WILL STANDARDIzE
STATE ROAD BUILDING
SYSTEM IN OREGON
State Engineer Lewis Calls
Conference Of Engineers
at State House

State Engineer John H. Lewis has
called conference today of the prin-
cipal field engineers connected with
the state highway department, for the
purpose of standardizing the practice
of the department with reference to the
location work and construction of state
roads.
Each field engineer, he explained,
employs somewhat different methids in
securing and recording information and
has his own peculiar notions as to road
economies. And the state practice is
entirely different from that employed
by the county engineers and road auth
critics.
The conclusions will be embodied in
rules for the guidance of field and Of
flee forces and later published for the
information of county authorities, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lewis.
He explained that approximately $6,-
100000 is being expended annually in
| Oregon on roads, most of which is with
out adequate cost keeping or engineer
ing records. This does not include the
$240,OOO expended by the state high
way commission. No private corpora
tion doing a commensurate business
would be without records showing just
where and how such money was being
spent.
Until comparative plans and unit fig
ures as to cost are conveniently aXail-
able, it will be impossible to enforce
any economy or efficiency program. We
must be able to compare the results ac-
complished in one county with those in
another, or by the state. A certain
amount of cred tape" is essential to
any large business enterprise. A def
mite preconceived plan of work can
not be adopted and adhered to unless
statistics are available to demonstrate
to the taxpayer its practicability or
necessity, Legislation cannot be had
because we cannot show that the pres
ent system can be improved upon.
Mr.. Lewis returned this morning
from southern Oregon where he states
there is demand for state standards
in highway matters The county courts
of Lane, Douglas and Josephine coun-
ties made inquiry concerning the ac-
count number system of cost keeping
recently installed by the state, with
view to its adoption on county work.
During the coming month, Mr.. Ross,
auditor for the highway department,
will spend several days in each of these
counties explaining the advantages of
the system which permits detailed cost
analyses being made at little if any ad-
ditiOnal expense over present systems.
Several requests for4detailed instruc-
tions have been received from county
surveyors, and standard manual of
instructions will, it is believed, save
much duplication and waste according
to Lewis
Those in attendance at this morning IS
conference are ]. H. Scott, w. NJ. Pc
ters, J. A. Elliott, w. E. Eddy, W. D.
Clarke, 7. NJ. Davis, Joseph Weare, G.
Ed, Ross Fl. n. Hackett, S. H. Probert.

day, March ,, 1916, was a long article
to the effect that other secret organi-
cations were existing in the Salem higl
school, and one especially was plotting
against the Noble (D Caesars.
1t goes on to state that one society
in particular is ''inteusely" secret,
with very restricted membership, and
the place Of meeting, the name, and
personnel are not definitely known out
side the society.
Is the place Of meeting Of the julius
Caesars definitely known
This supposed society being so 'fn.
tensely' secret might be single per
SON who fills all the offices and is all
the members Of the society.
Since the law states that there shall
be no secret societies in the high school
and as the school board has taken tae
matter up, they should investigate all
organizations Of this nature which may
exist in the school.
However, if the reader should read
between the lines, he might. without
over-reading his powers of imagination,
see tnat the above quoted article was a
crude fabrication, constructed for the
sole purpose Of shifting responsibility
and creating in the public mind the feel
ing that the Julius Caesar society was
not the only secret organization in the
school, and thereby shifting the Cline
light" from themselves.

SantaneIli Pays Visit
To Asylum for Insane

Santanelli was the guest of DR.. Stein
er at the state asylum Saturday after
noon and a tour Of the institution was
made by the party.
1t is doubtless some time since a more
interested visitor has been shown
through the asylum, due to the fact
that DR.. Loryea, the father of Santan-
ELI. was one of the founders. DR.. Lory-
er was the first to take the chains off
the insane and to treat them as human
beings.
Santanellis' older brother was born
in the asylum while it was located in
Portland.
Being a surgeon Of no mean ability,
Santanelli was most favorabIy impress
ed with the ouerating room located
in the woman IS ward and spoke of the
many hospitals in the east that would
be greatly improved had they such an
equipment
Santanelli was desirous Of learning
if there were any attendants of his ac-
quaintance, yet in the employ of the
institution, in order that they might
be his guests during his engagement at
the Bligh theater this week, but none
could be found. Careful inquiry was
made for those whose names he could
recall.
