A WORD WITH YOU, Mr.. HIGH
WAY COMMISSIONER

Something like two years ago the
Tacoma Bridge Company took the con-
tract for grading and matchmaking
some three miles of road from River
ton, King County, south, at price
of $4,000. They have now kept the
highway practically impossible for
that time. The work is not nearly
half done For weeks last winter and
spring they kept the bridge at River
ton torn up so that dozens of farmers
were compelled to unload, carry across
the stringers, then drive around some
four miles and load again and drive
into Seattle-a wholly useless if not
spiteful and malicious proceeding.
Even now, there are no notices of the
impossible condition of the road and
the editor of this paper ran his auto
into a mudhole, broke the car and was
laid up for eight or ten hours as a
result. The accident and the need
lessness of it was seen and vouched
for by two reputable citizenship. A.
B. Barnes and Mr.. L. d. Bacon.
Now, Mr.. Commissioner these peo-
pie have been delaying and obstruct-
ing traffic at least fourteen months
longer than there is the slightest need.
They employ only 80 to so men, when
800 to 500 could easily work. 1t would
seem that you are the proper person
to put a period to this intolerable con-
dition of affairs and force this alb
surdly dilatory corporation to "play

NATIONAL HIGHWAY COMMISSION
A Bill Now Pending in Congress.

At the suggestion of the legislative
committee of the National Grange Con-
gresham Frank D. Currier on jan
uary 80, 1908, introduced House Roll
1887, which embodies the principle
of creating a national highway COM
mission and of federal aid for public
road improvement. 1t is as follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled That this act shall include with
in it's provisions any and all public
highways within the territory of the
United States which, in the judgment
of the commission hereinafter created
and constituted, might be constructed,
improved or maintained to promote
interstate commerce and trade and the
postal service of the United States.
Section g. That a commission is
hereby created to be called the Ma
tional Highways Commission to con-
sist of three commissioners. The
President of the United States shall,
by and with the advice and consent
of the senate, appoint three commits
sioners, who shall have a practical
knowledge of road building and con-
struction. Any vacancy which may
occur in the commission shall in like
manner be filled by the President;
and he shall designate one OF the
commissioners to be president OF the
commission. Each of the commission
ers appointed shall receive as pay and
compensation for his services $4,000
per annum. The commissioners shall
remain in office subject to removal by
the President for inefficiency, neglect
of duty or malfeasance in office.
Sec. 3. That it shall be the duty OF
said commission to take into cons1d-
Grafton, formulate and adopt such plan
or plans for the improvement, con-
struction and maintenance Of such
public highways, the Improvement,
construction and maintenance OF
which shall, in the judgment OF the
commission, acting in cooperation and
consultation as far as possible with
the duly constituted authorities hav-
ing charge of the construction and
improvement of public highways OF the
several states, promote and facilitate
interstate commerce and trade and
the postal service. The said commits
sion may, prior to the completion OF
all plans and surveys contemplated by
this act, proceed to such immediate
work as in the judgment of said COM
mission may constitute part of the
general system of works herein con-
templated.
Sec. 4. That 1t shall be the duty OF
said commission to superintend and
direct such works as are herein con-
templated, and to carry into full exc
cution such plan or plans for the con-
struction, maintenance and improve
ment of public highways as may be
devised and adopted by the commits
sion as herein contemplated, and to

Wisconsin will vote on an amend
ment to the state constitution that will
permit granting state aid to the con-
struction of highways.

ball. Other contractors in the imme-
date neighborhood have completed
their work in one-fourth the proper
Tomato time this firm has taken to
dawdle and almost get ready to do
business.
WHY are they not compelled to en-
ploy of the many hundreds of men and
teams ready and willing to work?
There must be reason for their
shameful neglect. What is it?
The board of county commissioners,
granting the petition of the directors
of the Snohomish County Good Roads
Association, adopted a resolution
which provides for submitting to the
voters at the November election the
proposition authorizing the issue of
100000 in bonds. 1t is proposed that
the sum shall be expended under di
rection of expert road builders in con-
struction of trunk line in a general
northerly and southerly direction
through the county, with branches to
the principal towns and settlements.
The system will be about 100 miles
long.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01


Over-rule the knockers sure.
That's the only way to grow
Excellent good judgment show.
Fight to have the bonds go through!
Offer all the help that you
Reasonably can pause to do.
Get your neighbor to the polls;
Omit no one on the rolls.
Only weakened voters stay
bidding round at home today.
Rush the bonds; we want 'em quick!
Only the knockers pause to kick.
Active, earnest workers will
Do their best, nor pause until
Sure success the day doth fill
