I r 4- iliunn --m- aiijUUjvu rail's cost a ci'iu aim a nan iv iiucu txia-n a ton mile. People kick at the cost. The average good Oregon wagon road transportation costs 25 cents a ton mile. The great majority of Oregon roads are not good and cost from 00 cents to $1 a ton mile. A hard sur face road of macadam construction costs eight cents for transportation a ton mile, yet it is only the farmer who mires his empty wagon when he tries to go to town in the Oregon winter that kicks at the cost. The figures just given were obtained after careful com putation from every section of Oregon by the Oregon Good Roads association. J he contrast in cost on good and bad roads has given the association more courage to continue its fight for better built highways in this state. .Railroad! rates make much diiierence in cost to consumers and prot its to producers. Thus, says the (Jood Roads association, the increased transportation cost of bad roads takes money from the farmer's pocket and adds to the price of living without profit either to the producer or the consumer; since the mud swallows all the difference and never makes returns. When advocates of good roads from every section of Oregon went before the legislature last week they had the tremendous cost and the effective development restric-, tion of bad roads in mind. They were a little disappointed! when some of the legislators urged that each county could conduct its own road building without help. Jt was believ ed that broad-minded legislators would know that the very purpose of their gathering to make laws to work in unity lor the good of. the state and ior every county in the stale, and that concerted action in road building was perhaps more important and more essential than any other state activity. Governor Oswald West, in an interview, answered this mistaken idea on the part of the legislators when he said: "It is a notorious fact that the road work of (he state has been done in the past upon a crazy-quilt hit-and-miss plan, which gave no permanent relief from bad and oftentimes practically impassable roads. There can be no doubt concerning my desire for the inauguration of a sane and sensible system of building good, service able, permanent highways in the state of Oregon, f am heartily in favor of the construction of good roads and hope to see the time speedily arrive when the public high ways in this state will be second fo none. I trust, there fore, that the gentlemen who are now banded together for the promotion of the good roads movement will keep ever in mind the idea of the practical and economical, and that out ot their united efforts will come for Oregon a uniform and desirable system of public road building." , .It was necessary for Judge Lionel R. Webster, Dr. An drew G. Smith and others of the Good Roads association! to sar forcibly before the senate for the benefit of unin-j formed opposing senators, that the proposed highway, board and commissioner does not spend money obtained' either from state aid or by counties bonding for road build-' ing in counties, but the county authorities locate the roads and spend the money, while the state board and highway commission give advice and direction as to scientific coii-j struct ion of roads in each county. The vote that followed! showed that a majority of the senate were not slow in un-1 dcrstjmding, nor narrow in development ambition. When the highway board and commissioner bill was approved! great satisfaction was felt by the hundreds who had comt before the legislature, because it was on that bill that tin i whole great system of road making planned for Oroirop1 counties depended. It was thought then that to secure tlu passage of the other bills would not be difficult, because upon count if was found that a majority of Oregon legis lators stand for progressiveness and development and not for obstruction.
