SALEM, Feb. 2S. Fifteen hun
dred miles finished roads in Oregon
iu the coming three years and f 23,-
83S.000 to finish them with, is the
picture painted by Chairman Dennis
of the house roads and highways
committee at the session ot the sen
ate committee.
According to the analysis of the
figures by Mr. Dennis it is known
that Oregon will receive $6,119,000
in round numbers from the federal
government for post and forest roads
construction.. This fund must be
matched dollar for dollar with state
.. funds. 1 . : , : ; -
Taking all funds available, from
the past bond issue, the Bean-Barrett
bill, the auto, and gasoline taxe3 abtl
the quarter mill tax levy the state
will have gross. Including the federal
money,- $25,038,000 for highway
work in the next three yeirs. The
estimated cost of overhead and ad
ministration during that time is put
at $1,200,000, which is perhaps high,
leaving tho net amount available for
road constructioa during the period
of $23,838,000. .
The state highway commission,
using all funds available for the con
struction of post and forest roads, or,
in other words, for other than payed
roads,: will have approximately $4,
219,000 with which to match the
federal appropriation. This is ap
proximately $1,900,000 short of the
requirements,' which Bum must he
found in some manner by apportion
ment of the $10000,000 fund of the
'honding bill by the highway commis
sion. f Under this bill the commission "is
bound to spend 75 .'per cent of the
Ifund on the roads of first Importance,
meaning the Pacific and Columbia
highways.. Twenty-five per cent or
approximately $2,500,000 is to be
spent on other than primary roads.
It will be up to the highway com
mission to so arrange its plans that
part of the $10,000,000 fund can be
used to fill the gap, and it is thoueht
that this can be done under the dis
cretionary, powers granted the com
mission in the bill that had Just

SENATOR LODGE iu his capacity of republican loader
of the senate, has not added anv to his fame bv adopt
ing the role of professional obstructionist to the league of
nations, no is playing trie partisan politician instead ot
the statesman in his efforts to arouse public, suspicion and
opposition to the league and as Sir." Taft has warned,
suen.narrow leadership, if followed, will wreck tho party
It would not make any difference what kind of a league
was formed, Lodge would oppose it because the president
favored it, as he has opposed every act of "NVoodrow Wil
son, for whatever the executive has done is wrong and
whatever he has opposed, is right according to Lodge
mo tne league is not a partisan question.
No one pretends, least of the statcsm.cn who have form
ulatcd this program for the reconstruction of tho world
along nnes tor' permanent peace, that the proposed consti
tution of the leaguo of nations is perfect, but as Washing
ton said of the American constitution, it is the best that
could be obtained under the circumstances. America can
not dictate the terms, for America is only one of the many
powers concerned, but the wouoscd draft furnishes a
foundation npon which an enduring edifice can bo erected
in the future without in any way jeopardizing the rights
oi nations.
Lodge has attacked the fourteen noints surrsrestcd bv
TO : -Jt;i l . . , c,c', .
x ic-siueiii, it iison as a oasis or peace vet tne nations are
bound under the terms of the armistice to enibodv these
fourteen points in the peace treaties and repudiation
woiuq oc a Dreecn ot taitn, tor tliey nave been accepted by
an oengerants.
Lodge would have a treatv of peace made with Ger
many iirsi ana a league ot nations drawn leisurely after
wards yet every phase to be settled in the peace treatv
depends upon the acceptance of the league, and without
sucn a timoeratie league to bind the allies, thev would
shortly be fighting among themselves over a division of
spoils and tne league be delayed another century.
statesmen of the world realize this situation and have
acted accordingly because the people of the war-torn
countries demand such action. President Wilson merely
voiced the desires of the people and it was the popular en
thusiasm he aroused iu Europe that caused the advocates
ot an imperialistic peace, like , Clemenceau. to abandon
their project and attempt to comply- with the demands of
tne people tor it is universally recognized that this is the
pysciiological time tor tne creation of a league and with
out the pressure of the existing situation caused bv the
war, the formation would be indifinitery postponed. The
oniy assurance or a democratic peace is contained in the
league.
But Mr. Lodge is a reactionary of reactionaries and at
heart is for the old-fashioned imperialistic peace with its
huge armaments, exploitation of conouered nations and
submerged peoples and inevitable future wars and he
tully realizes that such a peace is the only alternative of a
league of nations hence would let the pyhcholoerical mo
ment pass to reenact tne tarce ot another Hague tri
bunal. . .
It is a joke for a Tory, believer in vested rights and
supporter of privilege like Lodge to talk of Lincoln, for
Lodge represents the element that fought Lineoin as vic
iously as he is fighting Wilson and succeeded in embitter
ing the life of the great emancipator by their unnecessary
opposition.
-Liodge s record is one of unceasing opposition to
democratic movements. His vote would pass the woman's
suffrage amendment, but he stands pat against it. He op
posed popular election of senators, direct primary nom
inations and all the movements designed to make this a
,1 a j in i -
ueiuocrauc nation ana oi course opposes a league of na
tions. . - .,
No kind of a constitution could be framed upon which
all nations could agree, that quibbling technicalities could
not and would not be raised against it by the Lodges of
tne various nations wno look backward rather, than for
ward who believe in the sacredness of prccedent and es
tablished privilege rather than, the emancipation of hu
manity from the curse of war and autocracy.
It has been aptly stated that the alternative to the dp.
mocracy of the league of nations is Bolshevism and the
people can take their choice, for anarchy and and blood-
snea win sweep juuropo it America breaks faith with her
