War and the Call to Anns, Springtme and the songs of birds mingled with the laugh In reply to an inquiry from the Legislative Good Roads Committee as to what its policy would be in the matter of awarding contracts for road construction if the pending road bond bill should be approved by the voters in the June election, the State High way Commission issued the following statement: “We recognize the propriety of your inquiry and therefore hereby author ize you on our behalf to say that this Commission, at a public meeting held at Portland on this date, adopted the following resolution: “ 'Whereas there exists in the pub lic mind an impression that undue profits have heretofore been made by paving contractors in Oregon, " 'Be it resolved that it will be the policy of the Highway Commission to call for bids on all standard types of pavement in open and fair coinpeti- tion and to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder who will be required to give a good and sufficient guarantee for the permanency work. ‘Be it further resolved that event no satisfactory bid can tained the Highway Commission will proceed to do the work Itself by force account after the purchase and ii^ stallation of its own paving plant.’ "The above resolution is intended as a frank statement to the public of what our policy will be. If there is anything which is not fully covered it is due to an oversight on our part and not due to any desire to evade any issue or question. “We may summarize our plans as follows: We shall demand and en deavor to acquire for the state full value for every dollar of public money expended. If the bond issue is adopt ed we shall so far as possible, com mence work in every county in which work is to be done at the earliest possible moment. We shall not favor one county or locality over another, but will, to the best of our ability, be fair to the various sections of state." of Contented Customers and happy chiI dren who take advantage of oui Early purchases and big assortment of up-to-date By virtue of an execution tn foreclo sure and order of sale, dulv issued out Paris, April 25—“Contrary to all the of and under the seal of the Circuit rules of international law and humani Court for theStateof Oregon for Jack- ty,” says an official note, "the Ger son County, to me directed and dated mans have announced that they will on the 24th day of April, 1917, in a cer torpedo all hospital ships without warn tain suit therein, wherein J.
