PARIS, Jan. IT. Thai qunstlon of
representation for the peoulev them
selves, throuKh newspaper' correspon
dents, took precedence over every
other problem before the peace con
ference today. The Importance of this
matter was evidenced by the fact j
that the Ieafftie of Nations, the Hussl-
an situation, and other vital subjects !
had been subordinated to reaching an I
amicable solution of the manner in
which proceedings at the peaco table t
are to be made public. President Wil-
son is understood to be leading the
fight for one of his principal points
"open covenants of peace, openly ar
rived at." There is every indication
that a satisfactory aKreeuisnt wltl noon
be reached between correspondents
and the peace delegates.

WAHHr.VOTON", Jan. 17- A confer
ence of governors here to plan with
'.he department of labor for putting
the growing army of unemployed to
work Immediately was proposed todav
by Senator Kenyon. Kenyon and
other members of congress are alarm
ed at tho rapid increase of unem
ployment and lack of any government
plan for providing work. There la
no lack of ideas in congress for cre
Ulngr Job in the future, but how to
supply w.irk now Is the problem
worrying the legislators. Congress is
being urged on 'every ' hand to solve
the problem, which it is agreed. Is
rapidly v.nin acute.
300.000 Jobless.'
Kenyon said: "I am going to sugi
gest to the department of labor that
the governors of the states be urged
to attend, either In person or through
a representative, a conference with
the department officials to work out
some means of putting to work Im
mediately more than 200,000 men.
who, according to my Information, are
jobless In tho United States. If the
states will begin an emergency pro
gram of work at once or as soon as
weather conditions' permit, it may be
possible to prevent untold suffering.
Most of the state legislatures are now
in session and could provide the ne
cessary authority for, the emergency
work."
In addition Kenyon's suggestions
two other ideas were advanced. Sen
ator France of Marylu-nd, would move
workers from Industrial centers where
there is an oversupply of labor to
places v here workers are needed-

This action as taken by the county!

has been complaint that Pendleton
people attending these country par

here.
Influensa conditions In Pendleton
are probably better today than any
other town In the state. Conditions
are not so good, however, In other
parts of the county, but with the ban

The road meeting yesterday was the
most remarkable gathering of the sort
held since tlie time when Moses led
tlie children of Israel across the Ken
sea by tactics that have never been
repeated. Tho Lord was given credit
for helping Moses. S Benson bad a
lot to do with bringing county people
together yesterday for his refusal to
give state aid on the Echo road unless
it followed tho river caused sentiment
to crystalize for a bonding plan as the
only course open If the county Is to
share In reconstruction road work. . .
After the subject had been fully dis
cussed for three and a half hours yes
terday a resolution was unanimously
passed asking the county court to pro
ceed at once to have petitions circu
lated calling for a special bonding
election. These petitions will soon be
In circulation and they will be return
ed In time for the February meeting
of the court. The court must then
call an election to be held not sooner
than 20 days nor longer off than 40
days.
Objectors In 1lne.
A feature of the meeting yesterday
was that men who had previously op
posed bonding for roads were active
in the discuse'on for bonds and in
framing lip' the proposition' to 'submit
to Uie people. Among these were' W.
W. Harrah and other prominent mem
bers of the Farmers' Union. Assessor
C. P. Strain, and others. With them
there were all the good roads war
horses, old and young, from every part
of the county. - The only discussion of
a controversial nature was mild in
character and related to the amounts
to be specified for the Cold Springs
road and for the road from Nye to the
Grant county line- Changes were
made In each Instance es requested j
and thus harmony and good spirit
preserved.
One of the satisfactory features of
the bond schedule, as explained by Mr.
Strain. Is that the amount pro rated
for each section is almost absolutely in
line with the percentage of assessment
in each section. Hence the plan is
not only workable from a construction
standpoint but is ethical from the
standpoint of assessment. I
Committee Will Handle.
. The task of helping the court put
over the bond plan will be In tha
hands of a mamoth advisory commit-,
tee composed of all who were present '
yesterday with additional men from
each road district or community not
represented at the meeting. An ex
ecutive committee of 10 will have di
rect charge of the campaign.
Thompson Is Endorsed.
On motion the meeting voted unan
imously recommending that the gov
ernor reappoint W. I Thompson aa a
member of the state highway com
mission when his terra expires (0 days
hence.' Mr. Thompson was a speaker
at various times during the meeting
and explained much as to the work
ings of the commission and the pro
cedure for securing state aid for the
county.
After the tentative plans had been
outlined by Judge Marsh and W. I
Thompson, a general discussion en
sued and all delegates present were
called upon to make suggestions. The
