SENATOR EAGER FOR
BONDS TO Will
ROAD
Mr. Chamberlain Points Ou
That Highways Are Military
Necessity in War Time.
NATIONAL ROAD IS PLANNED
Bill Will Be Introduced to Provide
for Highway Encircling Coun
try Over Which to Move
Troops Guarding Borders.
loney spent for good roads is an
investment not an expenditure," as
serted Senator Chamberlain, who was
home yesterday to attend the funeral
or his late colleaarne. Senator Lane.
Oregon's senior United States Senator
Is chairman of the military affairs com
mittee and is inclined to look upon the
roads question as one Involving- mill
tary necessities. He Inquired earnestly
yesterday regarding? the probable fate
of the (6,000,000 road bond issue, which
will be before the voters of Oregon
next Monday.
"I don't know the exact terms of the
road bill here," he commented, "but the
road question no longer permits of
serious debate. It merely is a question
oi spending the money judiciously.
Senator Chamberlain has given deep
thought to the road question in connec
tion with military legislation and has
prepared a bill providing for construe
tion of a military highway at Federal
expense around the rim of the United
States.
Military Roads Wanted.
"If we get through with the more
pressing war legislation In time, I
shall Introduce my bill at the present
session," he explained. "It Is becom
ing more and more Important every
year to nave a well-developed road on
the outskirts of the country, so that
troops can be moved with ease and dis
patch from on point of the border to
another."
The road DroDosed In the Renatnr'a
bill would skirt the northern boundary
oi tno country from the extreme north
eastern corner of Maine to the north
western corner of Washington. Jt
wouia zouow tne racmc coast through
Washington, Oregon and California and
cross the southern edge of the country
from California to Texas. A highway
along the Atlantlo Coast from Florida
to Main would complete the circuit.
Laterals Would Be Built.
This road would be built primarily
with the view of using It for military
purposes, but it would also be avail
able for commercial and tourist traf
fic. The several state and county gov
ernments then could develop their local
markets and tourist roads by building
connections with the Federal highway.
"With the draft bill out of the way,
the most Important war legislation now
pending In Congress," declared the Sen
ator, "la the revenue bill. The Senate
committee on finance Is holding hear
ings on it in our absence.
"I am confident that the Senate will
eliminate some of the items In the bill
as It passed the House, particularly the
retroactive feature of the income tax
provision. It is quite possible, too, that
some of tha other high-tax provisions
will be cut out.
"Congress will legislate, though, to
make the present generation pay a
substantial share of the war expenses."
Draft BUI Recorded Highly.
The Senator considers the draft bill
the most important piece of legislation
adopted by the present war Congress.
"Under this bill," he explained, "every
man of military age can be called to
perform some useful service in the de
fense of the country. It will place the
burden of responsibility precisely where
It belongs. It will make it impossible
for one family to send all its sons to
the front, while the members of an
other family all stay at home."
Next to the draft bill, the Senator
considers the National defense "act,
passed last year, as the most important
Item of military legislation. This
measure applies In times of peace as
well as during the war. It has reor
ganized the regular Army, increasing
Its normal strength, and has Federal
ized the National Guard. It will place
the country on a parity with other
leadings nations In maintaining its de
fensive forces, he says.
Roosevelt Not to Go.
Senator Chamberlain thinks it un
likely that Colonel Roosevelt will be
sent to Europe at the head of an Amer
ican volunteer army, as he has re
quested. "No one In Washington doubts the
sincerity of the Colonel's request," he
asserted, "nor his courage, ability or
patriotism, but the best advice of ex
perienced Army officers is that .he
American forces be commanded by reg
ular Army men.
"The boys that we send over there
are entitled to have the best leaders
that our country can produce. I hope
U will not be considered a reflection on
Colonel Roosevelt when we say that he
lacks the experience of some of our
Army officers.
"Acting oa the advice of the General
Btaff, the President decided a few
weeks ago that It would be inadvisable
to send Colonel Roosevelt to Europe at
this time, and I don't believe he -has
had cause to change his mind since

HUSBAND AWAITED A YEAR
Pearl Anderson Appeals to Official
to Have Wedding Annulled. .
For more than a year Pearl Toung
Anderson,, thrice married, has waited
In vain for the return of "friend hus
band." For 15 months, to be exact, she
has kept the candle burnlng,,but final
ly has given up all hopes.
Yesterday she appeared at the Dis
trict Attorney's office and sought as
sistance In her efforts to get her mar
riage to Oscar Anderson annulled. She
gave the county officials evidence of
alleged fraud in securing the marriage
license and she wanted an annullment
of the marriage. If possible, without
the usual cost of prosecuting a divorce
action.
This was Pearl's third venture into
the matrimonial lottery, she said yes
terday, but It proved less successful
than her two former attempts. They
were marlred February 16, 1916. The
following morning she took her hus
band downtown to attend to a busi
ness matter, when he disappeared
through a doorway and has kept go
ing ever since.
