aiijUUjvu rail's cost a ci'iu aim a nan iv iiucu txia-n
a ton mile. People kick at the cost. The average
good Oregon wagon road transportation costs 25 cents
a ton mile. The great majority of Oregon roads are not
good and cost from 00 cents to $1 a ton mile. A hard sur
face road of macadam construction costs eight cents for
transportation a ton mile, yet it is only the farmer who
mires his empty wagon when he tries to go to town in the
Oregon winter that kicks at the cost.
The figures just given were obtained after careful com
putation from every section of Oregon by the Oregon Good
Roads association. J he contrast in cost on good and bad
roads has given the association more courage to continue
its fight for better built highways in this state. .Railroad!
rates make much diiierence in cost to consumers and prot
its to producers. Thus, says the (Jood Roads association,
the increased transportation cost of bad roads takes money
from the farmer's pocket and adds to the price of living
without profit either to the producer or the consumer;
since the mud swallows all the difference and never makes
returns.
When advocates of good roads from every section of
Oregon went before the legislature last week they had
the tremendous cost and the effective development restric-,
tion of bad roads in mind. They were a little disappointed!
when some of the legislators urged that each county could
conduct its own road building without help. Jt was believ
ed that broad-minded legislators would know that the
very purpose of their gathering to make laws to work
in unity lor the good of. the state and ior every county
in the stale, and that concerted action in road building was
perhaps more important and more essential than any other
state activity. Governor Oswald West, in an interview,
answered this mistaken idea on the part of the legislators
when he said: "It is a notorious fact that the road work
of (he state has been done in the past upon a crazy-quilt
hit-and-miss plan, which gave no permanent relief from
bad and oftentimes practically impassable roads. There
can be no doubt concerning my desire for the inauguration
of a sane and sensible system of building good, service
able, permanent highways in the state of Oregon, f am
heartily in favor of the construction of good roads and
hope to see the time speedily arrive when the public high
ways in this state will be second fo none. I trust, there
fore, that the gentlemen who are now banded together
for the promotion of the good roads movement will keep
ever in mind the idea of the practical and economical, and
that out ot their united efforts will come for Oregon a
uniform and desirable system of public road building." ,
.It was necessary for Judge Lionel R. Webster, Dr. An
drew G. Smith and others of the Good Roads association!
to sar forcibly before the senate for the benefit of unin-j
formed opposing senators, that the proposed highway,
board and commissioner does not spend money obtained'
either from state aid or by counties bonding for road build-'
ing in counties, but the county authorities locate the roads
and spend the money, while the state board and highway
commission give advice and direction as to scientific coii-j
struct ion of roads in each county. The vote that followed!
showed that a majority of the senate were not slow in un-1
dcrstjmding, nor narrow in development ambition. When
the highway board and commissioner bill was approved!
great satisfaction was felt by the hundreds who had comt
before the legislature, because it was on that bill that tin i
whole great system of road making planned for Oroirop1
counties depended. It was thought then that to secure tlu
passage of the other bills would not be difficult, because
upon count if was found that a majority of Oregon legis
lators stand for progressiveness and development and not
for obstruction.
