has been made of a just idea is
no reason why right use should

Will Resume Work
On Sutherlin r. R.

Roseburg Review: Sutherlin peo-
pie who spent today in Roseburg are
authority for the statement that r.
NJ. Fox, western representative of the
Roach Timber Company, has arrived
in Portland on his return to Suther-
lin after several months spent in the
east, where he held series of con-
ferences with members of the COM
pany.
While Mr.. Fox has made no defin-
ite announcement, Sutherlin visitors
in Roseburg today said it was their
opinion that actual work on the new
railroad would be resumed within the
next sixty days. Practically eight
miles of the proposed road was COM
pleted last year and it is expected
that the remainder of the line will be
finished before next fall. AS soon as
the rails can be laid on the first unit
of the road the work of erecting one

Road Commission
Gives Assurance

Friends of the road bond issue all
over Oregon are much heartened by
the attitude of the new state high
way commission.
The commission has come forward
firmly and stated that no undue pref
erence will be exercised to favor one
section of the state over another, or
to favor one type Of pavement over
another.
1t has made 1t clear that 1t will
cooperate with all the counties in
stead of only few.
Also it states if contractors bids
for paving and other road construc-
tion are too high, it will purchase
the necessary machinery and con-
struct roads and paving by day labor
under the supervision and direction
of the state engineers.
No selection of state highway
engineer has been made, as the COM
mission shows it intends to cut its
garment according to the cloth. A
different type of engineer may be
needed in the event the bonds do not
pass, as there would be little or nc
paving work to be done, and COM
paratively little money would be
available for other highway construc-
tion,
Formal official statements of the
commissions policy will be incorpor'
ated in the official argument in the
state pamphlet to be sent by the sec
retary of state to all the voters prior

Work Of State
Motor Association

Pacific Interstate: The heavy in
crease in ourist travel for the sea-
son of 1916 has shown the directors
of the Oregon State Motor association
the necessity of securing and dissem-
mating more accurate road informa-
ton. Although last year reports were
received from the commercial bodies
throughout the state as to the con-
dition of the highways in their sec
tions, this Information could not be
relied upon for its accuracy.
This ives the main reason for the
reincorporation Of the Portland Auto
mobile club into the Oregon State
Motor association. ]. W. Morris,
formerly city engineer Of Portland,
has been engaged by the association
and is now at work in Southern Ore
gon securing data and organizing the
local association in the different
towns and cities. Tho money re-
ceived from this source will be spent
for making maps and advertising the
state.
Discussing the subject with Pacific
Interstate, an official of the associa-
tion said:
THE expense of doing this work
is heavier than most persons realize
and it has recently been decided by
most OF the automobile clubs and as
sociations in the United States, more
particularly along the Pacific Coast,
to stop giving free information to
those who are not members Of an
automobile club. 1t is the general
opinion among the clubs and asso-
Citations that as all this information,
including maps, etc, is being paid
for by the members Of the various
clubs, only those who pay should
receive IneSc neHeIltS.
This information is stock in trade,
yet 1t is published in the newspapers
and handed out broadcast on every
side. Motor clubs and associations
are business propositions and there
is not more reason why they should
give away goods than any other busi-
ness house, and to quote from letter
received recently, 1t is seldom the
case that the 'sponger' ever joins a
club, even though he be given the
courtesies of the club at his every re-
quest.
"At the present time the members
and non-members benefit alike by the
work of our association in legislative
matters, sign posting, road work and
touring information and cooperation
with other clubs and public officials,
while the few local members are the
men who are making this work pos
sible. 1t seems inly reasonable that
they should be given the advantage
over the non-members.
Following is a letter received by
the Oregon State Motor association
from the California State Automobile
association, under date Of March 7,
in answer to this associations letter
informing them that it had been de-
cided not to furnish any more in
formation to non-members of motor
clubs
"This club is in accord with your
ruling. and, in fact, over year ago
decided to supply no motorists OF
