BID GOOD
All Oregon Awakening to Creat
Need for Them
MEETING HERE ON NOV. 20
Will be Addressed by Judge Scott,
President of the Oregon Guod
Roads Association
Oregon people arc realign more
,1 mere everv ,lv Ille necessity tar
and more every day the necessity for
building good roads. The demand
for better highways is becoming im
perative. Oregon s development is
going forward faster than ever before
and better roads must be had for
handling the Increase of traffic. Fur
thermore, those highwnys must b3
available for traffic at all seasons of
the year. It has long been said that
"necessity Ib the mother of inven
tion.". The present necessity de
mands that some avallablo means be
devised for building good roads.
United effort Is the first requisite for
securing these means. That Is the
object now being sought by tho Ore
gon Good Honds Association united
effort. The next thing will be to pro
vldo the required funds for road
building, and the third and final ob
ject will be to apply the funds prop
erly and judiciously. Through the
efforts of tho good roads associations
and the holding of good roads con
ventions a unity of effort along these
lines is beginning to be realized. The
next Important step Is the raising of
needed funds. A number of sugges
tions in that regard are already be
ing heard. One offered by several of
the prominent business men of Port
land seems to be a very practical one.
In substance this Is to have the coin
ing session of the legislature provide
a tax levy of one mill on the tuxable
property of the state, to be applied
'x htrlvply to road building. Thus
every citizen whose property Is as
sessed at $1 000 would pay one dollar
per year Into the Btate road fund.
This would create a fund of about
$600,000 annually, and of which
Multnomah county would pay one-
bird. Douglas counly would pay
$25,000 a year Into that fund. In
applying the stnte fund on the roads,
a comparatively small portion would
he spent in Multnomnh county nnd
Douglas county would probably re
ceive $.0.000 out of the state fund,
or twice as much as we put In. Fur
ther than this, the S. P. U. R. Co. and
outside holders of large tracts of tim
ber lands in Douglas county now pay
about 45 per cent of the annual taxes
levied In tills county. Thus, out. of
tho $25,000 to be paid by Douglas
county Into the Btnte road fund, $11,-
250 would be paid by non-residents
of the county, leaving loss than $14,
000 to bo paid by our own people. In
return we may reasonably expect to
get $;i0,ooo from the state fund to
apply on the roads In this county.
Kvery cltiz.cn should certnlnly he
anxious to mako Hint kind of an In
vestment. This will, of course, be ex
clusive of the county and road dis
trict funds and will be In addition
inereio. we are assured that our
county court expects to give much
more attention than ever before to
our public roads during the coming
year, and If we can secure this much
additional fltalo aid, as outlined
above, good ronds building In Doug
las county will soon be going ahead
at a. rapiu pace.
Meeting Here NVxt Friday.
Hon. John II. Scott, nrcsident of
the Oregon Good Ronds Association.

SCOTT'S INCONSISTENCY.
Representative Jones, of lndcncml.
ence, Defends Statement No. 1.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Nov. 11.
To the Editor of The Journal Be
lieving iu the doctrine of free siieech
and a free press, I grant the Oiogon
lan the right to curse and vilify State
ment No. 1 Republican members of
the legislature to' Its heart'B con
tent. For the past six months a large
portion of the editorial page of that
paper has, In nearly ovory issue, been
I devoted to abuse of us poor devils.
ana Knowing mat. me vaiuo of so
much space In a great metropolitan
paper Is very great, I ennnot con
ceive how that paper can afford to
waste so much on us Statement No.
1 members whom it has already read
out of the Republican party, unless
some one who aspires to the position
of United States senator is behind
the scene with a Back.
I concede that the Oregonian has
for 30 yenrs been the leading Re-
' , ri 1 "regou , conceue
' l.hnt tht OiegOlllan Worked hard Blld
did more to cause the enactment of
the direct primary law than all the
other forces In Oregon combined.
concede that tho Republican party
passod the primary law. 1 concede
that it was largely through the In
fluence of the Oregonian that 50,-
000 people voted for the primary law
and election of United States senators
by the popular voto, wheroas only
16,000 voted against It.
Who Passed the Ijiw?
"Backward, turn backward, oh.
time, In your flight," only n few years
ago to the hall of tho state Beuate.
and we find tho electric light Bhlnlnf;
origniiy on mo men who formulnted
and voted for that law, for the elec
tion of Unltod Stntes senators by the
popular vote, nil prominent in the
councils of the Republican party.
Hero they are:
Senators Adams of Marion.
Ilrownell, of Clackamas.
Cameron of Jackson,
Dlmick of Coos.
Hunt of Multnomah.
Johnson of Wasco.
Joseph! of Multnomnh.
Kelly of I, Inn.
Kuykendall of I.ane.
Looney of Marlon.
MnrsterB of Douglas.
MayB (author of tho bill) of Mult
nomah.
Mulkey of Polk.
Porter of Clackamas.
Proebstel of Umatilla.
Slelwer of Wheeler.
Williamson of Crook.
And Present Senator Fulton.
Turn back again for tho time, for
20 years, and come on down llio line,
and we find every republican stnti
convention passing resolutions In fa
vor of election of United Stnte sena
tors by popular vote nnd tho legis
lators of the state of Oregon follow
ing Bull. All those resolutions and
promises and laws are violated even
im.iihu me pcopie nave nau an oppor
tunity to try them out or enforce
them.
niicKwarci, again, a llttlo more
innn a deendo, and we find that some
of the now Republican leaders were
then wandering awny from tho Ke
publican fold, following after false
gods, and voting Tor the unlimited
coinage of Tree silver at tho rntlo of
16 to 1 and advocating lluwe
thoughts through the columiiB of the
oregonian.
Was He Wroiiir Then?
If the able editor of the Oregon-
inn nas become convinced that h
was wrong when ho advocated the
primary' law and tho election of
United States senators by the popular
voie, would it not be better for hi
to come out and acknowledge the
error of his way and right tho wrong
by good, clean argument, and not
by calling Statement No. 1 Republi
cans fools and cowards and violators
or meir oaths and the constitution?
nut it Is Mr. Scott's policy to rule
or ruin, and he is attempting to rule
all the Republicans out of the party
who are advocating the very doctrine
tnnl he rormerly preached. If Mr.
Scott was right when he advocated
tho election of senators by the pop
ular vote, he Is wrong now.
When the Renubllcnns iilcilirol
uiemseives to voto for tho late Sena
tor J. N. Dolph for re-election, and
violated their sacred pledge, the Ore
gonian for many months nhiiscd them
and read them out of the Republican
pnny. if you wore right then. Mr.
Scott, you are wrong now when
you ask Republican members of the
legislature to violate their pledge
made to the whole people; and If you
were right, Mr. Scott, when you
abused Republicans for violating
their pledge to Senator Dolph, you
were wrong when you telegraphed to
Senator Ilrownell on the last day of
tne session of 1903, to voto for II. W
Scott for United States Senator and
violate the pledge he had made to
vote for Senator Fulton
The Republican party passed the
primary law. All the Republican
leaders of Oregon advocated It. Mr
Scott wrote some of tho most abl
editorials thnt were ever published In
favor of this law that ho Is now
condemning. Lincoln has said ttiat
"the best way to repeal a bad law Ii
to enforce it." I have onfldencf
in the people and In tho Republics
parly that If they And the primary
law la not a good law they will by
their votes repeal It.
