Mr. Butler stated that he had the greatest consideration for citizens who who were prone to oppose the bond issue because of the burden of high taxes. He cited the oppressiveness of the nationwide burden of high taxes, but declared that the bond issue, as a tion was unqualifiedly opposed to the ! matter of cold business analysis should proposed 1866.000 road bond issue, to be submitted to the electors next Tues day, was refuted at a meeting of citi zens at Pine Grove Grange hall Friday night. C. A. Heed, chairman of the Mount Hood Loop Road committee of the Po mona Granire, in addressing ihe meet ing stated that an clement of his fel lows, while they believed in the pro posed trunk highway through the val- ey, connecting the Columbia River and Mount Hood Loop Highways'and at the same time furnishing a communitv market route, were specifically on- posed to the location of the trunk road as surveyed. Mr. Reed, along with Al. W. Peters, another representative orchardist and Grange member, de clared that those who viewed the loca tion of the market road as erroneous were withholding support of the bonds until they were convinced that no route, more feasible or practical, could be secured. They added that such con viction would convert them to a sup port of the bonds. Indications were given at the meet ing that for the most part the element represened by Mr. Reed and Mr. Peters had been made to see the practical merits of the road as surveyed. Fri day afternoon, accompanied by S. Ben son, ex-chairman of the State High way Commission, who is an ardent supporter of the bond issue and who incidentally, as a result of his con struction of the Columbia Gorge Ho tel, will become next year one of the largest taxpayers of Hood River coun ty, a committee of citizens who oppose the original location went over the route. Engineering rules, necessitat ing the route chosen, were pointed out to them. Mr. Benson, who was present for the meeting, was introduced by Howard Shoemaker, master of the Pine Grove Grange and presiding officer, as the father of the Columbia River High way. Mr. Benson recalled that he an peared before Hood River electors seven years ago, campaigning for the Columbia River Highway bonds. He cited how every man in the county was proua ot the great scenic route. although some opposition had devel oped then, but Mr. Benson said that the present opportunity was far more important in that it would provide on a u-5l) basis with the state a trunk road through the valley itself. He pointed out that state funds available for county aid were limited and that such another opportunity might be far re moved to the future. "If you do not vote these bonds," he said, "you are making a very serious mistake and one for which you will be very sorry in the future." A. I. Mason, spokesman for those who fought the Columbia River High way bond issue and who is now a ring leader among those who are unqualifi edly opposing the present road bond movement and who are proposing in stead that the county spurn the state's offer and bond to the limit for con struction of mails located by home folk, created some sensations when he declared that the Mount Hood Ixiop would be built, whether Hood River county participated in the proposed program or not. He declared that the county could turn down the bond issue as now proposed, later select a route of their own choice and demand that the State Highway Commission meet them on a 50-50 basis, i'ortland citizens. Mr. Mason charged, will whin the ommission into line and force its members to meet the local terms. John B. Yeon, member of the High way Commission, although calmly and without display of passion, rebuked Mr. Mason, characterizing his scheme as evidence of smallness. He declared that he knew the Hood River standard of citizenship well enough to recognize that such a suggestion was by no means representative of the Hood n; ii ,t i mver vaney. mr. mason a veiled in timation of ulterior motives on the part of the State Highway Depart ment, created keen indignation among members of the audience. Mr. Yeon in his address declared that the construction of the trunk road would place the Hood River valley on the map. He cited how the proposed trunk road in connection with the for est portion of the Loop Highway and Columbia River Highway would place Portland on a hot summer day within a two and a half hour journey of the snowbanks ot Mount Hood. Mr. Yeon called attention of the audience to the fact that Hood River county, from state and federal government had re ceived $2,500,000 of funds, when their expenditure to date reached only 178,000. "The tourist crop," said Mr. Yeon, "is a cash crop and one of the best in the country, do you want to cultivate it? Ninety per cent of the population of IjOS Angeles came first as tourists of a few months. We will experience a similar growth of population here. "It is the duty of every public spir ited Hood River citizens to spend a week of his time between now and June 7 in working for this bond issue, in explaining it to his neighbors. Af ter all the success of the bonds is merely a matter of education." Mr. Yeon recalled how, when Mult nomah county was Moating her original bond issue for the Columbia River Highway and other paved route.' the plans were bitterly opposed by State Master Spence of the state Grange. uo not allow a little ODDOflitloo to discourage you'" he said. If for no other reason. Mr. Yeon declared, Hood River citizens should support the bond issue because S. Ben son was working for its suDDort and pointing out the practicability of the plans tor the trunk road. He recited how Mr. Benson had made possible the Columbia River Highway and how in a spirit of pioneering for the public good he had erected the Columbia Gorge hotel, on which he would be unable to realize a dollar profit. M. (). I'.i.e, rt : i. -t nting the citizens of the Upper Valley, who express sun- port of the bond issue practically unan imously, cibfd how Hood River county, I although one of the smallest in the i state, has been particularity fortunate in securing state funds in the construc tion of roads that relieved the vallev from former isolation. He treated the proposal of the Pomona Grange resolu tion to decline the offer of state aid and locate the road b county efforts as impossible and impractical. Mr. Boe recalled how several years seo an effort was launched to secure bonds for valley trunk route. About 100 or- , hardists, he said, were approached on the matter of location. A visualiza tion, he said, of their suggestions for the location of the trunk road would have produced something similar to a cubist's picture of Oom Paul's whis kers. Truman Butler declared that those opposing the bonds on the matter of locaton, in a measure had lost their' sense of proportion. receive the support of Hood River citi zens as a matter of public investment that would bring in dividends. E. 0. Blanchar asked to correct an impression that had been left by Mr. Mason, who preceded him on the floor. The latter had intimated that the rights of way would cost a greater sum than anticipated. Mr. Mason said that much was made of the gift of orchard ists whose places would merely be crossed by the highway, but he main tained that growers who would sacri fice many trees, would demand heavy payment. Mr. Blanchar has just re turned for a visit with officials to the the place of F. A. Massee, Willow Flat grower, whose place will be traversed for some distance by the road. He told of Mr. Massee's offer to donate a right of way. Mr. Blanchar decried the feeling of suspicion that was being main tested lrom an element ot citizens who intimate ulterior motives of State Highway officials. During the course of the meeting questions were asked by Roy D. Smith and Aug. Guignard. It was also brought out that those opposing the location of the road thought that it should pass through Parkdale, Odell and Van Horn, vallev shipping points, instead of merely skirting them. State Highway Engineer Dunn, who declared that J. H. Scott, locating engineer, recognized as one of the best men on the coast for such work, had placed the route in the only place from an en gineering standpoint. The valley cen ters were omitted, he said, in order to avoid adverse grade and to eliminate congestion at the market centers dur ing harvest season. He cited that the small towns of the Willamette valley between Portland and Salem now ex- presed the wish that they were slightly removed from the main tralla J. H. Fredricv, who arranged for the meeting, closed the Pine Grove session. He stated that he had been authorized by H. F. Davidson and J. R. Nuna maker, two of the valley's heaviest taxpayers, to announce their hearty sup)ort of the road on the Scott survey. Mt. Home Camp 344 2nd and 41 li Fr days old K. of P. hall.
