BIG MEN EXPRESS VIEWS
Paving Companies Will Be Obliged
to Submit " Bids at Legitimate
Profit or Lose Work, Is
General Opinion.
iirtnouncement by the State High
way Commission of its decision to buy
one or more paving- plants and do its
own paving unless satisfactory bids
are submitted by contractors, has re
ceived the indorsement of people in all
sections of the state. Judging from
the many letters on the subject that
have reached good roads headquarters
in the Selling building, it is uniformly
the opinion of the authors of these
letters that the adoption of this pol
icy by the commission has greatly
stimulated sentiment in favor of the
bonds.
"Tv nrinntlnir this policy the High
way Commission has removed the chief
objection that has been urged by the
opponents of the road bond bill." said
Bruce Dennis, executive secretary of
the Legislative good roads committee,
yesterday. "Application of the an
nminr.ed nolicv of the commission
leaves the opponents of the road bond
measure, who would defeat the bonds
by instilling the suspicion that the
state would be robbed by the paving
companies, without a leg to stand on.
Prominent Men Urnrtllr Approve.
Governor Withycombe. County Judge
Bushev. of Marion County; County
TnriD-o tcirknatrick. of Polk County
State Senator Vinton, of Yamhill
County; State Senator Garland, of Linn
Countv: State Representative Fuller.
of Polk County. and State Senator
Wood, of Washington County, are in
eluded amone those who have given
their hearty approval of the announced
nolicv of the commission.
Th followine are excerpts from
some of the many letters on the sub
1ect that have reached good roads
headquarters:
Governor Withycombe: "My confl
dence In the integrity and business
ability of the commission is absolute
and I know that they will give us
one hundred per cent efficiency for all
public money expended for highway
construction
William M. Bushey. County Judge,
Marion County: "I believe that this is
the proper policy to pursue and the
voters should fully understand that
this policy is to be carried out. The
state will be greatly benefited thereby.'
W. T. Vinton, State Senator; Yamhill
County: "Even though the plants are
not used, it will tend to force the con
tractors to submit bids at such prices
as would only give them a legitimate
profit."
Samuel L. Garland, State Senator,
Linn County: "This policy, in my opin
ion, removes the only argument against
the road bond bill.
Bids Will Be Close to Coat.
W. V. Fuller. State Representative
"Polkj County: "This policy will enable
the commission to get bids from the
paving companies very close to actual
cost."
W. D. Wood, State Senator, Washing
ton County: "Even though they were
never used the ownership of these pav
ing plants by the state would no doubt
have a potential power in securing bet
ter bids upon any public work. This
position of the commission should be
taken as a sufficient guarantee that
the state is to get value received for
each dollar expended."
N. N. Blumensaadt, Rainier: "The
Highway Commission have shown that
they are loaded with good Judgment
and common horse-sense."
O. D. Teel, Echo: "The proposal of
the Commission to buy its own pav
ing plants meets with my approval."
People Strong, for Thin Policy.
Dr. J. W. Donnelly, Arlington: "The
people of my section of the state are
strong for the policy of the commis
sion." Dr. C. H. Chapman, Portland: "The
adoption of this policy will reassure
the public upon a point where there
has been some question. I am of the
opinion that the state can in many
cases do its own paving economically
and when it can do so it should not
permit private interests to stand in the
way of the public good."
H. J. Overturff, manager Bend Com
mercial Club: "This policy will have a
most beneficial effect on the honest
opponents of the bonds and drive the
poison gas artists to the trouble of
getting a new supply of negative ar
guments."
H. R. Morris, secretary Newberg
Commercial Club: "Our organization
most heartily Indorses the commission's
plan.
Arguments Are Refuted. .
J. K. McGregor, Mosier: "The de
cision of the commission should have
the effect of refuting the argument of
the road bond opponents that the meas
ure is designed for the benefit of the
paving companies.
E. J. Jaeger, Portland: "The action
or the commission ought to Insure ron-
fldence that all work will be done at
tne lowest possible figure. I can assure
you that as a property holder and tax-
payer I am greatly interested in the
road bond measure and trust It will
pass Dy an overwhelming maioritv.
E. C. Kirkpatrick, County Judge Pollc
County: "It is certainly the only thing
for the commission to do. It will keep
ine blading contractors to a level
consistent with efficiency and cnH
material. It matters not if the paving
plants are never used. It will have the
effect most desired. It is as necessary

Durlng Programme.
An old-fashioned - spelling bee was
the feature of the graduation exercises
of the Multnomah County schools, held
at the Central Library yesterday. Verna
Stark, 11 years old, from Gilbert School,
carried off first honors after a gruel
ling contest that took two hours to
decide. She was presented with a
nobby new gold wrist watch by Isaac
Staples, of Portland.
Twenty pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades of the schools of the
county outside of Portland participated
in the competitive spell. Early In the
afternoon they were put through a
written spelling contest, conducted by
A. li. Sproul, principal of the High
School of Commerce, Portland.
A programme intervened and In the
late afternoon the spelling contestants
were assembled on the platform in
Library Hall and they spelled down a.
list of 160 words, many of them tough
ones, too, being given by H. H. Herd
man, principal of Washington High
ocnooi. Portland.
Four Girls Survive,
There were many old friends of the
spelling book in the list and occasional
ly an unwary speller tripped over them.
winning thereby a. demerit mark. The
list was repeated several times and
when the end came four were tied for
first honors and all four were girls.
To these four was given a written
list, whereon numerous words ap
peared misspelled In sentences. They
were instructed to write all misspelled
words correctly, and after 15 minutes
of close application they turned in
their papers. Little Miss Stark had only
one error in her list and was acclaimed
the winner.
Spelling is a study that has. evi
dently, not been neglected in the
schools of the county, for the con
testants were highly proficient in this
branch. They came to the graduation
exercises yesterday as winners of com
munity spells, which established their
right to represent their various dis
tricts at yesterday's county match.

stadium while the others looked on.
The grand finale to the day's good
work was the dance.

The sophomores won the grand prize
of the day In the clean-up contest. The
class numbers 200, and the members
were under the leadership of "Wardy"
Kearns and supervised by the Misses
Betz and Labor. The "sophs" did more
work In a given time than any of the
other classes. The "sophs" also won
the flag rush, and, under the leader
ship of Newton, Fulton and McCormlck,
floated the sophomore banner high In
the tops of a tree. All the other classes
united forces in an effort to displace
it. but the "allies," under Art Mc
Kenzie, after a 30-mlnute struggle,
were ordered to recede anl the victory
given to the sophomores by Principal
Ball.
The flag rush was staged with all
the thrills of a regular college event.
The sophomores presented an Invincible
front, and the united other three
classes of the school more than 850
strong hit the "sophs' " line time and
again In an effort to break it and
lower the banner. "Pudge" Brown. Mc
Kenzie. Powell and Read and other
huskies of the school led the attack
against the forces captained by New

In Selling Campaign.
Oregon is expected to produce at
least 60.000 individual subscribers to
the liberty loan.
Subscriptions are expected to range
from $50 to $100,000 each. In the case
of rich corporations It would not be sur
prising to see some $1,000,000 sub
scriptions.
But the clearing-house committee in
charge of the campaign is eager to
have the bonds distributed among the
maximum number of Individuals. It is
obviously more Important for the suc
cessful conduct of the war to obtain
100 subscribers of $50 each than 10
subscribers of $500 each.
To arouse the widest possible inter
est in the loan. Emery Olmstead, chair
man of the clearing-house committee.
on distribution, has called a meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce for 8
o'clock next Tuesday night.
A. L. Mills Will Speak.
A. L. Mills, president of the First
National Bank, and C. A. Miller, rep
resenting the Federal Reserve Bank at
San Francisco, will address the meet
ing.
Mr. Olmstead is extending special in
vitations to all employers In Portland
to attend the meeting. It Is presumed
that some steps will be taken whereby
the employers will buy bonds In large
blocks and enable employes to pay for
them on the Installment plan.
Many large employers already have
made such arrangements, including the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railways, the American Express Com
pany and Wells, Fargo & Company
Express.
A. H. Peterson, general agent for
Wells. Fargo & Company, was advised
yesterday that the company will per
mit Its employes to buy bonds on the
credit of the company with permission
to distribute the payments over a pe
riod of a year.
The Tillamook Lodge No. 1260. of the
Loyal Order of Moose, lias subscribed
for a $1000 bond.
Aid of Banks Is Sought.
The local committee's headquarters
In the Northwestern National Bank
building has circularized all the coun-
ry banks in the state in the expecta
tion of gaining their active aid In the
ampaign. Replies began coming back
yesterday and show that the people
in the rural districts are becoming
thoroughly aroused to their patriotic
duty of investing in liberty bonds.
One man inquired at tne f irst na
tional Bank yesterday about the pro-
edure necessary to subscribe for $150.-
000 worth of bonds. He may make for
mal application this week.
Application was made at the North
western National yesterday for an In
dividual subscription of $100,000.
Carl S. Kelty to Tour.
Carl S. Kelty, treasurer of the Lum-
bermens Trust Company, will leave to
morrow on a tour of the state in the
interest of the selling campaign.
Mr. Kelty will visit Salem, Eugene,
Albany, Corvallls and McMlnnvIlle with
in the next few days, advising with
the local organizations already formed
in those cities for the disposal of lib
erty bonds and distributing literature.
The week following he will campaign
in other districts of the state.
The situation simmers down to the
fact that these bonds must be sold, or
the money needed by the Government
will be raised by taxation. said Mr.
Kelty.
In a communication addressed to the
Portland banks yesterday Secretary Mc-
Adoo. of the Treasury Department, es
timated that there are 10,000,000 Indi
viduals and corporations in the United
States who are able to make subscrip
tions to the new liberty loan in
amounts ranging from $100 to $100,
000,000 each.
This estimate, says the communi
cation, "is conservative when, we con
sider that there are mor. than 40,000,-
000 persons engaged in profitable oc
cupations in this country besides the
large number of men and women whose
income Is derived from their , invest
ments. If . every individual In the United
States should subscribe to the new
bonds to the extent of only 6 per cent
of his or her total possessions the loan
would be subscribed six times over."

ous telegrams and letters alleged to
have been received by her husband
from other women. The telgram pur
porting to come from the woman In
Oakland was shown to Judge Tucker
during the hearing.
There have been several times during
their married life that they have sepa
rated, said Mrs. Keasey, but the final
straw came when her husband told her
that he had ceased to love her as a
wife.
"He came to my room one morning
and told me of how when a boy he
would awaken in the night and cry at
the thought of his mother dying some
day." she testified. "He then told me
that his love for me was the same as
that for hi mother. It was a mother
love, he said, and not the love that a
man would have for his wife. Such
an Idea was so repulsive to me that I
told him that we could not live
together any longer."
Mr. Keasey, it was announced In.
court, would not contest his wife's
fight for a divorce decree. Following
the hearing yesterday Judge Tucker
took the ca.e under advisement.
