GOOD ROADS ADVOCATES ASK
SUPPORT Of COMMERCIAL CLUB

For the purpose of discussing the
good roads bills now before the legis-
lature with a view to making recon-
mendations to the Umatilla delegation
regarding the same a special meeting
of the Commercial association will be
held tomorrow, Saturday, evening. 1t
is expected that Senator Burgess and
perhaps other members of the UNA
tila legislative delegation will be in
attendance.
The call for the special meeting was
issued today by President w. L.
Thompson in response to urgent pleas
that the Commercial body go upon
record with reference to the good
roads measures.
C. S. Jackson and other prominent
Portland people who are working
earnestly for the good roads measures
complain that the nature of the roat
bills and the motives of the state goot
roads men are entirely misunderstood
They point out that the move for bet
ter highways is not a selfish move a
jail on the part Of Portlanders. o.
'the contrary It is a move from whicl
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-03

Multnomah county itself will gain no
direct benefit at all. The move is
for the general benefit of the state
and Portland will be required to meet
a heavy portion of the expense. One
third the money proposed as state
aid. or about 100000 will be raised
from taxation Of Portland property.
Yet Multnomah county itself will not
take advantage of the opportunity to
get state aid for any roads in that
county.
Attention has also been called to
the general misconception regarding
a mythical state highway from the
Washington to the California line.
Many people are opposing the present
good roads propaganda fearing that
the highway commission bill calls for
such n highway. On the contrary
there is no measure before the legis-
lature calling for any such scheme
The state highway commission bill
specifies that the roads to be bull
shall be built In the various countie:
and the roads to be improved shall
be designated by the county courts

one prepared by Senator Bowerman
and the other by the state admins
tration, each relating to the state pur-
chasing board came before the sem
ate as a special order at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. While some of
the members are urging consideration
Of the rival bills on their merits with
out respect to their origin, the fact
that one bill Is approved by Governor
West and Treasurer Kay. while the
other is promoted by Bowerman,
seems destined to play an important
part in the debate.
The measures came out Of the re-
vision of laws committee this morn
ing with two reports. Calkins. Oliver,
Dimick and Joseph reported in favor
of the administration bill introduced
by Calklns and Bean, while Abraham
and Carson stand for the Bowerman
bill.
Statements of the opposing argu-
ments were made by Abraham and
Calkins. Bowerman wanted the dis
cussion carried over until this after
noon, for which time It was made a
special order, following the debate
over Kellaher's speech to which the
stalwarts are obJecting.
The Bowerman bill provides fol
five experts to advise with the state
board in testing and passing upor
samples of goods offered for sale t.
the state, and works out detailed
system Of numbering bids to concea
the names of bidders, theoretically, a
least. Then 1t provides for com
missary officer and commissar,
building at Salem where such supple
are to be kept and doled out as need
