LACHMUND BILL
MEETS DEFEAT
IN THE SENATE
Reliability of Figures of Com
missioner Booth Questioned
by Thomas
COMBINE IS SUSPECTED
Hot Fight Is Staged Over Auto-Royalty
Measure of Sa-
; lem Lawmaker
,. j '
Figures furnished by R. A. Booth,
state highway commissioner, purport
ing to show that patented pavenienf,
rail he laid in Oregon, even should a
royalty be paid, cheaper than can
unpatented pavements, made the
main basis on which opponents of
thi Lachmund antl-rpyalty bill suc
ceeded in having the bill indeflnite
ly postponed in the senate yester
day by vote of 20 to 9.
' This iii face of an attack by Sen
ator Thomas who charged that a
combine exists between the Warren
Construction company and other con
tractors ! whereby secret manipula
tions in bidding are made and which
Senator Thomas asserted make Mr.
Booth's figures inaccurate and with
out weight. . .
OmuniM&ton Excoriated
The state highway commission was
excoriated for refusing to take the
advice of Attorney . General lirown
by laying a pavement of the same
general characteristics as the War
ren pavement, yet not infringing on
its alleged patent, so that this as
well as the questionable validity of
the patent might be a ground for
defense if the highway commission is
sued bv the Warren romoanv to .. 1-
lect royalties which have not been!
paid since early last year.
Iirliniuinl Staru Fight
Declaring- that there are many
liebple in Oregon who do not .believ
they have received from the Oregon
legislature laws that afford protect
ion against the paving trust. Sena
tor Lachmund initiated a f i i - in the
senate.
The fight was over the majority
and minority reports on Senator
Iachnvund's bill to submit t) the
people the question of prohibiting the
payment of royalties on pavement inj

Orton signed the majority report

signed the minority report. Lach-

Senator Iachmund declared iha:

be procured without the necessity of
paying royalty.

Booth had caused him to change his
mind.
Senator Pierce, who stood with

highway commission for not heeding
the opinion of Attorney General
Brown in which he advised that a
pavement of the same general char
acter of bitulithic be used instead of
the patented article and which woaid

Hurley Defend Tru.it
Senator Hurley, who has stood and
voted consistently with the paving
trust at this and other sessions.
seemed to state the Warren Con
struction company's case exactly
when he said it makes no difference
to the people 6t Oreicon whether the
Warren patent Is valid or invalid.
It is a question on which the
people have no rigiit to vote." said
Hurley. "It is a question for the
courts."
Senator La Follet declared he had
no confidence in the highway coi.i-
mlssion and offered to pay the cost
of a special train if the senate would
adjourn and go with him to Wash
ington county to see road , work be
tween Forest drove and Tlillsboro
The argument that paving can be
procured cheaper with paying royal
ties than without Senator Strayer
termed amusing and ridiculous.
For the closing speech in support
of the minority report. Senator
Lachmund yielded the floor to Thomas.
"It occurs to me that if the high
way commission bad desired to lay
a pavement Just a- little difieient
from the Warren pavement but just
as good, as it was advised to do by
Attorney General Hrown. this law
suit for $300,000 in royalty that is
coming would be avoided." snid
Thomas.
There if a common belief about
the state that a combination of events
between the Warren Construction
company and other contractors
whereby some remain out of tn?
bids through secret manipulations.
That is why the figures that have
been submitted by Commissioner
booth are faulty when be says that
even with royalty payments bitulithic
that has been laid would be cheap
er than other pavements.
Slam Taken at Hurley
"Hurley says that the Lachmund
bill would drive the Warren Con
struction company out of the state
with its big payroll and I can't help
but think that the thin he is in
terested in is not the Warren Con
struction company but its payro'l."
Senator Moaer did not participate
in the debate' but In explaining his
vote said he could not support the
bill but would support the Hare bill
prohibiting the highway commission
from paying royalty to anyone ur.'il
the status of the Warren patent has
been determined.

by a vote of 20 to 9. The vote:
