SEENJY COURT
Protest Would Lose $400,-
000 Federal Money for
Local Workers Highway
' Head and Court Confer
The county oourt. B. C. Washburne,
number of the state highway com
mission, and Ashland cltlziene will
confer today upon the matter of ex
pending M00.000 of federal money
for the Improvement of the Pacific
highway over the Blaslyous, which
hae been protested by Ashland dis
trict resident! on the grounds it wui
Increase taxes and change the pres
ent routs. Petitions protesting the
work hare been circulated in the
Ashland area the past week, and ac
cording to A. D. Helms of Asnisna,
600 sinners have been secured.
Blghway Commissioner Washburne
was due to arrive eany mis aiter
noon. The county court conferred
with Ashland citizens on the sub
ject 'yesterday.
Would Be "Godsend"
The position of the county court
that the road work would be "a
Godsend In relieving the unemployed
situation In the county," and If the
MOO ,0OO is not expended In this sec
tion, It will be spent somewhere else
In the state." The county court holds
that the expenditure la badly needed
to provide employment and that the
benefits should be securea lor loesi
workers.
"If Jackson county doesn't want the
money, there are plenty of Oregon
counties that will take It," Commit
loner John Bameburg said this
morning
.- The county court holds that the
claim that the work will "Increase
the taxes" 1st groundless, and that If
toe protested la granted. "Jackson
ounty will lose the money and the
employment, and the taxes will be
just the same."
Adjustment toon.
It la expected that the matter will
bs adjusted in a day or two, and
that Jackson county labor will get
the benefits.
. The federal money has been ap
propriated for the work, and It la
decreed that It be expended by June
L next. ,
' The text of the protesting petition
Is as follows:
"We, the underslgnee. taxrayera of
Jackson county. Oregon, pi est and
contest the contemplated change of
the Pacific highway running south
from Ashland, Oregon, tor the reason
that said change la unnecessary and
without plausible excuse In view of
the fact that the first nine miles of
the present highway In the middle
of the valley la a good all the year
highway, while the proposed., new
highway above the railroad would be
expensive to build, and would be
allppery and dangerous for travel
during the winter months; and In
Tlew of the present state Indebted
ness and the burden of the general
taxpayer audi expense Is extrava
gant and unjustified, especially since
uoh change will Injure and discom
mode practically all the residents of
that vicinity and will mainly bene
fit the tourist traffic only.
"We are not unmindful of the fact
ttiat the funds for this construction
are derived directly from the sale
of state bonds which ate paid from
motor licenses and gas tax, but so
long aa the commission unceasingly
calls for these revenues for new con
struction and repair, the law making
power will refrain- from diverting
any part of this revenue for other
purposes and the general taxpayer
will go unrelieved and unredressed."

Rolling and packaging are important,

That'sv.hywe keep telling you about

They're fine, mild, and pure tobaccos.
Te tell you about ageing and curing
the tobaccos . . . about blending and

are things that count.
Chesterfields are milder. They ta.-le
better. Trove it for yourself ...Just
