SENATORIAL OBJECTIONS.

Concerning the questions whether the proposed plan
for League of Nations is contrary to the constitution of
the United States and whether it is likely to entange
the United States unduy in foreign affairs former Pres
den Taft is prababy well qualified to speak as any
other in America. He has had the Invaluable exper
ence of handling directly the nations affairs for four
years. He has been all his life deep student of inter-
national law. He deserves respectful hearing, then
when he says
The gentlemen in the senate who are setting out
defeat the League of Nations citing the constitution
as an argument against it. revere and worship that
great instrument and it is story to if the
stitution prevents the people from playing their part in
bringing peace and order and happiness to ourselves and
the other peoples of the world.
The application at this time of the doctrine of avoid
ing enangng alliances is reactionary to the extent of
delaying world peace for hundred years. The question
at this time whether the whole great plan Of the League
of Nations is to be defeated because can't get two
thirds majority of our senate for its ratification
If the senate definitely refuses for any reason to-
give the plan pectful hearing and register the will
of the nation Mr. Taft is not the only good American
that the senators will hear from. There are millions
with him.

Draw Up Resolution OF
Respect For Governor

In the course of its recent meeting in
Portland, the state highway meeting
drew up and passed the following reso-
lutions of respect for the late Govern
OF Withyeombe:
Whereas the inevitable summons that
must come TO US all has called James
Withyeombe, Governor of Oregon, from
his executive duties that he was so faith
fully performing; from the people woh
trusted and so signelly honored him;
and from his family to whom he was SO
tenderly devoted,
Therefore, be it resolved by the state
highway commission, in regular session
assembled, that in his going the state
has lost not only one of its most dis
tinguished citizens but one of its most
upright men, faithful servants and pat
riotie leaders, who abounded in good
works and was especially devoted to
the development Of the state in its eff
forts for highway betterment, and
That neighbors are impoverished be-
cause Of his absence and friends made
lonely by loss of his good cheer, and
That this commission feels keenly the
loss of his support and counsel in the
work that he placed in its hands, and
That the family hss suffered an un-
speakable bereavement but gained an
inheritance that enriehes and must re-
main consolation.
Be it further resolved that these res
olutions be spread upon the minute book
Of the commission, copy be furnished
the press, and an embossed copy be fur
nished the family as an expression Of
our abiding sympathy, and further
That in respect TO his memory the
commission now adjourn for the day.

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.

The public has hardly begun to appreciate the road
building possibilities opened BY the federal Appropriation
recently made by congress- The postofice bill provides
$209000000 be distributed among the states during the
next three years for highway Improvement fifty
fifty bass-that is the industrial states bearing less
than half the expense
To this sum should be added the funds available from
the original federal aid road act passed in 1916, which
provided S75000000 for five-year period ending in
1921 and $10000000 for forest roads over ten
year period The states have been little interested in
such help that only 100000 of the original $850O00O0
has been used up and there remains to add
the new allowance of $209000000.
1t is thus seen that nearly $300000000 of govern
ment money is available for roads during 1919 1920 and
1921 and that if the states take full advantage of these
funds on the fiftyffy basis there will be nearly $780,
100000 to spend during this three-year period
An admirable feature of the new law is the Gberaityl
of the terms under which the national funds may be dis
trbuted The government is permitted to contribute to
state roads as much as $4,000 a mile Moreover, the
law authorizes the department to transfer for such
work. roadbulding materials which it may longer
need The roads to which federal aid given tech
ncaly supposed to be post roads, but this term now
made so elastic to include any public road major
portion Of which is used be used or forms al
connecting link not to exceed ten miles in length Of any
road roads hereafter used for the transporta
tion Of United States mails"
1t is inconcevabe that there should not be urgent
demand in every state, to take full advantage of this
unprecedented opportunity for road-improvement Any
state government that does not take immediate steps to
obtain and utilize its share of the appropriation is shrk
ing its duty.
