Portland, Ore., Feb. 28. A pro gram of compromise that ceded to the state grange everything but state aid was proposed by Governor West's harmony good roads committee. And, at that, C. E. Spenee, master of the state grange, will not know whother the compromise can be ac cepted until the grange has Its meet ing at Hoseburg, May 14. The cession to the grange Involves the approval by the committee of the grange bill creating a state highway department and engineer and its county bonding act. The majority of the committee could not approve the grange county bonding act, but agreed t accept It provided the state aid nmnsure is approved by the grange. The chairman. W. B. Ayer, W. K. Newell.

State aid as proposed was acknowl edged by C. E. Spence. master of the grange, and member of the harmony committee, as the best of Its kind he had ever seen. A'.l he did In meet ing arguments for the measure was to doggedly, repeat: "I do not believe in state aid at this time. The grange has not authorized me to endorse any state aid act." Bond Imkii Reduced. The measure reduces the proposed bond Issue by the Btate from $2,000, 000 to $1,000,000 annually, and fur ther provides that the bonded Indebt edness, either of state or'county, may not exceed 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of state or county. The amount forthcoming from bonding, it is proposed, shall be di vided. Two thirds of the fund Is to be divided Into three equal parts. One of these parts will be'dfvided equally among the 34 counties In proportion to assessed valuation. The third part will be divided among the counties in proportion . to 'their area. The remaining one-third of the en tire fund is to be )eft in the hands of the state board, composed of the gov ernor, treasurer, secretary of state and highway commissioner. It would be divided into two equal parts to be thus used in the two congressional districts. The third congressional dis trict, Multnomah county. Is not in cluded, as it is not thought It needs such help and can well afford to on trlbute to the other districts. It is also proposed that if the as sessed valuation of any county is less than $10,000,000 it shall be compelled to raise but one-half of Its apportion ment from state aid in order to avail Itself of state aid. When assessed valuation of any county Is In excess of $10,000,000 it will be required to raise as much by county bonding or other method as It will derive from the state aid fund. . Colonel C. E. S. Wood will draft into bills the provisions outlined. The convict labor bills will remain un changed. Chuirman W. B. Ayer dic tated a letter to Governor West out lining the results of the deliberations of the committee. In order to reach the meeting Judge Bernard Daly of Lakeview traveled 1400 miles from his home, meptinc the expense personally. He said this morning that ho would glad ly contribute much more if a state wide system of roadbulldlng could but be obtained.

' Judee Chapman held that an of fice separate from the place In which manufacturing or other mechanical operations are carried on Is not It self a manufacturing establishment. hence Louis H. Bean, the aerenaant, did, not violate the law by working a stenographer more than eight hours a day. The court ruled that the test of the law was not so much the na ture of the service, as the question whether or not it was rendered in a mechanical establishment. Managers of the larger offices In Spokane declare there Is no plan on foot to Increase the working hours of office help, saying also that stenog raphers employed In local manufac turing, mercantile and office build ings have never worked more than eight hours a day, even before the state law was enacted a year ago.
