The Oregonian, can't Oregon
build and lease n great central
state road and let every great
transcontinental railway in AM

Several reasons. First. the peo-

the route or on the terminus.
Second, the state couldn't get
the money. Third. II il could
get the money, both the state
and the road would go bankrupt
Fourth. the transcontinental rail-

they would run" the Legisla-
ture, make their own terms and
control politics Of the state.
