honor of being a very active mem
Der, took these three codes and to-
Eether with some original ideas Of the
committee formulated a new state
highway code which was known as
House Bill SOC. This bill was passed
and Is now a law. Under its provis-
ions the new State Highway Commits
sion was appointed. This bill had
nothing to do with the Road Bond
Bin hic was introduced later.
600 Provisions Used.
Ahou fifty per cent OF the new
.highwae code was taken from the
splendid hill" referred 10 BY Mr..
Strain in his pamphlet directing tbs
people how to vote. This bill had
many very good features which we
used long with portions OF the other
codes which We deemed m-eritorious
I was repeatedly importuned by the
authors of this bill to introduce it
and would have gladly done 81 had
its authors consented to eliminate two
provisions which 7 deemed poor iefis-
lation. one of these provided that
two Of the members Of the new State
Highway Commission should be ap-
pointed "by the governor from a list
of names recommended by the Ore
gon Good Roads Association. n or
p~crtatien composed OF representatives
from the Oregon State Grange. Port
land Automobile club, Oregon State
Federation Of Labor. Oregon Hotel
mems Association. State Editorial As
sociation. state Taxpayers League.
Portland Chamber Of Commerce.
Farmers Union. Portland Realty
Roard. Newspaper Union. Oregon
State Bankers Association" CThe
PendIeton Roundup and the Epworth
League were not included. Mr..
Strain very conveniently left put the
State Pankers' Association Portland
Automobile club. Portland Chamber
OF Commerce and such organizations
as would not appeal to the dear peo-
pie in Umatila county.
Al first glance the Joker I'm this
CLAUSE Is NOT noticeable, However. on
reading il over carefully one viii no
tice that IL provides thnt the list Of
names recommended to the governor
.is not selected nv o. various orcani-
zations named ten fh- hW hut by the
.Orcgon Good Roads Association, The
hin did not specify the number OF
names and the governor had no al
Tentative hut To chose from the names
submitted. strange Co say Mr.. spence
OF the Grange and Mr.. Brown NJ h
Farmers Union were more solicitous
about thus particular section than all
the rest OF the bill. The bill also pro-
Vided "a salary 81 six hundred per an
rum FOR each commissioned which ]
would consider excessive On he event

that either Of the above named men
should have succeeded in landing up
on the commission. 1t wal generally
understood that Mr.. Brown was am-
bilious TO get upon the state payroll
In addition to hat Of the Farmers
Union. The House Roads and High
way Committee were unanimous in
eliminating this am Of selecting
the commission.
As the governor is elected by the
people and is responsible for his adj
m~inistration Of state affairs he should
be given n free hand in appointing
and removing appointiye commission
and should not be hampered by or
g~anizations which have no official
standing before the people.
About Mr.. Lewis.
Another provision of the bill which
/ strenuously objected to was making
the state engineer a member of the
State Highway Commission. Mr..
Lewis is an irrigation engineer. not
a road engineer. He is a three thous
and dollar a year man and it is not
good business to place such a man in
a position where he would have the
supervision of the work Of a much
higher priced man. The state engi-
neer was elected to his position while
the other two members OF the COM
mission would be appointed. Such a
condition would result in divided au-
thority and constant friction and
when il comes to producing friction.
Mr.. Lewis has had u~nbounded expert
with suspicion the motives Of those
differ with me. 1 believe that
is honest in his criticisms but
before he assumes the role Of public
adviser he should acquaint himself
with the facts or abandon such role
and taxi to writing fiction.

hardsurface ii, You must expend
1880 per mile to scarify and impreg-
nate IL with oil in accordance with
the plans your Court advises me they
deem wisest TO adopt If the bond is
sue fails. DO you think that such an
expenditure will keep that road in
good condition for more han two
years? Rather expensive mainten-
ance and some expense to the tax
payers. I believe the public will re-
pudiate such expenditure. What al
! formative have you or this County?
1 AS a member OF this Commission I
stated publicly that this road would
be one of the first to receive state
aid. BY what authority do you state
that Umatilla county will not re-
ceive any state aid2 The Bonding
Act itself explicitly states that so per
cent OF the Post Road none must be
expended on the roads designated in
the measure east of the Cascades.
This is mandatory. The people OF
eastern Oregon know me too well TO
doubt the sincerity of my statement
that eastern Oregon and Umatilla
county will receive state n Federal
aid. How much AVE we received
before? Not one dollar-yet Una
tilla county has paid into the State
Highway Fund $4,000 in the past
four years.
People should Awake.
Wake up, people Of Umatilla coun-
~, we have at least an opportunity
of getting our share of these funds
by enactment of law. regardless of
who your Commissioner is.
The pessimistic talk that we shoula
cease road and civic improvements on
account Of the war is wrong. What
would be the effect in this county il
bankers should begin to cOunse the
PEOPLE of this community to slow up
and cease taking on any. new bust
ness. What would be the effect on
all business if all men in X position
would adopt that policy? Financial
depression would follow as surely as
night follows day. How would this
country absorb this great war loan?
We may well be thankful that the
men at the head OF our country's af-
fairs are not pessimists today. The
word the Council of Defense M War
Department have sent forth that we
conduct business as usual; that we
continue our civic improvements and
our road building is the word We all
want. in order that this great. pros
porous country may prosecute this
war to a successful conclusion.
A Preparedness Step.
What right have we, in this great
producing section. receiving as we are
abnormal prices for all our products. !
what right. | repeat. have we TO
resen expenditures which We all. in
our own minds. know are of a pre-
/ aredness nature?
We may as well recognize that these
prices are due to the war.
we will not only be expected to
bear our portion of necessary public
improvements. but a substantial por-
ton of the war loan as well. Let's
assume this cheerfully-grateful that
We live in not only the greatest and
most prosperous nation in the world.
but in the most prosperous portion of
that great nation.
Let US vote for progress and pros
rather than pessimism and de-
preston.

MENTIONS MUNICIPAL PLANT
NOT PAYING AT PRESENT
CHARGES TO CONSUMERS,
ELECTRICITY AND GAS
TO COST PUBLIC MORE
High Prices Of Fuel and Other Ele-
nents Cause City Council to Plan to
Present Rates Higher Than Those
Charged by Some Private Plants.

Newton, Oct. s1.-The city council
held a called meeting at the city hall
at which time final action was taken
on two new ordinances which pertain
to installing a new schedule of prices
to the consumers OF electricity for
power and also gas.
The city has found that under the
old rates the municipal plant is un-
able to meet the expenses of manu-
featuring gas and electricity owing to
the increased costs of everything that
goes into the manufacture and distribu-
ton of the product. The price that it
is now necessary to pay for coal IL
one of the biggest of the added costs
that the city is called upon to meet,
and also labor now costs cons derable
more.
The new rates for electricity and
gas become effective Thursday, Nov. /.
Under the old schedule the monthly
rates for electricity for light was s
cents per lzilowatt hour, and the power
rate was I cents on sliding scale TO
-, cents per kilowatt hour. Under the
ne" rates WHICH oSCOIiiS eiieNtiNS -'o''
l. the rate for light will be 10 cents
and the power rate will be on sliding
scale basis from S cents to "a cents
per kilowatt hour. The rate for Charg
ing storage batteries has been in
creased from to cents.
The gas rates at present are s1.35
per 1000 for the first 5000 cubic feet
with sliding scale down to s1.20 per
1000 for all over 5000 cubic feet con-
sumed Under the new schedule a fat
rate Of $3.50 has been established.
