The Roosevelt Highway

1t is proposed to road district of the
counties along the coast and issue bonds match
the states $2500000 and construct the Roosevelt highway
The theory that the timber pay the bulk of the
taxes in the counties affected they would pay most of the
cost Of the highway The bonds however voted by the
people on the condition that the federal government match
the staenot that the counties substitute for Uncle SAM
Before any such scheme is adopted it would be well to
have made to determine the cost of the proposed
Roosevelt highway for it raverses the difficult portion
of the state for roadbuldng-hgh bluffs alternating with
lakes and rivers It's cost will probably be several times the
$5OO0000 expenditure for certainly be constructed
for low cost the Pacific highway and the latter will
cost double that figure.
Another thing to be considered is the fact that of
the coast counties have already bonded thmees to the
limit to construct portions ofh is highway that those
counties that have not spent their money would benefit
unfairly over those that have.
Any scheme that proposes an additional tax upon the
timber will be vigorously combatted by the timber interests
and will have to be legally sound to escape being hedup
indefinitely in the courts The legislative delegations
may be trying to satisfy their constituencies by bluff
solving the problem but it would appear that the real so
ton is to force Che Oregon delegation to national
cooperation for what should really be part of the system of

A Great Digger


Of course, Benny Badger mad
the best or reasons for living on
the high, dry plains. There he had
for neighbors plenty Of ground
squirrels and prairie dogs. And
it is likely that he enjoyed their
company much more than they
did his.
II anyone had asked them, those
little wild people would no doubt
have confessed that they wished
Benny Badger was somewhere else.
But their wishes meant nothing to
Benny-if he knew anything Of
them. Although he couldn't help
noticing that his small neighbors
hurried to their homes whenever
they caught sight of him, Benny
never took the hint and went away.
On the contrary when he spied
prairie dog or a ground squir-
rel disappearing into his burrow
Benny was more than ready to go
right in after him.
Now the tunnels that led to the
houses of those smaller folk were
too small to admit anybody as
bulky as Benny Badger. But that
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-02-16

difficulty never hindered Benny.
Digging was the easiest thing ne
did. He had a powerful body
short, stout legs, and big feet,
which bore long, strong claws
And when he started to dig his
way into somebody else's home he
certainly did make the dirt fly
He was so fond of digging that
he even dug countess holes of ms
own, just for the fun it gave him
so far as anybody could find
out And if he had only left
other folks holes alone some OF
his neighbors would not have OBJ
iected to his favorite sport. For
more than one fox and coyote had
been known to make his home in
a hole dug by Benny Badger And
though they never took the trouble
to thank him for saving them
work. they often chuckled about
his odd way of having fun, and re
marked among themselves that
Benny must be a stupid fellow.
If they really thought that, they
made a great mistake. TO be
sure, at anything except digging
he was slow and awkward. He
was TOO heavy and squat to be spry
on his feet--to chase and catch
his more uimble neighbors. But
no one that knew much about
Benny Badger would have said
that his wits were dull. They
We're sharp. And so, too, were
his teeth, which he never hesitated
to use in fight.
Left alone, Benny Badger
when he wasn't too hungry-was IA
peaceable person But if a dog
ever tried to worry him Benny
had a most unpleasant way OF
Selling his annoyer with his power
full jaws and holding the poor
creature as if he never intended
to let him go.
Cornered Benny knew no such
thing as fear He had the heart
of lion, and jaws like a steel
trap. And no wise dog ever let
Benny get good, firm grip on
him.
Usually no one saw Benny Bad
ger except at night. He seldom
left his den in the daytime except
to sun himself. And even then
not many noticed him. Though
ne did not hide when anyone sur
prised him while taking a sun
oath, he had a trick of lying flat |
n the grass without moving. And |
t took sharp eye to spy him
when he lay low in that fashion.
Curled up asleep, with his long
ur on end, he looked too COM
ortable to disturb. At least,
hat was what the ground squir-
els thought. And if one of those
usy little fellows ever paused to

the most he could ask Of the Repub-

Of the navy. The entire, administration
sighed with relief when at last he went
of to lead his Rough Riders.
In five months he was back from
Cuba In the far more troublesome role
Of a popular hero. The New York ma
chine was In such sore need Of good
name to pull It through the pending
election that 1t met him at the wharf
and humbly laid at his feet the Repub-
lican nomination for governor. But In
the goyernorship, he realized the worst
fears Of Boss Plat that he harbored,
as the boss naively wrote him, "vari-
Gus altruistic IDEAS" and that he was
"a little loose on the relations OF capl-
tai and labor. on trusts and combina-
lions and the right Of man
to run his own business In his own
way"
The only thing to do with this wild
engine was to turn the switch and
shunt It on to the side track Of the
vice presidency. Roosevelt loudly pro-
tested that he wanted to be reelected
governor. And while Plat was trying
to push him on to the national ticket,
Mckinley and Hanna just as earnestly
tried to push him back on to Plat.

rose up and roared his nomination.
