Is As soon as the general public undr- BtundB that the extra tax on automo biles will pay for the hard-surfacing : of the highways In the proposed trunk lines over the state, friends for the good roads movement Increase. The title of the bill gave It a black eye as soon as It appeared. The word "bond" cared them stiff. It Is now being understood that the road money that has been available In the different road districts Is not Interfered with under the proposed plan, but Is paid out of the lnrreased assessment on automobiles. The bond Issue then be comes simply the state loaning Its credit to get the paid roads now, and let the extra auto tax pay for them as they aro being used. The proposition Is growing In fuvor as it Is under stood. Hubbard Enterprise.

OH'S MUSIC STORE ROSEBURG, OREGON ' GGCO ROAD POINTERS The (road) bond Issue, should It be voted, will be taken care of by the quarter-mill state road tax and auto mobile licenses. Both must be paid whether the bonds carry or not. To us It seems the bond issue should be fa vored by all. Ilermlston Herald. "Tho attitude of tho State Hlnhway Commission In reference to tho distri bution of the $6,000,000 state bond is sue will be to show no undue prefer ence to any particular section of tho sluto over another," comments the Itoseburg Review. "It is their inten tion to co-opcrato with all the counties throughout the Btate, not with a few, as many have been led to believe through opponents to the bond Issue. Douglas County should not lag a mo ment until some action Is taken where by our road interests will be 'mater ially benefited by the proposed bond Issue." "Will -It not bo fur better to sell these proposed bonds and begin our road work by a common-sense system than to drili.blo It out In small sums from year to year and In tho end ac compllsh nothing?" inquires the Hood Itlver Glacier. ! j It Is time Oregon waB getting out of mo mud, comments tne Tillamook Herald. California and Washington havo both made large appropriations for good ronds during tho past Tew years, while Oregon has stood still. The bonding bill which will come up for consideration in June is au eco nomic business proposition. Tho annual llriinse on all automo biles has been doubled. The fees from th 1b source will be ndequate to pay the Inleresc and tho principal of tho Jii. 000,000 rood bonds. Automobile own ers aro willing to pny the Increased li cense but n;ik that tho money raised therefrom shall he spent In road con struction. Why nol? They aro goln:t to pay tho bill. And It will not be necessary to raise general taxes, either. Vote for the boitilH. Krom a series of investigations, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has found that, fullowlng tho Improvement of the main market roads, the increase In the selling price of tlllnbln firm lands served by tho roads has amount ed to from one lo three times the total cost of the Improvements. The construction of hnid-surfai'id roads that will. enable the farmer lo reach tho Columbia Ulver with hi grain and other products will give the producers of Hasten) Oregon the full benefit of wuter competition In mar keting their prnductB and will ultl mutely bring about a reduction of ex cesslve freight rates that are now h erfect over the various branch railroad lines on which the farmer Is now de pendent for transportation. The fuet that the United States Is a: war with a for.-icn foe only furnisher nn additional argument In support o: the good roads bond bill. Improved and siivieenble highways are a mili tary necessity In time of war. In their present condition, even the main trunk roads In this stnte are entirely Inade quate to meet the situation should the Pacific Coast ever be attacked by un friendly forces. Good roads nre not only desirable In time of peace but an positively Indispensable when the country'ia In a state of war. Commenting on the selection of Her bert Nilnn a State Highway Knglneer, It.

The Commission Is to be complimented upon their choice and the state upon Its good fortuuo in securing Mr. Nunn's services." Owners of automobiles will be re quired to pay the 'inert used llrense fee whether the road bond bill passes or not. Ou the other hand.
