FOREST SERVICE TO
PROMOTE GOOD ROADS
BAKER AND GRANT COUNTIES
TO GET EXPENDITURE
OF S23OO.

The forest service is to spend $4,000
for roads during the coming summer
in Baker and Grant counties. within
the Whitman national forest.
The service plans to open a new
and shorter road across the noun
tains between the Sumpter and Low
er John Day valleys. distance OF
approximately so miles. The new
route Is by way of the Town Of Gran
ite ana the Red Boy Mine. to Olive
Lake; then around Desolation Butte
to Dale, on the North Fork Of. the
John Day river, where 1t connects
with the county road to Ukiah, Pilot
Rock and Pendleton, as well as the
read to Ritter and all the lower John
Day valley country. 1t is planned to
construct the road on grade not to
exceed IL per cent which will mean
many changes in the old road, where
grades as high as 2S per cent are now
found.
Existing roads are to be used where
possible, but II is necessary to build
Is miles of entirely new road. from
Olive Lake to the old Battle Creek
Road on Desolation Creek. The for
est service constructed eight miles
of this road last fall at a cost OF
$1,000. 1t is planned to finish it as
soon as weather permits in the spring.
For couple of miles or more the
road winds around the side of Des-
olation Butte, at an elebation OF s.
t1yhf aI I'm a
tire Blue mountain range may be
seen. Even Mt. Hood is visible on a
clear day. Scenically 1t is thought
that this part of the route will COM
pare favorably with any other in east
ern oregon.
The older portions of the road are
to be repaired and the grade lowered
as fast as money becomes available.
The old stage road between Sumpter
and Granite will be the first section
to receive attention. Last fall the
citizens of the two towns pledged ST.
500 toward repairing and relocating
this road on a grade not to exceed
10 per cent. and the Baker county
court placed its stamp of approval
on the project by pledging $500
more. This road is chiefly on the
whitman national forest and through
the efforts of the supervisor of the
forest service has added $500 to the
$4,000 always available. The new
right OF way has already been sur
veyed and partially cleared. The
work will be taken up again in the
spring as soon as weather permits.
A few years ago congress passed a
law providing that 10 per cent Of the
total receipts from national forests
should be available for the building
of roads and trails within the states
In which the forests are located. Thi'
law has already enabled the building

COTTON MILL OWNERS
R0UNDLY DENOUNCED
SOUTHERNER AT CONFERENCE
SCORES EMPLOYERS OF
CHILDREN.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 49,
A scathing denunciation by a fellow
southerner of southern manufacturers
ton OF today's sessions of the tenth
annual National Child Labor Confer
ence here. Wiley H. Swift of Green's
boro, n. c., taking for his theme,
why 1t Is Hard to Get Child Labor
Laws in the South" declared that
"as successors to the civilization OF
so years ago, we feel that there is
a difference in children. that the poor
child was born to toll and should be
set at it early" Explaining that he
referred especially to North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi in saying the south
is far below the standard in it's child
labor laws the speaker said:
"Out people have always been
kind and charitable but they have
never been just The children of the
poor have been allowed to work be-
cause We have known or thought lit
tie of absolute human rights. Fur
thermore we do not properly under
stand the laws of community progress
or know just what we are doing. We
have no reliable data because there
has been no investigation, or until
recently We have resented any sug-
gestion that we needed to learn. We
of the south have been peculiarly jeal-
Gus of our reputation and have in
many cases hid our eyes lest we see
things that were not good. Walter
Pages speech on 1.-THE Forgotten
Man. was bold. When DR.. Stiles
said we had hookworm, the lie was
all but passed. But the signs are
hopeful. Our educational forces are
now hunting for the forgotten man
and as result of the investigation
carried on through Rockefeller In
stitute, hook-worm is almost as FASH
ionable as appendicitis.
up to this time We have allowed
ourselves to be deluded because our
manufacturers have said things were
all right, and We have respect for
men of influence and wealth. If we
have cried out against the bad rich,
1t has been because in our opinions
most of the bad rich live next to Wall
street and certainly north Of the Ma
son-Dixon line. To appoint an in
spector for our mill villages would
be a reflection upon the word and
character of good men. But above
all, the reason child labor continues
is that the manufacturer wants the
child in his mill. Since this manu-
facturer considers child labor of such
vital Importance that he is willing
to go to the legislature to fight TO,
the right to work child, you need
not be surprised that we still permit
large percentage Of our children to
be taken from school and pIaced n,

the cotton mills, week in and week
out, hundreds of girls in short dress
es may be found standing eleven
hours
Professor Frank NJ. Leavitt, presi-
dent of the National Vocational Guid-
ance Association, Chicago University,
speaking today on Cooperation OF
the Schools in Reducing Child Labor"
scored the present day school system
as contributing both to child labor
and child idleness." Hordes Of chill
dren leave school, he said, because
of its "uncongenial and unsympathet-
ic atmosphere and because 1t lacks
any important relation to the child's
social and economic environment" A
somewhat opposite view was held on
the same subject by Edw. N. Chopper,
Phi. D., who declared that the chill
dren and their parents were in the
main responsible for their leaving
schools. Prof. Chopper said there is
danger of jumping from the aca-
demic extreme to the vocational ex-
treme."

On Sundays you can't buy a dish OF
ice cream; everything is closed ex-

confessed. but we, the citizens, do
not need so many. We use them to

THE SUBSIDY" EXCUSE TOO THIN.

No congressman who votes for the free tolls

free canal tolls means subsidy. That's the thnnest
disguise that unfaithful man in Congress as
sumo If free tolls in the Panama canal which diff
fers in no respect whatever from other American
canals, is subsidy then the government has been pay
ing subsidies for a hundred years, for in all other
American canals there no tolls. In the great
Saut Ste. Marie canal which carries more coaswise
commerce than can ever go through the Panama
canal, navigation is free.
The who puts up the plea of subsidies is
not much better than common trickster and he
deceives only himself Nobody with enough intelli-
