Dear Sir: I would like to submit some focts conccrnlne the nronosed sale of the Barlow toll road to the State of Oregon for IM.OOO.

Organization Goee On Record Aa Fa voring Certain' Leg islation. Albany, Or., May 28 Yeaterday af ternoon's session of the Oregon State Grange was mostly devoted to reports of officere. That of 8tate Master I.edy was a comprehensive review of the past year's work, Including the session of the National Grange, which he attended last November. He not ed much more general co-operation than for many years past, since the last meeting, and urged active and ag gressive work on the part of every member during the remainder of the present campaign, so that the Grange measures would be winners. Mr. Leedy suggested a change in the by-laws, enabling the executive committee to audit the books of the secretary and treasurer, Instead of having such work done by the finance , , 4 . lwn"""l l present Mm ri.ru H W.Mn .1...

She re i P?.rted an arrangement with the State utmmij commission, whereby the Granges were being furnished with boxes of books, and recommended that all Granges take advantage of the op portunity to secure the benefits of a traveling library.

It was late Friday night when the convention adjourned, after the in- ceremonies; A d Fr(. ' VOTE FOR 88 X ROBERT BAKER day was devoted to routine buslnasa, and the work of receiving committee reports and discussing resolutions waa carried Into the evening session. The 1 most. Important resolution adopted i Friday, and in fact, the most note I worthy of the whole convention, was i that proposing an Imperative mandate i law. by which public officers could be recalled before the expiration of their term by popular vote. The resolu tion urges members of the Grange to use strenuous efforts to secure aucb a law by the Initiative system. The proposed law would give a certain percentage of voters the right to pe tition for the removal of a public of ficial at any time during his term, and upon the filing of such a petition an election would be held and the of ficer would have to retire If there should be a majority vote against him. The most Interesting discussion of Friday's session was on the question of postal reform. It was argued that the 116,090.000 annual deficit In tbe Postal Department prevented the ex tension and perfection of the rural free delivery system. It waa claim ed carriers were Insufficiently paid, and instances were cited of routes where no carrier could be secured on the Government salary, but the peo ple had to subscribe additional sums to secure the service. The election of United States Sena tors by direct vote of the people waa also indorsed by resolution. The Grange has for years advocated this method of choosing United States Senators, and Friday's resolution waa merely an affirmance of former in dorsements. That agriculture be taught aa one of the main branches in the public schools was an important recommend ation. The report also contained words of appreciation of the good work done by the inspector of horticulture. The resolution asking that the whip ping post be abolished In Oregon fail ed to pass after considerable discus sion, principally in a humorous vein. A great deal of time was devoted to the subject of good roads. The Tuttle road law was condemned and the standfng legislative committee was instructed to put forth all possible efforts to secure Its repeal at the next session of the Legislature. The report of the committee on good roads, of which Frank Butler of Dallas, is chairman, called attention to the fact that all National effort has gone for the improvement of rivera and harbors, and that farmers had to pay increased special taxes if they se cured good roads to the railroads. The report stated that there should be three kinds of roads National, state and county. In our state, it said, there should be. of the first type, one broad highway on either side of the Willam ette River and South to the Califor nia line, one or more east of the Cas cade Range, and east and west roads from the ocean to the eastern bound ary of the state. These should bo built in the best manner with Nation al funds by state authorities somewhat in cost to the amount which for scores of years the farmers of Oregon have contributed in taxes to the river and harbor improvement of the whole land. The use of convict labor on the roads w.as favored in a resolution addressed to the committee appointed by the Governor to report on the best meth ods of employing convicj. labor. The habit of damping garbage and rubbish into the public highways was denounced in a strongly worded res olution. The executive committee of the State (Jrange was authorized by resolution to expend $2000 the coming year in extending the order,, by sending out deputies to organize granges, and in educational work. The committee was also instructed to invoke the ref erendum on all legislation opposed to Grange interests. Superintendent of Public Instruc tion J H. Ackerman was requested to furnish a copy of his address on "Rural High Schools." delivered to the Grange. Wednesday evening to be pub lished in the monthly bulletin of the order. The purchase of the Barlow road, which Is to be voted on in the June election was opposed In a resolution adopted yesterday. The act of Congress in passing the free-alcohol bill was commended in a resolution passed with consider able enthusiasm. The committee on pure food sub mitted a report which was adopted, commending the work now done in Oregon in the interest of unadulter ated food. Hereafter officers of subordinate granges cannot serve more than two years at a time in one position. This custom was abolished in a resolution passed yesterday. The practice was opposed on the ground that It makes the Grange dependent on a very few members and tends to creat a dormant Grange. The two bills proposing a tax on the gross earnings of corporations, which are to be voted on at the June elec tion, and which are Grange measures, were heartily indorsed.
