CEMENT
TRUST ON
THE JOB
(Special to The Times. J

OLYMPIA, March What is
declared to be a move to put
through joker legislation to give
the cement trust a complete mo-
nopoly of all state road work,
with the aid Of the state highway
commissioner, came to head to-
day in the closing rush of the leg
islature's business.
The movement apparently was
launched from two angles. Two
bills were before the legislature,
either of which, it was declared,
would give the control to the
Portland cement people, who have
been under indictment in the
federal court of Oregon, charged
with monopoly in restraint of
trade.
The baldest piece of this sort
of legislation is House Bill 372,
introduced by Rep. Gauntlet of
Grays Harbor, which it is expected
will appear on the calendar either
today or tomorrow.
1t boldly states just what the
cement people want.
Makes II Compulsory
1t is dripping with concrete. II
provides that every permanent
highway shall have concrete
base of a minimum average thicN.
ness of six inches, and that when
wood block or brick are used they
shall be on a substantial concrete
base.
This, 1t is asserted, practically
would shut competitive material
out of the market, besides assur-
ing at least six inches of concrete
on all roads.
The bill also provides that no
material can be acquired, unless 1t
Is purchased on open competitive
bidding, thus shutting out of the
running creosoted wood block as
we'll as asphaltic and briIh paving
which could not enter competitive
bidding.
Senate Bill 60 practically takes
from the county commissioners
all jurisdiction in the building of
public highways, and puts 1t in
the hands of the state highway
commissioner and the state high
way board.
Lobby Hard at Work
This bill, introduced by the
roads and bridges committee, al
ready has passed the senate and
is up to the house for passage.
That both bills were drawn
up at the instigation of the state
highway commissioner and that
the cement trust has had lobby
here making desperate efforts to
put them through, is taken as evil
dence that they are working hand
in glove to put the road work of
the state in the hands of a monop-
oily.
