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. Thi leaves the handsome
v pntenttes or cwnerfc of th pavement.

mocracy lh American universities Is a
delusion, . Edwin E. Siosson. literary
editor of the Independent and, author
of "Great American Universities," told
an audience of prominent educators
from all parts of the country. The oc
casion was the eleventh .annual con

' "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. .' ' ,,.
"If the college did . prepare the-
student for life in: a democratic sod-
ty.'wnere on earth would he' find theJ
society for which e had prepared
"Who indeed would suspect that tfie
universities, had any intention to in
culcate a spirit of democracy when he
sees v the academic procession - f Ue
through the Gothlo hall robed in the
costume 01 the mediaeval student
guild and arranged In hlerachlcal
order In strict accordance with a tra
ditional system.. . ,
'"It is common for boys who are
fully prepared for college at any early
age to be held Back-by their parents
for a. year or two for fear of subject
ing1 them too young to the influence
of 'college ' life.' 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 . - , : ..!
" "The "student's"-conduct is governed
more ; by the standards of his .class
mates than bjr the rule of the facnlty.

y and constructing thereon ,4 hydraulic

''''." ,i paving companies will be ipvited to lay

Theonly sensible thing in this state-

; 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

HAVLEY HAS TAKEN UP-

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.
