British Coluinliia is sponding many millions in highway consu'ueuon. OVocon alono of tho const states' is not spon'dini? a font for highways and the outlook is gloomy for its spending any. Constitutional amondments passed at the last general tfkction'piiymit tho state and tho county to, spam! two porj eont oC thdir assessed valuation for hiimwnv const met ion.1 Enabling acts arc necessary to make these laws effective and tho legislature so far has shown incapacity to pass (hem.

"What is tho nso of making a display at tho exposition to attract tourists Avhen tourists cannot get through the state when thoy eome i Tho legislature is not only deadlocked on an enabling act to permit countries to bond themselves, but has made no effort toward building tVunk lines through the state. Tho Pacific Highway is one of the great assets of the state, yet the legislature cannot see that it is worthy of consideration. . . Ten millions of dollars of appropriations are asked al ready not a cent for tho Pacific highway. Moreover, the legislators will tell you such legislation couldn't pass, and if it did, would be refcrended!

Js the state always to be tlie const? Always to lag behind her sister states in enter priso and development i She will, just so long as her legis- miora iau ro grasp tue necessity ot state Highways. The lack of good roads is costing Oregon hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. The state is daily losing de sirable population and wealthy homeseekers. Oregon's attitude is forcing the best class of people to pass through her on limited trains at night to reach a state where thev have real highways instead of streaks of mire where the part that the tourist plays in a country made beautiful bv liatiux is realized .and appreciated and real effort madit to attract them. The fact that the valley is located in Oregon instead of California has cost the Rogue River vallev millions in money and thousands in population for in California the state not only permits counties to develop themselves but co-operates in their development. Oregon's road lethargy will not only keep awav desir able immigration and shut off tourist traffic, but force her own citizens leave the state to secure that which they ore ui'iui'ii iii iiqine.
