SALEM, Jan. 10. (Pj No ma
terial interference in the ntate
highway -program will bo made by
legislators of the 3tith Oregon as
sembly, if tlie sentiment express
ed by Senator -Willard L, Marks
of Linn county, who is slated for
the senate presidency without any
apparant opposition, is substanti
ated. The views of Senator Marks on
the road isuc are also shared by
virtually all senators and represen
tatives answering questionnaires
sent thorn by The Associated Press.
The views represent a cross-section
of the state, and hnvo been
voiced by veterans as well as new
legislators.
"Personalty. I favor no material
interference with the state high
way program, having confidence in
the .state highway commission as
constituted." Senator Marks staied.
"I believe that it should continue
its present plan of operation. I
think that if any new r oa ds are
placed on the highway may, it
should be done by the commission
after ca reful Investigation rather
than through legislative lug-rolling."
Ij. h. Mann, lT mat ilia county
senator, concurred in the views of
Marks. He said in brief, "I be
lieve that t he highway program
lias -been well managed, and I am
willing tt leave that -to tho high
way commission." The highway
program has been one of the major
Issues faced by legislative assem
blies in the past.
Representing Tit-ant, Harney and
M a 1 h e u r ico u n t Ich, Sena tor J . D .

Associated Press, said he would not
comment on tho issues that may
come 'bo fore tho legislature "furth

is, entirely to the commission."

possibility f being named chair

mission, and oppusition to any
tampering by the legislature. Sen

highway development, particularly

The demonstration farm experi

termine if results on a small scale
were equally applicable to actual

After allowing all costs of pro

In spite of her pert demeanor she
