FIGHT OH TDWHSEMD
BILL IS LAUNCHED
Oregon Roads Will Suffer if
Congress Passes Measure.
FUND GRAB DISCERNED
East Would Be Able to Tate Most
of Money Provided and West
Would Get No Roads.
Unless the Townsend bill, now be
fore congress, is defeated, the roaa
building programme now under way
In Oregon and other . public lanas
states will be seriously handicapped.
if not killed, so far as federal assist-
ance is concerned. This is the view
taken by Kood roads men in Oregon,
and at a conference held yesterday an
aggressive campaign was decided on.
In 1916 congress passed the first
federal aid road law, appropriating
$75,000,000. In 1919 this was amended
and $200,000,000 was appropriated. Out
of this $275,000,000 Oregon s snare is
$4,332,178.27. Unless there is another
appropriation the last of these funds
will be distributed by June 30, 192L
Congress is now asked to appropriate
$100,000,000 in addition to the post
road money, and this appropriation
must be approved at the present ses
sion if the present scope of road work
is to be carried on.
Oreg-oa Share (700,000.
Under the $100,000,000 measure
Oregon will receive $1,576,152 for five
years. The Louisville. K.y., conference
of state engineers and state highway
commissioners, held in December,
1919, urged congress to appropriate
$10,000,000 a year for ten years for
the building of county and state roads
within the national forests. Of this
sum Oregon would receive $700,000 a
year. In the past Oregon received
$596,000 of the $3,000,000 forest road
fund, which will be exhausted
June 30.
The situation which confronts Ore
eon and the other 12 public land
states is serious if the Townsend bill
passes. The Oregon State Chamber
of Commerce is backing the resolu
tions, which were adopted at the
Louisville convention, and the memo
rial which was adopted by the special
session of the Oregon legislature,
which backs up the Louisville re so
lution.
Five Soft Jobs Created.
The high spots in the Townsend
bill are that it will create a group of
some five highly-paid officials, with
headquarters in Washington, D. C to
handle the government road money;
these road officials can reimburse
Btates for money the states have ex
pended for the construction of roads
which came up to the specifications
named in the Townsend bill. There is
practically none of the public roads
In Oregon which can qualify under
the Townsend bill specifications, but
there are many such roads in the
eastern states, so that a big bulk of
the money would go to the eastern
states and the western states would
derive few benefits.
The Townsend bill centralizes the
road building of the government in
the hands of a few men and does
away with the co-operation between
state highway commissions and the
bureaus and departments in Wash
ington which now exists.
In short, the Townsend bill com
pletely upsets the road programme in
Oregon, so far as federal aid is con
cerned, and works a similar hardship
in the other dozen public land states.
Conference Plans Fight.
Because of this situation, a confer
ence was called yesterday morning
at the office of J. L. Meier to con
sider what action should be taken.
Those present were: J. L. Meier,
Secretary Quayle of the State Cham
ber of Commerce; Truman Butler and
Leslie Butler of Hood River, B. F.
Jones of Newport, R. C. Hedin of
Waplnitia, R. C. Holman, George Jo
seph, Frank Irvine, J. K. Wheeler, li
B. Piper and L. E. Bean of Eugene.
Mr. Bean presented the case of the
public land states at Washington a
few weeks ago when a delegation
from Oregon and the other states ap
peared there to urge support of the
resolutions adopted by the Louisville
convention.
The plan determined on at yester
day's conference is to follow up the
work of the delegations of the public
lands states and to point out the rea
sons why the Townsend bill, if en
acted by congress, will jeopardize the
highway development of the western
states. There is a rumor that the
cement Interests and the road ma
chinery interests are working in be
' half of th'e Townsend bill.
it me western states are to re
eeive their quota of road money from
the government for co-operation, as
in the past, and by means of which
long strides have been made toward
a comprehensive highway system,
particularly in Oregon, the only sal
vation, it Is pointed out, is through
congress following the suggestions
maae in the resolutions of the Louis
ville convention to appropriate $100.

State Land Board.
SALEM, Or, March 12. (Special.)
A recent ruling of the state land
board requiring persons removing
sand and gravel from navigable
streams in Oregon to pay a minimum
of 10 cents a cubic yard confronts the
state highway commission with a sit
uation which will add approximately
10 per cent to the cost of these ma
terials purchased for road construc
tion. This came o light today when
J. M. Devers. attorney for the high
way commission, prepared a contract
for the purchase of approximately
30,000 yards of sand and gravel for
state highway work from W. M.
Payne of Marshfield. fj -
It was stipulated in this contract,
according to Mr. Devers, that in case
the state insists upon a return of 10
cents a yard for these materials, it
will be necessary to add the sum to
the cost assessed against the state
Highway department.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, March 12. There is
some evidence of consternation among
shippers over a report that- in the re
construction of the interstate com
merce commission, Dwight M. Mor
row, of the banking firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co., is to be appointed to
the commission.
That President Wilson is consider
ing the appointment of Mr. Morrow,
became known here today, and with it
went the further information that the
president Is considering a definite
change in the character of appoint
ments to this important body.
With three commissioners to appoint,
as will happen under the new rail
road bill, and with the present mem
bership about neutralizing itself, it
is realized the president will have
the opportunity practically to recom
pose the commission. The theory
wllich is being considered is the ap
pointment of men who will have both
knowledge of finance and of rail
roading, which is interpreted by the
alert shippers' representatives as
meaning men who will be friendly
to the railroad interpretation of the
new bill, rather than favorable to the
shippers.
Bank Fosters Plan.
Those who are fearful of the new
theory said to prevail at the White
House relative to the additional ap
pointments point to a significant
article in the weekly publication is
sued by the National City bank of
New Tork, which advocates the iden
tical plan, the president is said to be
considering.
Shippers who are objecting to this
idea Join in the belief that the com
mission should be strengthened, but
the reported consideration of the
name of Mr. Morrow convinces them
that the plan will lean backward and
that its application will tend greatly
to ruin the success of the new effort
at the private operation of the rail
roads.
Attention is called to the history
of Mr. Morrow. As a member of the
firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., it
was he who stood between the Mor
gan firm and the interstate commerce
commission in its investigation of the
looting of the New Haven & Hartford
This was in 1914. Mr. Morgan said
then that his books were open to in
spection by a proper tribunal, and
Commissioner McChord promptly ac
cepted the offer. When it came to
the investigation, Mr. Morrow, acting
for Mr. Morgan, refused to allow the
investigators to see only those things
ne pleased, saying the interstate com
merce commission was not a proper
tribunal to make the investigation.
Shippers Are Aroused. .
The shippers, who are watching ev
ery move of the reorganization of the
transportation system of the country,
point out that in the framing of the
mill tne railroad' influences desired
to have the powers now exercised by
the interstate commerce commission
transferred to a transportation board
which also would have passed on the
issuance of securities. In the appoint
ment of one so closely affiliated with
Wall street as Mr. Morrow, they pro
fess to see the accomplishment by in
direct methods of what was impos
sible by direct ones.
One of the chief criticisms directed
against government operation of the
roads was that it was done by rail
road men and in the interest of the
railroads, with the exception of wages
for employes and that from neither
of these classes did the shipper or
the general public receive any con
sideration. They believe that in the
reorganization of the interstate com
merce commission, the shippers and
the public should be given a chance to
be heard and that experts can be
found who will represent that point of
view.
An interesting bit of gossip Is that
John Barton Payne, recent chairman
of the shipping board and more re
cently named secretary of the interior,
may be placed on the interstate com
merce commission. It is suggested he
would meet the qualifications for
which the White Hoie is said to be
looking, as Mr. Payne has long been
a railroad attorney and was general
counsel of the railroad administration.
E. B. Everett, trading as the Berk
shire company of Portland, appeared
before the Oregon supreme court here
today and urged that O. M. Plummer,
building inspector of the city of Port
land be compelled to grant them a
permit to erect an apartment house.
It was charged by the attorneys for
Mr. Kelley and Mr. Everett that the
filed formal application for the de
sired permit with Mr. Plummer, but
that he refused to meet their request,
on the ground that the Portland
building code prohibited the erection
of apartment houses in the district in
which the proposed structure was to
be located. The applicants appealed
to the city council of Portland, with
the result that this body unanimously
approved the action taken by Mr.
Plummer.
Mr. Kelley and Mr. Everett th-en
brought mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court In which they asked
that Mr. Plummer be made to issue
the permit.
E ' MILL LIKEL
PLANT PROMISED VANCOUVER,
WASH., ON CONDITIONS.
Conncil Takes Steps to Vacate
Streets Sought by L. W. Lead
better on Waterfront.
VANCOUVER, Wash., March 12.
(Special.) At a special meeting of
the city council today, F. W. Lead
better of Portland made a proposal
to the city council, that if it would
vacate certain streets, which run into
his waterfront property on the Co
lumbia river, he would build a sul
phite mill, and start construction
within 20 days, have it completed in
six months and would give employ
ment to 100 men to start and 500
men within 6ix months after the mill
begins to operate. A sawmill will
bef.built at once, and eventually
paper mill will be erected.
Mr. Leadbetter said that it would
be to his advantage to have the mill
here instead of shipping the paper
pulp to California to be made into
the finished product as when ship
ping pulp, it includes 40 per cent
water.
The council gave Mr. Leadbetter
assurance that it will grant his re
quest if it is legally possible.
The proposition will be taken up
at the regular meeting to be held
Monday night.
While Mr. Leadbetter said he would
not promise that he will build a paper
mill here, he said that a paper mul
would naturally follow after a sul
phite mill is built. The pulp can
be turned into the finished paper
and shipped out instead of paying
heavy freight rates on the raw pulp.

Investigation of Injury of Mrs.
William Stanton Made by City
Traffic Department.
S. D. Alexander of Goble has been
absolved from blame in connection
with the automobile accident in which
his machine struck and injured Mrs.
William Stanton, 697 Thurman street.
at Twenty-fifth and Upshur streets
on the night of Wednesday, March 3,
according: to announcement made
yesterday by Captain of Traffic
Lewis.
Mr. Alexander made- a report to
Captain Lewis which, together with
the investigation made by the tratric
department, showed that the case was
accidental. It was declared.
First reports received by the police
were that the driver who struck Mrs.
Stanton had driven off without ren-
erins- her assistance. This has been
disproved as the result of the inves
tigation, which showed that Mr. Alex
ander took the injured woman to her
home. Captain Lewis said.
The daughter of Mrs. Stanton, who
was home at the time, apparently un
derstood that Mr. Alexander had
nicked the woman up in an uncon
scious condition and that some other
driver had struck her. For this rea
son the police instituted a search or
the driver of the machine whleh
struck Mra. Stanton.
Mrs. Stanton was reported to De
improving in a satisfactory manner
her home yesteraay. it is ej-
nected she win bo able to sit up In a
few days. Her leg was fractured and
she received a cut on the head, be
sides bruises as a result of the acci
dent.
