CONVICT LABOR FAVORED S20.000,000 liond Issue Also Advo cated Co-operation by Fanners In. Building Iilghwava Aiked by Executive. GoTmop Wast spoke for a half an hour oa the atraat at Seventh and Washington last night, advocating rock quarries in Tarloua parts of tha state, lha working of convicts therein and the piraant of th bill for a 120, eoo.000 bond Issue. Gtareoptlcon slides showing th condition of roads In th stat war thrown upon a screen as th Governors talk progressed. Th speech wss under th auspices of th Grejron Good Roads Association. The Oovernor aald: The farmer la not so much Interested la scenlo routes ss ha la In a good road from his b"me to tha school, church and to market. He Is now obliged to par tl.25 to il.iO a yard for crushed rock and gravel. Th district spreads this on- sparingly, and obtalna poor re sults, because the material la ao art pensive. Perhaps th material la not of the riant kind. Rock which appeara to tha Inexperienced to be well adapted to read-bulldlng might crumble Into powder or mud. aa th caa may be. In a few months. Bock Qaarrtes Wanted. "Rock quarries ought to ba estab lished at central polnta where the r'.ght kind of rock mar be obtained. Their should be operated with convlot labor, and the rock should ba sold to the farmers at cost. These quarries should ba accessible to th railroads, ao that with a cheap rata th rock can ba hauled In thla manner. This will relieve the Penitentiary of th ex pens of maintaining theee convicts. We are establishing a quarry at Ore gon City now. For ( miles between Portland and Salem th wagon road follows the railroad. "Tha grading of th road la a email matter. If th rock la available It can be distributed during th rainy sea eon, at such times aa th farmers' teama are not busy with other work, because tha rock can ba laid and tha teama can then haul ovar It. Best Legtalatloa Sought. As to good rosds legislation. It doesn't make a particle of difference to me whoe bills I support. All I aak la that I be allowed the privilege of sup porting th best bill. If anyone els has a better bill than our, and will show me wherein It Is better. I will gladly support It. Th bonding feature of these bill Is objected to. In tha last six years the counties of Oregon have spent 111,000.000 for roads. Th bill provides for th Issuing of II. 000.000 bonds each year for 10 years, or IIO.0O0.00O all told. . ."I believe the bondlns system a good one. becauee otherwise the Improved property la obliged to bear the heaviest burden of taxation. Th bonding sys tem distributes the cost over a number of years, so that those who purchase land after tha road la In us, and who Improve tha land, ar called upon to share tha tax burden. Solon Blame for Tax. Complaint la being mada about tha high taxes. They were caused by tha large appropriations mad by the Leg islature in Its recent session. Many of tha expendlturea were absolutely un necessary; many were necessary. Tha tax burden this year was about all tha people could ataqd. and any attempt to put upon the peoplo an additional bur den would be fought. In view of that, the question cornea up: Who are tha roads to benefit? They will certainly benefit the newcomer, thosa who pur chase tha land or Improve It after th roads ar built. They will also benefit th farmers who already have home throughout th state. Therefor th burden ought to b ahared. Under the bonding system you will hav tea per sona to bear tha burden, where now you have but on. -At present. In Interior points, crop must be rushed to market as soon aa harvested, or put In a warehouse under storage charges. If the farmer wait th roads become Impassable on ac count of tha rainy season. Winter Wrk I rwe. "Th tlm 'when the crops must ba hauled la tha tlm when all tbe teama are huy In tha harvest field, and when th farmer can least afford to spare them. Wth good roada tha hauling could be distributed through th Win ter, or th farmer could watch th market, and haul when he could obtain the most for his grain or other crops. "The load that can ba hauled over a road la measured by the worst piece of the road. A leans can haul two tone over a good road, but only on ton ovr a poor on. The bad road takes twice aa many horses and men. and thereby costs tha average farmer 12 50 a day or m a year. "Th auecees which has com to th railroads la from watching th leaks. 8 it will ba with the farmer. "Some may not favor these bills be came they glv th appointive power to the Governor. I bellev It should go to th Oovernor because that placea the responsibility. The state constitu tion contemplates that the Oovernor shall carry the appointive power. Apswiailv rtaa t'pbeld. "Personally I would rather It would be with somebody els, for I hav work enough. But If the appointive power were given m I would devote every possible effort to see that tha new law waa successfully carried out. because if It were not the Governor would be th first to i the finger pointed at him. ome say the appointive power should be In the hands of a board, but a board acts on the suggestion of on man. so that It is. even under this sys tem, a ens-man appointment. If th appointee Is appointed by th Gover nor, he knows he is responsible for th appointment, and he knows th Gov ernor can discharge him tomorrow. It pnta a stop to a lot of red tape, and fixes the responsibility. "If Tha Oregonlan has a better bill than the one we have, let Tha Ore gonlan put It forth, at 1 If it la as god as ours. I will support It. If t.i Granges have a better bill, let thera trot It out. We want th best there Is. Prise Offered Pvatasea. -I want to st the rural carrltrs throughout the stat Interested In good n.a Is. and to do It I hav offered a prise of a rural mall delivery wagon to the carrier sending In to me the best letter telling of the need of good roads and accompanleJ by a photograph of tue worst piece of road he has to travel over, showing th mall wagon la tha press. Rural carriers, and those on tar routes. In th United States travel over 400.000.000 miles a year. Borne districts ar denied rural mall service because tha roada ar so poor. "I shall alao offer a prise later to tha farmer boys of tha slate who will manufacture aplit log drags and use them on a half mile or ao of road, and who will then writ about thlr ex periences. State rragreaa- Cited. "We hav progressed rapidly In this atata; wa hav good banking laws, good forestry protection, a good Rail road Commission law, good lawa for fish preservation, and good laws con serving our water power. The growth of Portland has been phenomenal, but th tint Is coming when the city will become topheavy, and wa can't ask tha newcomer to go back to tha land' If ha hasn't road over which to haul bis produce, to market after ha has put forth th labor to raise It. "I hav traveled over most of th roads of Oregon, and over many of them on a saddle-horse, because I couldn't go over them with a wagon When my term aspire I shall still be able to go over them with a saddle horse, because I haven't sold my horses yet. although I couldn't afford an auto mobile. So you se I shall ba abls to put up with Oregon's poor roads Just as well as anyone also." One of the eight petitions being cir culated for placing tha eight good roads measures on th Initiative ballot has already been filled with the re quired number of names, Maynard Red roont, cashier of tha George W. Bates at Company Bank, having circulated It. Klghty thousand signatures will be needed to place tha bills on tha ballot, and an effort will be mada to obtain to. 000 of these In Portland. Both tha title and text of th measures ara printed In full on th petitions. Governor West will speak at tha East Elde Branch Library at East Eleventh and Morrison streets, at S o'clock tonight, on "Good Roads." His lecture will be Illustrated with stereop tlcon views, aa It was last night. To night's meeting will b under th au spices of the Esst Side Business Men's Club and tha East -Side Improvement Association. HEW YORK MAN TO AID WILLAMETTE ENDOWMENT IS TO BE CRGED. Hc-v. Thomas Xlrholson, Secretary of Board or Education, Will Make Several Addresses. Rev. Thomaa Nicholson, of New York City, secretary of tha board of edu cation of th Methodist Episcopal Church, will arrive In Portland today to conault with th leaders in th ei fort to raise 1100.000 toward tha 1560. ooii endowment fund of Willamette Uni versity. He will remain In Portland a week, and will speak both Bunday morning and Sunday night In local Methodist pulpits. Dr. Nicholson Is said to be ona oi in beat 'noated men In th religious edu cational field In tha United States, and the vtvinsr br him of a week or his time to tha Willamette campaign Is evidence of the Importance which th highest educational authorltlea of tha denomination attach to It. II comes to Portland at th earnest solicitation of Bishops Smith and Hughea. He has been in uoise. wuere. wim BIshon Mushes, hs haa been looking over the field and considering tha ad visability of the founding of tbe Metho dist college In that city. He probably will lay th facts he has gathered be fore the Methodist Board of Education when he returna to New Tork City. Bishop Hughea will return to Portland with Pr. Nicholson. Th bishop will speak Friday night at Eugene. Satur day night at Gunnyside Church and Bunday morning at Salem. Sunday night ha will speak at Taylor-Street Church here. These sermons will be in the Interest of the endowment fund. Plans ar now being laid for a lunch eon to b given in Dr. Nicholson's honor either Saturday or Monday noon, when those interested In th campaign will hav an opportunity to meet him In av aoclal way. Bishop Nuelsen. who la working with the other bishops In behalf of the edu cational Institution, aald yeaterday that Methodlsta ar now In th midst of a campaign for raising 1500,000 aa an en dowment fund for the denominational college at Lincoln, Neb., tha movement being in chare of a layman. Bishop Nuelsen said his only regret Is that Dr. John W. Rancher, ex-presldent of De pauw University, Indiana, was not at liberty to assist In the Lincoln cam paign because It la on at the earns time aa that for Willamette. Dr. Hancher haa been suffering during the last few davs from an affection of tha throat, and was forbidden by bis physlolaa. to speak. He haa now recovered. The preliminary work of tha cam paign nearly haa been finished, ao that today or tomorrow the canvass prob ably will begin for tha securing of pledges. FURNITURE BID UPHELD I. Getrorta Sons Say County Order Was Woo Fairly. The County Court received Jroru I. Oevurts Sons yesterday a letter. In which It waa declared that they bad been given an opportunity to bid on the furnishings for Multnomah Farm and had been beaten fairly and squarely by Ira F. Powers A Co.. th firm which received th contract. Tha communica tion came aa a result of tha criticism heaped on tha County Judge and Coun ty Commissioner in the report of th last grand Jury. "Tha price wa aa low as furniture haa been bought by anyone In this city," tha letter aeta forth, referring to tha pwra bid. "and that company was rightfully entitled to th contract." In reply the County Court aent a let ter, from which th following Is quoted: "This emphasises how unfair and In competent th last grand Jury was In thla and other matters mentioned In lta report." "We received bids from several firms. Including Henry Jenntng Sons," said Judge Cleeton. "Each of tha bidders was low on some Items, but tha firms refused to accept. the contracts for the furnishings on which they wer lowest unlsss they got the whole business. Tha Powers bid averaged lowest all tha way through and w accepted It." PIANOS FOR RENT. New pianos la fins mahogany, oak and walnut far rent at It par month.

Typically a centlemaa of the old school Is Mr. Read now In Portland. Ills raiment Is studiously careless, a (enerous length of loops makes his black tie cover most of the broad front expanse of negligee shirt, his collar stands aloof from his neck, its wide turned back tabs In front adding- to the tout ensemble of careless abandon, and permitting an unhampered view of a splendid throat.

Nevellst L-evee Hla Pipe. "Whenever a pipe gets In such a condition that a woman wants to take It with a pair of tongs and throw It out of the window, then it is Just exactly right for keeping." he smiling ly announced. He showed me a note someone had sent addressed to Mr. O. P. Reed, and asking for an autograph. "Such Is fame," he smiled. Aa Mr. Read would get nicely settled Into a regular cut-and-drled conversa tion "such as Is proper" and expected for Interviews, along would come some festive lad with his menu covered all over with helroglyphlcs slap It down on the table and request an autograph. "Little or big writing, Mr- Read would ask, and then dash It off ac cording to the tastes of the favored one, and limited by the "John Henrys" that had already been placed thereon. "I remind myself of a stuttering man." he said after he'd written "Opie Read" about (0 tiroes. The way he aald it carried a challenge, so I mlnstrelled: "In what way do you remind your self of a stuttering man, Mr. Johnslng." And he said, "Because I repeat myself so often." Read TLIkea Out Golf Laks. Mr. ilead says It Is his private opinion that Portland has the nicest golf links he ever chased over. He passed tha entire afternoon out at the Waverly linka "Wednesday after noon, and says be la qualified to Judge, because he has also chased in every other similar ' plaoe In the country. "Not even In -Scotland is there such soenery," he asserted. I didn't ask why Scotland, any more than anywnere else, because he was so busy telling me about the superiority of Portland's links. "Positively you've got the finest golf course In the world; there's not an other like it on the face of the earth. Til warrant. I stood amazed today to see those two magrniflcent mountains as a background for such a perfect scene. "And what X like most about this country Is a thing that Its natives srem to resent, the quiet dreamy atmo- sphere. I tell you I love Its rain. I could live here all my life and be perfectly happy. Rain is infinitely ulcer than sunshine you can get sun shine anywhere but rain out here is different somehow In quality. The new Multnomah Hotel, in which the interview was being hatched, Mr. Read characterized as the "climax of magnificent modesty," and dipped into considerable languaRe in describing its beauties as he saw them. He has a new book coming out next Fall, called "The Whateley's," jl story of a North Carolina family, and having to do with sociological conditions as Mr. Read has been studying them in Chi cago for a quarter of a century.
