Program to Expend
Fifteen Million On Self
Liquidating Construction
By Clayton V. Bernliard
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
PORTLAND, AprU 19. VP) First
official stepa looXIna; to the launch
ing uf a road and bridge construction
program in the state roughly esti
mate in excess of S15.0OO.000 were
taken at the meeting of the atate
highway commission here this morn
ing. District of the atate. countlca
and organizations presented plana for
this program seeking the aupport and
apprcral of the commission, which
was granted In varying degrees.
Preliminary plans will be furthered
at tis meeting this afternoon as well
as at the session of the state-wido
reconstruction finance corporation
committee with Governor Julius L.
Meier today. The committee was
naml recently by the governor as
advisory on requests for self-liquidating
loans from the federal corpora
tion. Loans to Finance
The program started today would
be financed by loans If the several
"lis" are overcome and these projects
qualify under the reconstruction fi
nance corporation provisions. The
"Mis" include several state obstacles
and several federal, all of which how
ever are pending and not improbable,
sponsors of the program declared.
Flvs brldgea on the Oregon coast
highway at. an estimated cost of 3,
400.000, the Wolf creek and Wilson
river roads at an estimated 8.500.000.

the projects for which support will
be urged from the federal govern
ment. ... .
All thesfl projects would be repaid
through tolls, according to the plans
presented, thus relieving the state as
a whole 'from financing thein and at
the snme time launching nn Oregon
development program. Unemploy
ment relief, return of lands to tax
rolls and needed outlets for products
touM result if these loans can be
mado. groups told the commission.
Fine Bridges Planned
Th. Oregon coast highway associa
tion was the first to appear before
the commission in behalf of con
structing five bridges along that
route, at all of which the state now
Is o;,erat!ng ferries. These would be
Coos Bay. Reedsport. Florence, Wald
port and Newport.
Representatives K. W. Miller, Grants
Pass, and Earl Hill of Cushman and
Merle Chessman. Astoria and Henry
Kern North Bend, presented plans
and requested the commission to
sanction and support their request
from the federal government. The
stat should the loans be secured,
would supervise construction and let
contract.
Following a discussion as to sav
ing tc the state the mommlssion au
thorized survey completion and loan
ing Its legal and engineering depart
ment in furthering plans. R. H. Bal
dock. state highway engineer, stated
that maintenance and toll collections
on these projects would cost about
100 000 annually, which would be
much leas than ferry operation now
costs.
TolU to Pay Loan
A 2i cent toll on each bridge would
amortize this loan In 20 years, figures
presented by the association showed.
Senator B. L. Eddy of Rowburg
made an urgent plea for support In
"curing funds for the south Santlam.
Willamette and North Umpqua routes,
while representative from Klamath
county stated that section would sup
port a similar toll soheme for the
Weed-Klamath Falls highway.
Declsrlng that these roads are
needed for public development. Eddy
said "we don't want California to
grab the lions share of this money
and Oregon be set back. Any preju
dice against toll roads now should
not stand In the way of public im
provement. The federal government
owe It to the state to place much of
the land back on the tax rolls after
grabbing so much years ago aa for
ts reserves."
While separate conferences were
held prior to the commission meet
ing, the proposal for the Wolf creek
and wison outes on the same basis
fom Portend to the sea had not been
presented by noon, but the proposals
were expected later In the day. All
proposals will also be heard by the
governor and his committee later.

T
WAITS TAX PAYING
The Medford school district will not
elect teachers for the next term of
school until some time in May, E. H
Hedrlck, superintendent of schools-
announced when interviewed today.
The delay has been necessitated by
alow payment of money available be
fore naming the teaching staff for
the new year.
The first half of the year's taxes
should be in next montb and there l
nothing to be gained by electing
teachers before the money is in.
"There will undoubtedly be more
cuts In salaries than contemplated
last year," Superintendent Hedrlck
stated when questioned, but gave no
hint of the percentage. "Cuts will
not be confined to salaries, but will
most likely extend to departments
and the services and functions the
school Is rendering," Mr. Hedrlck also
stated. ,
Teachers for the next year are
usually elected by the Medford board

The September delivery, which had

Effort to Have Ex-Premier
Herriot in United States
for Roosevelt-MacDonald
Conference Hits Snag
(Copyrighted by McClure Newspaper

By Paul Million
WAoH r NGTON, April 19. The first
Inside skirmish with the French gave
.Mr. Roosevelt food for thought. It
showed clearly what he la up again t
In these impending te-te-a-tetes with
European statesmen.
His major private purpose was to
keep Herrlott out of town until he
got through with MaoDonald. He fig
ured five day would be enough with
the British premier. The Frenchman
was diplomatically persuaded to sail
on the He de France Wednesday. That
was perfect for us but the French did
not like It. They do not want to lose
their liaison with England by deal
ing with us separately.
So what do thev do but get the
French line to move up the sailing
date oi the lie de France by two days.
That would put Herriot here two days
before MaoDonald departs. .
That Is all very clear. But like some
things the French do, it Is too clever.
Our officials sre keeping- mum but
they well know the French govern
ment controls French steamship
lines They know also that ex-Premter
Herriot did all that diplomatic law
allow to get in on the MaoDonald
conference.
A widespread huddle of state de
partment experts was called. They
figured out a Notre Dame ahlft to
meot the French maneuver. It will be
a nice little surprise for Mr. Herriot.
I When MacDonald arrives he will go
straight to the White House. He will
be a guest there throughout his stay.
When Herriot arrives he will NOT go
to the- White House. Instead he will
toss on the pillows of the French em
bassy for two days wondering what
Messrs Roosevelt and . MaoDonald are
doing.
Ordinarily such strategy might be
considered too raw for high grade dlp-toma-y
but there is a neat excuse for
Its use now. . . ,

that bothers most of the world
that we are at least free from,
and that is a newspaper press
that is not free. . 1
Everybody wants to know if
the Englishmen in Russia are
Kiiilty or framed. Everybody
would love to know the very
facts of what is going on in
Germany, but over here you
can write whatever you want
to. The only trouble is getting
somebody that will rend it.
Yours, .
