U.S. 99 Route Better!
When Commissioner Arthur Schaupp's vigorous
promotion of the Willamette-Dalles-California high
ways as the new inter-rejnonal highway route came
to light the other day, following a press report of a
state highway commission meeting, Oregon and Cali-
iornia commuinues uu me x avanv; iiignwav ucjou w
re-examine their position look over their hole cards,
They had felt that the selection of 99 as the important
link in this great roadway tnrougn soutnern uregon
and northern California was a foregone conclusion.
Their route had been previously chosen. There
seemed no valid reason for a change at this time.
News of the Klamath Falls commissioner's campaign
had all the effects of a buzz-bomb, here.
e e
TODAY, the Pacific Highway association and cham-
" Ders oi commerce oi communities irom ireKa wj
Portland are meeting: in this city. The purpose of this
meeting will be to place before the state highway
commission the viewpoint of Highway 99 advocates
in this issue. Full freedom will be given to states by
the public roads administration in selecting routes
for tentative designation. Recommendations will be
made by July 1st. Thus, the highway commission must
decide soon.
The commissioners will undoubtedly be guided by
the comprehensive report of Engineer Baldock com
pleted this month. They should be, for this report is
thorough, eminently fair and completely impartial.
FIRST of all, the combined Willamette and Dalles-
California highway would be slightly shorter and
the initial cost of building would be less. These facts
are conceded.
On the other hand, obvious advantages impelled
the initial five-man Presidential committee to choose
Highway 99. Let us examine them :
On the basis of interstate standards of design, the
route east of the Cascades would be only 4.8 miles
shorter than the Pacific Highway from a common
point south of Eugene to Weed, California. Thus,
the distance is not an important factor.
e e e
"THE cost of snow removal is estimated to be about
five times greater on the Klamath route than the
Pacific Highway route, with correspondingly in
creased winter driving hazards. This snow removal
cost is a long range maintenance item and should be
given serious consideration. Highway 99 is unques
tionably a safer year-round route.
e e e e
THE volume of traffic which now flows over the
99 route far exceeds that of the Klamath route.
Likewise, many more communities and thousands of
additional people are served by the Pacific Highway.
e ,e e e e
THE U. S. Forest Service estimates timber resources
amounting to 92.4 billion feet are tributary to
the Pacific Highway, contrasted with 40. billion feet
estimated to be tributary to the Klamath route. Other
basic resources in the area west of the Cascades make
the economic phase of this question even more im
pressive in favor of 99.
AS to cost of construction, it should naturally be
assumed that both highways will be improved
after the war one to interstate standards and the
other to present state standards. The total cost of both
projects, regardless of the route selected for the
inter-regional road, would be approximately the
same. Because of the probability that the government
will bear an additional share of the cost of such an
inter-regional highway, the State of Oregon will
actually benefit substantially through the selection of
Highway 99.
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
DRESENT plans call for approximately 40,000 miles
of inter-regional roads connecting major cities of
the nation, making up a system of national highways
somewhat on the plan of the Autobahnen in Germany.
It is to be assumed that national security will be a
sober consideration in the planning of this great
road system.
If this is the case, the fact that the Pacific Highway
has four road connections with the Pacific coast and
the Klamath route none, should be taken into consideration.
THE Pacific Highway association and chambers of
commerce need no further argument than the facts
contained in Mr. Baldock's report. They may well rest
their case upon this impartial comparative study.

San Francisco, April 25. A
new world, wholly different
from the old one we have known
is assembling
in the opera
house here for
the first time
to amend and

Dumb a r t o n
plan.
This Is not
Versailles with
Wilson, Lloyd
George and
Clem enceau
meeting in a
mirrored pal
ace to plan a world of parlia
mentary democracies through a
league of them. There was no
nation at the last world peace
conference which was not a
parliamentary democracy or
planning to be one. Russia was
not lrudted. Those were the ways
and days before the growth of
dictatorships, synthetic econom
ics and pressure politics
see
THIS Is a strange new world,
an Interesting one, new in
every particular, with its head
quarters significantly in a veter
ans' memorial (last war) Instead
of the lavish European palace,
its delegates from 51 nations (46
small ones), representing the
marked changes in methods,
ideals and purposes from the old
familiar world of Versailles, dif
ferent methods of elections.

ics. It is led by wholly changed
influences, by the United States
in its newly assumed character
of world leader, by Russia, the
backward colossus now swiftly
grown to its full political
strength, by Britain, weakened
economically by the war and
changed somewhat In this re
spect, but still closer politically
to Its historic character than
perhaps any of the other nations.
at least less altered in its em
pire purposes, since the last
world peace conference. The 46
smaller nations are different
also, few retaining today the full
parliamentary, capitalistic and
democratic character they had
in the old world.
see
TOU must understand this es
sentially new character of
the world if you are to under
stand its men here at this con
ference, because this is its donv
inating inspiration, the key to
everything that has happened so
far (Russia-Poland, etc.) and all
international events to come. We
are in this from now on. The old
world Is dead, gone forever.
Now behind the conference.
Itself, at the outset is a simple
and apparent Inner condition
The 46 smaller nations have
come here with amendments to
the formula worked out by the
Big Three or Big Five. Their
amendments are also nearly all
of the same basic character
They want more power for
themselves, more seats on the
council, more authority in the
assembly. '
J7GYPT, for a typical and clear
example, has drawn up ten
points not much different from
the proposals of the Latin coun
tries. These promise
collaboration" and "a spirit ef
co-operation," but suggest four
more seats for small nations on
the council to represent regions
of the world; urge that the big
nations' council should not make
important decisions "involving
the use of armed forces" with
out consulting the larger assem
blv of the smaller nations- and
allowing the veto of the council
bv three-fourths vote of the as
sembly; that the small nations
must have greater represent
tions on the economic and social
council; that the principles - of
fairness and justice known In
that vague collection of interna'
tlonal customs and precedents
known as international law be
incornorated.
. These changes are not suggest
ed in a wounded tone, but. the
Egyptian document presents
them, with this thought: "No
doubt a privileged ppsition of
the great powers is normal ana
justified by the larger responsl-
bllities they undertake in the
maintenance of peace. The ex
perlence of the League of Na
tions should enable us to avoid
the mistakes of the past, which
were due to an excessive divi
sion of responsibilities.
"But it would be a mistake to
go to the opposite extreme by
adopting a scheme of concen
trating the whole power in the
hands of a very few."
e e e
"TTOS, then, is the core of the
conference. The Big Three
have actually written their char
ter. Now come the little forty-
six, bearing pleas for greater
powers. The primary job will be
to get agreement from all on a
final formula, "without too
many amendments."
Now, the conference is not
supposed to go into the problems
of world finance, trade, borders,
cabinet complexities of leftists
and rightists, control of the
small nation or any of the real
problems of the new world, but
these lie close behind every con
sideration. How freely they will
break out remains to be seen,
but the aim of the leaders is to
hold them in the background
until the formula is assured.
It is, nevertheless, visibly ap
parent that whatever details of
a working order formula are
adopted, the ingenuity of man is
to be strained to the utmost by
future events to maintain a
peaceful and a successful world
from our (or any) standpoint.
The delegates know this. But the
controlling undertone of the
gathering at its outset is that
there must be a formula and the
light of that widely shared am
bition covers the dark corners.
