PAOR 3, FEDERAL FUNDS 0 BUS OREGON HAS $127,794 AVAILABLE Interior Routes, CentcrlnR on Ilend, Will Bo Benefited Greatly If tho Counties Cooperate Lewis to Make An Extended Trip. (Special to Tbo liullctln.) SALEM, Ore., Oct. 1C. Central Oregon hlgluvays centering ut Uen.l will como In for n big iharo of atten tion and subsequent expenditure under the provisions of the Shncklc ford bill, which provides for coopera tive road Improvement by tho federal forest service and the state and coun ties. At a meeting of the highway com mission hero Inst week tho matter of approving certain main hlGhwajs was taken up by 11. J. Finch, senior highway engineer of tho fsdcral of fice of public roads and rural engi neering. Tho designation of tho Btato roads by tho commission, Mr. Finch said, was essential, before the forest ser vice could obtain the necessary road funds. The forest servlco also de sires to cooperate with counties In the mapping and building of roads running through reserves. Hero Is a list of tho roads r,p ptoved by tho commission: No. 1, from Portland to Ashland on tho Pacific Highway. No. 2, from Portland to Ontario via Baker. No. 3, from The Dalles to Klamath Falls via Dead. No. I, from Portland to Ontario via John Day. No. G, from Florence to Mitchell. No. G, from Mend to Lakovlow. No. 7, from Bugcno to Klamath Falls. Improvement of theso routes will now bo undertaken under section 8 of tho Shackleford bill. That section provides that tho forestry department will match the expenditures of coun ties for road Improvement. For this purposo thero will bo nvullablo for Oregon out of federal funds, $127, 794 next year. That amount will bo spont exclu sively on tho routes designated. Tho federal work will bo done only on tho main roads adopted by the state, so that subsequent expenditures by tho stato Itself, which would be probablo under the circumstances, would sup plement tho starts made with tho forestry funds, with a view to getting permanent roads of real excellence. Will ; ()er Route. John H. Lewis, stato engineer, and In charge of tho state's highway work, says that Mr. Finch Is very favorably Impressed with tha road projects of Central Oregon, and in clined to encourage a good deal of work on both the main highway load Ing frohVThe Dalles to Klamath via Hcnd, and especially In the establish ment of a permanent and Improved route from Ilend to I.akevlew. In a couple of weeks Mr. Lewis and Mr. Finch will make an extended trip over the roads In question. Thereafter Uie latter will determine Just how tho funds should bo allot ted, and It will bo up to th counties Involved lo take advantngo ot tho of fers of tho forestrv ilnnnrlmpnt. Pre sumably, If counties arc unwilling to Join with the department liv Improv ing the designated roads within their boundaries, the funds will bo taken to other counties who want to avail themselves of the cooperative offer. If Mr. Lewis approves tho proposed routes finally, as he Bays ho Is practi cally Buro to do, thoy will bo placed on the official map of stato hlghwajs Issued by the commission for noxt year. Thereafter It would be reason ably sure that stato work would bo done only on thoso approved routes, In preference to any minor roads. The exact division ot tho federal fund will not be determined, It Is understood, until after thu first of tho year. At that time tho counties will bo given tho chnnco to get big Bllces ot tho forest funds It they c.tre to make equal appropr'atlons.

In reprinting the road smposlum articles which appeared In Tho Ore gon Voter recently, there is present ed today the article discussing labor's attltudo on highway con struction, written by Eugcno E. Smith, president of the Central Labor Council. Oregon needs good ronds and many of them, llecause labor took a de cided stand against tho million nnd a quarter road bond Issue of Mult nomah County this should not be In terpreted to mean that It does not favor good roads. Hather labor wishes to bo In harmony with a gen eral program for Improved highways that promises equal consideration for nil elements and Interests. I would say further that labor will bo found In agreement with a gen eral program that while differing from Its conceptions of the problem In snnio details has during Its de termination afforded nn honest op portunity to labor to advance Its. labor's, Ideas on tho subject without prejudice. Just as tho city dweller Is directly Interested In our city roads or Btrects. so Is the farmer directly Interested In our country roads, llenco labor's general policy reluthe to roads to bo Improved, that Is, their location, how those will bo Improved, meaning the nature of the Improvement or con struction, and how financed, will bo that of tho organized farmers as only through these organizations have wo any way of determining tho farmers' desires. Labor Is generally opposed to bond Irsucs. Wo prefer to see tho actual con struction performed by the munici pality direct, bo it city, county, stato or nation. If, however It Is ilono by contract, clauses protecting common tabor, specifying conditions of em ployment, minimum wages and call ing for tho cmplo) merit of homo labor, Bhould by all means be Insort ed In the contracts. Homo labor may bo said to bo that which has by length of residence qualified ns a voter Insofar as residence qualifica tion Is concerned. Work on road Improvement pro jects should be so arranged when practicable, that It will be performed during dull seasons of unemployment of n private character, but safeguards should 1m restored so that It will not permit thu luduo exploitation of it glutted labor condition. Education of tho people ns to costs, systems and ronds to bo Improved, should bo undertaken by n proper organization whoso Intercuts aro that of tho public at largo nnd not that of private Interests. It Is lilting hero to say that labor believes that tho prlvato Interests engaged In constructing roads or furnishing road material should advcrtlso honestly their ability to construct nnd their wares Just ns any othor business con cern has to und not resort to politics nor to masquerading as Good Itoad Associations, etc. Labor Is opposed tn royalties as a matter of principle. Wo believe pav Ing patent aro grounded on common engineering knowledge rather than upon tho application of uny nowlj do v'sed or discovered mechanical prin ciple. Whllo organized labor of Oregon has no well defined policy us to convict labor being used on road work, it Is safe to say neither labor nor any other element of any conse quence In Oregon would stand for this lalwir being farniod out to road contractors. In other stutes, how out, the stato Is using and using profitab ly to Itself and to tho prisoners, con victs for this purpose, and personally It appeals to me as being n very good use to put theso moil to, particularly If they aro glum somo remuneration, so when they leave tho Institution they will bo bettiv nolo to contluuo law-abiding citizens. In conclusion, ' would suggost that the fanners should be encouraged to Join the farmers' organizations, us this will mean more frequent discus Rlons of a community nature by more of tho farmers, and thlr can only re sult In a moro progresshe under standing of the good roads' movement WANTS STILL IIICIIEIt HATI'S After having petitioned the state Ptiiille Servlro Commission for per mission to raise the rate rhargftd for Irrigation water, tho Hquaw t'rk Irrigation Company has filed a pell tlou with tho commission Staking to mako the rate still higher tyian pro vided In Its first application The amount now asked for Is tl 00 per acre foot and the printout rate Is 3.1 cents.

In the fourteen month extending from December St h, 11)11, to l'ebnmry 10th, 11UU, there were fifteen mes sages, letters and speeches of Trett dent Wilson which I hue rend. In theee llftveu messages, letters and speeches, during those fourteen mouths, President Wilson tool: forty one different positions about prepared ness and the measures necessary to secure It; and each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to sir of the others. In many of his speeches the weasel words of one Kirtlou of the speech took nil the meaning nut of the words used lu another portion of that speech; and these latter words tbeiusrUfx Issd a weasel significance ns regards jet other word. He ar gued for preparedness und against preparedness, lie statist that our army wns nmple; niul that we did not hac enough troops to patrol the Mexican bonier In tlmo of peace. He said the world wns on fire, and that purls were liable to drop anywhere nnd cause us to burst Into, flame; and he also said that there was no Imme diate danger. He said that there vrus no sudden crisis; and then again that he did not know what a single day would bring forth. Ho said that we were en the verge of n maelstrom; nnd then that there was no special or critical situation. He said the dan ger was constant and Immediate; nnd also that wo were not threatened from any quarter. He said that there was no fear among us; and also that we were lu dally dancer of seeing the vital Interest and honor of the country menaced and tho ting of the United Stair stained with Impunity. Ho snld that wo wero lu tery critical (lunger of being lnolved lu the great European struggle; und also that there was no need to discuss the question of defense, or to get licnoiiH or excited about It. In mm and the same speech, he s.ilil that it siilllclent number of men would uluii(ccrvaiid that If they did not ho would bo ushanied of America; mid hu also snld that bo did not know of any law which laid upon them the duty of com ing Into the army, If It should be nctemary to call for volunteer. Hr said that wn needed 500,000 volunteers, and that If thero was any legitimate criticism of this demand It was be cause It was too small; and a soon ns Congressman Hay objected to the plan, bo promptly abandoned It. He said that the National Qtinrd was not the proper body upon whlih lo rely; nnd then not only ehanged his own mind but forced hi own Secretary of War out of his cabinet, because tlili Secretary Msesed less flexible con t lotions nnd was nimble Instantly tn reverse himself when going nt full speed.
