East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-04
1T WILL BRING RESULTS.

More through misunderstanding
than anything else there is much op-
position to the passage of the good
roads measures by the legislature
and there is danger the bills will lose
out in the house of representatives.
So the leaders in the good roads move
are seeking support and they ask for
the endorsement of the Pendleton
commercial association. Tonight a
special meeting of the association will
be held for the purpose Of consider
ing the measures.
In the view of the East Oregonian
the passage of the good roads meas
ures should be endorsed by the as
sociation even though other local or
ganizations are opposing the same.
The endorsement of the good roads
measures by the association will in
volve no discredit to the farmers
union. The subject is one that per-
mits of differences Of opinion.
Much opposition to the good roads
measures comes from fear that the
highway commission bill calls for a
great state highway. But no such
thing is called for by the bills be-
fore the legislature. On the contrary
the roads are to be built in the vari-
GUS counties and the country courts
have absolute say as to what roads
shall be improved. The state high
way commissioner will merely have
supervision over the work that is
done. The expense Of the work is to
be shared jointly by the county and
state, the county paying two-third:
and the state one-third.
The strongest objection to the state
g aid bill is that the expense will not
fall equitably upon the several coun.
ties. 1t is entirely true that sons
of the wealthier counties Of the state
will be required to pay what seem!
like more than their share. But or
this score Multnomah county ha'
more to complain of than has an!
other counties Multnomah will have
to furnish 100000 Of the state aic
money and no state work at all is t
be done in that county. Yet insteac

ment as Severe and unwarranted
blow at the agricultural interests OF
our country" Senator Gamble, of
South Dakota, continued in the SEN
ate the attack on the measure which
was begun by insurgent senators.
Senator Gamble declared he was a
Republican and a protectionists, but
that he felt it his duty to oppose and
vote against the reciprocity measure
as it now stood. He said he would
favor reciprocity with Canada that
was based on justice and equal treat
ment to all interests.
THE measure proposed" said Sen
ator Gamble, is unjust, unfair, UNI
republican and is in violation of the
declared and settled policy of the
party for more than 9 generation. 1t
means to me a serious blow to the
American farmer which places him in
unequal and unfair competition with
his Canadian rival without any fair
or just compensation.
Il cannot persuade myself that in
any sense this agreement follows the
rule of our party faith in the policy
of either protection or reciprocity. AS
far as | am concerned | cannot vote
for its enactment or it's ratification.
Had it been proposed by the opposition
I could readily appreciate that it is in
line somewhat with their sympathy
and their policy"
Senator Gamble pointed out that
the measure had been passed both
times in the house of representatives
with majority Of the Republicans
against it.
Referring to President Taft and his
participation in the matter Senator
Gamble expressed confidence in the
wisdom, character, patriotism and I'M
selfish devotion to the public of the
president Of the United Statesn
The bill was referred to as a revi-
sion of the tariff so far as the farm
ers' products were concerned without
any equivalent reduction of duty on
the things he is compelled to buy.

Stephenson Investigation.

Washington. July 1.--Another sena-
torial investigation question was
placed before the senate committee on
elections when the full certified rec
ords of the legislative investigation of
the election of United States Senator
Stephenson, of Wisconsin, were re-
ceived by the vice-president, laid be-
fore the senate and referred to the
committee.
The reference was on the sugges-
ton Of Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, a
member of the committee.
The investigation first was made by
a joint committee of the Wisconsin
legislature, which found no direct vio-
lation of law, and subsequently, by a
special committee Of the Wisconsin
senate which, in it's report, made a
variety of charges in connection with
Senator Stephenson's election.

from the standpoint not only of it's

was not properly drawn as tariff

If passed in its present form, Sen

ALPINE LAKES VANISHING
Same Drying Up Process 10 to Be
Noted In Many Other Mountain
ous Regions.

The gradual drying up of mountain
lakes In arid regions like parts of the
Rocky mountains, western Siberia and
Turkestan is accompanied, the latest
statistics say. by the disappearance OF
numbers Of the smaller Alpine lakes
or their shrinkage in size to mere
ponds. Within a hundred years the
number Of Alpine lakes has dwindled
from 3,27S to 2,466.
The same drying up process Is no
ticed In other mountainous regions of
medium elevation and normal rainfall
such as the Reisengsbirge on the Aus
tro-German frontier and the Austrian
Tstra- Not fewer than 118 lakes In
the Tyrolese Alps alone have com
pletely vanished and even in the lower
Bayarian and Thurtagian hills there
are fewer lakes now than a generation
ago.
There are various theories concern
Ing this drying up process; the con-
slant erosion Of the beds Of mountain
streams and the percolation Of water
into subterranean channels are the
most generally accepted explanations.
Vegetation on the lake bottom is re-
sponsible In many cases for the dry
Ing up of the lower lying meres.
