Ifl DEMANDING EQUAL
RQAD IMPROVEMENTS
Judge Bushey Suggests Term
Of Construction On Propos
ed Good Roads Program B
Shortened
Judge Bushey and 1he Marion coun
ty commissioners are in favor of upend
ing money for market roads, but they
insist that the money should be epeut
equitably.
In a letter addressed to T. B. Kav.
chairman of the Marion county good
roads committee, the bounty court
says: '"Our only aim and suggestion Is
to trout each and every section of the
county fairly.and not to pave one sec
tion of the county at the expense of
nnotJier. In addition to that, to see
that the county undertakes and prom
ises no more than we may reasonably
expect to perform. "
tseven Years Too Long
The letter to Mr. Kay is. in re
sponse to a request in which the coun
ty court was asked to etute its posi
tion more fully in reirard to tho nrooos-
ed plan as outlined by the good roads
committee. The letter says: "If every
tax payer would share the benefits of
tho program equally, it would not he
so bud. But there are many taxvavors
who will not only fail to participate
in tho benefit in any appreciable de
gree, .but are practically deprived from
hoping for anything in tho way of di
rect oenefitw ror a period of seven
vears an the future. '
As tho court believes that a wait of
seven years for some localities is 1oo
long, the suggestion is made thst the
period of construction be made much
shorter.
fiO Milan to Be Improved
The letter states that in addition to
the Pacific highway, paveil by the
state, the county has 100 miles of muin
traveled highway. On a basis of 13,
iMm) a mile Including roadlved, the cost
would be l,5uO,Od. As to the other
0 miles recommended bv llic good
ronds committee, the county court is of
the opinion the roads are in a hilly
country and would require an cxhobit
tant sum for reducing them to the five
per cent grade.
In reaard to these ."0 milis 'the let-
I tor says: "If these other fifty miles
were thoroughly graded up so that
tin y are well drained and if the grades
were reduced to a reasonable percent
age and if they are hard surfaced and
gravelled, they could be placed in ex
cellent condition for many years at nn
estimated expenditure of approximate
ly $JOO,(K)0,- making a total expendi
ture of about $1,700,000. "
"It appears also that by keeping
up the tax levy to a maximum and by
receiving tin h other fumis as are reas
onably certnin, which your committee
lias considered, this program may be
completed in about five years. It is of
importance that this first program be
completed at the earliest opportunity,
in order that 4he hundreds of other

By Carl D. Groat

Paris, May 2. Italian representatives
remaining in Paris were circulating re
ports today that their peaco delegates
will not return to Paris unless they are
specifically iivited by 'the other allies.
According to information from au
thoritative sources, it is doubtful that
such an iuvitation will be extended al
though some "quiet" efforts may be
made to induce the Italians to come to
Paris to participate in signing the pence
treuty with Oermanv.
Still Cite London Pact.
The claim is made by Italians here
that the part of London prevents any
pence being signed wtibout them, When
this theory was advanced duri; the
conference which prcccoe fie itahnn
withdrawal, it was pointed out that the
publication of tho pact preventing a
separate pence could be interpreted as
recognizable only so long as Germany
continued a military menace. Signing
if the armistice was held to have re
moved this menace and abrogated that
particular section of tho secret treaty.
Conferences Resumed.
Versnilles, May 2. (United Presa.1
An Italian todav participated in an of

Battleship Oregon May

Washington, May 8. (United

Oregon may be turned over to
the state of Oregon or the city
of Portland to be maintained by
Oregoniaas for exhibiting pur-
poses, Acting Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt stated today.
The Oregon and three other
Spanish-American war type bat-
tleahips are to be put out of
commission. Navy officials do
not wish to scrap the Oregon as
thev will do with the other three
vessels, because of its historie
interest. If Oregon or Portland
will apply to the navy depart-

If the rainwater in tho barrel is full

water on the place fit to drink, and if
the wife refuses to drink the water o
full of higgle tails and she leaves home
until the husband puts down a well, can

This is the legal problem put up to
Max (ieliler, district attorney. The let
ter cones from not so very fur from
Salem. She states ia her letter that
they have only the water in the barrel,
or from a well belonging to a neighbor
which is in the barnyard.. Hhe believes
both the rainwater with the wiggle tails
and the watet from the well in the barn
yard have been the cause of her rheu
matism and stomach troubles.
To test the water, she sent a sample
to the state board of health and accord
ing to the report, there was enough
bsccili in it to give the avertge per
son all sorts of rheumatism, cikus, siutn
ttch troubles and a general grouchy dis
position. In- reply the district attorney wrote:
'Beg to advise you there is no criminal
statue by which you can make him sup
port you, All you ran do is to have him
punished for failing to support you with
out just or sufficient cause.
"lour husband naturally has a legal
right to fix the family domicile and
naturally has a right to refuse iu sup
port you uiiIcbs you reside there. If,
huwever, the conditions are such that
the state board of health has declared
them seriously injurious to your houlth
as you claim, there, would be no such
obligutiou on your purt, as there is no
law thut can require you to dring three
hundred and fifty bacteria per cc, or
to drink rain water from the rain barrel
that is full of wriggles. Under no con
struction of the law could you be ex
liocted or required to live under such
conditions.
"I would suggest thut you call these
matters to your husband's attention so
that he may be fully advisi'iNn regard

In case he refuses to support you
