Si. L. Aolson was also called upon
to speak on the road district law,
and L. A. Hunt printed out that
while ail agreed that, the highway
must he built, it might he done eith
er by diverting the market road mon
ey or by a new bond issue.
U. W. Turner spoke strongly In
favor of completing the highway as a
matter of good, sound business, stat
ing that the completion of the high-
I way from the Gilliam county line to
1 Butter creek, which seems to hinge
on the gua.ding of the nine miles be
low Heppner, would relieve the
county of the cost of maintainance
of some GO jniles of road which Is
some item. The fact that the state
will have to expend almost a hall

"The public highway transporta

"Tiie kig'iwry transpornl ion sys

pans (a) federal highways are
ihoio roads upon which a large
part of Hie traffic is long distance
and interstate and (b) stale high
ways upon, which the traffic is most
ly intov-county and all within t.h
slate, and the (c) county hlgnway,
those upon which the traffic is near
ly ali confined within the limits of
the county.
"The federal highways are used
both for inter-stale and inlra-stale
t nil t ie and the cost of the construc
tion and niaiillainance ' should b
horn jointly by the federal govern
ment and by the stale in proportion
to the use and benefits received by
each.
"Stale roads are likewise used for
county and inter-county traffic, and
the cost in turn should be paid joint
ly by slate and county in proportion
lo the benelflts.
"The county roads are local mar

'the highway, making il plain thai
while (his plan seemed most feasible
lo him, he believed Ihe question of
diverting the market road fund lo a
bond highway should be pul up to
the farmers of Ihe Bounty and decid
ed by them. In this view Ihe club
as a body joined.
A committee composed of S. E.
.Not son, F. It. Brown, L. A. Hunt,
was appointed to meet wwilh the
Farm Bureau on Saturday lo discuss
the mailer wilh" that body.
From information gleaned at the
meeiing Friday night the sltualion
seems to he ahoul as follows:
Nine miles of highway from TU-y-mer's

This action was la'ken voluntarily

Hoover Sees Peril
Secretary Hoover tn a con IV rence
with newsnaper men the oilier day,
said dial the logical conclusion from
railroad rales which prohibited the
natural and increasing movement of
freight according lo Ihe demand,
was that the inevitable result would
bo realignment or rezoning, which
would tiring the manufacturer and
the consumer together in a shorler
haul. The secrelary of commerce,
together with lending traffic expert!!
Is.conviiiced thai Ihe present ra
road rate, which throttles business-,
because It is excessive, if continued
In effect will eliminate the long haul.
Very significant In this connec
tion Is the expression of Daniel Wil
lard, president of (lie Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. Mr. Willard is ex
tremely conservative in his state
ments always, and between the lines
of what he said can be read a dis
position on the part, of all railroad
executives to lower Ihe rale of all
railroads as quickly as may be.
"I do not expect (o see railroad
