District Engineer for Eastern oregon
Five years ago little was being ex-
pended on highway Improvement In
the state of Oregon. People had not
awakened to the importance and need
OF improved roads and furthermore.
II was generally deemed impossible
TO secure funds necessary for such
work. Bond issues for road con-
struction were not given serious con-
sideration until recent years. Special
taxes for such purposes were opposed.
This opposition weakened and dis
appeared only when the automobile
came into common use over the state,
and the general public began to learn
OF good roads.
As impaired with other western
states Oregon made late start In per-
n,an-rt highway improvement. but
once the need was apparent a vigor-
BUS demand for permanency sprang
mp, and has continued TO spread with
phenomenal growth. Accordingly
finds were raised, and improvements
began. Considering completed work

Iurinf' the past two years two bond

been voted and this amount, together
with general taxes and government

PLAN TO UTILIZE THE
 WATER POWER RESOURCES

The great importance of utilizing the vast water power resources of the country to the fullest possible extent and without further delay was em- phasized by an announcement given out by the conference of Governors and Mayors in session at Albany, New York.
 The announcement reads in part: "The serious coal situation confront ing the nation has forced to our at- tention most forcibly the need of con- serving our fuel supply. It is noth- ing short of criminal to have the sur plus waters of the country running waste when their utilization would mean tremendous supply of electri- cal energy, the absence of which at the present time is replacing our in- dustrial life in jeopardy"

NORTH DAKOTA VOTERS
 NEED NOT VISIT POLLS

Under the provisions of Senate bill which has just passed the Lower House of the State Assembly, of North Dakota voters living more than half a mile from the polling places may ex- press their wishes in elections, without visiting the polls in person, by using an absent voters ballot.
 It is claimed by those opposed to the new law that the measure is un- wise because, they say, it will do away entirely with the secrecy of the ballot that is provided for by the present Australian ballot system. On the oth- CT hand the measure is strongly sup ported by many because of the oppor- tunities which it will afford those cit izens who live at distance from the polls to vote without inconvenience or loss of time. Then too it is claimed that, with proper methods of transmit ting the ballots to the polls, the sec recy of the ballot can be preserved in connection with the absent-voter method just as well as by the Austral- ian method.

AUSTRIA STARVING
 ASKS FOR CREDITS

A report from Paris says that big credits are needed by Austria to save her from famine and bankruptcy until after the harvests are gathered next fall.
 Karl Renner, Chancellor of the Aus trial Republic, who in the French cap itol in an effort to secure help from the Allies for his countrymen, said yesterday: "When I left Vienna we had only 5000 tons of flour for six and three-quarter millions of people, a supply for six days only. Children are dying of hunger and cold in Vienna ,and S5 per cent of those be- tween nine months and three years of age are suffering with rickets. For these reasons it is important that sup plies go forward at once. What we need first is long term credit abroad of $1OO,OO0,O00 with which to procure food until the end of October, 1920. Relief now is the only thing that can alleviate the present distress, and credit alone can deliver us from the menace of general famine and make it possible for us eventually to pay our debts.
 "Humanitarianism and moral prin- ciples, apart from the interest of the Allies, demand that a people indebted to them be safe from catastrophe, their future assured and their for tunes saved from dilapidation.
 "Our existence and working capa- city must be assured by cooperation from those to whom We are obliged, at least for several months in ad- vance, if we are to save the situation" |"
