APPROPRIATION FOR
HIGHWAY DOUBTFUL

Fear that the Roosevelt hlBhWay
anpropriation will not he granted by
congress is expressed In letter re-
ceived today from Senator George
Chamberlain by the Pendleton Com
merciat Association. The club wired
the oregon delegation in congress iast
Tuesday night urging support OF TINS
legislation and also stating Pendletons 8
stand on the long and short haui
proposition.
Two reasons stand in the way OF
the Roosevelt highway appropriation
the senator says. The first Is that the
military necessity of the highway IA
not present at his time and that the
proposition of turning over TO the
federal channels the operation ana
maintenance of the road hardly COIN
cldes with the federal program.
The second reason against the sue
cess of the measure is that Oregons
rond law is diametrically opposed TO
the Schackelford law which regulates
the federal aid for highways the
senator promised, however to do
whatever possible for the success OF
the measure.
