The state commissioner Of motor
vehicles for the state OF New Jersey
is evolving a deep laid scheme 10 con-
troll and check the foreign" motorist
who dares TO tour In the state for a
period exceeding fifteen days, and to
achieve his end he has enlisted the
services Of the garage proprietors and
automobile dealers throughout the
state. Ii is possible that these sug-
gested services may not be very will
ingly rendered as they involve moth
ing less than a carefully kept record
of all cars from other states which
may pass through their hands. These
records are u be available for instant
inspection by the commissioner :

he remains over the fifteen day limit
and neglects To take out a New Jersey
license. will be promptly fined $500

scheme To become law at an early date

ANOTHER GREAT STRIDE.

sTHE completion of the big railroad
bridge, which carried its first
train across the river from West
Salem and into Salem yesterday,
marks another Of those long strides
which Salem Is taking along the broad
highway leading to her future great
ness. Though but few people knew
the bridge was to be opened yester-
day, the first intimatlon of 1t being
given in yesterdays Capital Journal
but half an hour before the time
scheduled for the event, there was a
goodly crowd present to witness it,
and to welcome the completion of the
link that connects us for all time with
the rich section on the west side, the
fat farming lands of Polk and Benton,
and the immense timber belt stretch
ing in an unbroken body from Falls
City to Tillamook 1t is indeed a
notable event, and one which will
prove Of immense benefit to all, Sa-
lem will, with these improved rail
connections, get fine trade from the
West Side, and that rich section will
find here handy market for a large
share of its produce. Besides the i'm
mediate benefits there are others that
will necessarily follow, and the most
important of these is the cutting up
OF the large holdings, the making OF
three or four farms out Of one, and
the clearing up and cultivation of
thousands Of acres now lying idle,
There is, perhaps, no country In the
world so rich and so long settled as
the willamette valley that can show
so great an area of untitled land. The
improved railroad facilities and ever
increasing demand for land will soon
change all this.
Another feature Of the opening oI
this through traffic" Is that the road
now terminating at Black Rock will
soon be,of necessity pushed on to the
coast, probably to Tillamook, and the
vast body of timber now standing OH
the rolling hills ripe for the AK, will
eventually find It's way to the mar

1T IS UP TO THE LEGISLATURE.

THB members of the present legis-
lature, or, at least, the manipula-
tors Of the steam roller, have been
delving into ancient history, and have
made the startling discovery that the
makers of the Oregon constitution
really intended that the legislature
should have the right to act upon any
veto made by the governor at the
same session of the legislature in
which the vetoed bill was passed. That
is the reason they give for adjourn
ing over until next Tuesday, so they
could act upon any bills vetoed by the
governor, and so carry out the real
simon-pure intention of the makers
of the constitution. How they reached
this sapient conclusion Is one of those
things beyond all discovery The con-
stltutlon fixed the legislative session
at 40 days, and 1t gave the governor
/ five days in which to sign or veto
bills received by him. Clearly there
was no intention that the legislature
should adjourn and come back, for II
there had been, that provision would
have been made in the constitution.
The wish was no doubt father to the
thought and the legislature is clearly
within its rights to adjourn and come
back, not once, but a dozen times, II
It cares to do so, and pays the bills
itself, but to say that the constitution
intended this is the height of Stiffness
A calm and unbiased view Of the
matter would lead to the inference
that those who made the constitution
said what they meant, and meant what
they said, 1t is fair to presume that
they thought the Legislature could
meet, transact all its important bust
ness, pass upon appropriation bills
and all that kind of matter Of general
interest, and get 1t out of the way
and up to the governor in 35 days
This would give the Legislature five
days in which to clear It's decks ant
take care of smaller and inCidenta
matters while waiting for the governor
to act upon matters Of general i'm
portance. The legislature under the
constitution has the power to pass
upon any and all the governors We
toes before adiourning, All It has t
do Is to get them into the governor
hands, say six days before the end o
/. the session, and this 1t can easily do

SHALL THE UNITED
STATES BUILD ROADS
This Is a Question that Becomes
More InSisten Daily and Refuses
to be SiGetraCked.

1t is a question which is slowly but
surely forcing itself upon the national
legislature. Many senators and rep
resentatives now believe that the
building of a system of national high
ways is of more economic importance
than any other public work-more vi
tai than the question Of large navy,
more useful than any river and har-
Dor improvement, more necessary
than the Panama Canal, For high
ways are built and owned by the peo-
pie and are free to all the people. A
few years ago road bills had short
shrift in congress-there are now
nearly a hundred bills before Con-
gress dealing with road building in
one form or another.
Although the good roads" idea has
been gathering force and headway for
many years, its advocates are still
pulling in many directions, Some
road associations want state highways
with national aid. Others want state
highways without national aid. Still
others want good roads paid for by
the counties through which they pass
without any aid. One, at least, be-
lieves firmly that the question is not
only one for states, counties, cities
and towns. but for the nation.
The National Highways association
believes that the beginning of com
prehensive good roads system for tht
nation must be made by the fedora
government
Such a system-as outlined on thu
map published here-consists Of fifty
thousand miles of national highways
It is not intended that this map shoult
represent the entire good road system
needed by. the United States. 1t Il
merely a tentative suggestion of thu
national system of national highways
from which good roads built by tn,
states, counties, and by cities ant
towns, would grow and multiply

as it may seem, the first task for the

bv rail be maintained unimpaired be-

systems of North and South America
are to be linked so as to afford un-
broken connection between New York
and Buenos AyreS.

nal to permit of the r9ssage of ocean
going vessels with their lofty masts
are ont of the question, while plan
