One Item of this re port reads: 'a-': .: "Upon ; TlTursday morning your com- mittee met and - was attended by Mr. Mariner Of the special committee of tho legislature, under whose supervision the five good roads bills came, and he dis- ,'' cussed with the general nature, - ef feet and purpose of these bills as th same came before that committee and it were reported to the . legislature and f exhibited certain printed copies of the I bills In his possession which entirely i differ from the copies of the bills re V ferred to your committee.'' The copies In the possession of the committee had -been copied word for word as filed with the secretary of i state, by Walter I Priest, secretary of ' the association, and1 these had after v wards been verified. The suggestion : follows: "-' ; "That Immediate steps be taken to as T certain exactly what bills were passed f. and the condition In which . they were ' passed." .-..-; Calls legislature a Class Body. After reading the report of the com- mittee and after the good roada assocla ;. tlon . had disavowed the bills, recom- mending their veto by the governor, W. : C. Bristol,5 chairman of the committee, j moved that The Journal be requested f to "put before the people the fact that ; from the legislature will never be ob- talned legislation for alt the people." ', Features of the roads bills that make them inoperative and possibility uncon t stltutlonal were recited by the special committee consisting of w, C, Bristol, C. T. Prall and James Cole,' as follows: ' The so-ealled state aid bill Is not a valid enactment because It falls to des ' Ignate the method 'of payment of money, l the certainty of the acceptance of the I same, the disposition of the remaining portion of the funds, and. If Mr. Marl ner is correct, leaves section 17 of the bonding act to be read together with the state eld bill, and this la not con l stltutlonal legislation. . ., . "The title of the highway commission . till epecif led two things: The creation of: a highway board, etc., and the crea v tlon of the office of highway commls- sioner, etc., - and an examination of the act shows that the office of the hlgh- way commissioner, tho purposes of the , same and the duties to be performed by him are separate and distinct from the supervisory duties bf the stats high - war board, and the doubt naturally axis- in that this latin contravention of ar tide 4. eectlonfJO, of the constitution, . inasmuch, as more than one subject is ' ) embraced In "the title of the act. It "" will be noted that the only duties the ' state highway, board have to perform .. . are to appoint, the highway com mission , er and then meet once a month to ap prove their own traveling expenses, and " the legal Question therefore la present- ed whether this bill is not strictly a , bill to create the office of highway commissioner, and whether Incidentally It has created a board to take the ap . pointing- power from the governor ana give It to the state highway board. "Tonr attention Is called In this con nection to section 10 of this bill, which Is known aa house bill M. Section 10 provide for ; Joint; reports to the gov emor, and at the same time attention Is called to section ,12, which fives the commissioner the exclusive right to ap point a clerk for himself. , Oaa City Prisoners Be Worked! ; "Under the bill, copy' Of which sub- mltted to us as 'Exhibit D, hereto at ' tached and known as "City and County . Convict Labor Bill, county prisoners are to work pursuant to present laws already In force, but the legal question arises whether city prlsons can be so ,- worked within the present conditions of the ordinances of the city of Port . Jand relative- to .the transmission: of these prisoners and the exchange of - ' their jurisdiction from strictly city con trol to county control without the in terposition of the law or the proper - sentence of a court to cover, as habeas . corpus proceedings would doubtless re , " lease the prisoner." i The foregoing statements '"' sum up " why the veto of the roads bills was ' asked by the association. A meeting of the association haa been called for next Tuesday evening, when the 'matter of Papering- good roads legislation for ac on by the people at the next election Will be discussed, and a proposal heard : for reorganization of the association upon a tasls of smaller dues and in creased statewide membership. : ART LOVERS OF CITY PROPOSE TO ORGANIZE Patterning after , the Salmagundi club - , of New Tork, or the Bohemian club of San Franclsoo, the artists of Portland, Including- everybodyjn the city enraged In any of the arts, are to organic a . club and fit up elubrooms.

Salem, Or., Feb. f4.-yArtlcles of in corporation of the Metollus A Prlnevllle Railroad company were filed with the secretary of state this morning. The capital stock of the new railroad corpor ation Is fixed at SofcOOO, and the princi pal office is named as Portland, i The incorporators are Harrison Alien, O. C. Friable, and E. McCulloch. ; It Is .the object of the corporation " as set forth in the articles, to build a railroad con necting Metollus with Prlnevllle. i Harrison 1 Allen, an attorney In this city, who Is one of the Incorporators of the Metollus A ' Prlnevllle Railroad company, -aid" this morning that the new corporation la not identified in any way with the Hill or the Harrlman in terests, but that it is a private corpora tion, planning to build a railroad from Metollus to Prlnevllle. He said he was not in position. to aay-what kind, of a road would be built whether to be op erated toy steam or electricity, --- "Our engineer has not yet' returned front the field,"' said Mr. Allen, "and I ' have nothing to give ' out for publication until Ihave conferred with him." .. i;'":; ' Prominent business men and cltlaens of the town of Prlnevllle are also plan ning the construction of a railroad from their town to connect with the Oregon Trunk and the Deschutes Railway lines somewhere In the vicinity of Bend. Their plans, V it Is - understood, are to build an electric road, which It is figured would give better service than a steam road ia view of the distance from Prlne vllle to a connecting -point, being only 25 miles. Another feature favoring the electric road is said to be the abund ance of electric power available both on the Deschutes and Crooked rivers.
