An Independent etate highway com
t mission and an Increase In atate auto
.'tax will probably be the feature of the
-recommendations to be made to the
coming legislature by the Oregon
" good roads committee, a state wide
' Organization which has under consld-
eratlon the formulation of a state
. highway program which will be accept
able to all Interests.
, A . meetlnar of the executive commit
tee consisting of J. C. Alnsworth, B.
" : O. I-eedy, J. F. Daly, E. K- Brodle, , J.
f IV Brown, R. E. Smith. C. E. Spence
and O. W. Taylor will be held (n Port
land nxt Saturday to receive and con
sider the reports of the seven sub
committees. Out of these reports the executive
committee will draw up Us recom
- mendatlons to the committee at large
which is to meet in this city next Mon
day. December 11, to outline and adopt
a complete highway program for the
v ' atate which the committee hopes will
receive general- support.
Two Complete Work.
"The Oregon good roads committee
la actually at work and ahowlng pro
' tress," said O. W. Taylor, chairman of
the general committee and a member
of the executive committee today.
; : "Two of the sub committees, one on
highway tax and one on highway com
mission and engineer, havs completed
their work and filed their reports with
the general committee. While their
' findings can not be made public until
passed upon by the e"secutlve commtt
i tee. It Is known that the committee
has been much Impressed with atate
y raents made by members of the hlgh-
" way commission aa at present organ
" lied. At a meeting held with the board
by the committee a week ago every
member of the board stated emphat
. Ically there should be an Independent
- - highway commission as the state of
ficials were overburdened without as
suming the details of highway work.
Will Aid legislature.
"As aoon as the general committee
has formulated a program it will be
taken up with the state highway of
ficials and members of the coming
legislature through the state-wide
' v membership of the committee for con-
aultatlon and advice.
By this means It Is hoped to re
Have the legislature of much of the
difficulties the last session encount-
ered over highway legislation.
"This will leave , more time for the
careful consideration of other legisla
tive matters, something that will no
. ' doubt be most welcome to all legisla-
tors.
"The present high cost of living in
the cities, only a part of which in
creased prices fall to the farmers, has
emphasised the great need of rural
- roads leading Into the cities, over
which auto trucks can bring produce
direct from the farm to the doors of
- the city consumer. This greatly
strengthens the position of the Ore
gon good roads committee which Is In
sympathy with the farming and labor
. , Interests."
