MANY REGISTER slim Christmas
FOR ROAD JOBS IN PR
ON STATE PLAN
Twenty-Five at Work in
County Since Monday
Must Be Residents of
Jackson County.
Registration of unemployed men
of Jackson county, for work on
the state highway widening proj
ects. Initiated ao a means of fur
nishing relief, continued briskly to
day, with close to 30 men regis
tering with t!ie county court.
C. H. Armstrong, resident engi
neer of the state highway commis
sion, rcpo-'t. that about 20 men
hud been put to work since Mon-
day, neediest. (a-es receiving pref
erence. At j.:et?ont the vork is
not thorou jhly ot jraniRed, hut the
Mate hlghwiy commission ia work
ng on a systematized plai-.
It Is planned to place the men
at work on both the Pacific and
Crater Lake highways in Jackson
county, widening- the narrow
places. Similar work has started
in Done-las and many of the Wil
lamette valley counties.
One ironclad rule is being ad
hered to In assigning wo"k, thoso
employed must be married men
and :w.na fid residents of Jackson
ounty. Siplj men with uenend
ents will be f,lvcn consideration
after married men with dependents
have all been cared for.
Transients Refused.
Two single men, who have been
residents of the county since last
May, were denied their applica
' tions. A number of transient la
borers met the same refusal.
"The single man gets just as
hungry as the married man with
depend en la," said County Judge
Alex Sparrow this morning, "hut
he has no hungry children. He
has nobody to hustle a neal for
but himself.
"Wo are not going to provide
work for transients. Tlio county
Judges and highway commission
specifically agreed to this. They
felt that the transients should have
remained at home in the first
place. The present depression will
be something o'f iv blessing if it
weeds out part of the auto tramps.
I have hopes that a few, after they
have starved nil winter, will havn
ense enough to settle down and
go to work, and not spend their
last dollar for gasoline."
