ImproTCd Roada to Be Only
Main Traveled Routes.
After recommending the expenditure of
ti.WVt tor state-aid roads. the )
delegate trora all parta of ureon in
attendance yesterday upon tbs good
rnads convention held In Wemnie Hall.
Seventh and Oak streets, adjourned last
nlshL Of the larce lira mentioned
1 M pr rent Is to be taken from the
9O.0Cift. or J3 1-1 per cent, is to do uito
from tha elate treasury and Uie remain-
ler romes from the counties taking aa
vantKVM nf the atate law.
It was evident from tha Opening; of
the momlna session that food roade
wera close to the hearts of tha dele
gates. It was also apparent that moet
of tha membership of tna convention
waa aware that It came to Portland to
mnalder five bllla prepared by Lionel R.
Webster to he recommended for adoption
br tha State Legislature. Thera were
ejuite a number of the members of tha
legislature In the convention bodv. soma
of whom took an active part In tna oia
rttaaion with retard to the proposed laws.
Tha crux of tha discussion revolved
around two Important polnta In conneo
tlon with the hills First, bow mui
state aid should be clven to tha coun
ties? Second, how should tha roads ba
located and br whom?
A large number of minor point were
discussed, but theeo two took up moet
of the time of the dar. A cotene or an
vocatea. favoring- whst'waa termed the
New Jereer method sf taxing abutting
and adtacent property for one-fourth of
the expense of building a road made a
strorit and determined filth t for tha
adoption of that ncheme. but they were
overwhelmingly beaten when It came to
a tt vote.
Counties to 'Provide $40,000.
The two Important measure were set
fed br providing; that state aid ehonld
one-third and the county two-thirds,
providing that I40.WW Is expended br
the couniv. The second point was left
to the Countr Court to locate tho road
with the restriction that "such mad
shall bcln at ona of tha principal mar
ket placea In the county or shall connect
with a permanent road leading: to suen
a Place, and shajl be so locaiei mat
when constructed, as herein provided. It
will constitute ona of tha main traveled
roads to the place from whence It
atari.
A. I. Mtnon. of Hood River, was the
principal fl-baler of the day and as each
section of the bills was resd for consid
eration he advocated well defined vlewa
regarding the methods which should ba
adopted. He said that ha larked confi
dence, in the County Court to fix a road
with satisfaction.
'Gentlemen." said tha speaker. "If you
have had any experience In handling
County Judges and the Countr Commis
sioners you know that tha political game
has more to do with tbem than any
thing '. (od only knowa what they
will do If you give them tha authority.
Cities Depend on Country.
-We have taken action hera which
Bill result In tha expenditure of mora
than a million dollars during 1911
and 1)12. It Is only by tha greatest
r-tre that wa shall ba enabled to get
the legislature to pass these bills.
They represent tha best thought. I be
lieve, that Is obtainable today, and I
appeal to you to make tha division to
ba given by tha state fully one-fourth
or one-third, rather than tha one-fifth
which you have provided In tha orig
inal bill. I am aware that tha rltlxena
of tha towns, and particularly Port
land, pay a good share of tha taxes, but
whst Is Portland without tha country
back of It? Tha ruraltats maka tha
city possible. If It wera not for tha
people In tha country they would not
ba able to sell land 10 miles out for
lisoo an acre, and If we keep on our
work they will soon be selling that
land for town lots so as to bring 1J009
an acre. Therefore. 1 say that tha cit
ies should pay a goodly portion of this
tu for the Improvement of the roads,
although we will receive tha greatest
portion of tha benefit In our greater
ability to haul our produce to town."
RlCbta of Cities Cited.
John II. Albert, of Salem, pointed out
the following facta with regard lo the
proposed assessment for the benefit of
state-aided roada:
Trt land haa an assessed valuation
of :i7.Ovv.0Oi. the public service cor.
rorati-ms IllJ.OOO.OOO. the timber land
il0.0iX).i. making 6.00t.00i out of
a total of 1109. 004 000. leaving tha
farms of the state, along with, tha large
personal property taxation such as
mortgagee and other features, with
onlr 1U0.00O.0vO.
-So yon sea. gentlemen, regardless of
the fact that you are farmers and are
entitled to a great deal ot considera
tion. In reality your assessment Is a
mall portion of the assessment of the
state and tha burden of stata-alded
roads will fall heavily upon tba Incor
porated cities and tha people who live

Convict Labor of City snd County
Prisoners Provides county court msy
direct these prisoners to work upon
the county roads la such manner as
Is desired.
Five proposed bills adopted by the
Orefron Good Roads convention yester
day are regarded by Judge Webster,
author of tha bills, as a chain to make
the efforts of the Roods road advocates
effective. They Include the creation of
a state highway board, provisions of
how state aid to county roads shall
apply, how bonds shall ba Issued for
tha construction of county roads and
how state convict labor may be utilized
In tha construction of roads through
out tha state. Tha fifth bill provides
for tho use of county and city Jail pris
oners. The convention was the result of the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment at the recent election eliminating
tha provisions which forbade counties
from encumbering the taxpayers with
an Indebtedness In excess of 15000 for
the construction of county roads.
Tha bills will be formally presented
to tba Legislature by a committee from
tho association and strong efforts will
bo'made to secure the legislation de
sired.
The first bill, creating a state high
way board, provides a memberahlp of
three cltlsens to be appointed by the
Governor. They are to serve without
salary. The board muet appoint a state
highway commissioner who shall be
thoroughly skilled In scientific road
making," and who .can hold bis posi
tion as long as he pleases the board.
He will draw a salary of 14000 and has
an assistant at 1800 a year.
All roads must be constructed of
crushed rock, gravel or other material
and under the exclusive supervision of
tha commissioner. The law provides
how the commissioner shall act with
regard to direct as well as advisory
supervision, but In the main he la to
promote good roads by advising the
best methods of construction and co
operate with the county road super
visors. He Is authorised to take charge
of the supervision of permanent roada
where requested by the county In cases
where no state aid Is provided.
Slatc-Ald BUI Paramount.
The principal bill of tha five pre
pared Is The one providing for state aid.
This act provides for the appropriation
of &u.0OO for the years of 1911 and
191 S KO.'XO for each (runty, divided
equally , between tho two years.
The county to take advantage of the
appropriation must provide and make
available as needed S4O.O0O for the
J30.009 allotcd by the state. After hav
ing provided such a fund the county
court shall select the particular loca
tion of the road to be constructed and
shall definitely describe It, but such
road shall begin at on of the princi
pal market places or shall connect with
a permanent road leading to such place
and must be so located as to constitute
one of the main traveled roads.
These roads are under the exclusive
direction of the State .Highway Com
missioner. When the County Court
notifies the commissioner that It lias
compiled with the- law It must give
assurance that It has -or will proenre
such machinery, tools and appliances
aa they may determine will be needed
In the consfructlon of such road. The
expense of the road, when completed.
Is apportioned by the County Court
Issuing a warrant for 2-3 of the ex
pence and the State Highway Com
missioner shall direct the Secretary of
btate to Issue to the County Court a
warrant for 3.1 1-3 of the cost. No
state aided road must bo constructed
at a greater grade than tour per cent,
except by direction of the State High
way Board, and in no event greater
than seven per cent.
Counties May Issue Bonds.
Tho bonding act the third In the
chain is a verV simple measure and
provides that where a petition Is pre-,
sented containing one-fourth of the
legal voters of the county as cast at
the last election for Supreme Judge,
the County Court shall issue a call for
an election not to exceed once a year
for the purpose of Issuing bonds to
construct permanent roads. Provision
la made to determine the validity of
the petition, and a certain form is
provided for the signatures to be ap
pended. When a petition containing
one-twentieth of tho voters of tho
county is presented the petition may
be regarded as advisory and the County
Court may call the election If It so de
sires. Tho County Court may also sub
mit the question of voting bonds of
Its own accord at any general election.
The bonds are to be sold to the high
est bidder, are to draw not to exceed
t per cent, and preference to be given
to the cltlsens of the state. All moneys
so secured must be expended for roads
and for no other purpose.
The fourth bill provides for the use
of penitentiary convict labor. All con
victs are to be used upon the public
roads except those necessary for work
around the penitentiary. And all so
employed by the State Highway Board
are under the "control, management
and direction" of the Board. Any
county can secure such number of
convicts as it may desire to work upon
Its roads, providing the state Highway
Board gives Its consent. Each county
must pay all the expenses incident to
the "taking and keeping and returning
of all convicts" taken by It
All convicts must work under the
sole direction of the State Highway
Board. Provision Is made for the es
tablishment of three convict camps
one In tha Willamette Valley, one
In Southern Oregon, and one In
Kastern Oregon. Each camp Is to be
supplied with rock-crushing machinery
and ! to be located with that purpose
In view. All rock so made shall be
delivered at cost to the counties. The
State Highway Board has complete
authority to take such prisoners from
the nenltentlary as It may desire. To
carry out the provisions of tha act
ISO. 000 Is appropriated.
The fifth bill Is a simple recital of
how to work prisoners in county and
cltv lalls on public roads, and placea
the entire control within the Jurisdic
tion of the County Court. All these
convicts are to be allowed $2 a day of
eight hours each, to apply upon their
fine.
