ORCE ACCOUNT PLAN, DISCARDED BY COMMISION (Continued from Page One) used In building roads, a require ment of the government, Scott said, slnco federal funds are being used. Another rule the commission will Invoke, Scott said. Is that counties ln which such federal money is to be employed cannot hope to confine em ployment on those projects to resi donto of such counties alone. Clackamas county and the Oregon City chamber of commerce had de manded that on work ln that coun ty, only residents of the county be employed. Scott said this request Is not tenable and cannot avail." "The work," ho said, "ln Clackamas coun ty is to be done on a state highway, paid for with national funds, and hitherto carried on chiefly with state funds, and cannot be monopolized by residents of Clackamas county." Commenting on the force account, or "crew" work system, Scott cited letter by Thomas H. MacDonald. chief of tho federal bureau of public ronuo, Washington, D. C, to Senator McNary,- in which It was said that hand labor by force account on 7 of 10 of federal aid projects ln Oregon resulted in a cost more than double tho amount tho finmo work Was esti mated to cost." XXX ! Scott said "tho federal bureau of ronds and reconstruction finance cor-1 poratlon, in abandoning the charity I or dolo plan of relief employment in denllngs with tho state highway de partment, hold that that department Is not a poor relief agency and will not be supplied with federal funds as such." ; SPEAKS AT ( II A.MTOlia CHAMPOEO, Ore., Sept. 6 (A?

Tho state- ,1 mont was mndo in an address nt thn , discussed highway problems. . Scott's remarks drew him Into a vigorous, extemporaneous and friend ly debato with Marshall N. Dana, as sociate editor of the Oregon Journal, who declared that "a dollar has value only If used, and If stored away It has no moro uso than if we lived oq a mountain of gold and gnawed away at our shoestrings to obtain nourishment."- In reply Scott said that with S3, 000.000 to spend In the wlner and spring, but 6 or 6 per cent of the unemployed of the stoto could be given employment. ;i00l) To Oct Work Thrco thousand men will be em ployed on a contract basis on moro tnan 30 projects in the stato now un der way, tho chairman said. They will bo paid a minimum of 60 cento on nour for 30 hours' work n week. - Ho said tho commission will adopt n meuium ground" oetweon hand labor and machines. "It costs 50 cents n cubic yard to excavato with nano labor, while n power shovel could do It for 0 cents," ho declared. "On ono lob wo could have nniri tho men their wages whllo they sat name aim oraiiK lemonade and played cards as a power shovel did tho work and still It would have cost us only 43 cents a cubic yard." ho concluded.
