SECTOR WIDENING
Uncertainty Of Future Fi
nance Account Cry For
Cut In Auto License Given
As. Reason For Action.
Following four hours of discussion
here yesterday afternoon between
Leslie M. Scott of Portland, chair-
map of the state highway commis
sion, citizens of Medford and Ash
land and the county court, agree
ment was reached to abandon the
proposed $2,000,000 Pacific highway
rerouting project In the Siskiyou
mountain because of uncertainty in
the state's road finance condition.
An alternative project offered at
the meeting, which was presided over
by C. E. Oates, calls for rerouting
of a portion of the Pacific highway
Just north of Ashland and widening
the entire roadway between Ashland
and Talent to conform to tht portion
already widened south of Medford.
The alternative project would call
for expenditure of approximately
$100,000 now and would be finished
next year with a total coat of slight
ly over (220.000.
Would Cut Out Curve
The proposed Ashland-Talent Im
provement would take the highway
under the Southern Paclflo tracks
near the present underpass but at an
angle, and the route would follow
the former road for some distance,
rejoining the present highway about
one-eighth of a mile north of Jack
son Hot Springs, and doing away
with several curves and objection.
able section of road. The changed
roadway would be the same width
as now prevail between Medford and
Talent and the paving north of the
rerouted section would also be
brought up to that standard.
In discarding the Siskiyou rerout
ing project It was brought out that,
with the vehement demands for low
ered automobile license fees and cur
talnment of expenditures, It 1 un
likely that sufficient money will be
available after the $176,000 federal
funds, now available, have been
spent, to complete the work. It
would be necessary for the state to
match dollars with the government
on a 60-40 basis, the government fur
nishing $60 to 840 by the state, after
the (1751000 had been exhausted,
and if the state were unable to meet
It share the project would be left
Incomplete with no assurance for fu
ture financing.
Will Aid Labor Conditions
The Ashland-Talent protect, bids
for which will be opened at the Jan

mission, together with the $80,000
Medford-Central Point project, con
tract for which has already been let,
will relieve the labor situation In

At the start of the game the visit
ors showed their superior strength
by breaking through, the Louisiana
line while Louisiana, was unable to
dent the Oregon wall and confined
Its efforts In the main in end runs
and forward passes.
Each Oregon touchdown was set
up by a forward pass and completed
by a series of line plunges with
Mlkulak, Kostka and Temple slam
ming the line and going through
the holes laid open by the powerful
linemen.
Oregon made Its first touchdown
from a 30-yard pass. Temple to Gee,
which put the ball on Louisiana's
18-yard line. Four line crashes by
Mlkulak took the ball over the goal
line but Morgan missed the place
kick. The second touchdown was
set up from a pass but It was some
thing of a fluke. The officials ruled

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal.,Dec.
16. Somebody will finnlly find
a way to run this government
yet. An old boy waa on the
right track the other day. Ho
come into the congressional
gallery waving a gun and said:
"I am for America. All not
with mo better take to ths
brush, for I am going to take a
shot at 'em."
Well, the place was clear in
a jiffy. Not a member left.
Now they got a sign In the vis
itors' gnllcry, "Don't shoot
jour congressman without first
getting a license."
England never stood higher
in American opinion than to
day. That was the cheapest
hiimlrcd million they ever spent
and they will gain in the end
by it. Yours,
