BAD ROAD FUND
IS 100 BIG NOW
Oregon Good Roads Association
Making Headway In Their Cam
paign for Better Highways in
State Bills Drawn and Ready
,i . .
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.

Great tacks of nionoy were piled on
the counters of paying tellers whei
the banks opened today, while reas
suring statements were issued by J
P. Morgan and othor leaders in tin
fiuancinl world.
Under Morgan's? direction th
E(iiitable Trust company prepared U

pany, while .Morgan iwrsonally as
sumed the responsibility for the ob
ligations of tho Nineteeenth Wart

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.
