Albany, Ore.-Oregon's sterilization
laws were held unconstitutional In ~
opinion of Percy II. Kelly and @ G.
Bingham, judges of the Third Judicial
District. The act of 1917 was held uf
constitutional because 1t deslgnates III
mates of state institutions only as sub

because 1t provides no court pr0'

PORT BARRE HIGHWAY
STANDS SLIM CHANCE
OF BEING REBUILT
Continued from page y

slightly over a mile apart-indicates
a disposition to favor certain local..
ties. The program also includes a
road leading from the Lawtell gravel
road to the parish line through Prair-
ie Ronde; another to the parish line
leading to VILE Platte. The road
from Washington to Grand Prairie is
constructed or almost so.
Some criticism is being made
ngainst the methods employed by the
hoard, in that it has sarted work on
lateral roads before completing the
main roads. This criticism might be
we'll grounded but little ground for any
strong opposition, in view of the fact
that last week the state highway de-
uartment advertised for bids for the
construction Of the north end Of the
Pershing highway from Washington
to the AVoyeIIes line, and the further
fact that preparations are being made
20 build the south end from Opelou.
ans to the Lafayette line.
What seems to be the main spoke in
the argument against the action OF
the board is the ordering Of the build
ing Of two roads in Bellevue, when
# is a known fact that only one OF
these roads is absolutely necessary
II the present time. unless the funds
we're sufficient to cover the entire pro
gram. To leave out the reconstruc-
ton Of the Port Barre road, or only
agree to rebuild it If the funds hold
out, is utter folly. state those who
are affected by what they call the
shOrtsighted policy OF the board.
Some of the severe critics Of the
road building system of the entire
parish state that the taxpayers have
voted approximately two million dol
lars; that the bonds have been sold
aume at the highest market price, that
some seven hundred thousand dollars
have been already expended and that
I'd TO the present we have very little
20 show for It. Some work has been
done on the Jefferson highway. some
On the Grand Prairie road, few
scattered spots here and there have
been touched up. the Arnaudville road
is well under way-all to represent
the huge sum spent.
These critics point on the fact that
the adjoining parish OF Lafayette built
its system Of highways in record time
and that it keeps them in the finest
repair always. It is still engeged in
building gravel roads and win soon
