GOOD ROADS Illl.L. Is Attacked By Attorney General Crawford. SALEM, Or., Feb. 8. 'To create a fund of over MO, 000,000 In tea years, to be expeuded entirely as the governor and his appointees may direct, with unlimited power to ap point commissioners, assistants, en gineers, and fix their salaries; to have the work all done by day's work, If for any reason it may seem desirable. "It enables counties to reimburse .themselves for road moneys out of proceeds of sales of state bonds; compels the taxpayer to raise $2, 000,000 aunually for interest alone; It does not create a board of the gov ernor, secretary of stute and Btate treasurer, or of any other state of fices, to supervise the expenditure of the money, but leaves it solely with 1 the governor, "The engineering work is not to be done through the state engineer's office, but unlimited authority is granted to employ outside engineers and fix their compensation." The foregoing are the effects which, in the opinion of Attorney General Crawford, the several acts entering into the composition of the proposed highway laws will produce, and because he believes that they will repose too much power in a single man the governor and be cause in other respects they are not wise and judicious, he is opposed to them. "I am in favor of good highways," says Attorney-General Crawford, "but the laws proposed on the sub ject are in my mind in some res pects unwise. Ono of my objections is that there are four separate acts, each covering a portion of the plan for road building, when one act would be ample and its provisions could be made to harmonize. One act provides a state highway com missioner to he appointed by the governor with a salary of $5,000 a year, and he to appoint one assist ant, with the approval of the govern or, at a salary of $2,500, and as many engineers, clerks, stenograph ers and other assistants as the gov ernor and the commissioner may de sire and their salaries can be fixed by the governor and commissioner and paid from the fund, thus placing the whole matter entirely in the hands of one man, namely the gov ernor. One-man power has never proved satisfactory. Another act cre ates a fund of $20,000,000 to be raised on bonds. $2,000,000 a year for 10 years, and In addition two thirds of all license taxes on motor vehicles. Tills :wl reduce the state's regular income to that ex tent and it must be made up by di rect taxation. Also the several counties of the state are supposed to raise the same amount as the state at large, which will be $20,000,000. and one-half the amount of license taxes on motor vehicles, making a sum total to he expended under the sole supervision of the governor in 10 years, over $40,000,000. It seems to me this Is very unwise, consid ering the frailty of human nature and the great temptation it will af ford to profit at the state's expense. "Another defect aptiears In the provisions allowing a county to ex pend a certain amount of nionoy and then draw on the state tor a similar amount, and not providing for the expenditure of the money so drawn A county could expend its own road money and then Reimburse itself out of the money raised from the sale of state bonds. "The commissioner is required to advertise for bids for road work and then Is authorized to reject all bids and do the work by day labor, if he wishes so to do. "The Interest on $40,000,000 a year at 5 per cent Is $2,000,000 to be raised from the taxpayers an nually In excess of which they are now paying, which Is more than Is now raised for all purposes. "Is It wise to place so much pow er In the hands of one man. and to more than double the yearly taxes, without even creating a sinking fund for the payment of the bonds?"

K. the practice of our attorney-general In providing places for relatives at the public teat, it might be dangor ous to place so much patronage with a governor," was the sarcastic retort made by Governor West today, when seen in relation to an Interview given out by Attorney-General Craw ford, opposing the proposed good roads bill. 'The attorney-general says he is opposed to the bill because It gives the appointive power to the gover nor, and says the highway depart ment should be controlled by a broad," continued the governor. "In auswer to this I will say that if the highway board proved no more ef ficient In conducting the affairs of the highway department than did the board having charge of our Carey act irrigation projects, and of which Attorney-General Crawford Is a member and the legal advisor, It would not accomplish much. "Mr. Crawford should shut off his legal opinion machlntry for at least two weeks and devote a little time to framing some constructive legis lation. A desirable citizen is one who tries to do something for the public, not one who sits around and whines and enrps at others. We should organize a "Can't Do it' club in this state, so that all of the kick ers and fault-finders could get to gether and enjoy themselves."
