' ON HIGHWAY BILL
"(By Journal leased -Balem Wire.)
Salem, Or., Jan, 2 . Senator Johnson's
highway commission bill has emerged
from the committee on roads and high
ways with a favorable report, but three
members of the committee, composing a
majority, took the floor to explain that
thev were not committed to It. and
might vote nb" when' the time came.
Those making this explanation Were
Smith of Umatilla, Smith of Marion and
Hart of Baker. (Amendments reported
by the committee were adopted, and the
bill goes to, third reading.
The old highway bill, which was vetoed-by
the governor, has been made a
special -order for . next Wednesday.
Johnson Is apparently still undecided
whether to ask for passage of the bll'
over the veto or to abandon it for the
new bill. Ha Is playing both bills, pre
pared to get behind the one that looks
most promising . when the crucial mo
ment comes. '
