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.
