MOOD RIVER, OREOON
(Coutlnued from last Issue)
Our In nullum tu-t give the people
the power to decide nix essential
point before the election U culled.
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

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. Mason.
