SPLENDID MEETING l A splendid BChMou of the Medfonl Commercial club was held Wednesday night nt which n lurgo number of niilttiTH wore dif.crihi'ed tending to iniprovo various matte in Medford. Over 100 now membera were added to tho membership roll of tho club, the incmhcmhip cornmittco making good ii(igna. Anuiig the different topics dictiss cd by members of tho club tho inot iiiiporltuit wan tho erection of a huge manufacturing plant in tho valley. Y. I. Vnwter outlined the project nnd hinted that the capital for the project was iihoiired. This enterprtso would . employ frbvcral hundred men with a largo payroll. Ono of tho most interesting talks of rthe oveniug was mado by W. J. Can ton who recently located bore. Hu gave his improshioiiH and paid n glow ing tribute to tho valley. A number of filhvrs ppoke. Pitelior Jurlos Johnson, who work ed for the I) Indium to n club lust year, has signed with Jack Dunu'u Haiti more team. FACETHERCHARGE BOES MUST II COMHL LEGISLATION AS' IT S. GOVI" den rNOK WEST sent a message to the legislature , li. . :--" T -rr -- j-j w playing politics and report the general appropriation bills lorthe state institutions, none of which have so sir been reported out of the committee. Since the beginning of lite session, the governor declsir ed, these bills have been slumbering in tho committees, yet with onlv nine working davs left to the session, thev were still in cold storage. With $!),000.000 asked, it 'moans $1,000,000 si day, he pointed out, to be disposed of now. Said the governer: "Tho budgets covering tho needs of tho ntnte Institutions, nnd which amount to n vast sum, wero prepared long before the session of tho legisla ture, given to tho public through the columns of tho press and placed In tho hands of the ways and menus committee Immediately after organisation. Yot tho requests for these needed appropriations apinuir to bo still In cold storage. Tho appropriation hills will tio presented by tho wit) a nnd means committee at such a late hour that no member of tho legislature will nnvo time to look into tho merits or tno Individual Items. "Thts office holds that tho necessary demands of our penar and elemo synary institutions are. In n wny a fixed charge and should bo given prompt attention, in viow or mis i wisn to inform your honorable uouy that no appropriation unless It be one that Is absolutely necessary to carry on tho affairs of the stato government, will bo approved by this offlco until foiup disposition Is made of the appropriation which are needed for tho rare of mo warns or mis state. The governor s point seems, to be well taken, yet young Mr. Carkin of Jackson who is very new in politics, slapped back at the governor in si motion to lay flu- message on the table. Chairman Abbott of the ways and means commit tee is also righteously indignant. Yet the governor's assertions are true, as every one about the eapitol knows. All legislation is hung up in the ways and means committee and has been every session for years, to force favorable action on certain lulls pending. And if you can't deliver the goods in advance on certain measures, you can't get si favorable report. There are a number of niesisures that bob up every yesir, which color sill legislation one of them is the state prin ter's job. "Unless a representative is lined up to perpetuate this graft, ho has little chance for favorable consideration of appropriations sought on merit, and so on numerous bills in other word he must purchase support by his own vote on innumerable other measures. And as with this com mittee, so with most others. Some times a clique of legislators will be orgsutixed and deliver votes in a solid body in exchange for support of pet measures. Multnomah lists such sin 'organization at the present session. Individual judgments are surrendered and pooled and it is almost impossible to force through any important legislation save by such organization. "Wire-pulling," "log-rolling" and other terms are ap plied to this sale, barter stud exchange of votes for other votes. There seems no way to check it under existing conditions it is almost essential for success. Cutting out lobbyists, who organize these voting pools, would help, and electing higher types of men as legislators, would do the rest. As it is, merit has little consideration. SAM HILL ON OREGON ROADS. IN ln's address to the state legislature on good roads, Sam Ilill said that the "Willamette valley wilLsome day sup port the greatest population of white people in the world. Oregon, two-thirds the size of the German empire, he said, will have a population of 44,000,000 persons, and he showed how geography and conditions of distribution made this inevitable. Then he told how he had passed through Ash land, Medford and Grants Pass, thriving ami well-paved in the course of trips through every part of Oregon to learn exact conditions and the need for roads. Continu ing he said. "What did I find? Between these beautiful cities, farm houses were boarded up. The farmer did not have good roads and the comforts the- make possible, and he had gone to the cities to get them. Yet we must keep up the soil. It is the only real basis of prosperity and the only condition under which our government will endure." Telling of the need in road building of intelligently directed and standardized work under state superivisioii, Mr. Hill said: "You "will never have highways in Oregon as long as you have not n proper head to determine where those high ways shall be and how they shall be built. It is the work of an expert, trained to that work alone. A railroad en gineer, no mrtter how great, cannot do it. J know from experience in having an expert rqjlrond engineer build some roads for me. It is a specialized work. "Yet you expect your county commissioners to build roads? My God, how can they? They can't make watches, can they'? You don't expect them to. They were never trained to do that. Yet you expect them to build your roads for you. I say, how can they build roads ? "And now a word about the suspicions against stale supervision. I don't blame the people of Oregon for their distrust. I don't see how they can be expected to trust anyone when I look at the map and see three great belts of land, given to build roads, and not a single mile of high way. I sec great districts in eastern Oregon, with more clear days and a finer climate than Los Angeles, and not tt passablo road to the outside. I see the wonderful scenery of the Columbia river, our great mountains, more beautiful than any in the world, inaccessible because there tire no roads. "You can't undo these things. But you can begin if you will, and pick out some high grade man, to direct your road work and standardize your roads. Would you like to lido over a railroad where a section hand had laid out the grades and curves? Would you like to ride on a railroad where you were bumped upwards every time you crossed a culvert. Why do you tolerate these conditions in roads'? "As president of the Good Roads association of Amer ica, I tell you that tho whole country is watching Oregon to see the stand it takes on good roads at this time, just as tho country watched it whon it was a fateful question whether it would decide for or against the union back in 1801." And the people of Oregon are watching tho stale legis lature to see what it is going to do for good roads. So far, with but eight days more remaining, it has done but little.
