HOW COST IS DISTRIBUTED Vndrr New ' Johnson Act, Slate, County and District Would Bo Assesd for All Improve ments of Highways. F3UT road measures will be presented to the Legislature, all of which have re ceived indorsement from the Patrons of Husbandry- Three of these bills were drawn up by a committee of 16. Including farmers and business men and the fed erated trades. Tlie first Is known as the Johnson bill, which Is very much dif ferent from the bill passed and vetoed at the former session. It provides for the construction of main highways in the several counties, the stale paying three eighths, the county three-eighths and the community Immediately benefited one- fourth. In the former Johnson bill the com munity was asses.ed one-third, which s reduced to one-fourth In the new bill. ' The provisions of this act are drawn lib erally so that the interests of the farm era are carefully safeguarded, according to members of the Grange. The gone of the community to be as seesed Is placed at two miles on each end. which is considered fair, as the farm land Immediately abutting on these lm proved highways will be directly bene fited. The territory to be assessed is not fixed arbitrarily, but may toe diminished or enlarged as the circumstances require, finally, the cost to the community may even be eliminated. Draw Krom Eastern Iws. A largo number of the Eastern States have roMd laws nearly like the Johnson bill. New Jersey. Ohio, Massachusetts. New Tork and many of the Middle States divide the cost betwen the state and the county with excellent results, so It Is re ported In road publications. This bill provides for a Road Commission and State Road Engineer, a provision copied ; from the laws of some of the Eastern States. In the Johnson bill there Is a provision also for the use of wide tires for the pro tection of roads that are Improved. Hoaevtr. Judge Grant B. Dimlck, of Clackamas County, has provided a more draslic bill for this purpose. Judge Dlm .nv ihat In Clackamas County many A-wt-fins -nlHnk roads, the only kind that could be built for want Of other material, costing thousands 01 aatiars, .1 ..l,Viin A fftW months bV the heavy loads hauled over them. These roads, he declares, wouia nave serveu mo farmers for five or ten years, but are broken to pieces by wood wagons, tie wagons and loggers. Judge Dimick points out mat wnen a new pittim i w 1 1. ,1 .on m i 1 1 I. nftpn Rtarted ant within a few months the road that should have served for years is aestroyea. Tho Dimick bUl gives the County Court power to regulate the traffic over the county roads ana limits ine ioau inai an , mamr garrv hotWMn October 1 an May 1 to .500 pounds. This bill was not drawn up nor passea on y jwu n i- n.ml.Dlnn ht fa i h i ti c indorsed mJttUS vuihiiiiocwhi mm. r. . along with the other measures for road construction ana roaa protection. iuntles to Vote Bonds Under the bill which enables counties to Issue bonds not to exceed 1300,000, road construction is purely optional with the counties. Under the provisions of this bill bonds cannot be Issued unless voted for bv a malortty. The fourth road meas ure Is to employ prisoners in city and county jails on the roads and also to lease out the convicts In the penitentiary to oreoare material for road construction This measure has been strongly urged by the Federated Trades largely on ine ground that at present the labor of many of the convicts is used in competition wun free labor. Adherents of the bill set forth that the convict ought to work be cause it is beneficial to his health and teaches him how to make an honest liv ing, and also because he owes It to the state and soclfy to contribute something toward his own support. Judse L. R. "Webster, of Multnomah County, is one of the strongest advocates of employ ment of this kind of labor In preparing material to be used on the county roads. Convict labor. It Is pointed out, is not an experiment in road construction, as 11 states of the South largely employ convicts. These road measures are being discussed and have been Indorsed to far by Granges, not because thy-y are entirely satisfactory, but because they' are considered by them the best that can be had at present. The through-state road is a dead issue for the present, at least. Judge Webster, who originated and advocated this project, says that he had given up the idea of such a road, not because he is convinced that it ought not to be built, but because the opposition Is too strong to overcome. While none of the provisions of the John son bill can be construed as favoring a through-etate road, such a road might be built under that bill, should popular sen timent favor tt. Tlie sole object and aim of tlie present Johnson bill and the other road measures. In the opinion of Grange members. Is to construct good highways leading Into and connecting the farming districts with the markets and business centers. Prescriptions filled at Eyssell's. 299 Morrison, between Fourth and Fifth.
