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.

STATE LABOR JACKED
MEASURE FOR AMENDMENT
IDLE ASKED BY PETITION.
anta are tho other children. of Alexan
der Hayes.
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.
