1 ft THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, " FRIDAY . : EVENING,' '. MARCH 6, 1914. : 5 STATE LAW IS SAID TO VORK IN FAVOR OF PAM 'COMBINE' 'a tB"wwi""ssss Correspondent Asserts Act v Should. Be Amended So as 1, to, Permit of Competition,1 Portland, dr., March 5. To th Edl- tor of The Journal I notice In th dally ft&pera that the county commlu- sloners are Inviting tentative proposals and specification from the paving companies or the hard surfacing of part of the Bane Line road. I presume, due to the fact that the law relating to the improvement of roads In Multnomah county confines the n lection to one kind of pavement only, that la. It Is unlawful to lrwlte proposals on different kinds of pave ment .that will answer'Jhe same gen eral PuTDose. 'This law. was enacted by'our last legislature and Is plainly In th Interest of the paving combine. The county commissioners, there fore, hare no legal authority to invite tentative proposals; that is, thy would riot be In a position under such proceaure to awara a iegai couiracu I apprehend that this is a bluff originating from thft patent paving ! combine, as no contractor would sub mit a bid under such conditions, unless k hln ravpment was patented ' or con- ' twill. itf phM Wnnl h a n a rK-f0ot tnT f . " contractor to submit proposals and 'itWAKlf1raitnnli Trt- ' MVumATlt An wM(h thyre Could hn honest j competition, ,as irf -county commissioners could .not JlruaUy accept or award such a bid" iinder these conditions., Therefore the contractor would only be exposing liis bid to the public, as he. has no assur ance of letting the contract even though his specifications be "adopted. The patentees' or owners of the pat ent pavements are good forecasters they can see far into; the future; they know pretty welk before bid are re ceived who is going to get .me con trart.' For an example let me state, the county commissioners have adopted patented pavement for the Improve inent -of Riverside drive, and the pat en tees have filed a license mixture agreement statin? that they would ' furnish any contractor the patent mix ture material dumped Into Che wagon 'at the plant for the sum. of 44 cents per. inch, which Js equal to $15.S"4 per 1 cubic yard. A cubic y&rd of rock de r llvered is worth about $1. 35, a cubic . yard of sand delivered is worth abou . $1.00, California asftbalt is worth aboo f 10.50 per ton.v Cshed rock is est! . mated at abogt pounds per subic yard and It is generally estimated tha 10 per cent of the mixture is asphalt i and In this mixture about two-fifth of a cubic yard of sandv is "usea ,. Therefore in a recapitulated 'state - ment the cost of a cubic yard of the , aspftaltlc wearing surface - is rock $1.36, sand 40c,. asphalt 1.57r mixing i u and incidentals : 90c, which makes total cost ot. "the material mixed -V' dumped Into the wagojis of $4.22 per Nt'.iy4 Cubic jrard.

' "The' -two things that every col legian, speaking of his alma mater, i apt to boast about are the superlative beauty of Its campus and Its unique democratic spirit."-- ald Mr. s Slosson. By democracy, however, is 1 sometime? meant merely the comparative of the distinctions upon which aristocracy is Daseo; m the outside world, such as wealth and family. The substitution of -a collegiate aristocracy where .the line is drawn between sophomores And freshmen, Greeks and barbarians . or classical and sclentiflo students , is commonly overlooked. .' ' ,,.

On- the "other hand; complaint . Is . made that the age of graduation la too. high., This mnch lauded:,; 'college life' is thus the cause flof a'jdauble loss of time." It acts both as a deterrent and a retarder. It pre-. vents the." student rrom entering as young as he might and It absorbs a large. . proportion of . his time in col- lcge,. 4 . - , : ..!

No con t' v tractor would construct a pavement ' ". under these condition for experimen tal purposes, without the pavement ; was controlled by him. '(, ', v I conclude, therefore, that this would be a move In favor of the patent ' ' ,. lavement, and exclusive to all others. There is absolutely no use of such ' an experiment, for the reason that k" ; .there are only three sheet or centlnu I , , . ous pavements that can be used on this . . , coast, which are California asphaltlc ' , ; concrete pavements, Portland hydraulic concrete pavements;and Oallfornla as phaltio mortar pavements. Asphaltlc pavement has been In use in this city for 20 years or more, and afiphaltlo concrete pavements have been in use at leant 10 years, and concrete pave ment' for at least six years. It' is immaterial as, to the name given, any of the, pavements, aai the facts re main that the builder used either Cali fornia asphaltlc cement or Portland hydraulic cement. Therefore, let us eliminate all pat ented, copyrighted aftd fictitious names and draw definite specifications that will permit of honest competition, and have our paving law amended so thai we can invite proposals on the differ ent kinds of pavements.

HAVLEY HAS TAKEN UP- OLD SETTLER'S BATTLE John . LoughTin's Homestead Claim Held Up by.Fdrest Service, - ' ' ( Wathlufctoa JJiyean of The Journal.) Washington, March 6. Represent ative W. C. Hawley has interceded with the secretary of the Interior in behalf of an' old. newspaper man, John Loughlln, who is In difficulties with the forest service. Mr. Loughlln, ' after his health gave way. took Un n hompntesLrt 1n th Tj1i- view district. His entry bears date. of 1 June 7, 1901, and the final certificate was Issued to him on., November 14,1 1907. -The land embraced in this entry! was not ' included in the Crater Na-1 tlonal forest until January 24. 1907. more than five years after the entry man made his entry. , The forest serv ice never submitted an adverse report in his case until almost a year after the final certificate had been issued to the claimant. Mr. Loughlln's fr!nds assert that has been harassed' 'beyond ,the point of endurance by the forest service and this evidently is the view of Mr. Hawley, who has appealed over the forest service' to the secretary of the interior. In .his letter to the secre tary Mr. Hawley says that Mr. Lough, lin has had six years of lawsuits and sb many things to discourage him that many other homesteaders similarly sit uated would have relinquished their rights. i ,-. "It seems to me unjust," the con gressman writes, "that he should be compelled to pit his meager financial resources against the inexhaustible financial resources of the' United States forest service in fighting this case for a longer period than he has already fought it." The secretary is asked to grant hlml a patent to his land. Condon, Or., March .
