East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-02-20

Salem. Ore, Feb. 20.-Assurance
that the governor will not interfere
with a slightly amended form of the
Barrett-Hurd bill is practically given
in message sent into the senate rel
ative to good roads legislation and
that bill, but assurance is also given
that he will not approve it in its pres
ent form.
He objects to section "a, which is
the substitute for the Kellaher am
endment to the bill The Kellaher
amendment would provide for pre-
venting a monopoly bid on any indi-
vidual class of pavement according to
the construction of its promoters,
while others believe that a construc-
tion may be placed on it that it would
shut out patented pavements altogeth-
er.
The governor does not openly insist
in his message that the Kellaher am
endment be inserted, but intimates
that he would prefer that procedure.
On the other hand, he holds out the
inference that an elimination of sec
ton "a, as it now stands, also would
probably cause him to approve the
bill.
Senate to Consider Bill.
The present amendment, he says,
would be ''pie for the paving trust"
The senate has decided to take up
the bill as a special order for 10 a.
m. tomorrow.

Il wish to call your attention to

rants by counties for the purpose of

Those who were desirous of prevent
ing the paving trust from becoming
perniciously active in securing con-
tracts for county work wished to have
section "a of the bill read as follows;

House Passes Mill Making Registra-
ton COMPULSORY and Permanent.


Salem, Or, Feb. 20.-Permanent
and compulsory registration of all
voters and other very important
changes in the Oregon registration
laws are embodied in a measure ap-
proved by the house.
Gill of Clackamas, author of the

systems; certificates of registration
for electors, which entitle them to
vote at general elections outside their
precincts; that registration books
shall be open at all times except 30
days before a regular election and
Is days before a special election.
AS long as a voter lives In the same
precinct his registration will be per-
manent If this bill becomes law.
Registrars of precinct registration
and county clerks, however, are re-
quired to report all voters dying,
moving out OF the precinct or falling
to vote for two years. Registrations
OF such persons are to be Cancelled.

out and the following substituted:
Amendment Is Opposed.
Section "a. 1t shall be the duty
of every state officer or board, and
of every county officer, county court
or board, in advertising for bids and
before awarding contracts for the
construction or Improvement of any
road or highway under this act, to
encourage and require the submission
of plans and specifications on the
part of bidders for road work to in
vite fre and open competition, in the
submission of said plans, specifications
and bids, to the end that the best
possible character of road construc
ton consistent with the needs of the
particular community interested shall
be secured
you will note that this section
states that it shall be duty of every
state and county official in advertis-
ing for bids or awarding contracts for
the construction or improvement of
any public road to require the sub
mission of plans and specifications
on the part of all bidders. The law
does not require or permit it's plans
and specifications to bidders, but
makes it the duty of the court to call
upon each bidder to submit his prop
osition and decide between them.
"a blind man could see that such
an arrangement would be pie for the
paving trust and that the small con-
tractor would stand about as much
chance of securing road contract as
he would a paving contract in the city
of Portland.
Veto Is Intimated.
"In view of this hope your honor
able body will see your way lear to
restore section "a as it was originally
introduced or at least strike out the
section as it now stands.
81 am calling this matter to your
attention at this time as the session is
drawing to a close and should the
bill come to me in it's present form /
would feel it my duty to return 1t
without my approval.
"An earnest desire for road leg
islation and the hope that we may get
together on some measure that will
at least give us a start in permanent

SELECTING THE SEED BETS
Greatest Care Must Be Exercised In
Picking Out Only Perfect and
Typical Type Of Plants.

The all important thing in beet
growing is good seed. In selecting
mother beets-that is, beets from
which seed is to be grown-the great
est care must be taken to pick out
only perfect and typical types. They
must conform to many requirements
They must not. be too large or the
sugar contents will be too low. They
must not be too small, since small
beets are not profitable.
It must not have divided tap root
or large side roots since the richest
part of the beet is in the lower part
Of the root. 1t follows that a mother
beet must not be slim with long,
slowly tapering root that grows deep
ly into the ground, as such roots are
sure to break in harvesting, leaving
the best part below ground
The beets must grow entirely be-
low ground, as the part that grows
above must be cut off and wasted in
topping.
