which will not bear Investigation. Community advertising has been the entire theme of the convention. Klfty elKhl towns of Oregon have been rep resented during the convention and their delegatea are now ready to begin securing settlers for their own towns and communities. Such towns will raise and apend their own money, and the result Is expected to be that every other town will have to hustle In order to hold Its own.

The great ques tion with the Immigration Bureau Is how to get these people disseminated through tbe L'nited States and to relieve the con gestion on the Atlantic seaboard. So. while Oregon will be promoting Its own interests. It will be aiding l.i solving an important problem that la becoming more serious every year. President W J.

A nominating committee consisting of J. H. tiwlnn. of Pendleton; f. C. r'reeman. of Eugene, and C. K. Peck. of Marshfield. was sent out to select a list of officers for the ensuing year. The following list was reported to the convention and unanimously In dorsed : President. Theodore B. Wilcox. Port land: secretary. C. C. Chapman. Port land; vice-president for tbe Willamette Vail pros Wlngate. Astoria; vice-presluent for Southern Oregon. W. E. Colvlg. Med ford: vice-president for Central Ore gon. William lianley. Burns; vice-president for Eastern Oregon. Colonel J. H. Haley. Pendleton. Resolutions were passed calling- on the next Legislature to establish an Immigration bureau to produce statis tics and literature and work In con Junction with the Government In pro curing Immigrants. Other resolutions pledge support to the Kound-Up at Pendleton, tbe Astoria centennial, and construction of good roads. The resolution concerning roads urges that every delegate to this con vention be instructed: "First To urge upon the Legislators the importance of the enactment of laws authorizing the several counties of this state under proper restrictions and regulations to Issue bonds for the building of permanent roads, either up on the Initiative and at the sole ex pense of such county or counties, or In conjunction with the state, road districts or private donors; second To authorise the working of convicts In the quarries and .upon the public roads. "Third To authorise state aid to the extent of 3D to au I-er cent of the cost of all permanent roads. Fourth To authorize the appointment of a state highway commission and to tfotlne its powers and duties."

For the legisla tive committee which submitted minority and majority reports today, reached virtually a unanimous conclusion that the present law Is obnoxious. The only real difference between the reports Is that the minority would repeal the law, and the majority would amend it. The report of the majority against the repeal of the state sld law came as a surprise, for late last night It became known hey had passed a resolution rec ommending the repeal of the law. While the recommendation wae being put In form, however, tbe state aid side se cured reinforcements, snd defeated It. whereupon the other resolution wsa adopted. The minority aswrts that this wan done by stealth. They say they went home understanding that final action was to be deferred six hours. Comments Are Complimentary. Francis Hope, of the California De velopment Board, commenting on the work of the convention, said : I am Just coma from the Pacific Con gress at San Francisco and the Irrigation Congress at Puoblo and have attended many publicity meetings; but never was 1 at a meeting from which 1 received so much good and at which I found so en thusiastic a spirit as at this meeting of the Oregon Development League at Sa lem. It has been a revelation to me to see the wonderful spirit of unanimity that exists In all sections of the state and the successful way you are organised here in one body, which far exceeds any thing we hare in California. You have us beaten to a fnazxle. I was also astounded to know of the large sums of money which small com munities have raised and are raising to give their sections publicity In the East." A. L. Sommers, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, Ttcoim, said: I consider the meeting of the Oregon Development League one of the very best I ever attended. The talks were spirited. practical and to the point and will have a most wholesome effect In educating the Secretaries on commercial club methods. Every commercial club in the states of Oregon and Washington could have well afforded and, would have made a wise m-estraent to have sunt their secretary this meeting." The convention closed tonight with a banquet, at which C. N. MeArthur was toastmastrr. The convention will meet next year at Astoria.

The subject was debated all afternoon bitterly and wlth a tinge of personal feeling that made the convention the mo acrimonous in the history of good roads convent lonex M. J. Carrlgan, of Seattle, led the flght for the minority, and K. J. Dewart, of Spokane, chairman of the legislation committee, contended for the majority. The subject will be taken up again tomorrow and voted upon at 10 o'clock. The decision will mean the retention or defeat of the law, for the Legislature In all probability will act In accord with the recommendation of the association. So bitter. Indeed, wae the flffht that early this morning it wag started by the question of credcntlale-one that has never before been raised, in the associa tiona conventions, whether It should be a mass meeting, or whether only ac credited representatives should have the voting privilege. The report aa adopted permit all to vote who have paid their admission fee aa members of tne as sociation. Debate to Be Renewed. Vhen the two reports of the Legisla tive committee were under consideration. Judge Ronald, of Seattle, offered a sub stitute which embodied a principle upon which both agreed, and provided for a rUXjO.Oro bond lesnte to build state highways-. This precipitated a flood of smaller resolutions and all will be taken up for final disposition tomorrow morning. The automobile committee made a I unanimous report urging the Legislature to enact a law levying a tax of $1 a , horsepower on all automobiles, 90 per cent of thfs tax to be turned over to the county for the road Improvement, Senator Brook, of Tennessee, state lec turer for the Farmers' Union: C. & Bar rett, of Atlanta, Ge.

Shifting; Responsibilities. OLYMflA. Wash.. Nov. 30. (Special.) Few know that In Washington In 1890 the state was caring for only C40 Insane, criminal and feeble-minded per sons In Its Institutions; that In 1900 tbe abnormal population had Increased to 1640 and that the census of the state Institutions on September 30, 1910, show 4:02 Inmates. The Board of Control has placed those figures In Its report for the-Le(rlslature and In conjunction with the Information will ask the 1!11 legislature to provide more wisely for the Increased demands upon the state Institutions than did the Legislatures In the past. According to the Federal census fig tires for the State of "Washington there were 349.390 people here In 1890 and In 19"0 the population had jumped to 618,- 103. while the 1. 000.000 mark Is ex pected to be passed In 1910 when the figures are made public. Taking these figures as a basis for comparison In 1S90 there wis one abnormal person for every S46 persons In 1890; one for every 316 In 1900 and If the estimate for 1910 Is correct the taxpayers are caring for one in every 23S persons. Just what causes the big increase Is not known, but the board believes that many of the counties are forcing the state to care for persona who should be taken care of by the counties. At the present rate of Increase there Is plenty of trouble ahead for the Board of Control, as the population of these Institutions Is Increasing so rapidly that the Improvements authorised by the Legislature from time to time hardly cares for the newcomers and as a result the board Is never able to bring the Institutions thoroughly up to date as they should be. r Toll Gafobs, Inc.
