There are numerous reasons why

even if th«* wealth and population
of the state fully justified the under

the following:
The plan was f»rmulal«*d or given
birth at a banquet at the Henson
hotel in Portland, just a few days
before the close of the legislative
session and the |>a»<<ag«* of th«* meas
ure was driven through without giv
ing legislators a reasonable time to
deliberate upon and to duly consider
it. At the banquet there were no
doubt lepresenlativea of the paving
companies, which are deeply inter
ested in the success of the scheme.
They are interest«*d because the life
of patented pavement will expire in
a short time when, of course, there
would be no rakeuff in the way of
royalties for them. Hence (to them)
the vital necessity of quick action.
Admitting the value of paved high
ways. they can be construct«^! two
