oily toward (he expenses of the. Tri
Stole snort road meet to tie held in

formed Hint the oonneil would like
to jnnke tho move, lint if they did
hiilf rt doreu eitirens' would not s-lcop
until they hnd nn injunction niraiu.t
the payment of the warrant. Hill
Vlrioli, who was prcj-ent, served no
tice (lint he. for one, would revolt
to the courts to prevent the pay
ment, hut that he would contribute
$10 toward (he plnu.
The council wa of the opinion
that the city should do somethiuir,
and will circulate petitions akinu
for contributions. Colonel Sargent
said hoMvould give $10, but that the
lnw prevented the city from appro
priating money for Mieh purposes.
Consequently the council will re
m.Ivc ils-elf into a committee to so
licit fundi to make up the city!,
fdwre. A similar amount from the
county will he asked.
The Tri-Stuto meet will bring to
the city tho governors of three
Mates, and distinpiished const and
national good roads cnthu'.iiists, and
the publicity gained will be worth
ten times $'XiO.
Sargont (ho Watchdog
A. F. McLaughlin is an employe of
the city street department, and while
on his way to work suflercd an in
jury that necessitated his going to
the hospital for an operation. Ho
worked eleven days, the remainder
of tho month he was in the hospital
When tho city recorder made out his
check he made it for tho full month,
nnd there, was the rub.
Colonel Sargent did a mite of
watch-dogging of the city treasury.
He did not think McLnughliu should
be paid for a full month; it would be
a hnd precedent. lie said, with the
other members of the finance com
mittee, ho approved the bill, but
wanted his name scratched off. It
was not ripht to pay a man for work
he did not do.
The matter was put to a vote, and
Colonel Sargent was the only one to
tay nay.
Deny Sewer Hcductton
Application of Sacred Heart hospi
tal fur a reduction of $'M0 on their
sewer nsM'sMiicnt wn denied by the
council last night, on tho grounds
that tho sewer had been constructed
to the ho-pitnl at additional com, by
reason of the grade.
A new index book costing .-f2."iOf for
uo in the treasurer's office to lUt
the taxes, assessments, etc., was or
dered. Colonel Surgent said he
hated "like the dickens to spend this
money," but that it was an absolute
necessity. Ho said if Iee Samuel
should die, or move away, or become
sick, there was not n man in this
world who could locate any definite
information under tho present sys
tem. Ordinance Ilcjcctcl
A wonderful congregation of
words assembled in section (1 of an
ordinance introduced in the city
council Tuesday night by the Jler
Iiiiiitr association, puzzled the oily
council to such an extent that it was
ordered sent buck to the authors for
revision. Tho ordinance was in
tended to reguluto transient merch
ants by n lieenso fee of .1.')0 per
mouth, and if passed, would hit Hill
Vlrioli n liar I Mow. Dut because sec
tion 0 assayed no iutelligenco that
Colonel Sargent could find, it was
put over till tho next meeting. Other
purls were also jumbled, and at the
iini It it was discovered that no two
of the duplicate copies rend alike.

CONTRIBUTION
AD
CONVENTION
OF
POSTAL HIGHWAY
FUNDS TO STATES
Senator .Touathan llouruo. dr..
writes us follows in replv to i o.uery
regarding potul road funds, under
date of Washington. I). C. April HO:
''Replying to your letter relative
to the $."00,000 cNpertmontal road
fund. The fact of the mailer is that
Oregon received a larger portion of
this fund than it would be entitled
to under nny plan of apportionment
that has oor been suggested by hiiv
one for the upHrtionuiont of road
fund among the stales. It is nlo a
fact that many states did not receive
any of the funds, nnd some stales
received a far larger apportionment
than (hey would be entitled lo under
any plan thus far suggested. How
ever, (his appropriation was made for
purely experimental purposes and not
as n plan for general and extensive
federal aid to road construction. The
expenditure of the money was left to
(he secretary of agriculture nnd (he
Ks(mns(cr general, and tho-o two of
ficials are responsible for the man
ner in which tho money has been
apportioned.
Only Throe SlAles Acted
"In the first instance, the depart
ments mmortioncd $10,000 to each
stale, makin $480,000 apMrt'oned,
and leaving f'JO.000 for administra
tion. Only three states, Oregon, Ala
bama and Iowa, took advantage of
the provisions under (he original up-
vortionmeu( as to all slates that had
uot taken advantage of (he orig'nal
apH)rlionment. In my judgment (his
was inequitable in (hat it excluded
the three states (hat hnd (akcu the
$10,000 each. Those states should
have been given an opportunity to
submit proposals for an increase of
their aportionmcnt. and should have
been given nn increase if (hey could
show justification (herefor.

"I am also inclosing n letter from
(he secretary of the treasury trans
milting a recommendation of (he de
partment that a million dollars be ap
propriated by the present congress
for similar work. I'ersouallv, I am
opposed to this appropriation for
several reasons. In the first place,
if we are going to adopt a policy of
federal participation in road con
struction we ought to go at it in a
big way and not in such a small way
as this.
KipcrlnientN Knougli
''The theory of this appropriation
is that tho government will ascertain
some valuable information by experi
mental load construction. The gov
ernment bus been building experi
mental road-, for u number of yuers,
and in my judgment has learned from
such construction and from observa
tion of construction of state and lo
cal roads, all that can be learned lo
the expenditure of (he $.'.00,000 or
the . 1,000,000 contemplated by the
suggested bill. Another objection to
it is that it leaves the expeiidituio of
the money to the discretion of thu
secretary of agriculture ami llin
postmantcr general, which leaves op
portunity for discrimination such as
'there has been in the past. I believe
that if congress appropriates the
money at all it should also pi escribe
tho manner in which it shall bo ap
portioned to thu different sections of
tho country. If congress should
adopt tho policy of following up tho
appropriation of $.'.00,000 by appro
priating the $1,000,000, there will
next year be a demand for $2,000,000.
Too Mudi Fxecutlvo
"I have been trying ever since I
came to tho senate to arouse mem
burs of the legislative branch of gov
ernment to lio seriousness of thu
tendency (o leave too much lo the
discretion of executive (lepiiilnienU.
Through the delegation of such dl-
oictionnry power and the cxercl-o of
(hat power, the executive brunches

DISTRIBUTION
uilUJIur a llicy may derm bet I, I be
secielaiy of r.giieultiue and postnms-
ter general could practically die'nte
to the dit'foioiit slates what road
policy they sbnll adopt. I tun un
compromisingly opposed lo any such
proposition. 1 do not want the state
of Oregon placed in n position of
having to submit lo a government of
ficial hero in Washington in order to
secure n portion of the federal road
fund. In my judgment, whatever
fund is made available for expendi
ture in Oregon should be placed un
der the control of the highway oflie
ials of thai state, under such regula
tion as congress niay deem wise, but
without anv subservience to a bu
reau head here in Washington.
"I understand that it is probable
that this piovisinu wilt be included in
the sundry e'vil bill at (he present
session, in which event Oregon would
probably be given an opportunity to
participate in the co-operative plan
of highway construction. Whether it
would receive a proper proportion of
the fund, or more or less, would de
pend upon the discretion of the sec
rotary of agriculture and tho post
master general.
No Additions! (''units for Oregon
"For Hie ueent nil funds heicto
fore appropriated have been appor
tioned to the different states and it
is therefore impossible, 1 am told by
both the department of agrieultuie
and the postofticc department, for
any additional apportionment to be
made to the suite of Oregon.
"I might mid (hat in the last few
weeks a number of siu'cchos have
been made in public and in the sen
ate which indicate that my ooutiiiued
protest against delegation of discre
tionary K.vvcr to (he departments has
been fruitful, and pos-dhly, though
not probably, cougiess will proscribe
itt th's appropriation how it should
bo apportioned among the states. 1
find ititc n number of senators who
formerly did not mc much of impor
tance in my contentions regarding
the dominance of the executive de
partments, who now concede that the
conditions are becoming serious mid
that congress must adopt a policy of
prescribing definitely in (he statute
books the rights and responsibilities
of citizens nnd states in their rela
tions with the federal government,, or
we shall soon have a government by
dictators in practice, if not in name.
"Please be assured of my appreci
ation of your renewed expression of
the friendly attitude of (ho Mail Trib
line. With best wishes, I am,
Yours verv trulv,
"JONATHAN lini'HXK, JK."

It makes all foods more diges

CENT AND HALF
PER MILE COS!
OF
DKTUOIT. Mich.. Mav tl.- To the
man inclined lo believed that motor
oar travel is still somewhat of iv lux
ury, figures recently .coined from
more than JUKI Owners in Flov eland,
showing eonclusivelv that it costs on
the average cent and u half n mile
to diive one well-known t.vpe of oar
in that city, should prove interesting.
At present theio are more than
l..00 owners of Foul ears in 'Cleve
land. Of this number :U7 had owned
their ears an average of nine ami u
half months, and had kept careful
uud complete roooul of the cost en
tailed. Faeh of the 111" owners had driven
his ear nn average distance of r.'J";i
miles. Knell had i allied a load of
approximately -III pounds (three
persons) (he entire distance.
It cost nn average of f.Vi.01! for
gasoline per car for the nine uud one
half mouths' service. The average
expense for lubricating oil dining the
same period was $G.'J.S. The average
cos( of repairs pet car for (he en
tile tieriod of operation was $18,111,
lu wear on tire, the shoes of n
ear, this paitietilar ear dinned ex
ceptionally eeoiioiiiu al. The average
life of a sot of tires was ,V'."..I miles.
From these figures it appears that
it is about us inexpensive to own and
drive this tvpo of car as it is to walk
and wear out shoe leather, to say
nothing of the lime saved and dis
tances shortened.
