ure Is harmless If It Is not unconsti

WILD ACCEPT WHAT IS
LEFT OF ROADS BILLS
Salem, Ore., Feb. 16. What Is left
left of the goods rGads bills after ac
tion In the house will be taken up by
the penate committee on roads and
highways as soon as the bills come
over from the house. Indications are
that the senate will accept the two
house bills for the highway commis
sion and the bonding of counties and
make the best of them.
"I have not closely Inspected the
bills passed by the house," says
Chairman Von der Hellen of the sen
ate committee, but my impression Is
that a strat should be made on good
roads legislation. Two bills are bet
ter than none, and these will enable
us to make a start. Once started, we
may be able to make progress and
develop a valuable system."

NO ONION THOUGHT
OF, SAYS KNOX
(By Associated Press.
Chicago, Feb. 16. Though the
people of the United States and Can
ada are "a substantially homogeneous
people," with "deep moral and racial
reciprocities," the benefits of the pro
poser commercial reciprocity with
Canada "ought not to be censured by
the fear of relations too cordial and
conceivably dangerous to the great
Canadian loyalty to England," in the
opinion of the Secretary of State Phi
lander G. Knox who addressed the
Chicago Association of Commerce
here last night.
Mr. Knox declared that while emi
grations proceeded as constantly and
as freely between Canada and the
United States as bctwecy two states
of this country and while the two peo
ples have been welding together for
two centuries, "there is not the slight
est probability that this racial and
moral union will Involve any political
change or annexation or absorption."
"It Is an ethnological fact that peo.
lltlcal units of the English-speaking
people never lost their autonomy,"
Bald Secretary Knox. 'Like bees, they
give off their swarms, who set up for
themselves Independently, but they do
not make political combinations am
ong themselves.
