California Says War Will Come
in the Not Far Distant Future.
PORTLAND, Or.. March 21. "J

in the navy that the Washington gov
ernment has known for some months
that there is a force of 011,000 trained
Japanese in OrcgonlVashinglon and
California, all with rifles and am
munition," said Hurr Mcintosh, fa
mous war correspondent, who is in
Portland today. "In my opinion,"
he continued, "Japan and the United
.States will bo involved in war anil
tho tiem is not bo far distant as
many imagine.
"I have been making a careful
study of the situation and am con
vinced that the Japanese now here,
working as laborers and servants
are ready to tako up arms at a mo
ment's notice.
"Their first acl will be to blow up
the passes between the Pacific
states and tho east, thus cutting oft
all communication by rail. Then,
with a fleet of 2110 merchant vessels
and men of war that Japan has been
collecting for two years she can land
200,000 men here within 110 days.
There are 10,000 Japanese in Scat lie
alone, and this force could easily
take the Paget .Sound country."
Mcintosh intimated thai Jnpau
would Hlart trouble by insisting thai
tho Panama canal should remain un

SUGGESTS AMENDMENT TO
AID CRATER LAKE HIGHWAY
Coming With Family to Sec Orchards

"I am not nested on the snliicct
sufficiently to speak authoritatively.
but I do not holiove that county's can
vote bonds for road building pur
poses until the legUnturo passes an
ennbliiig act," stated Governor West
yesterday. "I intend to post mysull

"I have not boon asked to call a
special session to consider the good

call ono, if the members of tho leg
islature will sign pledges agreeing
Io pay their own expenses, so that it
will not cost the statu imv add!.
lional money, and will confine their

i-LiuriN in roan legislation, i urn not
willing, however, to call one under
any other conditions. The pooph
have had quite enough of legislative
politics at the taxpayers' expense.
'I think it nritctical and l'ensillli
for the Medford Commercial club to
submit to the people at tho noxt gen
eral election a constitutional amend
ment permitting (lie state Io construct
highways and then go after tho leg
islature for an appropriation for the
Crater lake highway. I think the
move- would bo successful.
"1 vetoed tho good roads bills bo
cause, in my opinion they woro
grossly defective. JFor instnuco, the
state aided bid provided appropria
tions, hut designated no one to whom
the money should be paid. The pro
visions of the various measures wen
defeelivo'and conflicting, and would
probably have been hold invalid by
mo courts it permitted to htand. M
opinion was confirmed when tho statt
good roads association requested me
to veto all the enacted legislation,
as their attorneys held it invalid.
"The best bill of them all, that
providing prison labor for highways,
never passed th0 house. Whether I
havo authority as governor to loan
prisoners for road construction is
something I am not prepared to stall
until further investigation, but thoii
use, especially for such a scenic
highway as the Crater lako road,
should be antlioii.eil by law.
"I recognize Ibo value of good
roads and am a friend to proper leg
islation, but little of vnluu can re
sult 'from making the subject a foot
ball of politics, as was done by tlu
last legislature."
Governor Wert is fascinated b
the beauty of tho Kogue river valle.
and will return in a month with bis
family to see the orchards in bloom
as well as to see that fishing condi
tions on the Rogue Khali have beei
remedied. This summer bo will visit
Crater lake, view the boulevard in
