OOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION MEAS

SEN. DIMICK WOULD LIMIT POWER
Highway Commission Mutt Serve
Without Pay Commlitloner
to Draw 14000 and Havt
Bupervlalon.
BAI.KM, Or,, Jan. 24. (Spl.) Tho
first skirmish over Senate bill 42 oc
curred In the Senate today and In the
end the flood Hosda Association meas
ure won first blood. While It passed
safely through a committee of the
whole It had a number of amendments
attached to It.
Tho first division arose over tbe
creation of a blRhwsy board. In the
skirmish Senator Dlmlck, of this coun
ty, created a sensation. Ho declared
on Iho floor of the Senate that tht
association bills were fathered by
road-machine men, automobile men
and the promotion of a trunk lino Pa
cific hlKhway project.
"I want to ask If thosu measures are
not the result of tho movca of the
rond-niBchlne men to put tho county
bond measure through at tho laal
election," challenRed Dlmlck. "Tbe
people who 'dig up' the money should
have something to say on this, I want
10 ask If those In the farming com
munities, the men who have been dig
ging roads for tbe lost 50 years I
want to ask if they are not entitled to
somo consideration. Should tho road
men and the automobile men domi
nate the affairs here? If this bill Is
passed, I predict that the people will
put tho referendum against and defeat
It. .
"Undeft these association bills soino
counties will put more money than 1
they draw down. You will create a
highway commission, and because the
rond machine men and the automobile
owners are more clever as politicians
than the farmers, they will dominate
Ihe board. It Is poor policy to create
another commission at this time- We
havo been hearing of the extravagant
and lavish waste of othor commission!
and boards. Here on the Senate floor
we have hoard statements that have
awakened the Senate to a realization
of aomo things that are going on. ana
why should we create a commission,
Riving It full powers to handlo money.
as this bill does, when we snouta at
tempt to curb these commission! and
these expenditures?"
The bill as amended provides for a
highway bonrd of three members, ap
pointed by the (Iovernor and to servo
without pay. This board Is to select
n commissioner nt $1000 a year, to
havo general supervision. The com
missioner' office shall be at Salem,
and as amended by Dlmlck the as
sistant shnll draw f 100 a month.

PLANS FOR BEAUTIFYING PORT

COMPLETED.
OLD PIONEER ROADS TO FORM BASE
Congested Part of tht City Will Not

Districts Ctnter of Im.
provementi.
PORTLAND. Or., Jan. 21. (Spl.)
Portland will be a city noted for Its
beauty when plana of the Civic Im
provement League shall have been
worked out, says Dr. J. II. Wetherbee,
president of this organization. E. H.
liennelt, the municipal architect em
ployed to outline the scheme of city
building. Is due and he Is to bring the
completed plans upon which be has
been at work for over a year.
"These plans," said Mr. Wetherbee,
provide for a city of 2,000,000 popu
lation and are based on tbe broad
basis of civic beauty in its most mod
ern form. We found we could do
more by extending the old roads used
by the pioneers to create the rotary
or circular plan for Portland's streets
by bringing the diagonal streets, the
old roads used 50 years ago, Into the
heart of the city. All these are to be
extended from their present stopping
places until they touch the rim of the
congested center.
"Humslde street is to be widened:
blocks will be acquired on both sides
of the river bridges, giving the traffic
at these places an outlet so It can be
moved expeditiously.
'A part of the plan Is a system of
skyline boulevards on the top of tbe
hills to tbe west. Lower there will be
another series of boulevards and still
another at the foothills. These var
ious drlvewsys are all connected up
with tbe parkway, and boulevards on
the lower levels, making a system
that cannot be equalled In any spot in
the world.
'The congested district will remain
much as it is, except In the blocks
bounded by Park and West Park
streets. This line Is to be the center
of the boulevard running from the
hills to the river. The five blocks In
the center now owned by private In
terests are to be acquired by condem
nation. At the foot of this strip will
be tbe railway terminals and this line
of blocks will be connected with tbe
civic center, the court house and the
city hall which will remain where they
are.
The beautifying of Portland means
an added impetus to the beautifying
of Oregon City, hence this work Is one
that Interests the citizens In this, the
most picturesque spot in this section
of the Northwest.

Portland Commercial Club Gets Busy
In An Effort to Make Hit Visit
a Red-Letter
Day.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Spl.)
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain are
in possession of a letter from Ex
President Roosevelt in which he tells
them that early In April he will be
out on the Coast, and that he expects
to pasa through Oregon City and Port
land on his way East from a visit to
San Francisco.
The Senators wish to Inform their
friends along the route of thlt pro
posed visit so that those wishing to
see Colonel Roosevelt can take the
necessary steps to do so.
In bis communication to the Oregon
Senators Mr. Roosevelt said he did not
want to have Portland people feel that
there was any need of preparing an
entertainment for him or of having
him speak during his visit in Portland,
but that be did not want them to think
he would go through the city without
letting them know in advance. The
Senators feel sure that If the commer
cial bodies shall take the matter up,
the ex-President will address the cltl-
zens of Portland, and tbey suggest
:hat some of the commercial bodies
take tbe matter up directly with Mr.
Roosevelt, or with blm through tbem.

Limited, the fast train on the South
ern Pacific that will most likely bear
this distinguished citizen on his jour
ney, does not stop here- If this was a
regular stopping place for this train
there might be a chance to get the
Colonel to say a few words to an as
sembled crowd, but unless the Com
mercial Club can Induce the railway
officials to permit him to stop, or he
can be induced to travel on a train
that does stop at all the larger cities.
it will be necessary to go to Portland
to see and hear Colonel Roosevelt.
Already the Portland Commercial
Club has taken steps to formally In
vite the Colonel to become a guest of
the city and to speak from one or more
platforms while here. It has offered
to provide entertainment and has es
pecially urged the Colonel to make his
passage through the city a time long
to be remembered by Rose City citi
zens. So warm has been the expres
sion of the club officials that It Is be
lieved the Colonel will gladly accept.
and take that opportunity to address
the people of Oregon at length.

ing the passage of the ocean mail sub
sidy bill. Senator Lodge today. In a
speech, charged that the transporta
tion of American goods to lorelgu
ports Is under the control of a trust
among foreign ship ow;ners.
He said this combination controls
business both on the Pacific and in the
South American trade and that it has
power to fix freight rates.
Lodge said that if enacted Into law
the Galllnger bill would put the com
bination out of business so far as it
effects South America.
'As a result of permitting it to con.
Untie," said the Senator, "we are pay.
fng millions of dollars a year more for
carrying our goods than are other na
tions. This is the cost of our Indif
ference in allowing ourselves to be
discriminated against by this foreign
combination."

SALEM, Or., Jan. 21 (Spl.) This
far nothing has appeared In either
branch of the Legislature seriously
affecting the fishing industry on the
Willamette River and Its tributaries.
With a membership on the fisheries
committee in the House, Representa
tive Magone is on the alert for any
legislation which will operate to the
disadvantage of the Oregon City fish
ermen. Representative Jones has Intro
duced a drastic bill regulating the sale
of drags and chemicals to be used for
medicinal purposes. The terms of the
bill conform to the provisions of the

for passage by tbe committee.
Bills relating -o construction of
roads have been Introduced both In
the House and In the Senate. Some
opposition has developed to the meas
ure which proposes the Issuance of
bonds by counties for making these
improvements. This is objected to by
many of the Granges for the reason
it Is feare(i tnat in tne expenditure of
the money so provided much dissatis
faction might result from the action of
the authorities In directing its expen
diture in one section of the county to
the disregard of other equally deserv
ing localities- General support Is giv
en the bill which provides for state
aid in the building of roads. These
several bills, including the ones pro
viding for the employment of state
and county prisoners on these im
provements, will receive the further
consideration of the legislators at
next week's session.
Probably the most Important legis
lation to be considered at this session
is the redisricting of the state Into
Senatorial and Representative dis
tricts. To date not a single bill on
this subject has appeared In either
House. There Is a growing feeling in
favor of creating separate Senatorial
and Representative districts as rec
ommended In the message of former
Acting Governor Bowerman. While
this necessary would slightly Increase
the membership, of both branches of
the Legislature it is contended that
the distribution of representation
would be far more fair than under the
present system. Bills covering thi
subject are expected to appear next
week.
