'THE ORfeGON DAILY i JOURNAL, : PoStLAND MONDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 18 1912, - I J V PROPOSED GOOD OF ROAL1S r.lEASI IRES UPLIFT OF. CHICAGO - PLANNED BY WOMAN METHOD EACH Two Bills Submitted by the Grange and Six by Har- mony Committee; , Journal ta Analyze Bills as Aid. What i tha difference between the grange and harmony highway bills? . Busy voters are asking this question ( In Increasiufr numwBef ore the eleo: tion In November The Journal propose to analyze the measures thoroughly, both as to their provisions and their a comparative values. Altogether, there are eltrht of the highway measures. Two are submitted by the grange, six by the liarmany com-, mittee and the state good roads asso ciation. ' .The harmony measures propose that the state shall be put definitely Into th improving of: Its highways, - the grange measure provldo a . method whereby the voters of a county: may un dertake" road Improvement If they de sire, and give state countenance to the proceeding by providing in the seee-nd measure for a state highway engineer. The chief difference, In construction, between the two sets of bills is In breadth. The chier difference in actual operation-, would be the onfuslon brought about by the conflicting road meetings "proposed 111 the grange meet ings. - County Bonds Issue Planned, One of the grange bills provides a way for' the Issuance of road bonds by the counties. The other proposes the appointing of a state highway engineer by the governor. The harmony measures are divided as follows: Four bills and two constitu tional amendments. The four bills are: 1. Creating a state road fund by selling not more than $1,000,000 In state bonds a year and adding two thirds of the tax on vehicles. Ctating a state road board composed of governor, sec retary of state and treasurer, and giv ing the governor authority to appoint a tat highway commissioner who shall be executive head of the state highway department. 2. Providing for the Issuance of road bonds by counties. I. Prohibiting the hiring of state con lct labor by private Interests and per mitting their use on roads. 4. Prohibiting the use of county and city labor by private interests and per mitting their use on the roads. ' The two constitutional amendments provide the changes necessary in the state constitution to give power for the Issuance of state and county road bonds. -These amendment, proposed, prohibit the pledging of either state or county credit for any purpose including road construction to a point beyond two per cent of the assessed valuation of either. The grange has taken a stand against tate bonds. Its provision for a state highway engineer is largely like that of the harmony committee's provision for a state highway commissioner. - Two- Plans-Compared. - In the matter of county bonds grange and harmony committee differ In meth od. The harmony plan is merely to in crease the road fund of a county by call ing upon the voters to approve bonds l!through an election authorized by peti tion 'of 10 per cent of the voters. The grange asks that before bonds are voted there be a road meeting. And this road meeting will be composed of delegates elected from each of the road districts, who together will determine what roads are to be Improved, what the termini of Improvements, what the material to be used, how much money to be expended. Then an election for the approving of bonds is to be called In about the same way as the harmony plan, But road authorities say the process would never get beyond the road meeting because delegates have never been known to agree upon the roads to be Improved, the amount to be paid, and the material to be used. The harmony plan provides "for paying the proceeds of bonds Into the county road fund to be expended un der direction of county authorities elected by the people for that purpose. The grange accepts the harmony com mittee's conviot labor bills. The con stitutional amendments while essential to the state and county bonding acts contain no contested provisions. When County Steps In. The state road fund created by bonds and two thirds of the vehicle tax is I where the state really gets Into the road business, although the fund Itself .is intended chiefly to swell the county road funds, and the aid contributed by !the state to the counties Is to be spent i by the county authorities without dicta tion from state authorities. The advantage of including a part of the vehicle tax in the road fund Is seen In the secretary of state's recent report on ithe vehicle tax receipts. This shows ithat about $40,000 is paid for the state, and of this amount $20,000 by Port land. The entire amount now goes Into the general fund. It is largely the tax on automobiles. Putting two thirds of the amount Into the road fund would di vert vehicle tax money into Its proper de partment, for the vehicles wear the roads and the tax pays maintenance. And Portland Is not at all unwilling that this city a half of the fund should be used In general road improvement. From the state fund $12,000 annually Is taken for the support of the highway J. 1 1 - .vl fry-'- ' V' - 11 I. . i n I . hi t , : inv 1 .J Ml Mrs. Potter Palmer. Paris, Sept. 16.

(Cnlted Prm Lraned Wire. I Peking, Sept. 16 Now that the Chi nese government Is making a systematic effort to pay off and disband its super fluous troops and to redeem the early Issues of republican money. It is begin ning to experience Infinite difficulty as a result of the wholly haphazard man ner In which the revolutionary loaders transacted all sorts of public business. How many troops there are under arms even now can only be vaguely guessed, bdt It is generally estimated that there are about a million. No mus ter rolls or other records have ever been kept. Huge numbers of men who consider themselves real soldiers and entitled to pay wre never formally en listed. Thousands of men have already been musterod out with the understand ing that they were to be paid later, but without anything to show for it. On the one side the government risks being bled for millions which It does not owe; on the other it Is In danger of precipitating a widespread uprising by rejecting legltimato claims. Republican money, too, was Issued without the slightest attempt to keep track of Its amount It Is estimated that $15,000,000 was put In circulation by the provisional authorities at Can ton and something like $100,000,000 at Peking and Nanking. But these are only rough estimates. There Is perhaps as much more counterfeit money In cir culation of a sort which cannot be told even by experts from tha very roughly executed genuine article. The government can afford neither to redeem the counterfeits nor to wreck its credit by repudiating tha genuine currency. How to solve either the military oi the currency problems everyone In the government service her seems com pletely at a loss. Union Carpenter Meet. Washington, Sept U.
