FAIRNESS AND T H E STATE OFFER TO BUILD
100 FEET MORE BRIDGE
We do not blam e the West Springfield people
for tak in g steps to protect w hat they th ink is
th eir rig h ts in the bridge approach controversy
but they also should not lose sight of th e fact
th a t th e public also has rig h ts equal with theirs.
Ju stice for all is a great principal in this country
but it should not be m ade a m ockery of u n reaso n
ableness.
T he state highw ay com m ission in offering to
build 100 feet m ore bridge on the west end to
settle the controversy is reasonable, and is taking
a step at least half way in settling the co n tro
versy, especially in light of the fart th at both the
sta te and the federal engineers advise them that
it is not needed. If the people of West Spring-
field continue to hold out th en it m ust be con
cluded th a t they hold th eir selfish interest above
th a t of the general public and do not wish to see
th e bridge ever finished.
T he public will soon get tired of being the goat
and seeing justice tu rn e d into stubborn self
ishness.

W e believe th a t th e road to the coast should be
finished, if for nothing else because it is a federal
highw ay. But $75,000 a mile seem s to us a little
high. P erhaps som e of the arg u m en t used on
th e county court to get the road through reg a rd
less of cost would be b e tte r used on property
holders to get th e expense of right of way down.
We m u st have th e road it is granted, and the
people willingly voted $100,000 to help out, th in k
ing it would cost less th an a million dollars. The
w a te r grade a rg u m en t doesn't seem so sound to
us w hen we th in k of the snake trail over the low
pass in order to get to th e M apleton-C ushm an
section.
A road is little b e tte r than its w eakest
portions.
It seem s as if the w ealth of w om enis to in
crease by leaps and bounds, until wom en will
dom inate the country financially. T his is not at
impossible, in fact everything points to the co n
clusion th a t if women keep up th eir speed in
acquiring m oney they will be fa r ahead of men
in this respect.
W ithin the past few years, sociologists have
been ran tin g about w om en’s place in the home.
and all that sort of th in g / never realizing how
firmly intrenched women are in the financial lit«'
of the land. It isn't even im probable that in a
cen tu ry or so the tables will be tu rn e d and men
w ill be clam oring for equal rights.

Lindstrom and Fiegcrson, w ho com pleted the
Springfield bridge several weeks a h e ad of their
co n tract, have done a n o th e r speedy job in Port-
lnd. On a viaduct they have put in a claim for
$200 a day because they built the viaduct 21 days
ahead of tim e and th eir c o n tra c t calls for a
bonus.
T he sta te m ight as well ask for a deed to all
the land in W estern Lane county and perhaps the
engineers will have sufficient to build the coast
road on. Those McKenzie people who kick about
an SO-foot right-of-w ay can console them selves
th a t the sta te did not ask for 200 feet as it is do
ing on long stre tc h e s of th e Siuslaw road.

N early all the com m ittee of W est Springfield
people, who are holding up the bridge approach
com pletion, a re m en engaged in business m ade
possible by the fine highw ay the public has built
p a st th eir properties. If th ey were consistent
and fair they would be the last to hold up any
Im provem ent of the highw y system . If som eone
bad held up the building of th e Pacific highway
or had th e grade raised or th e route changed,
they would not be w here they are today and have
th e opportunity to o b stru ct progress.
