Second Annual
Picnic Is Held
At Flora, Ore.
The entertainment of Mrs. De Priest, wife of the negio
congressman from Illinois, at the White House recently
i along with dozens of other congressmen's wives was a veiy
i J natural thing. Criticism of Mrs. Hoover's action, orginating
jliri the south where political capital is scarce, shows how
j; ridiculously narrow minded some otherwise democratic Am
erican citizens can be, Mrs. Hoover is to le complimented.
' She would have been guilty of a grave error had she not
included Mrs. De Priest along with other wives of repre
sentatives. White House entertaining, although called social,
; is actually official in character. Mr. De Priest, by virtue of
intelligent leadership in his home district, has been placed
on a basis of official equality with other representatives. It
would be a sorry indictment of American citizenship and
tolerance if that official equality were denied members of
his family.
THE $650,000 BRIDGE
The announcement of a new bridge to be constructed by
the state highway commission near Gold Heach at a cost of
650,000 has caused the Baker Democrat-Herald to wonder
about previous pleas of the commission that no money was '
available for necessary work on the Old Oregon Trail. And '
i the Baker paper also says that Eastern Oregon is suffering
!' now that, this section has no member on the highway com
'i mission. ,
.That is hardly fair to the commission and is certainly do-;
: ing an injustice to Judge Sawyer, resident of Bend and mem- j
! ber of the commission. In the first place we can't be disturbed
I about that $650,000 bridge without knowing a lot more alxuit
traffic conditions on the Roosevelt highway. It is entirely;
X)SsibIe that the bridge at that particular point is far more j
important at the present time to the state highway system
and the handling of traffic than widening and straightening :
' the Trail across the Blue Mountains, for example. ;
y If the commission were not convinced that this is true'
(and its members know more about Oregon highway needs
than anybody else in the state can possibly know), the pro
ject would not have leen approved. Knowing the unselfish
and impartial spirit of the commission. The Observer cannot
think otherwise. It is merely a question of having limited
funds for doing a score of important jobs in completing the
present highway system. b !
Bridges, new construction, widening, etc., are all on the
, program and with bonds to retire and interest to pay there
is just so much available for everything, and no more. Some
projects have to wait, some can le undertaken at once. The
unfortunate part is that such an important traffic artery
as the Old Oregon Trail, only entrance from the east, miit
le allowed to deteriorate instead of being constantly im-i
'proved. It can't !x helped, apparently. The arguments for!
other projects are, it is obvious, moie convincing at tin !
present time and the money is to le spent for them. If the
tables were reversed and we lived at Murshfield or Gold!
Beach, work on the Oregon Trail would lc considered in the
same light j
The question of representation on the highway eoiniou-j
sion, however, lias nothing to do with approved piojeets. j
; Contrary to the Baker pair's insinuation, Kastem Oregon :
has a very capable and interested memW in the person of
Judge Sawyer of Bend. No commission member could -:
more seriously concerned with the highway needs of the
area east of the Cascades. He is fully iiifuim.'d on the condi
tion of Eastern Oregon roads and the need for various im
provements. But Mr. Sawyer is serving the entire state of Oiegon. a
any commissioner from this section should, an! not ju.i a
restricted area. He and his colleagues make their deei.-ions
on a basis of the system as a whole. Surely the jn'.p!t of
Oregon would not have it otherwise. And contrary lo the
snap judgement of the uninformed, Eastern Ovgon high
ways leceived a far greater proportion of the UYZX evn ii
liiivs for maintenance end co!ttructii;n than its population
and traffic volume would normally warrant. Eastern Oiegon
is not lieing discriminated against. Hie state simply mvds
more money for nmd work right now than it has available.
