ISSUES PROCLAMATION
FIXING "GOOD ROADS" WEEK
Beginning Momlay, February 5,
Executive Wishes All to Dis
cuss Roads for One Week.
Governor Oswald West hna ac
knowledged the receipt of the nu
merously signed xtition from Med
ford asking for n special nession of
the legislature to consider good road
legislation nml states that it will be
given careful consideration by him.
He has also issued a proclamation
fixing the first week as in February
as good roads week, during which
time the people of the state nnd tho
press in particular are requested to
discuss the matter of better high
ways. Tlio Proclamation.
The proclamation of the governor
is a? follews:
Salem, Ore., Jan. 20.
Oregon is on the eve of n great
awakening. The morrow will bring
the Panama Canal, nml with it will
com -unbounded opportunities with
their attendant influx of population
and consequent commercial and in
dustrial growth, advancement and
prosperity.
Our Creator in tint lu-rMlininr. mr.1.1-
fd 5ur Mate with kindlv li.imT.T,u!
we think of Iter delightful climate',
ber hundreds of miles of golden
beach, her lofty mountains nnd rush
ing streams, crystal lakeB and beau
tiful harbors, Iter magnificent forests
and rolling prniries, fertile valleys
and roaming herds, o her waving
grain and luscious fruits hind dotted
with prosperous cities and productivo
fnrms we must admit thnt nature
has fully performed her part. The
federal government too hag treated
us fairly in the wny of appropriation
for the development of our waterways
and even tho railroads hnvo awakened
to the realization of our needs and
their op'Kirtuuitie.s and are checker
boarding the state with bniidt o
steel.
Itoads Aro Neglected.
In view of these things wo are
prompted to ask ourselves what
should we do in the way of co-operation
with these several agencies for
the development of the stnto? It is
true tint we hnvo given good laws,
good government nnd good schools
and many other desirable things to
those who hnvo come within our bor
ders, but much of this, good hns boon
nullified by some of tho things wo
have failed to do and chief among
these is our neglect in tho matter of
the construction of good roads.
Wtihout good roads there can bo
no great development and no great
progress. What wo need most is more
people moro people in tho rural dis
tricts. And in order to attract peo
ple to the rural district wc must mnko
rural life pleasant and attractive.
You cannot maroon a new settler and
his family on an ocean of mud, no
mutter how beautiful tho spot, and
expect to find him hnppy and con
tent, lie demnnds good roads lead
ing to tho church and tho schools
and good roads leading to tho miir
kets and ho is going to locate in thut
section whoro these advantuges aro
to bo found.
Is Goot Hualness.
It is not only our duty but it is
in keeping with good business to
build good roads. Monoy spent for
good roads is monoy well spent. When
wo speak of spending severul million
dollars during tho next few years in
road construction many aro staggered
by tho proposal and tho Hfures. They
apparently aro not aware that tho
sovcral counties in this stnto spent
over 10,000,000 during tho past six
years for road work, much of which
was lost through lack of system and
knowledge as to scientific road build
ing. Tho question of good rondH has
been fairly well disoussed of Into and
wo huvo learned more about road
building during the past few yearn
(Coutluuea on I'o I.)
