Kdlior KhM Orogonlan: After due consideration of the bonding biU Farmers Union Local So. 21, of Pendleton. Ore., panned a reso lution again tit the bonds, assigning the following reasons for the action: The Klx Million IHtJIar I load Bond Ifwue and Highway Tax. The Htute -of Oregon today is free of bonded debt. This amendment places us upon the threshold of an era of financial bondage. By our vote June 4th we shall decide whether Oregon an a atate I to retain Ita fi nancial liberty or whether we are to enahackle ourselves with a burden of utate debt of which this six mil lions is but merely a first payment to be followed by future demands of multiplied millions more in order to complete the roads already projected, To enter upon a bonding; scheme In vol vina; possibilities of such enormous future debts would be a daring enter' prise under any circumstances and in a time of peace. To do so now when our cities and many of our school districts are already heavily bonded. when four Oregon counties are .bond ed to the limit for roads which were never completed, and when the Uni ted ' States government Is about to sale for a preliminary war credit of five billion dollftrs. is to pass beyond the bonds of discretion and to enter upon a course which must be regard d as reckless folly. Nor is the fi nancial obligation of the bonds the only reason or the principal reason why they should he defeated at this time. Above the financial consid eration Is the need for labor to sup ply food for the civil population and to maintain our military establish ment. An army of two million men are to be placed In tratnln, and still a larger force w-l be needed at home to supply these fighting men with war material. Somebody also must provide fur feeding and clothing the whole population of the country both military and civil. Not only so but Klf- preservation demands that we continue to supply the Kuropean al lies with the necessities which they must Import. In order to maintain their military campaigns. Therefore. ; the state should not under all these circumstances, when food prices are souring through lack of labor, go Into tht labor market wholesale, demand ing help which must be taken from field and shop and mine for a thing s u n essen t in I as a f e w h n n rt red miles of hard surfaced w aeon road paralleling railroads already con structed and e i nipped. If these hard surfaced mads were to be laid out with a view to meeting military demands, they might be justified as a military necessity. But the fact Is that ths) binding act was j not drawn with any f uoh object , Ip f view, and consequently no provision Is made for effective co-operation be tween the State Highway Commission and the. Federal authorities. It is mandatory upon the said Highway Commission to hard surface s: ch E3 2 Sr.-- roads under the bonding act as shall be graded and macadamized by the counties, respectively, regardless of their possible utility. At a time like this when the ca pacity of the country Is strained to the utmost to supply necessities for ourselves and our companions In arms. It Is believed that we should rely on railroads and rivers as trunk highways wherever these are already provided, and that wagon road con struction should lead from farm, forest and mine, to these existing highways. The talk made about paved roads costing nothing, and if they should happen to cost something, that the expense would be borne by automo bile owners, will prove a disappoint ment, for it la understood that the highest legal authority believes' the automobile tax to be unconstitution al. The bonding act provides also that state money shall not be used In any county except the four coun ties already bonded to the limit for any purpose except for the hard sur face. The counties will have to pro vide grades and macadam base, which In many instances will equal the cost of the hard surface. Each promise by the Highway I Commission for local or branch, roads not included in the original bill will either prove a disappointment for those relying upon it, or else all such additions will pile up further bonded debt. The provision in this preliminary bonding act that Multnomah county shall not participate in the road Im provement to be provided for, car ries with It no assurance that the proceeds of future bond sales shall not be expended in Multnomah county. Then again, the very fact that this bonding act excludes Multnomah county may wreck the whole scheme through the possible unconstitution ality of an act discriminating against that county. . u . Exclusive of this six million bond ing act large provision is made for road construction during the next five years. The legislature provided for the sale of a mrillon eight hun dred thousand dollars in bonds, to be used by the State Highway Commis sion. Also the automobile license tag and the existing mlllage road tax Is to be administered by said com mission. This bond -issue may be ex pended, dollar for dollar. In co-oper ation with the Federal government upon forest roads and post roads if the commission uses tne addi tional four or five million dollars al ready fn their hands by building post and freight roads economically, there is no doubt they will be given all the funds they can use Intelligent ly, as the people of Oregon all want good roads.
