BUILDING GOOD ROADS.

Now that the constitution of the
state has been amended, allowing
counties to bond for road improve
ments, it may be assumed that in
terest in better country highways
will be greater thar ever before in
Oregon. Already there is talk of
taking advantage Of the provisions
OF the law in Lane county at an ear
ly date.
On this subject Of road building,
the views Of Samuel Hill, president
OF the Washington Good Roads As
ISOLATION, is entitled to considera-
ton. He believes there are few OBJ
jections to good roads which are not
founded upon ignorance of the work
being done, and is Of the opinion
that when the people Of the state of
Washington as a whole fully under
stand the question ofgood roads they
will want them simply because they
will realize that it is to their person.
al interest to have them.
There is no question Of the truth
OF Mr.. HIPS contention. The road
"
laws OF the state are imperfectly UNI
derstood. Although the state aid
road law might be improved by an
endment, it is in the main "a meas
ure well designed for the improve
ment of highways of the state.
Moreover, it is a MEASURE which par
ticularly works for the establishment
of good roads at the minimum ex-
pense to the farmer.
How many people," asks Mr..
Hill, know that state-aid roads.
where the county pays half and the
state pays half, are built largely at
he expense Of the municipalities and
: ities Out Of every 500 spent on
these roads s51 .92 is raid by taxes
Of those living in towns, yet not one
dollar of this sun can be spent with
in the corporate limits of the city.
When the farmers come to under
stand that this is an actual gift made
to them by the people Of the city
they will to a man, l believe, favor
state aid"
The best argument for good roads
in fact is to let the people see good
roads and use them. 1t is invariably
true that those who are most enthu-
siastic over good roads are those who,
like Mr.. Hill, know most about
them. Every good road, as a natu.
raj consequence, creates its diciples

When the call of the roll was com

on the pending question. Agreeing to
set aside their pair, they both voted
against the resolution, and in doing so
they carried the day for the opponents
of the measure. The vote stood 139 to

White House Denies It.

Washington.-Oscar Lawler, assist
ant attorney general for the interior
department, of which Richard A. Bal
linger is the head, did in fact prepare
q draft of a letter addressed to Secre-
tary Ballinger an in such form and
phase that it might have been adopted
verbatim and signed by the president
as Mr.. Taft's eXoneration of the sec
rotary from the charges of l.. r. CLAWS

agent of the interior department.
These things became clear in the de-
development in connection with the
they o~ccasiOned a great sensation IN
Washington, where almost every man
and woman is either a Ballinger or a
Pinchot, partisan.
The thing came to a head Saturday
afternoon in the publication Of a state
ment attributed to Frederick NJ. Kerby.
one of the stenographers in the office
of Secretary Ballinger, in which
Kerby related at length the circum-
stances under which he alleged the
Lawler draft to have been prepared.
KERRY asserts further that all the pre-
liminary drafts used in the prepare
ton Of the letter were burned in a
CRATE at the suggestion and under the
supervision of Don M. Carr, Mr.. Bal

The publication of the Kerby state

statement declaring there was "absO-
lutely no foundation" for the statement
"that the presidents letter of Septem-
Der IS, 1909, was substantially pre-
pared for the presidents signature by

president dictated his letter PERSONAL
ly, as the result of his own investiga
ton.
