FINAL ROAD CODE DRAFT GONE OVER PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS FOR 1917. 9 Sale Beginning Monday Morning - Oregon Good Roads Commit tee Would Incorporate as C Permanent Body. IK :"v r- n mm NON-SALARIED JOBS MADE X 6 of Ladies9 1 TVTir r i saaBMaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Tax of One-Half Mill for State Pur poses Is Provided New System Would Abolish Supervisors. . Jjewis Explains Report.. SALEM, Or., Jan. 20 (Special.) Final draft of the road code, proposed by the Oregon good roads committee, vaa gone over and discussed at a meet ing here tonight by Claude McColloch, attorney for the committee, and Dis trict Attorneys Neuner, Of Douglas, and Bell, of Wasco counties, members of the District Attorneys" committee, and the code will be introduced in the form of a bill Monday. Others at the meet ing were: O. W. Taylor, chairman of the committee; J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union, and J. A. Smith, of Gilliam County. ' The code In substance will Provide for one-half-mill tax for state road purposes. Provide for a State Highway Com mission of three members, with the State Engineer acting ex-officlo as one of the members, and the other two members to be non-salaried and ap pointed by the Governor on recommen dations siibmitted by the Oregon good roads committee. The committee will submit a number of recommendations for the executive to choose from. Assistants to Be Appointed. The Highway Commission will have power to appoint assistants, including an expert engineer, or a competent road builder, as it sees fit. The work of the commission will be confined to state roads and roads may be added by law or the commission to the pres ent highways as now mapped. The bill will create a County Engi neer for each county, to be employed by the County Court, or the court,may employ a roadmaster instead of an engineer, as It sees fit, this power to be similar to that vested In the High way Commission. Provision is made for a map of coun ty roada for each county, to be ap proved by the Highway Commission, these roads to be well traveled thor oughfares with due regard paid to their leading to market centers.. The bill will abolish the office of road supervisor, and in lieu of the supervisor system establishes an entirely new one for handling road district affairs. Pro vision is made for an annual meeting of the electors in every road district to name three trustees, who are to serve without compensation whatsoever, and to have charge of district roads, which will include all roads other than state or county roads. lO-MIH District Tax Allowed. The bill also allows the levying of an annual district tax of not to ex ceed 10 mills for work on district roads, this money to be expended by the three trustees. County roads will be worked out of a general levy not to exceed 7 mills, to be expended by the court under the direction of the engineer or roadmaster. The bill does away with the present apportionment, of road funds, which In cludes a levy of 10 mills, SO per eent of which Is to go to the county and 70 per cent to the districts, based on their assessed valuation. "The new road code is based largely en the Iowa Idea," stated Mr. McCul locb In discussing Its features today. 'The final draft of the bill was ap proved by the executive committee at a meeting In Portland yesterday. It is our plan to have the bill Introduced Monday so as to get as early a start as ' possible with It before the Joint high way committee." Direct price competition between pat ented and unpatented processes, a con spiracy statute to prevent collusion among contractors in bidding on . pub lic work, direct payment of patent roy alties by the state are some of the provisions which State Engineer Lewis, Mr. Lewis Explains. Ill explaining these recommendations Mr. Lewis gave out the following state ment today: The moit Important of these recom mnnrtHtinni. according to Mr. Lewis, is a conspiracy statute with suitable penalties to prevent collusion among contractor. iu submitting brds tor public work, thus com pelling actual and open competition. . That where patented materials or proc esses be used upon public work, it shall onlv ba after direct price competition with unDatented products of similar character. A bill containing substantially thla idea was introduced In the 1915 Legislature by Sena tor Blnffham and was defeated. This recom mendation Is in harmony with section 4, regulation 8, of the rules adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture ror tne aaminis tr'ation of the Federal road aid act." :. It la recommended "that patent royalties be paid directly by the state and not by the contractor. The state to defend Its contractors In any suit for lnfringment. Permission to sue the state for patent In fringement should be granted, in order to Drevent injunction suits brought against Its officer' and the work stopped. This Is the only way to secure real competition upon patented processes. x ma recommen dation is largely based on California prac tlce." "That before any royalties are paid by the state on patented device or process used upon state work, the patents be Investigated and the claims approved Jointly by the At torney-General and the State Engineer. Also providing that all suits lor Infringement brought against the state, state officials or contractors working unuer the direction or the state, be defended by the Attorney-Gen eral, and that highway funds may be used by him in tho defense of such suits or ac tion. This recommendation is based on legis- tlon tn Nebraska, where an appropriation was made with which the Attorney-General , could test the validity of claims for royalty.' The State Engineer was recently informed by the State Highway Engineer of Nebraska that the appropriation has not been used, nor tins the stnte p:'id any royalties. SSSSSSSSSWBKSKSS I JC Aw :. i k At an enthusiastic meeting of nearly 300 members of the Progressive Busi ness Men's Club Thursday, the above officers were elected for the year, 1917. E. A.

Need of Provision for Those Who Want to Work and Cannot Get Places Is Pointed Oat. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) More than 200 prominent citizens from 56 cities and towns In Oregon have sig-ned a statement which will be placed on the desks of all the members of the Legislature Monday favoring the pas sage of ' House joint resolution No. 2. The resolution is being supported by the organized labor interests and de clares in favor of submitting a consti tutional amendment placing the state on record to provide employment for all Its citizens 10 give them the neces sities of life. The liberally signed statement fa voring the resolution is in. part as follows: The solution of the problem of unemploy ment Is no longer expected as a result ot Industrial prosperity. Large and increasing numbers of our peo ple have beQ eliminated! from industry by machinery, and the multiplied requirements of skill and efficiency with which their limited opportunities have not permitted them to keep pace. Hence they are not In cluded within the scope of prosperity, how ever widespread It may seem to be. These are conclusions of the best authori ties Investigating these problems. The - present .policy of relief, which Is practiced alike by County Courts, charitable agencies and Individuals, consists almost ex cluelvely of almsgiving. This almsgiving constitutes an indirect tax. the aggregation of which would be amply sufficient, if prop erly applied, to provide methods of relief hat would be self-sustaining and thus elim inate the Indirect tax of alms and at the same time help the economically dependent to honorable self-support. The view is held by many people that a large portion of our unemployed have not received their Just share of the proceeds and advantages of industry and that some method of readjustment should be made. At any rate, those who are both willing and able to work should not be branded as paupers or forced to beg. On the other hand, those who seek to live without work should be defeated In any such purpose. with preparation to furnish employment enough to give the necessaries of life to those who are not so employed by private Industry, both the worthy and the unworthy can be dealt with justly and effectively. Both the economic and humanitarian phases of the problem call for intelligent action, and In order that the genera) prin ciple Involved may be passed upon by the people of this state, you are asked to sup port House Joint resolution No. 2, submitting to popular vote the constitutional amend ment designed for that purpose. This measure asks for -no appropriation. The people will vote upon It tn November, 1013, In the full appreciation of their tax burdens at that time. Not unless and until It is approved by the people will the details of Its development be undertaken, and then. step by step, in laws thereafter to be framed and enacted.
