PAGE SIX t ' ' . ' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1911. r i. .v. v . WEST i IS FRIEND TO ROADS Says That if Special Session he Called for Consideration of Good Roads, He Would Scorn to Play Politics To tho Editer: Ab a mombor of tlio last legislative assembly, I did my host for tho lm&sago of such road laws as would onabla Orogon to itnprovo lior highways. But too many con flicting opinions dofented what I am euro wnB tho wish and doalro of tho pconlo nt largo. And aH for my sin gle Kolf I fool a responsibility. I fool, as a body, tho legislature of 1011 has not faithfully fulfilled Its duty. At last November's election tho pooplo of tho tit til o called for adequate road laws by n majority of 18,000. Tho hj'-'xt four years, loading up to and In cluding tho great Panama exposition, will bo by far the most important pe riod in tho ontiro history of Oregon. Washington, to tho north of us, and California, our neighbor on the south, fully apprcclato tho lmportauco of tho groat wcBtorn movement, and are spending millions on tholr highways. California voted a rond appropriation nt her last election of 111,000,000. Washington is not only using hor pris on labor, but at tho prosont session of tho legislature appropriated over ?l,ri00,00a In cash for tho building of jior roads, and yot nolthor Washing ton nor California arc in anywhoro near tho need of adequate roads that Oregon Is, owing to tho naturo of our soil, togotbor with tho fact that west of fho Cascado mountains wo hnvo no frozen ground to help out during a part of tho yoar. Ah it now stands, unless something is dono In tho wny of a special Bosslon, wo must wnit two wbolo years boforo oven a Htnrt can bo mado, and all Ibis time ovory other section west of tho Hooky moun tains is getting roady for tho great est rush of emigration that this con tinent haB'ovor Boon. Hotwoon now nnd tho eloso of 101C thoro will bo nloro pooplo visit Orogon than tho sum of hor prosont ontiro population, I enmo to Orogon tho first timo In March', 1003, Wo woro 12 homoscok orB In tho party. Wo stopped first at linker City, and tlion at ovory town or city of Importance- until wo reached Portland. From Portland wo visited tho principal towiiB through tho WU lnmetto valley, whoro wo woro stuck In tho mud, looking ovor tho country at nearly ovory point whoro wo stop ped. Tho ontiro party was very fa vorably Imprcssod with Oregon and Its possibilities and ngreod that It was n Btato with a groat futuro, but said: "Who wanta to llvo in a country llko this, whoro tho pooplo don't appro cfato tho vnluo of good roads?" Tho result of thle homosoekors' pnr ty waH that I am tho only one out of tho 12 who decided to locato In tho stnto and make It my futuro home. Tho roBt roluruod oast disgusted, and thoy aro still writing mo, saying' "Orogon Is all right and will bo tho best state In tho Union whenever the taxpayers realize what good roads mean to tlieni. When you people wako up to this fact wo aro coming back and will bring dozens of our frlonds and relatives with us." It is n fact that fully 7G por cont of tho homoseekcrs from oastorn states who are looking for homos op tho coast, coino west between tho mouths of October nnd April, or during tho wlntor mouths, because at that time thoy aro at loasuro and wunt to got away from tho cold winters which aro so sovoro la tho eastern and middle western states. During this time Ore. gun has hor rainy season and when our oastorn visitors discover tho frightful condition of our public high ways thoy return homo disgusted. You will find that auyono who visits Oro gon between tho months of April and October duoldtm to stay or como back as ho gets n favoinblo Impression of tho stnto, becauso of tho fact that dur ing this part of tho yoar wo onjoy fairly good roads, In my humble opinion tho stnto of Orogon Is losing oyer $10,000,000 annually from those Investors on account of tho bad con dition that our highways aro In at tho prosont timo. Tho trans-contlnontnt rallronds aro active In building up nil parts of this state. Every community and ovory Interest wast of tho Rocky mountains aro trimming tholr sails for tho com ing flood tide of emigration, and yot ' (ho Oregon assembly, choson by tho pooplo to pass a few laws, has ad journed without passing tho most Im portant net that camo boforo It prac tical good roads laws. Now, speaking ns an Individual member of tho houso, I nm frank to sny that K that body ennnot got to gotbor In special bosbIoii, eallod by the governor, nnd pass without aulbblo tho proper rond Jaws, which will be satisfactory to tho governor, tho Good Honds association, tho farmer nnd nil oilier taxpayers, enabling nil parts of tho elate to go ahead nnd construct Bclontlflc and passablo Highways, then I say any mombor or sot of members who undertake to play politics and ILLJHOISANS TO T H UH T Election of Officers for Ensuing Year is Chief Business Lunch eon and Program Has Been Ar ranged for tho Evening.
