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
