Marion County Not Entitled to Share
In Distribution Of State Roads Fund
Says Grant County District Attorney

Marion county, together with Hood
River, Klamath, Yamhill and Jeffer-
son counties, are not entitled to share
in the distribution of the state mar
ket roads fund, according to form
al protest against the proposed distri-
button as outlined by the state high
way commission April filed this
morning by A. ID. Leedy, district at
torney for Grant county in behalf of
the county court of Grant county.
Twenty three other counties are
named in Leedy's complaint as not
entitled to share in the distribution of
Multnomahe county's surplus.
OnE Grant, Columbia, Curry, Gill
liam, Lake and Sherman counties
made specific levies'' as provided by
the act sufficient to cover the state
apportionment plus Multnomah coun-
TVS sudplus according to Leedy's pro-
test which asks for correction of
the distribution along the lines ad-
vanced in the complaint.
Two Points Involved
Two legal points are involved in
Leedys complaint. One to the effect
that certain counties failed to comply
with the terms of the act requiring
that "the county court Of any county
desiring to avail itself of the provis-
ions and benefits of this act in any
year shall provide by uniform levy
on all the taxable property of the
county for the specific purpose of
market road construction such an
amount as may equal the amount ap-
portioned to said county by the state
highway commission under this act"
The other point raised by Leedy is
to the effect that with, the. exception
of Grant and five other counties the
other counties in the state failed to
make a levy sufficient to meet the
amount due under the one mill state
levy plus the surplus from Multnomah
county.
Records Show Compliance
Members of the state highway de-
partment this morning stated that af-
fidavits and resolutions on file in the
office here showed that every coun-
ty in the state had complied with the
provisions of the act by providing a
fund to meet the state fund. Wheth-
er this fund was raised by a levy for
the specific purpose Of matching the
state market road fund or whether
such a specific levy was necessary to
meet the terms of the act, they were
unable to state.
Twenty three other counties are
named in Leedy's complaint as hav-
ing failed to make levy sufficient to
cover the amount allotted to them out
of the surplus from Multnomali coun-
ty.
Whereas, Grant county with levy
of three mills raised s25,011.99 for
market road purposes. he sets out,
only $11,1S9.7s is allotted TO them in
the distribution of state funds of April
third.
While the complaint is as yet mere
ly formal protest to the state high
way commission It is understood that
Leedy is prepared to take the matter
into the courts to enforce a redistri-

CONSTRUCTION MORE NEEDED
THAN RECONSTRUCTION NOW


New York, Apr. 30.-Construction
rather than reconstruction is the great
task confronting this congress. the
next congress and perhaps even the
sixty-eighth congress, Senator Walter
E. Edge, of New Jersey said, speaking
at the luncheon meeting.
Senator Edge declared '.there is too
much government in business and not
enough business in government"
The United States must open and
cultivate world wide markets for its
goods" he continued. 1.-THE people of
the United States cannot consume the
entire production of the land. nor
would there be any profit for them II
they could and merely interchanged
dollars among themselves; so, either
world markets must be won and culti-
waited, or American production must
be curtailed, with resultant poverty,
distress and unrest"
Assistant Secretary Laffingwen of
the treasury declared that the govern
ment of the United States "is dead
locked against ITSELF a government of
obstruction"
Failure of the government to deal in
a constructive way with any one of
the vital national problems he attrib-
uted largely to the fact that the gov
ernment is divided against itself"
"At this most critical moment in
the history of Europe he declared,
when our financial and economic
stake in Europe affairs is so great that
disaster there could mean only dis.
aster here, many of our own people
have turned gamblers and wasters.
For plain living and high thinking, we
have substituted wasting and bicker-
ing. We enjoy high living while we
grumble at the high cost of living"
Mr.. Leffingwell assaulted the yvy-
ernment's administrative policy as
penny wise and pound foolish" recit
ing how congress had struggled to ef-
feet economies at the expense of eff
cient administration while 1t takes
times to add $65.000,000 to civil war
pensions"
Instead of telling the people frank
ly and boldly" he said, "that prices
are high because they are wasting, we
fix prices and prosecute profiteers in
order that the people may buy more
and pay less. Instead Of telling the
young men who were drafted to fight
the war. and who came back better
and stronger and more fit to fight
their own battle than they ever were
before, to go to work and save theiI
money and look out for themselves Of
any self respecting man should. We
listen complacently to their organized
demands for bonus. euphemistically
called adjusted compensation.

Talk H.C.L.

New York. Apr. 30-Bankers. edu-
Gators and economists of the United
States and Europe discussed the facts
and causes of initiation and high
prices and their remedies at the semi
annual meeting of the academy of
political science which opened here to-
day.
DR., B. nj. Anderson Jr.. of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce in New
York. declared that the shortage Of
goods and the attendant speculation
is the prime cause of present high
high prices, in this country.
when our enormous export hal
ance disappears and when our domes-
tic markets are called upon to absorb
three or four hundred million dollars
worth of goods a month which they
have not been absorbing. we shall see

Production Is Low.
The speaker said that increased pro.
duction had been expected when the
five million men withdrawn from in.
dustry for the army and navy, re-
tutrned, but that it had not come.
DR.. Anderson declared bank expan.
sion has been 'more a passive result
than an active cause of the risins

of causes for initiation the country ha.
experienced, which he classified a.
