A million year as overhead and ad
ministration for road building in Ore
Gon.
y million a year for salaries and
3unkets and automobiles and chauf-
feurs and midwinter tours in Califor-
mia and Eastern trips as part of the
road building processes in oregon.
along with the hunting trips and fish
;ing trips and week end trips and sea-
'side outings and trips by state en-
ployes to get stenograph;c report of
Walter Pierce'S political speeches, all
In state-owned Cadllacs, state owned
Wintons, state e-owned Hudsons, state
owned Bucks and all the other state
owned touring-cars.
The engineer of the state high way
department, taking two assistants and
chauffeur along, went in one of the
departments state owned Cadillacs for
a midWinter inspection tour through
California.
Just why three engineers and assist
ant engineers and the chauffeur were
needed to look over the California
roads in the sunny midwinter time in
the Golden State is not revealed. Per-
haps the Portland mud squad can take
time off its peewec fight on Pierce to
explain.
Perhaps it can also explain why the
engineer and assistant engineers re-
turned to Oregon by passenger train
at the expense of the state highway
fund. derived from high licenses on
Fords and other privately owned au-
tomobles and an ever growing gaso-
line tax which the automobile owner
has to pay. The bill for the trip was
approved by Governor Clcott to whom
a full report of the journey was made
on the second day of last February.
That the administration, engineer
ing and overhead of the state highway
department is Approximately $4,000
a month" was the statement of Simon
Benson in his letter of resignation
from the highway commission. as read
by Walter NJ. Pierce at Junction City.
Ninety thousand a month is $l,0S0,-
600 year. 1t is more than the entire
cost of the state government a few
years ago. That the overhead and at
tendalt expense in merely directing
the building of roads in Oregon, to say
nothing of the money that has gone
into roads, should have grown to an
actual cost greater than the entire cost
of the state government. is, to say the
least, almost Incredible Yet there is
Simon Benson's own statement in his
letter of resignation, that the admin
istration, engineering and overhead ac-
count of the highway department is
now approximately 100000 a month"
II 1t took three engineers and assist
ant engineers to take a look at the
California highways in the mid winter
touring season, and if they returned
by railroad train instead of with the
chauffeur in the state-owned Cadillac,
in how many other wasteful ways are
the state road funds being spent?
The managers of Mr.. Olcott clam
ored for, howled for, shrieked for Mr.
Pierce to point out where savings
could be made Of public money in Ore
gon. Mr. Pierce is giving them some
thing they asked for.
And, due to the perfidity of some
of the contractors who are now sub
scribing big money "to beat Pierce"
some of the state highways have to be
rebuilt within year or two after
completion!
