" tuV en Jtwoommsndations.
In It report to the board of county
.rommlnHloncrn, the advisory budget
committee recommended that Road
.mastflr John B. Yeon be retained in of
fice, and that a bond issue be made fqr
the purpose of hard surfacing the Co
lumbia highway and other main trunk
'roads in the county.
When asked today if he would adopt
the recommendation of the budget com
mittee as to Mr. Yeon, Commissioner
Tlhtner said:-
"That is a matter that will be deter
mined when it comes before the board
In its regular course. I can .not say
what action the board will take, as I
am only one member. I do not under
stand that Mr. Yeon wants to retain
charge of the entire road system. ' I
have been told that he is only anxious
to .superintend the completion of the
' Columbia highway."
Hardly r air Question.
.' Mr. Ltghtncr was further asked if fti
'the event it was decided not to con
..'.tlnue Mr. Yeon he had any other per
son. In view for thj place. He replied:
"No one," and added, "that Is hardly a
fair question."
Commissioner-elect Holbrook, who
will be a member of the board when
the matter of electing a roadmaster
comes up, was non-committal. He said:
."I am not yet a member of the board,
and it dos not seem proper for me to
express any opinion yet. When I am
..Installed and the matter comes up in
- the regular order of business, I shall
; vote for what I consider ths best In
i terests of the county. I do not now
: know what thj policy of the board will
. be. I do not know whether Mr. Yeon
wanta the position or not."
Commissioner Hoi man said:
j "I am strongly in favor of the bud
get committee's recommendation, 'and
,; I. shall vote, to adopt it. Public, serv
ice by our wealthy taxpayers is a rare
,thinir. and we should encourage It. By
: keeping Mr, Yeon on the job, the coun
ty wlU receive full value for its ex
, penditures on the roads."
' -i Teon Qives Position.
' Mr. Yeon,;when asked if he was will
. 'trig; to take over the work on the Co
lumbia highway only, sea suggested by
.Commissioner Llghtner, said: "I do
not bo understand it and I have rea
, son to think that Mr. Ughtner does
not wo understand it. I had a talk
v with him yesterday and if he has that
understanding why did he not tell me
soT The proposition' is simply this: I
will take over all the county roads or
none at all. I will not be placed in a

If! win bsftnsd by say
my time free of cost to the county I
am in a measure sacrificing "attention
to my private affairs but I am willing ,
to do this because as a large taxpayer
I realize the necessity of Improving
our xoads and-doing so in a manner
that will give full value for the money
spent My experience this.; year has
brought a realization of the wasteful
methods of the past. In short I want
to keep; the roads out of politics. It
is the only way In which we can get u
dollar's worth of road for our money.
There Is a movement on to issue bonds
for road improvement and it is very
vital that the money raised in this
manner should be spent wisely and not
frittered away."? i... V AA -
Xoad Policy Announced.
As to the future road policy of the
county. Commissioners Llghtner and
Holbrook asserted that they were In
favor of hard surfacing the main trunk
lines. -.: j.
Am to the kind of hard surfacing to
be adopted Mr. Llghtner said:!,
"I would like to cut out the over
head or royalty charges on patented
pavements if there. Is a way to do so.
It is difficult, though, because In mak
ing .up specifications It Is hard to ar
range them so that theCo .will, be:, an
opportunity for 'everyone o bid - on
them." .
Mr. Llghtner also suggested that 'the
assessment district law should be
modified so that Instead of the county
and the adjacent property owner each
paying half, the heaviest percentage
should be thrown upon the county.
A fair proportion . he thought would
be for the county to pay, SO per cent or
even more. ' - . '- ' -' ' '
General X.evy Tsvorsd.' '
Commissioner Holbrook' suggested
that it would be a good policy to raise
money for hard surfacing through the
general levy. 'He said: "With a levy
that will produce $450,000 annually we
could set aside $200,000--every year for
hard surface. This would pave about
15 miles per year. I would not pave
a certain road to its end at first, but
take tlietn In order and pave them from
the city limits to a radius of say ten
mites as the traffic demanded. Each
yenr we could add a -little and at the
end of four years we would have some
60 miles of paved highway. In
the
meantime the money saved in the
maintenance of these paved , roads !
could be applied on our lesser- roads j
and th tax levy proportionally de-
creased.'
In the event Commissioners Llght
ner and Holbrook deefde not to accept
the services of Mr. Yeon It is the gen
eral Impression that they will appoint
as roadmaster H. B. Chapman, who
was formerly employed in that ca
pacity . ... , '

Regulation by . Experts Proper

Today, Says C, E. Warner
ADDRESSES CIVIC LEAGUE
Speaker said Public Utility Law Would
Xaaob a Pairly Beflnlte Standard
Within Pew Tears, ;
' "At a race we are largely-spoiled
by our surroundings and are more
concerned about telephones and auto
mobiles and fine clothes thaa wit!

decalred Charles E. Warner, ; consult
ing englfleer, In an - address before
the taxation and revenue department
of the Oregon. Civic league at noon
today in the Hazelwood. '
The same Idea extends to municipal
administration, hepointed out. The
municipal administration furnishes a
wide range and variety of service; all
that is appropriated from year . to
year is spent and officials are con
fident that they can always come
back to the public for more.
Believes In Regulation.
"All men who. manage a business
know tha't . their permanent success
depends on net results," said the en
gineer, whose general subject was
"Regulation." "It seems to me that
public regulation aa well as all. other
governmental functions, is .valuable to
the public, only as it shows a net ad-
Vantage to the average cltl2en
", ought to get from our
governments, city, state and national,
is net efficiency a maximum of
servtce for a minimum of taxes. We
ought to get the same efficiency in
regard to public utilities as In other
governmental or public service; we
ought to get it whether they are op
erated by the city, or by the com
pany. "I believe regulation by experts is
a proper function of government to
day. All those business activities
which relate to the public welfare
must be and many of them are, reg
ulated, not witlt a view to getting
all we can force from them, but rath- j
er Insuring aj; service commensurate
with what weTare taxed in one form
or another to provide the service,
whether the service be publicly or pri
vately operated. '
Stat Ltwi Vary.
"Public utility law will, I believe,
reach a fairly definite standard within"
a few years a standard consistent
with fairness to taxpayers, the public,
private enterprise and city officials.
At present, state laws vary. In Wash
ington and Oregon, privately operated
public utilities are regulated but muni
cipally operated utilities are unreg
ulated. In Wisconsin and California
the two states which lead in public
utility regulation all public utilities
are compelled to obey the same law,
except that In California some cities
are allowed to and do regulate the
utilities- operating within their own
boundaries. This, however, is a mat
ter of. politics. .
"It is Impossible to be sure of ac
curate Information or fair regulation
unless an Impartial person or body of
people be empowered to Investigate
and regulate. This principle is rec
ognized In large corporations by em
ploying firms of certified accountants
i periodically to audit the accounts,"

: The trial of Fred Tronson; charged

Jury Is In progress and will; probably
be ton eluded this afternoon.!
I 'The -trial was net .scheduled, to com

Judge McGinn finished a minor case
which was on trial and ordered the
Tronson case taken up at once. At
torney Dan Powers, who represents
Tronson, was not present When the
case was called and Judge! McGiinn
was about to call another attorney to
handle the case when Powers appeared.
. In his opening statement Powers ad
mitted that Tronson killed Miss Ul
rlch and his defense will probably be
that he was temporarily insane at the
time. Powers contends that Tronson's
mentality . Is far below normal, and
that he is; more like a child than, a

VALUE OF SUPPORTING
OREGON'S INDUSTRIES
WILL BE EMPHASIZED
i .. . - . . i
Monday Has Been Designated
as Industry Day Through
out the State.
If you are a citizen of Oregon and
believe in her and her industries and
her future, a little pledge has been
written which all good Oregonlans are
called upon to make.
Here it is: "I will give preference to
goods made at home where price and
quality are equal.
You are asked to make the pledge In
the name of the" Industries of Oregon,
and In order to. Impress -upon you how
much good will be done by the united
purchase of Oregon made products.
next Monday has been designated as
Oregon Industry day,iwhn every city
in the state will jojn bands in creating
a "Made-in-Oregon" sentiment.
The day has been proposed by the
Oregon Industry league, which, through
Its secretary, F. T, Hyskell. Is doing
everything In its power to induce Ore-
gonians to buy commodities made in
their own state.
jexi Monaay at 10 o clock . every
person in the state is asked to stop
his work for a minute or two, think
what patronizing Oregon industries
means, and then pledge himself to buy
Oregon-made goods for his Christmas
presents and other purposes.
, Whistles will blow and bells will
ring In every town and city to remind
people of the pledge, and there will
be public demonstrations In; honor of
the day.
Mr, Hyskell has requested the gov
ernor and the mayors of every Oregon
city to Issue proclamations deslgnat
ing Monday as Industry day, and mer
fchants will be asked to display only
Oregon-made goods in their show win
dows. j
. Streamers, placards, signs; on street
cars and every other conceivable pub
licity device will be used to Impress
upon the people the need of patron
izlng Oregon industry.
The Oregon Industry league est!
mates that the purchase of Oregon
made goods by Oregon people in their
Christmas shopping will mean a sav
ing of $1,000,000 to Oregon that would
otherwise go elsewhere.
If the . "Patronize-home-lndustry-
movement gains sufficient headway It
will mean that 25.000 men and women
now idle, will be back at work in
few weeks, says Mr. Hyskell.
The Oregon Industry league has
membership or some 25,000 persons
throughout the state, and some 21 af
filiated clubs are back of the move
ment.

i The city: council this morning

taken in compliance with a request
of the county . commissioners in order
that they might be given time to con

A statement, considering the clty'a
attitude Is to be prepared by Commis
sioner Daly and wlU bo presented to
the-county, commissioners at a meet
ing this afternoon. Commissioner
Dieck is to be present at the meeting
to present information he has con
cerning the use of the bridge.
Both Commissioners Daly and Blge-
low resent the inference of the county
commissioners that the city is trying
10 pass tne duck.
I would like! to have - it under
stood," said Commissioner Bigelow,
that it is not a question of passing
the buck but whether the city is to
be neia up by the railroad company
for the use of the bridge. The com
pany'refused to lower its price and
we refused to pay It. That's all
there Is to it."
"As a matter of fact," said Com
missioner Daly, "the city's offer of
JloOO e month is $150 a month more
than it paid on the old Steel bridge.
Then we had to use the structure be
cause we had no others to cover the
same district. Now we have other
bridges, '-yet the i company wants us
to pay a great deal. more."
