RITNER ASSERTS BONDING BILL

1t viii b, many years before East
ern oregon people will get another
chance 10 vote on road bill that will
be more favorable to their interests
than the So 600. 600 bonding bill to be
voted on in June" says Representa
tive Roy W. Ritner.
Among the favorable features OF
the bill from a local standpoint. In
the view OF MT Ritner. are that east
ern oregon has a member OF the high
way commission and that the action
OF the commission in agreeing upon
roads must be unanimous. thereby
preventing injustice 20 any section OF
the state. In the event the commits
sion cannot agree upon any subject

The highway commission will have

some time. The exposure gave
the lie direct to Hollweg's
Reichstag speech expressing
surprise over the United States
severance of relations.
The administration knew
the details of Germany's plot
tings when the anti-alien bills
were pending before the Ore
gon and Idaho legislatures. 1t
explains the governments an
xiety to prevent the bills pass
ing.
Sinister Sequence of Events.
The exposure of the German
plot apparently explains the
reported gatherings of German
reservists in Mexico City and
the presence of large numbers
of japanese in Lower Califor-
MIA. A sinister sequence of
events lies behind the plot.
German agents followed the
developments of the Mexican
peace conference at Atlantic
City and many German spies
were on the border. Teuton di-
plomats, it is reported. travelled
from Washington to Mexico
