During the 1909 session I Intro­
duced a MU appropriating 9100.090
to pay the Indian W ar veterans fo r

Wars o f Oregon, a debt contracted
by tbe Oregon T erritory and stand­
ing unpaid for over 50 years. This
bill passed the Hous« was killed In
the Senate, but a sim ilar b ill be­
came a law In the session o f 1919.
In 1908, upon my own motion
and at my own cost, I instituted
suits before the Railroad« Commis­
sion against the W ells Fargo and
Pacific Express Companies o f Ore­
gon for a reduction o f express rates.
Both these suits were decided in fa ­
vor o f the shippers, and a reduction
o f twenty per cent was made In the
Oregon rates, saving to people o f
Oregon thousands o f dollars.
A t the 1919 session, I Introduced
the Roosevelt Coast M ilitary H ig h ­
way B ill, appropriating 93.500,090
contingent upon the governm ent ap­
propriating a like sum for the pur­
poae of building a highw ay along

counties to the California line,
which passed the legislature, was
referred to the people at the spelal
election June 3rd, 1919, and was
approved by a vote o f two to one.
And a bill haa been introduced by
Congressman
H aw ley
of Oregon
asking Congress to appropriate the
sum o f 92.500.000 to match Ore-
gon’s appropriation. California and
Washington have Introduced bills in
Congress asking tbe government to
build a highway from Puget Sound
along the Washington coast con­
necting with the Roosevelt H igh ­
way and along the California coast
to the Mexican line, and the State
o f California has voted 94,000.000
for tbe building o f this road.
Should these bills be passed by Con­
gress. it w ill result in a highway
from Puget Sound along the Wash­
ington, Oregon and California coasts
to the Mexican line.
During my term as Register o f
the U. S. Land O ffice I worked for
tbe revision o f the public land laws
In the interest of the homesteaders
who were seeking to settle the wild
lands o f Oregon.
I prepared and
had Introducd in Congress providing
for an annual six months’ leave of
absence for the purpose o f giving
the homesteader an opportunity to
earn money to live on w hile improv-
inghis homestead and to allow those
who had children o f school age an
opportunity to send them to school,
which resulted in the Leave of Ab­
sence Law.
I stand squarely for more and
better roads; for irrigation of our
arid lands; fo r the improvement of
our rivers and harbors; that - the
government build and maintain all
roads in the national forests for the
survey and classification of all laads
in the Forest Reserve; that tbe non-
timbered, agricultural and {erasing
land may be segregated and thrown
open for settlem ent; for a bigger
and a grater Oergon. ’
