PORTLAND, Jan. J). "OreRon's Uriel roads fund is big enough. The state's hampered development, the unpopulated areus that should he producing wealth for busy communi ties, the difficulties of vehicle trans portation, and the excess in wear and tear on everything that travels the roads, including people, arc to be charged to this had roads fund." This statement of Oregon's condi tion was ib'sued here today by the Oregon Good Koads association. It is the reason assigned by Judge Lionel II. Webster, chairman of the association's executive, committee, for si determination to enlist every progressive) Oregon citizen, every man or interest to bo benefited by good roads construction, and every legislator who desires to servo the interests of the -people, in the effon to reduce rood building plans in Or egon to a permanent, definite and ef fective system. Lack of system is charged by ull conversant with the situation us cause for Oregon's poveity in good roads. The constitutional bar 10 road building that existed until lift ed by the people at the last election shards" the blame. The Oregon Good Itonds conven tion recently held here, approved five good roadb measures drafted oy Judge Webster, because of-the be lief that if these measures are adopt ed by the legislature the system o! construction des.ired will bo inslitut "ed. All were ngreed that the most im portant of the five measures is the one creating a good roads commis sion. The members of this commis sion nro to be three in minibct. When appointed their .services will cost the state nothing. -They will serve the cause of good roads i'oi the good of the people, as a public duty. Their executive officer i& to be the state highway commissioner. The bill requires that the state high way commissioner must be 'thorougn Jy skilled in scientific road construc tion." I lie authority is to help build roads in every part of the state. He must know how. lie must serve the people and the cause. Any failure to fulfill reqiirements will mean hi dismissal Authorities are agreed that his proposed salary of .f-1000 5iryear will be but a small portion of the real financial advantage to be realized hi the state and its coun ties becauso of the commissionerV service. He will be exponent of sys tem, the system that is expected to show tangible results in the form o' actual miles of permanent gojd road. MONEY KINGS MEET BIG BANK FAILURE NEW YOltK.

To the Honest, As a candidate for the office of mayor of this fair city, J wish to make the following statement: I entered this race at the earnest solicitation of my manjr friends and after careful deliberation on the matter. I .mi in the race to win, and believe that all honest men will vote for me ad the principles T represent. I believe that Medford should have the best officers that are possible to get that men should be elected to fill office knowing that when tnhey get those offices they will be required to fill them in a creditable manner. I believe that the interest of the many should be served instead of the interests of the few that a city government that progress should be shown at all times and yet that expensnes should be kept as low as pos sible that the honest majority should rule at all times that only those men properly should be appointed to those otiiees and that no grail should be allowed to entenr into the city affairs at any time. 1 am a republican always have been one and will re main one for a long time E hope. I am running on an in dependent ticket in this election and have the assurance of a great many friends that X will be elected. . 1 have held several offices, and wherever I have been T have made good and can show a clean record. T can give to this city the kind ol administration the majority or cit izens would desire. I do not hang around the saloons do not cater to them. Still L believe that if the majority should express a wish to see them continued, 1 will is long as they keep strictly within the law. 1 1 any should violate the law 1 will do till in my power to see that they ire punished, and if they persist in violating the law I. wiil strive lo see that their licenses are revoked. .1 believe that I can fill the office of mayor in a most creditable manner that 1 can stive the city money that I can insure more harmony that there will be less cause for dissatisfaction than ever before that every interest that deserves to be served will be served in the yovy best manner. I am not pledged to prohibitionists or, saloons, to cliques or interests of any kind and have no friends who are seek ing office. My only object in running for the office of mayor is this T wish to see that the city government is run as it should be run. There is but one way to run this city, and that is on the square. Can anyone state that it has ever been run that way? Hasn't it been run more for the spe cial interests than, for the interests of all? Haven't one class of citizens been favored while the other and many times better class been ignored? Who are the real rulers of this city? The people should rule, and if 1 am elected I will do all in my power to see that the people do rule, if you want flie people to rule you, you should vote for me. Will Appoint Advisory Board. If elected to the office of mayor, 1 propose to appoint in advisory board, which will consist of at least seven rep resentative citizens. Before appointing anyone to office I will call a meeting of this advisory board and consult with them as to who is the best fitted to hold the several offices. 1 may not always know who is the best for the jffices to be filled, and by advising with representative itizens I am sure to recommend the best men. Jn this way 1 will be compelled to go according to the wishes of the people and will not be running a one-man affair or dealing out appointments to friends or relations. Not that l do not feel capable of choosing the right man, but that the people may be sure that everything is being done for their best interests. Respectfully, E. F. A. BITTNER.
