Qfiaal Paper for tau C d ’.
Some Road* Not “ Political Road*“
An editorial in the Daily Journal
one day thia week upholds Governor
Olcott in hia official action in vetoirg
the road bills enacted by the special
legislative
aession, characterizing
them as “ political roads’’ but quali
fying this by saying that the road
through Sherman county and the road
through Malheur county had merit
and would some day be bui.t by the
state highway commission when that
merit could no longer be denied.
Thia is a public vindication, from
a recognized road authority and from
outside of Sherman county, that the
course adopted by Representative
A. M. Wright in this proposed post
road measure, was “ righ t.”
All the time Mr. Wright was work
ing for recognition of this measure
creating through Sherman county a
post road with terminals to be decid
ed by the state highway commission,
but beginning at the Columbia high
way and extending to a jueture with
the Dalles-California highway atfor
near Shaniko, he contended that sole
ly on its merit must this road be con
sidered and to this the Governor, and
others agreed.
Yet, people of Sherman county are
of the opinion that because of the
numerous other road legislation pro
posed, putting purely local thorofares
on the state road map, the economic
construction features and the geo
graphic standpoint of a through road
through Sherman county has been loet
sight of.
* .
The Journal states that this road
through Sherman county is “ more
than a county road” and to this all
agree who have in any measure con
sidered this question solely on the
ground of the best interests V>f the
state at large.
We believe if Governor Olcott had
made a sharp distinction between
roads of merit as against purely local
roads and between the same class of
roads and through roads offering alter
nate routes and had then considered
these roads strictly on „ their merits
and made this basis a test of fitness
to survive the official axe, the ques
tion of overloading the state road
map with purely local roads would
now be definitely settled in place of
bringing the whole question up for
settlement at the next session of the
legislature through the medium of
consideration of vetoed oil Is.
Farmers of the Harmony commun
ity "met Tuesday afternoon of this
week to organize their Farm Bureau
and plan their work for the coming
year. Officer» elected were P. C.
Axtell, president; Homer Belshee,
vice president; and J. O. E lliott,
secretary.
Reports of the committeemen show
tiiat over 86 per cent of the farmers
of that community have joined the
Farm Bureau and 80 per cent of the
members were present at their initial
meeting. The Farm Bureau feels
that there are a few things that can
be accomplished by cooperative effort
and outlined what they expected to do
during the year. All were interested
in improving the class of livestock of
the community. Howard Belshee and
Mr. Hinshaw both stated that heavy
draft horses were going to bring good
prices in the very near future. The
livestock committeeman, Howard. B el-
shee, w ill investigate the prices of
pure bred draft mares and it may be
possible to use a car load in thia com
munity. They w ill need two or three
bulls and the Shorthorn was preferred
by most of the men. Some attention
w ill also be given to farm flocks of
sheep and pure bred hogs.
The community plans to improve
the wheat of the neighborhood through
field certification with P. C. A xtell in
charge. Weed control w ill be given
attention under the leadership of Neil
McDonald, Wilford Belshee and Robt.
Belshee. The community plana to do
msome work along the following lines
with the men named in charge:
Ford cars for sale. Your choice of
Poultry improvement, Roy Keasin-
three touring cars and one Chandler ger; Labor problem, T. J. Henkle;
chummy roadster. R S Goff.
County fair, T. S. Reese; Farm Bu
reau News correspondent, J.O. Elliot.
While every one in the community
Always read the Observer.
has all that they can do at home they
feel that a little time apent in coop
erative effort along these lines w ill
be time well spent.
