Three tin a tK' I ill ami three construct tve. lu other word the people of u county dcslrlug to Issue bouds for the Improvement of lta roads will rirst decide among themselves (at the c unity road meeting) the amount of bonds to lie Issued, the time they shall run aud the rate of lut rent they shall bear. They will then select the road or road to be Improved aud name the amount of money to be ex pended on each I this Is what our op ponent do not want); they will uame the material to lie lined aud fix the maximum grade to lie ptrtultted. One nee tlon of our bonding act provides that the maximum grade cannot exceed 5 per cent unless other wise ordered by the county roads meeting. Thin place the whole pro. position direct to the people In each county. In there a man In Oregon who In no unfair an to nay that the voters should not hare a voice In tl)tse essential points before they place a mortgage upon their homes? While talking with one of Oregon's neni eil ilea tors a lew ilays ago, a man who holds a high position In one of ourntate Institutions of learn ing, he nald, "Do you know what I admire about the (irange road bills above everything else?" I replied that I would always rather hear a compliment than a criticism. He re plied, "It In the method of selecting the roads upon which the money ,1s to expended. The plan Is uiilqui and will give the desired results." I might add here that the question of who shall select the roads upon which the bonded money s to be ex pended Is the hub of contention around which thin wholecontroverny revolves. There are some who do not believe that the people should have the power to say where their money In to be expended, while we contend that If we are to be taxed to build good roads we want the right to select those roads aud If we are fools enough to first build a road from Alaska to Mexico or from I'ort land up the Columbia Ulver before we build roads from our homes to our nearest markets then we should pay the bills. We also believe that a state high way engineer In absolutely necessary as a matter of economy. The ex treme cost of this officer to the 3'J counties outside of Multnomah coun ty will not average more thau f 240 per county. If your county court should hire an engineer to draw the plans for one washed out bridge of any size they would pay perhaps more than thin amount. A compe tent state highway engineer can nnd will do this work better than the majority of Kngtneers who would lie hired by the county courts, and his services would require no extra cost. Me will establish a uniform system of road building throughout the state and give advice to our county courts which will be worth far more than some of us realize. We must not foget that the ma jority of our county courts are hon est but are elected, not because they are yriictlcal road builders, but In-. cause they may lie good citizen, good business men or even good pol Itlclaim. Hence, It Is no wonder that often times we see our road money squandered by Ignorant methods of road construction. To say to a meiiitier of a county court that you cannot build a loco motive engine would cause him to smile, but when you tell lilm he can not build a good road, In all proba blllty he will want to fight you. Vet one requires special knowledge nnd skilled experience as much as the other. mil i cannot in my limited space cover all this argument. Study the grange state highway engineer bill It given assistance to our county courts, cheapens the costs of road construction, anil protects the ex pemllture of our road money. I he state highway engineer will In; to our good roads movement what the state school superintendent In to our public school system, an educator, an adviser, a statlsrlclan, nnd a valuable assistant. The grange state high way engineer bill Is a clean cut business proposi tion and carries with It no jokers Willamette Valley Farms In Lane County, Oregon.

Cottage Grove, Ore. like the I'ortland Harmony (?) High way t'ommlsslou bill. We do not tie It Ut with a million dollar annual state bond Issue, neith er do we let some man at Salem tell us where our money should be ex pended. All we want Is the right to build our own roads. If they do not want to bond lu oue county It Is no reason why the people In the adjolu lug couuty should be deprived of do lug so If they so desire. Our grange road bills give us borne rule and legal control; they ap ply the Oregou system to road build ing. They say to those who want to bond and build better roads "Vou shall have that power;" they say to the voter who Is opposed to bonds of any kind "If you are In the minor ity and are forced to stand jour share of a bond Issue, Is It not better to have the roads Improved from your home to a market center thau to help build a road lu some remote part of the state where business In terests will receive lit tie or no benefit." If space would permit, I would Itke to expose the Injustice of the cither road bills lu opposition to ours. But suffice It to say that the analysis of their titles will tie sufficient at this time. The I'ortland Harmony and the Medford Home Hule bills sound well. Harmony Is a good word when properly used, but when we consider under what conditions these bills were framed and how the har mony fellows nre uow knifing a part of their bills, the word harmony Is a Jest. "Home ltule" Is also a pleasing title, but when the voters who have homes are given no voice In the Initi ative of a bond Issue or In theexpeud Iture of their money I believe the word Is a misnomer. In conclusion I want to Invite any advocate of either of the above set of road bills to meet a representative of the State Orange lu an open de bate at any time and at any place lu Oregon where an audience can be se cured. For definite arrangements address our State Master, ('. K. Spence, Oregon (Ity, Oregon. While this article ha but partly covered our good roads legislation problem, yet I trust it will arouse, lu the reader's mind a desire to study all three sets of road bills now lie fore the voters of ( )regon. If you do this we know what your verdict will lie victory for the State (irange road bills. Yours for better road laws, A. I.
