I Dealing I 1 BONDING BILL OF QUARTER MILL LEVY STILL IN EFFECT. Selection of,Ncv Highway Commis sion Mny Do Made In Two Weeks Lewis Can Not Tnko l'nrt In Roml Affairs. (From Saturday's Daily Dullotln.) SALEM, Fob. 24. (Special.) Road legislation occupied much ttraa and attention during tho legislative session just closed and much that Is highly Important to all parts of tho stato was onactcd. Undor tho bond ing bill, which goes to tho voters for approval or rejection In Juno at a special election, Central Oregon Is especially well cared for, and Bond bocomes tho hub from which will rad iate no less than six Important stato roads. Tho quarter mill levy for road work remains in offect. Automobile licenses nro doubled. A bill, which passed with tho omorgency clauso, authorizes issuance ot $1,800,000 In bonds, this amount matching tho sum avallblo from tho fcdoral treas ury, undor tho Shacklcford act. Thcso throo acts aro now In offect and provldo tho whorowlthal for stato highway work during tho next two years, whothor or not tho big bond ing mcasuro comos into offect nftor June In addition, tho method or road administration hos been changed. i HlKlnwiy Hoard CliunRcd. Formerly stato road work has boon dlrocted by a stato highway, commis sion consisting of tho governor, tho stato treasurer and secretary of stato. Docauso of tho multitudinous duties of thoso officials, provontlng thorn from giving ndoquato attontlon to tho road administration, hlghwny supervision has been transferred to nn Indcpondout highway commission. It Is to bo composed of throo cltlzons sleeted by tho governor, ono from each congressional district. Tho act making this now provision carrlod on omorgoncy clauso and Is now in effect. It Is oxpocted that Govornor Wlthycombo will select his commission within two weoks, and thorcaftor the now road administra tion will got under way. Stato pnglnorr Lewis mado stron uous efforts to rotaln a connection with tho highway department. Tho 1915 legislature tried to place road administration undor a soparato high way engineer, but through technical imporfoctlons In tho law, Lowls was left at tho head ot tho department, undor tho highway commission, as woll as nominally conducting tho dut ios ot tho stato engineer's office In tho legislature Lowls lobblod hard to bo mado an ox-otflcio mombor ot tho now commission but attor a hot fight ho was oxcludcd ontlroly from participation In road administration. Itoail Dills Important. Tho road programmo canslstod ot six bills of prime Importance There Is ono known as a proceduro codo which prescribes methods for tho op ening, laying out and vacating ot highways. Horetofo'ro throo differ ent processes have been avallablo and thoy havo promoted moro uncertain ty and confusion than good high ways. Tho throo systoms havo by tho procoduro codo boon revised Into ono workablo system, has to do with expenditures ot coun ty funds and administration ot coun ty road work It docs away with tho tlmo-honorod supervisor system, and provides for appointment ot a county road inastor Instead. In oth er words, it centralizes authority In county road work and eliminates tho haphazard, and cxpenslvo systom so long In "force In Oregon. It also specifically ropcals by section num bers many conflicting road sections in tho codes and session laws, lligtmny Codo Notable. Thero Is, further, an ambitious measure known as tho state highway codo. Its objoct Is to prqvldo pro cedure for construction ot hard-surfaced highways and for co-operation ot county and stato in construction of what is known as stato highways. It dispenses with tho existing ex offlclo Btate highway commission, composed ot elocted state officers, and provides for appolntmont by tho governor of a non-salaried commis sion of tbreo, ono member to be from each congressional district. It sov ers the highway engineering depart ment from tho stato engineer's of- TRY OUR Pasteurized Milk Oihctl lie iL Nooe Kcp brt. let. SIt4 hive doubled in put 30 day.. CENTRAL OREGON FARMERS' CREAMERY PhooeRed 131 OK I flco, and gives appointment of a high way commission. This bill carries an omorgency clause. A mcasuro known as nn act to regulato motor vehicles is, In its main effect, a road law. It doubles tho present motor vohlclo license taxes and dovotes tho whole procoeds to road work under supervision ot tho stato highway commission. Tho old law required that motor vehicle llconsos bo apportioned to tho coun ties in which they wcro collected after payment ot tho cost ot llcenso tags and other Incidentals of stato administration. Tho money wnB thusl scattered and Inefficiently cxpondod In many Instances. Undor tho now law tho automobiles will pay, on tho basis of tho oxlstlng number ot sui vehicles In Oregon, about $300,000 a year In tho stato road fund. Still another road bill Is tho Dean Barrett bonding act. This is a con tingent or omorgency measure It authorizes Issuance, In event revenues from established sources aro not suf ficient to moot allotments of gov ernment road funds, bonds In an amount equivalent to tho doflcloncy. This bill also carries an omorgency clauso, and Insures cxpcndlturo in Oregon of tho cntiro government al lotment for post roads and forest roads and an equal sum of stato monoy as Is required by tho fodoral act. This assuranco prevails regard less of tho fate of tho $6,000,000 road bond Issuo to bo submitted at a special election Juno 4. Bond System Laid Out. Tho $6,000,000 bonding act lays out a definite system of stato high ways and post roads. Stato high ways aro to bo paved, hard-surfaced undor tho provisions of this net. Tho bond Issuo proposed Is a capitaliza tion of tho proceeds for tho next 2G years of tho quarter-mill road lovy that has oxlstcd for soveral years, and tho increased motor vohlclo tax. Thcso revenues on tho basis at tho prcsont tax valuation and tho oxlst lng number of automobiles In Oro gon, will nmortlzo not only tho $C, 000,000, but tho full limit ot bonds authorized under tho Bean-Barrett net. In other words, tho Issuanco ot tho $6,000,000 In bonds and Is- sunnco of tho full amount ot bonds authorized by tho Bean-Barrett act do not mean any Incrcaso In taxa tion. Tho $6,000,000 proposal Is to bo submitted to voto of tho pcopla at a special election Juno 4, at which titno soveral othor measures will also go to tho people Of Indirect bearing on tho road programmo Is a reduction ot the grav ity test for gasollno horetoforo es tablished by law. Government Inves tigation has shown tho test to bo ot no valuo, but It has mado gasollno ono cent a gallon dearer In Oregon. Elimination of tho test will glvo Oregon consumers gasollno at tho snmo prlco as consumers In other states pay. On an avorago tho sav ing will Just about oftsot tho Incrcaso In nutomobllo license taxes In tho courso of a year.
