DECLARES PRALL
"Governor Continuously in Fa
vor of Good Roads Legis- i
lation," Says President of
Oregon Highway Ass'n.
i
"The sincere pood roads advocates of
Oregon believe In Governor West; they
do not believe he 1 trying to play poll
tics, but that he is doing his very best
to relieve the dip treeing highway sit
uation in the most effective nn.l i-atis-faetory
way," declared President Carlos
T. Prall of the Oregon Association for
Highway Improvement today.
"Governor West is not afraid of what
tie has done." continued Mr. Prall. "If
a special session of the legislature will
secure the enactment of highway laws,
ha will call a special .session. If a
Special session will not have such a re
sult and the people make it evident
that they believe the. legislature is not
to be trusted, he will not mil it. That
la the situation. Me is not afraid, 1 am
ture, to have his veto messages or any
Other act of his called up: If he can
lead this state into the possession of a
highway system that will stop the mud
tit he will do it.
"I have never been sure that a spe
, dal session of the legislature was the
best way to solve our highway Emer
gency. But laws must be obtained
either through a special session or the
Initiative. The failure to provide Ore
gon with proper good roads laws Is coat
' Ing this state millions of dollars in
actual cash, .Is handicapping our devel
opment and dimming our future.
"Critic Sot Biooere."
"The governor sees these things. His
critics do not. He Is sincere. His crit
ics are not. He has continuously been
in favor of good roads legislation, but
here Is W. J. Clemens, a representative
from Multnomah county in the legisla

the highway commissioner a certain

Judge MeOInn and asked the Judge to
sign an order granting the administra
tor the right to accept the sum of
$250 from the company as damages.
"I don't care to sign such an order,"
said the Judge. "I can't value a man's
life so cheaply as that. Either the rail
road company Is guilty of negligence
and should pay a reasonable sum or It
should not pay anything. It ls rldftu
lous to offer to pay 1250."
"We threshed that matter over," said
the attorney. "We thought the sum
was ridiculously small, but that was
all the company would agree to pay
toward funeral expenses, and as the
man had no family we decided to accept
it."
The bill for funeral expenses amounts
to J617, which the firm of undertakers
say was authorized by the administra
