Editor Observer: .In an article of the East Oregon lan there appears a criticism In regard to the pttpers endeavoring to defeat the Weliter road bills. ' Tf the writer of that article has the interests of the people at stake and understand the Webster bills he should cease to criticise those who are work ins to protect the farmers, and the taxpayers of Eastern Oregon. ; ' in the first place those bills are mis leading.' Everything Is given In the hands of a commission and no sys tem set forth as to how the money and wlere.,the money Is to be spent other than the counties that raise the $20, 000.1'C first shall receive the other $10,(00.00, the result would be those counties lying along the road from Portland south to the California line vmuld be first to get the aid to the det riment of the smaller counties. The treat song is that Portland will give $225,000 to this road from the assess ment of that city. Portland Is very generous but it Is only skin deep. Let us take as an example of the Inequalities of the bill. Curry county and the so called liberal county of Multnomah. Before Curry county can use her ten thousand she must raise twenty thousand. This means six and would on It noA 'yr ' iiii hundredths of a mill. Or the farmer In Curry, pays nearly fourteen times as much. If Multnomah would raise six and one half mills she could boild the auto road alone through Orgon and part way through California. The bill was drawn, so it was said on the floor of the senate, la the Interest of the auto men and the road marchlnery companies. The "E. O." only looks at one side of the question. This paper eees that Portland apparently gives more than she receives. But Umatilla county ' also pays $12,000 more than she receives. Are taxes so low over In Umatilla that they can make a pres ent to the rest of the state? The farmers do believe In good roads Their representatives are openly sup porting two bills. Gills and Mariners. One puts the state engineer In the place of the Highway Commissioner with Its appropriation of $15,000. Thus we get our scientific knowledge, of road building, and we create no new office. The other bill is a bonding bill but it takes It out of the hands of the county court and puts it in the hands of the "people. For, the amount of the bonds, the roads to be improved and the amount of money to be expended upon eacn road la put In the' petition when the ipeople vote for It, and the road Is built under the supervision of a coun ty engineer if the county wishes It. Thus you see the farmers do want good roads, but they see no need of raising this money, $680,000, turning It over to the state. Then let the state give back to the county what Is left after salaries, railroad tickets, office charges, specifications and blue prints are taken but Washington used up about 60 per cent of her state aid mon ey in this way.

WORKMEN GIVEN BENEFITS. Proposed Act Would Give All Work, men Better Aid In Accidents. Providing for speedy and equitable settlement of damages for injuries re ceived by working men and women, through the medium of a worklngmen's optional compensation act ,and paving the way for better settlement of dam age cases, an act Is to be Introduced In the Oregon legislature which has especial bearing on La Grande. In view of the fact that so many work men are employed here, the bill Is of more than ordinary interest and effort to have Union county's delegation . work for It and effect its passage will be taken up, no doubt, by various or ganizations. ,. There la collected, under the pro visions of the bill. 75 cents each month from the workingman; $1.50 from the employer per month and the state pays about $L25. All three items going to a state fund controlled by a commission. In case of Injury to any person who may bare . signed the agreement with his, employer and ta paying his stimulated .assessment monthly, the state will,, on presenta tion of the fact of Injury to the com mission, pay a graduated compensa tion to the Injured. This is entirely regardless of how or who is. responsible for the injuries. It is often the case that, the workman, a poor fellow, is careless and If he is injured cannot collect any damages probably as the jury Just decide on the merits of the case. In the event the employer is to blame, the workman loses a big portion of the damage moneys- to counsel. Under this act the state pays the compensation regard less of who is responsible, and more over; does It speedily, promptly and without litigations. - The payments and . compensation scale follows: i ; For the loss of either arm above el bow, $1500.00. ' . -. ' - For the loss of either arm at or be low the elbow, $1250.00. -:. -, For the loss of either hand at tlhe wrist, $750.00. For the .lOBS of either thtmb and forefinger, $400.00.

(Special) An 'mraedlate result of a bill by 1 Rep. Gill, (Dem. Md.) for the purchase of an oil potralt of George Washington fcr $50,000, by the Government, was 0,e discovery by Congressmen today that there was a considerable crop of Washington portraits by Peale. M'hey found that one of them, a dupli cate of the portrait of which Gill ad vised the purchase, except in one point of a minor difference, has adorn ed the Senate wing of the Capitol for nearly twenty years. The difference la that in the Senate picture Uncle George wears epaulets while in the other his shoulders are unadorned. The Senate picture is life size and ehows George Washington when he was forty-six years old. He stands In careless pose, his left hand resting on some indistinct object which might In a rock and on which his cloak Is draped. His right hand Is placed on j the hip and his legs are crossed. , He wears knee breeches and block silk stockings. His face Is strong and ruddy lees broad and wholly unlike the countenance of the Father of his Country that beams benevolently from the lithographs on Washington's birthday. It looks like the portrait of a man who might own a string of race horses and have an interest in he goof things of life. Gill's bill proposes the purchase or a Baltimore owned version of Peafe's Washington. It is set form In the measure (that H is a painting present- . 77 Hill , mm?
