OPEN FORUM.

Editor Capital Journal:-Hard-sur--
faced roads are not necessarily perma-
nent roads, as local boosters would
have us believe.
Unless the grade is well established,
surface drainage thorough, concrete
base at least eight inches thick and
surfacing of durable material carefully
laid, the road is doomed to go to pieces
early.
1t requires money, and plenty of
money, as well as skillful, painstaking
construction, to build a hard surface
road that will endure the wear of traf-
fic.
If Marion county can afford to
spend from $4,000 to 100000 per
mile for such roads let us go at it. If
we cannot afford such an outlay, then
let us continue to build good gravel
roads and be content.
We should profit by the experience
of California in our road construction.
Local boosters nave been trying to
shame us into voting for the proposed
road bonds by pointing to the perma.
nent highways California is building.
But Sam Hill, the apostle of good
roads in these northwestern states, tells
us quite a different tale.
A few weeks ago he returned to Port.
land from trip of inspection over Calf
fornia hard-surface roads. In an in.
terView, published in the Portland
Semi Weekly Journal, a rabid "good-
roads newspaper, this same Sam Hill
says:
81 never saw in the same distance
so many examples of bad construction
and bad drainage as exists between
Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Lit
orally the mistakes made there have
cost sum so great that l hesitate to
state it. :"
WHAT has the frenzied Morning
Statesman to say in defense of Califor.
mia s roads nowl
The editor of that paper should
either apologize for misinforming the
public on the condition of the Califor.
MIA hard-surfaee roads, or he should
demonstrate to us that Sam Hill is
mistaken.
Which horn of the dilemma will you
have, Mr.. Editorl
The same Sam Hill, speaking fur.
ther about these California roads. saws
in the same interview:
"Tne California engineers know
that the roads they are building will
not last long. They have been called
on to spend $ls,OOOOOO over a given
number of miles of road. 1t is not pos.
sible to cover that many miles and
build durable road. This is no re.
Election on the engineers, because their
work mas been outlined and made man.
datory for them. -
Precisely this very thing will happen
in Marion county if we attempt tc
build all of the miles of hard surface
roads radiating from Salem as outlined
/ by the county court. There will moi
be nearly enough money to do tn,
work right, and, as in California, if the
work is not done right we had bette,
let the building of hard-surface road.
alone until we can afford them. Let
well enough alone. Keep out of debt
