SALKM. Ore., Jan. 23. Represen
tative William I. Vnwtcr, of Jnckson
and Douglas counties, chairman of
tho house committee on roads and
highways, announced today that In n
few days ho will introduce n bill In
creasing tho state road levy from a
quarter of n mill to n mill. The
toioasuro will amend tho present high
way act, and If passed It will bring
Into the coffers of tho state approxi
mately $900,000 a year for road
"work. To this sum .Multnomah coun
ty alone will contribute about J3G0,
000. "California has appropriated ap
proximately I2C.000. 000 for road
work, of which sum SIS. 000, 000 was
appropriated by the legislature, nnd
npproved by the people, and with Its
southern neighbor expending title
huge sum for road work. Oregon can
not afford and ought not to desire to
lag behind," said Representative Vnw
tcr In makiug tho announcement. "1
realize that thcro will bo opposition
to tho bill, although I cannot sec
why thcro should be becnuso good
roads arc a necessity. I am given to
understand that the Orange will op
pose tho bill, but slnco Multnomah
county will bo tho heaviest contri
butor to tho appropriation, and Its
pooplo have agreed that, if the bill
passes, they will not ask that any of
the money be expended in that coun
ty. 1 cannot sco why the Grange
should fight tho bill as It will mean
that tho other counties in tho state
will derive the benefits."

since the sportsmen ot tho state
have, by reason of tho formation of
many game organizations throughout
the state, carried on mi exteusivu and
comprehensive campaign of education
along scientific lines, we, the business
men of Koxehurg, Or., feel that an
injustice is being done to the state of

state game commission uud divettiue
the game fund to tho enerul treasury
to be used for general iirposc".
'Wo stand for the hihest standard
of efficiency in protection uud in

believe that the present method of ad

than any legislation yet "to posed.
We condemn niiv uttemut to draw this
