' . proposed to expend state money upon the road from Eugene to Lake creek, I opposed it on the ground that it was not, is not and never will be a state road. To me it is a criminal waste of public funds to expend them upon a road that begins and ends in the same county over which no traffic of state nature or importance will ever pass, and as an economic proposi tion the amount to be expended will never bring proper returns upon the Investment. Benton county realizing that it is purely a local county road is providing for the construction of a thoroughfare from its boundaries from its own funds and even offer to pay part of the construction In Lane county. At this time when highway funds are at a low ebb and when ever dollar is needed to complete the main highways it is nothing short of ca lamitous to divert them to the con struction of a local road, the cost of which should be defrayed by the community directly benefitted. "The construction and improve ment of Oregon's highway system has been to me of intense interest Storms On Coast Not Yet Over San Francisco, Nov. 17.

No cor poration, no group of corporations and no group of individuals is go ing "to deliver American recogni tion to Mexico" it was stated au thoritatively today at the state de partment. I was stated that, as a prelimi nary to recognition the American government did not insist upon the abrogation of article 27 of the Mex ican constitution provided the op eration of the article did not In fringe upon the rights of Americans in Mexico. Officials added, however, that if the operation of the laws enacted under article 27 were confiscatory or retroactive the United States could not accord recognition. The United States, it was declared, is actuated solely by a desire to pro tect all valid Interests of Americans in Mexico. Committee Opens Investigation of Irish Conditions Washington, Nov. 17.

But Didn't Give Liquor To Salemites; Is Jailed Leaving Chester Foster and Oli ver Reissbeck of Salem "holding the bag," Frank Johnson, a negro, returned to Portland yesterday aft er he had been paid approximately $150 by the two men, in return for which he is said to have promised to deliver two cases of Canadian whiskey, Chief of Police Welsh stated this morning. Officer Davis, of the local police force, left this noon for Portland to bring back Johnson who is charged with larceny by bailee. What action if any, will be taken against the two Salem men, is not at present known Welsh said. The story, as told by police, is not without its humorous side. Fos ter, who is a local cigar maker re siding on North 17th street, told police last night that a negro had approached him near the Oregon Electric station, asking for the price of a meal. When he pulled out a roll of bills, aggregating $165. the colored man snatched them from his hand and disappeared in the crowd, officers said Foster told them. Portland and other points were immediately notified of the aHeged robbery, and word was received from Portland last night that the suposed thief had been apprehend ed. Salem officers instructed Port- another, the chief said, and then left, saying he was going after the whiskey. 'Possibly he was going to Can ade for it," Welsh said, "but he got no further than Portland." Foster and Reissbeck waited for a consid erable length of time, it was stated, and finally Foster reported the matter to police stating that he had been robbed. Before further details were brought to light, it was planned to prefer an assault and robbery charge against the colored man. He is said to be very small lnstature. and about 25 years of age. He was dressed in dark clothes, Foster said. Citizenship Is Held Inherent Indian Right St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 17.

Americans Must Seek Oil Abroad United States Exhaust ing Resources to Sup ply Foreign Demand Declares Expert Washington, Nov. 17; The Am erican petroleum Industry must look in the future to foreign coun tries for its raw material, and cannot "close its eyes to a por tent of obstruction that looms in its way." due to the attitude of foreign governments, President Walter C. Teagle of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, told the American Petroleum Institute here today. Companies Frozen Out "Certain governments, their re alization of the importance of pe troleum quickened by the war, are not only easnylng to enter the oil business themselves, but also di rectly to engross the sources of supply and reserve the develop ment of such sources to their own citizens companies and capacity" he said. The speaker classed these efforts as tending to the "estab lishment of a system which we believe unjust, injurious and un wise." He mentioned England, France, Jarvin and Mexico In con nection with his presentation of the situation. Essentially, Mr. Teagle said, the American industry has to face the problem of production. During the present year, he estimated, the United States Will consume 445. 00,000 barrels of crude oil pro duced within the nation, ana Im port 120,000,000 barrels additional from Mexico. "These figures matter little but the tendency Is all important," Mr. Teagle said. "It emphasizes tne relatively smaller part our home production is going to play in the future. British are Scored "Our British friends, in en deavoring to explain the position their government has taken since the armistice, have argued that as the United States is now supply ing seventy per cent of the worlds current production, we should be Well content with things as they are. This is an entirely fallacious view. Is it reasonrtble, to ask that Americans go heedlessly On to the quick exhaustion of their own sup ply and then retire from the oil business, the American petroleum industry cannot accept such a conclusion. It must look to the development of petroleum outside the United States. "What we are now obliged to consider is the fact that by the policy of government control and restriction, the oil Industry has been injected into international politics, where, as occasional rev elations during the past year com pel us to believe, the rule of 'open covenants openly arrived at' has fallen Into a state of deplorable neglect." Russian Field Slump Rusk:. 1, Mr. Teagle said, had "gone wholeheartedly into the oil business" and fields which produo ed 69,000,000 barrels under pri vate management In 1915, produc ed 34.000,000 in 1919. Neither "special privilege nor direct gov ernment management has given or will give the people of the world the production desired,'" he added. As examples of "foreign gov ernments deliberately placing ob stacles in the way of those who would like to rtssist in the devel opment of new sources of sup ply." Mr. Teagle cited the San Remo agreement, "proposing a division of Mesopotamia and oth er Near East territory between the British and French," and "the tripartite agreement" recent ly entered into between Great Britain. France and Italy defin ing spheres of influence in Tur key, which is susceptible of dipio matie inquiry as to its true mean ing." Americans Shut Out "You know that Persia is an.iost entirely limited to the develop ment work of an English com nanv." fie continued, "that in Dutch company enjoys almost com plete monopoly In the Dutch East Indies; th.it Japan restricts ae velnnment of petroleum proper- ,i m hr citizens, while the French provide for complete na- tionallation of all mineral re sources. 1 "The netroleum question con ftitutes one of the most acute fac tors in the Mexican oblem, though a confiscatory program has os yet failed of more than part'.il I Pointing out Vhat the United States had never limited aliens in exploiting oil resources within Its territory or reserved ub-oil rights In privately owned land.

The embassy's reply, addressed to Oswald Garrison Vlllard, editor of the Nation who appointed the com mittee declared the only outcome of the inquiry would be the spread of propaganda and that there was nothing in the composition of the committee, itself to remove from It the idea that it was not impartial or prejudiced in advance.
