The recently pending housing
bill, which cleared its final legis
late hurdle in the House with the
adoption of. the conference report,
extends housing loan provisions
and authorizes some more funds
for such loans. When it finally be
comes law the bill will also carry
a lection which we put in when
the bill was being acted upon in
the House. This section will enable
cities or other local units to pur
chase government temporary and
semi-permanent housing. T h i
amendment will, I believe, enable
the City of Lebanon to make satis
factory arrangements regarding
the two federal projects which have
been a worry to the Lebanon city
administration.

The gas bill would seem to be
ideal for their purpose. It involves
a complicated problem which only
a few experts really understand, so
the truth about it can be distorted
without much fear of refutation.
Therefore, the propagandists are

interested:
(1) Long experience under the

to believe the passage of the recent
bill will cause an increase of gas
prices to the consumer. (2) The

In fact most of the horse meat

He testified- that he bought the
meat on orders from owner Tal-

Slaley is charged with selling

First Govt. Highway Aid To
Oregon For 'Post Roads' Only;
Ultimate Needs Unforeseen
By Rlph Watson
Public Relations Consultant, Oregon Highway Department
On November 2J, 1922, Oregon's highway system so far as federal
aid if concerned was "jelled" when the federal bureau of roads and
the highway commission reached "a meeting of the minds" regarding
the designated highways, and the mileage, for the construction of
which the government would allocate its funds. This agreement mad
no material change in the main or trunk line highways which had been
set up by the commission, but it established a definite basis for joint
endeavor which has not since been changed except by an increase in
the percentage of federal funds allowed.
The first federal aid law limited I
federal funds to "post roads" or
roads over which the mail was to
be carried. Later this was changed
to "such projects as will expedite
the completion of an adequate and
connected system of highways, in
terstate in character." It required
further that before federal aid
would be given the state must set
up a system of highways not to
exceed T percent of the total high
way mileage in the state and that
federal money should be spent
within the mileage limits of that
1 percent. Those provisions have
been modified by an amendment
increasing the percentage by one
point whenever the designated
roads were 90 percent completed
The state in 1922 had 41 ,825.7
miles of public roads, which en
titled it to a federal system of not
to exceed 2,927.8 miles. The re
mainder of the road mileage was
left to state, county and city fi
nancing and it is upon this crys
talized program that the commis
sions have been laboring since 1922.
Ultimate Needs Unforeseen
Oregon's highways in the begin
ning were 18 feet in width, as com
pared to IS feet in California. On
that standard the close of 1922 saw
the state with 837.7 miles of paved
highways: 1,197 3 surfaced with
macadam or gravel; 1940.2 still
unimproved. In other words, "more
than 50, percent of the system as
then contemplated had been com
pleted with practically all of the
more important and most expensive
portions entirely completed."
That was the optimistic view of
the commission on November 30,
1922, when its biennial report
states: "Except for the construc
tion of one single mile of pavement
(through Rainier) the Columbia riv
er highway is, at the end of 1922,
a completed highway." "The com
pleted cost exclusive of those sec
tions within cities and towns will
segregate approximately $11 mil
lion." "The Pacific highway, J45
milts in length, stsnds practically
completed: 327 miles paved, the
remaining 18 miles improved to a
very excellent all-season road."
The Roosevelt highway had been
"extensively improved" but not yet
"opened over its entire length."
Its total cost when completed was
estimated at $10 million, covering
it entire 409 miles.
TV at was the way they felt about
the Highway lob wnen tne commis
sion balanced its books ss of No

ning of the highway endeavor in
1913 up to this later date, the com
mission had expended $56,809,107 in
highway construction and its con
tingent expenses. Of this total, state
funds, from bonds and other rev

Up to then the commission had
been wheeling along on lt-foot high
ways and believed they could sea
the sunset of their endeavors with
their job more than half done. They

Western Trip Of
Truman Scored
By GOP Leader
CHICAGO. (. President
Truman's planned western trio
next month, says a Republican
leader, will be mad at the tax
payers' expense "in a desperate
attempt to save the socialistic Fair
Deal.'1
Guy Gabrielson, chairman of the
Republican National committee,
said that the presidential special
will be a "gravy "rain" with new
promises to distract attention from
untitled 1B48 pledges.
"Mr. Truman realizes that unless
he can continue to hoodwink the
American people the whole social
istic Fair Deal will blow up in his
face," Gabrielson told the Western
Railway club.
"The President fully realizes
what he is up against. The reports
from the hinterlands tell of a na
tionwide resentment against the
Truman administration."
The GOP chairman said that even
the election of a Republican presi
dent in 1952 could scarcely undo

gain in the fall elections.
He urged election of a Republic

foreign policy and a reasonable

Gabrielson, who earlier had met
with local party leaders, said Mr.
Truman, on his trip to the coast,
will ''completely ignore the sorry
record he has made and will go on
the offensive.".
