THE OREGON; SUNDAY JOURNAL;; PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING,- MARCH 21, 1820. t on BUSINESS HEN URGE ROAD BE HARD SURFACED Two Miles of Highway From the - County Line to Concrete Bridge ' Reported to Be in Bad Shape. 1 . Effort to. indue the state highway commission to expedite hardsurfac- .' Inf of. the section of road between the Multnomah county line and the concrete bridge just iiouth of Oswego probably will be made by a commlt- tee of Oswego business men and I property owners at the meeting Tuesday. This section is about two miles in ' 'length and Includes the dangerous de ' scent of Klk rock. Two bad curves are in this descent, curves that are bad be- etuM of the neglected condition of the macadam and which would lose their danger if the highway were hard sur faced. The entire two miles hns fallen Into ' an almost disreputable state of decay In the last two or three yearn because of the heavy travel with practically no repairs. This lack of repair, It Is ad mitted on all sides, in because the sec tlon la a part of the Pacific highway and Clackamas county has been and continues to be loath to spend any money on It in temporary makenhlfl because it has expected that at nlmost any time the highway commission would take over the road and hard ur face It, especially after Multnomah county and the city of Portland hard , surfaced the section between Fulton and the county line. BO AD IS DANGEROUS At present It is risky to take a lipht ear over the road, there being constant menace of broken springs and stripped ireara at every turn of the wheels. Driving- a heavy car is seriously dangerous. Even with these facts well knowji. daily traffic of passenger vehicles will, in winter, run at least 200 either way on week days and 300 on Sundays, with nearly twice these figures In summer. In addition about SO trucks pass each way daily. This route is the natural outlet for the Wllsonvllle district, and as Clackamas cOunty has done considerable improv ing for the Wilsonvtlle-Oswego section and as this road district under the pro . visions of the bond issue passed at a recent election purposes further and im mediate improvement. If' the highway commission can see in way clear, a first , dais thoroughfare for a large farming and garden truck area will be supplied - "with, economical means of communica tion with Portland. As it is, this, farm- Ing section Is literally barred out of ' Portland markets.- GBADIHG STARTED. 1,AST FALL Last fall the highway, commission ' , You Have Wanted Harry Lauder Records 60002 75c Stop Your Tickling, Jock 70006 $1.25 She Is My Daisy 70108 -1.25 Ta Ta.

S.) Secretary of the Treasujy Houston is today considering proposals prepared by tax experts of the government calling for a general readjustment of the scale of cotiKumptlve taxes, as a means of simplifying- the tax problem and affect ing reductions in 'excess profit taxes. The . proposals for consumptive taxes likely will form the basis for definite recommendations to congress. Mr. Houston is emphatic in the statement that a lower level of excess profit taxes must be established. A new scale of consumptive taxes, he has been told by tax experts, will aid in solving the pres ent tax difficulties. A feature of the plan would require retailers to show plainly on every ar ticle sold the amount the consumer Is paying on a particular commodity.

HIGHER RA ROAD RATES APPROVED Freight and Passenger Tariffs Increased on Sumpter Valley Line in Two Counties Salem, March 20. New tariffs in volving increases in both freight and passenger rates on the Sumpter Valley railroad in Baker and Grant counties aggregating approximately 154,000 annually, are approved by the public service commission in an order Issued today. The rates be come effective one day after the publication and filing of the tariffs by the railroad. The increase, it Is explained, was made necessary because of cessation of gov ernment aid for the railroad March 1, when the road was returned to private control, the new tariffs providing for increases substantially equal to those requested by the company in tariffs filed with the commission by the com pany heretofore. Under the new tariffs passenger fares will be increased from 4 to 5 cents' per mile with increases in freight rates being confined to lumber and hay. In justification of the increase the order declares that "the commission must bear in mind that an interest much broader than the interest of this rail road company is to be considered, and base its conclusion upon the facts dis closed by the evidence, among which is that the Sumpter Valley railway is the only line serving Baker and Grant counties south and west of the Oregon Washington railroad and Navigation company's line, and is the only line of railroad in Grant county furnishing an outlet by rail for shippers in that sec tion. The commission should also en courage, if possible, the extension of the line and the building of branches which would induce the opening of new terri tory, thus making it possible to market an approximate of 4.500.000,000 feet of merchantable timber adjacent to the line of the Sumpter Valley railway and afford a continuity of service to the greatest portion of Grant county and a portion of Harney county. It must also be remembered that the principal pay rolls of Baker, a city of approximately 9000, depend upon the successful opera tion of this road."

Clackamas county's first block of $2(0,000 of bridge and road bonds of the 81.700,000 issue voted by the people last November, has been practically provided for in the sale to the residents of the county who were given the preference and who have come to the front after the bond buyers failed to get the bonds at their bids of consid erably less than par. During the present week the bankers of the county held a conference with the county court for the purpose of fin ancing the sale of the bonds, but no def inite action was taken, as several of the outside banks did not feel disposed' to take the amount of bonds that it was. proposed apportioning to them.

In which it offered to finance the county's part of the cost of the new sus pension bridge by taking the block of bonds amounting at par to $105,000, and County Judge H. S. Anderson announced that the bank's offer would doubtless be accepted whenthe court meets early next week.
