STRIKE QUESTION CAUSES
A CRISI SAT CHRISTIANIA

CHRISTIANIA, May ia serious
political crisis in Norway has been
precipitated by the resignation of ].
Castberk, minister for commerce and
industry. who has been generally re-
garded as the backbone of the radical
cabinet now in power. Castberg took
emphatic issue with his colleagues on
certain labor legislation they are op-
posing, which he holds to be not only
inimical to the interests of the peo-
pie but also unconstitutional. Against
the protests of the 23 socialists in the
storting. the government decided in
favor of depriving all those employed
in the public services, such as the
telegraphs. post office, telephones,
railways. ETC., of the right of combi-
nation and striking, and to introduce
compulsory arbitration for the re-
naming classes of work-people. The
socialists declare that if this legisla-
ton is passed they will proclaim a
general strike. Unable to persuade
His colleagues to modify their plans,
Castberg resigned,
The situation is complicated with
the same issue that has arisen in
Sweden, the problem of naional de-
fense. Premier Knutsen having taken
a strong stand for a big increase OF
ornaments. this he is opposed not
only by the socialists but by large
section of the other progressive ele'
ments. The existing tension is illus
trated by an incident growing out OF
the issue by the union of the socia
democratic youth of an anti-militar'
list stamp representing a workman
breaking a weapon over his knee
which was circulated for sticking on
letters and postal packages. The gov
| ernment at once forbade the trans
mission through the mails of article:
so ornamented. When the socialist
organ NY It'd. at Trondjem, there
upon reproduced the stamp in its col
umns in the form of large cartoon
the postoffice department refused tc
deliver that particular issue to sub

CNGRESS ADDS TO
NATIONAL FOREST

WASHINGTON. May 12.-Nearly
1900 acres have just been added by
act Of congress to the Caribou ma
tional forest, Idaho. Thi sis one of
the first of such additions through
congressional action. and is the larg-.
est so far made by direct legislation.
Those who have followed the ma
tional forest movement in this coun-
try will recall that most of the for
ests have been created through presi-
dental proclamation, which set aside
for timber growing or for water pro-
lection, certain areas of the public
domain. In march, 1907, however,
congress passed law that no further
additions should be made to the ma
tional forest areas in the states of Col
orado. Idaho. Montana, Oregon, WASH
ington and Wyoming, except through
congressional action.
Since July, 1909, residents of the
city of Montpelier, Idaho, have been
petitioning to have this 1900 acres
added to the Caribou national forest,
because the area includes the water
shed of the streams which furnish the
city's water supply. Not being within
national forest the tract was given
over to unregulated grazing and other
usages which resulted in stream pol
luton and became a serious menace
to health. The citizens of Montpelier,
at several times subsequent to their
first efforts in 1909. renewed their pc
tition; and the act just passed repre-
sents the successful outcome of their
efforts.

Grades and Yardage Will
Determine Highway Route

When Major Bowlby was in Ash
land Friday the Tidings reporter
asked him ii the route for the Pacific
Highway east from Ashland to the
Barron ranch has been decided upon.
He replied that 1t had not; the en-
gineers had not yet got to that part
OF the work. The three routes were
mentioned, or rather the fact that
there were parties advocating three
distinct routes. lie, in return, asked
the reporter which he thought the
best routes. The latter replied that
he would not pretend to say without
going over them with Instruments.
Major Bowlby remarked that this was
just the situation the engineers were
in. Samuel Hill, the road builder,
who was present, spoke up and said,
The instruments and the yardage
always have to determine such ques-
tions." Major Bowlby will, the writ
er feels certain, give all the routes
due consideration, and then decide
upon the route which his experience
as an engineer leads him to consider
the best.
The argument has been made that
the road should be placed where It
will accommodate the most people di-
rectly alongside of It.. Were the
highway to be paid for by assessments
on adjoining lands this would be emf
nently true, but IL Is being paid for
by every taxpayer in Jackson county,
and the greatest good to the great
est number" of those contributing
might not mean the greatest good to
the taxpayers along its route. A man
in Medford might have contributed
several times the amount of any land
owner along II certain piece of high
way and his right to have a good
straight road. safe from dangerous
railway crossings, would be equal to
the right of some other taxpayer to
have the highway go in front of his
place instead of behind, etc.
There are as many questions in
the location of such road as there
are of railroad. and the problems
are similar. which can safely be de-
termlned only BY competent en-
gineers.
The weakest link In the very weak
chain OF road building in America in
the past has been the attempt to
make road work conform 70 the ideas

In the forenoon Prof. Fred G.
Aver, department of education, Uni
versity of Oregon, addressed the
schoolmen on knowledge Worth
While" The educational theories of
all the great nations were reviewed
and the points emphasized by each
of the nations were given special at
tention. Mr.. Aver called attention
to the responsibility forced upon the
schools in the present age. He said
so many different phases of social
reform are knocking at the doors of
the school curriculum for representa-
tion that to guide the schools Alright
through all these insistent demands
requires great courage as well as an
open mind to these new problems.
Several of the new principles in edu-
cation were reviewed and the con-
sensus of opinion by the educational
experts given.
Mr.. Ayers talk showed that he is
thoroughly conversant with educa-
tional history and doctrine. In clos
ing he made strong plpea for care
full educational and sociological sur
veys, having in view the following
points:
l. Physical efficiency OF the hu-
man race.
2. Social communication. In this,
language and all the arts of commun-
ication should be developed.
4. Education for parenthood.

]. w. Sweeney
Gets Contract

That the work on the Pacific High
way will soon commence is now as
sured. The delay, as previously stat
ed in the Tidings, has been caused
by the financial entanglements of the
firm OF Keasal 4 Mcdowell, the orig
inal contractors of the grading over
the Siskiyous. About two weeks af-
ter securing the contract the COM
pany were forced to go into the hands
Of a receiver because OF losses on an
other contract. Several parties want
ed to subcontract it, but none of them
had the financial backing satisfactory
to the county court. Finally, how
ever, the contract has been relet at
the bid of Keasal & Mcdowell to j.
w. Sweeney, the prominent Portland
contractor who built the p. r. & n.
h. r. from Portland TO Tillamook.
Mr. Sweeney arrived in Medford Sat
urday to sign up the contract and
arrange the bond. Mr.. Sweeney was
one of the original bidders, his bid
having been about $1,000 higher than
that of Keasal & Mcdowell. He was
induced, however, to meet the bid of
the former contractors, thus saving
the county $1,000.

Hon. Samuel Hill, Americas fore
most road builder, again manifested
his interest in Jackson county and
the Pacific Highway by making two
visits to Ashland Friday. He and
Major Bowlby, state engineer, arrived
on the Shasta Limited from the north
Friday morning at 6 o'clock and
spent several hours here, returning
to Medford on the motor. They we're
in consultation with the county court
and others, concerning the taking
over of the Keasal & Mcdowell con-
tract on the highway by ]. W. Swee-
ney, leading contractor of Port
land.
In the evening Major Bowlby and
Mr.. Hill returned from Medford and
we're taken over the various routes
out of Ashland to the southeast by
Benton Bowers in his automobile.
Mr.. Hill was enthusiastic over the
prospects Of good road, not only
through the west but throughout the
nation. Since last visiting Ashland
he presided over the American Road
Builders Association at Philadelphia,
when 5000 enthusiastic road builders
gathered to discuss ways and means
for gridironing America with hard
surfaced highways.
Mr.. Hill says that Oregon has the
best organization for building good
roads west of Ohio and that she is
going to forge we'll to the front He
has been assisting in the campaign
in Columbia county for the bonds for
the Columbia Highway from Portland
to the sea. He says it is going to be
one of the grandest roads with some
of the grandest scenery in America
and that thousands of tourists from
the east will annually tour the west
