WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27. 1919. THE MONDELL BILL. Opposition to the Mondell bill pro Tiding (or farm homes for returned soldiers, recently reported favorably from "Nick" Sinnott's committee In the House, is said to be weakening. During the committee hearing objec tions to the measure were voiced by eastern interests unacquainted with the great reclamation possibilities of the vest and south but now that the bill is in the House the fight against it is weakening. Only recently the New York Times, one of the leading newspapers of the country, indorsed the bill, thereby showing that it would be impossible to perfect any line-up of the city against the country on the measure and adding greatly to the possibilities of its passage. , We have urged that the people of this section who have its interests at heart do what they can with mem bers of congress to obtain votes for the Mondell bill and we are happy to say that we have had expressions of willingness to aid from widely separated sections of the country, the last coming from Ohio. Our hopes for financial aid for the Ben ham falls project lie In this bill. It seems apparent that we are to have e favorable report on the geological features of the project. We should leave .no stone unturned .to insure funds for its completion. COMMUNICATION. HIGHWAY ' POLICY SCORED, To the Editor: .. In the Oregonlan of August 20, appeared an article stating that the amount of road contracts that has 'been let by the State' Highway com mission .on August 1st, 1919. was nearly seventeen 'million dollars, v covering nearly all sections of the state- and providing for various kinds of roads.. I read the article with Interest because one of the three . great highways of the state passes directly through Deschutes - county. Bend and in fact all of Cen tral Oregon, and I was anxious to see If we were forgotten. I found that we were, for out of that very large sum of money. The Dalles California highway (the one passing through Deschutes County) had or would receive the insignificant sum of about $46,000.00. This I assume will be spent on a short piece of road near The Dalles. Central Oregon will get nothing. When we stop to consider that The Dalles-California highway pases through the entire state of Oregon and is something 375 miles long and has probably as much travel as any through highway In the state we ask ourselves why we are not given our just portion of road money which the tax payers of this state are paying Into the road fund of the state. And also those who have been so fortunate or un fortunate as to have traveled over the road from Bond to Klamath Falls begin to ask themselves what happened to the money paid Into the road fund of the state.- The re port mentioned above will show what bis money Is being used for. In the report he will sea that in.i.,j of it being put into the trunk lines or tne state including The nnii... California highway, that all over the western part of the state and mm. parts of Eastern Oregon side roads ana by-ways are being built with it. while we continue to run ovr hH roads to pay the bills for bniMin.. gorfd roads In other parts of the state. -. The question that presents ltif Is; who Is responsible? Can we say thnt It Is the Highway commiflslnn' In my opinion a lot, but not all, the blame may be placed on the com mission. That the commission have , neglected this section cannot be dis puted. The balance of the blame can be placed on ourselves, on the commercial clubs ' and Ihe county courts of the counties through which the road panspA. We havo been - playing a game of watchful : waiting probably on the theory that the old saying that "all things come to those who wait" Is good business policy. The hotter theory to follow Is what might be Implied by that other saying "The Lord helps those who help them selves." I do not believe that we have boon exorting enough . pressure on the commission, or that what efforts we have made have not been follow ed up consistently by those In au thority. During the curly part of the year a good start was made when Bond, The Dalles and other commu nities got together and made urgent requests on the commission for aid, and got the commission to realise that there was some merit to our position, but we failed to follow the matter with the same strenous et forts that we started with and the result was we were put on the shelf for another year. Even the small amount allotted to us in this county on the main highway Is, still unused Unless we change our tactics we will continue in the same condition for the next several years. The value of this section of a good road from the Columbia River to the Call fornla line through Central Oregon can not be estimated in dollars and cents. Our part of the state will lag in development until we get good roads. Will we get them? Yes, If we go after them right. In order to go after It right we should continually talk good roads, continually urge the building of The Dales-California highway, through the press and every other agency possible; see that our legislators protect us properly in the legislative road program each session; see that our county courts are on the job every minute and that our commer cial clubs and other civic bodies are busy with the commission and the legislature at every opportunity. Un der the present State and Federal laws enough money is provided to build every through highway In the state, besides many of the side roads, during the next two or three years. Out of the moneys provided we are entitled to and should received suffi cient to build The Dalles-California highway. By united and continuous effort we can get the money, other wise we will continue to have to visit other parts of the state to ride on good roads for several years to come. Let us get busy now for 1920. H. H. De ARMOND. WATER PLENTIFUL IN SQUAW CREEK PLAINVIEW. Aug. 25.
