HIGHWAYS COMMIT TEE
VOTES BOND ISSUE Of
TEN MILLION DOLLARS
To Be Financed By Auto Ii.
cense Tax And One Cent Per
Ganon On Gasoline.

With but one dissenting vote, the
senate committee on roads and high
ways last night voted in favor of in,
Producing bill providing for $l0,-
100000 road bond issue, to be financed
by doubling the automobile license tax
and placing g. tax of one cent a gallon
on gasoline and distillate.
On motion of Senator Lachmund, the
committee aso tentatively approved a
provision that no royalties should be
paid for pavements, and that bids shall
be accepted only on plans and specifi.
cations prepared by the state highway
commission.
These provisions are aimed at the pat.
ented pavements and at paving con
Germs which are always presenting their
own specifications as a basis for theii
bids.
Another feature tentatively approved
by the committee was that the money
be spent first in completing the Pacific
highway, from the north to the south
boundaries of the state, and the high
way running from Portland to the Ida
no line at Ontario, and next in build
ing secondary trunk lines and last in
building feeder roads.
Smith of Coos Opposed.
Senator Smith of Coos county was the
one who opposed the $10,000,0O0 bond
bill, as he insisted that $6,000,000 was
enough. He declared that the people
Of the state would not vote for $40,
100000 bill, and that prompted Senator
Ritner to say he was prepared to at
tach an emergency clause to a $10,
100000 bonding bill, as he deemed il
the patriotic duty of the legislature tc
provide funds for large road build
ing program as a means of furnishing
employment to returning soldiers.
This same thought along patriotic
lines was expressed by Senators Hurley
and Norblsd and Orton, while Senator
Handley favored the proposed size Of
the bond issue but On purely road build
ing business basis. He said the soldiers
were not looking ror jobs building
roads.
The committee win invite the house
committee on roads to meet with them
in joint session to consider road legis
lation, and members of the highway
commission and the state engineer will
be asked to come before the commit
tees for the purpose Of furnishing oil

Measures Affecting
Workmen' S Compensation
Law To Be introduced

Three measures affecting the work
ingmen's compensation law will prob
ably be introduced during the present
session Of the legislature by those who
are friendly to the law.
One Of the measures will be in the
way of bill amending the constitution
which would remove any obstacle in
that direction and the other bill max
ing the law compulsory.
1t is the purpose to have the legis-
lature place the constitutional amend
ment and bill before the people eth
er ct a special election or at the gener-
al election to be he'd in Novmber 1920.
In another bill to be introduced, eff
forts will be made to secure improve
ments to the present law through the
passage Of a bill by the present legisla.
ture. No radical changes are contem-
plated, the amendments suggested by
those who have had experience working
under the present law.
The question of the extent to which
the state should aid in the operation of
the compensation law bids fair to be
solved satisfactorily. In order to. aid
in the present emergency, the ways and
means committee is having drafted a
bill which will suspend state aid for
two years after which time the bill pro-
vides the states contribution to the
fund Of an amount equal to one-sev-
anfh Of the income shall he redueed tn
the cost of administration.

Newspaper Correspondents
Called Into Conference

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Jan. 16.-The peace delegates
decided today to call newspaper cores
pondents of the allied representatives
into conference for an Interchange of
views" 1t was believed that the re-
cent secrecy" order would be brought
up and it was predicted that it would
be msterially modified.
French newspapers protested today
against the conferences secrecy"
ruling, though it is understood it was
made at the suggestion of the French
government. The press suggested the
conferce's attitude was that "those
who made war do not need to know how
peace is made.'
"The communique says nothing, and
consequently 1 know nothing" declar.
ed Charles Saclio,'' special writer.
"What are we going to do about ite
The correspondents, trusting to the nat
i've candor Of President Wilson, believ-
ed peace Of the public was public
matter and that 1T was essential that
the interests of the nations be discussed
by the nations themselves. They believ-
ed this all the more as, before leaving
America, Wilson promised Senator oBr-
ah that all discussions Of the confer
ences would be placed before the pub
lie and repeated this promise at every
opportunity. But Wilson committed
himself lightly. The chancellors Of old
Europe taught him that without the
censor there is no salvation.
