The greatest difficulty iu build

construction or even the payiug
for them, hut convincing the
people locally that it can be done
without burdensome or ruinous
taxation. No community ever be

gravel roads, usually called hard
roads, without the most bitter op
position from those who would lie
most largely lienefitted by the im

to know that no community ever
began the building of hard roads
that did not keep on doing so.
When the taxpayers had had the
experience of using the roads and

W. Scott of Portland, Or., who
was tendered the Ambassadorship
to Mexico, today declined that of -1
fice. The declination is made in j
a letter received by President Taft ]
today.
Colonel Scott expressed appreci
ation of the offer, but declared
thut business considerations com
pelled him to give up any thought
of accepting the mission.
Senator Bourne made the follow
ing statement regarding Mr. Scott's
declination:
“ I am disappointed by Mr.
Scott’s decision to decline the Am
bassadorship to Mexico, for Ore
gon thus loses recognition incident
to the appointment of one of its
citizens to a post of so much im
portance. 1 have worked hard to
help secure this honor for Oregon
and for Mr. Scott, who is ope of
the ablest men in the state aud I
regret that the Ambassadorship1
must lie filled by another. The
suggestion of his name was not
prompted by any political consid
eration whatsoever, for Mr. Scott
and I have not agreed on princi
ples which 1 conceive to be of first
magnitude aud importance. In
suggesting his name I recognized
his ability aud fitness for the posi
tion and endeavored in this case,
as iu others, to measurably lay
aside personal feelings and sug
gest an apjioiutiueut that would be
most creditable to ( »regon aud to
the nation.”
