will be finished during the season of 1917, thus affording one of
the most wildly beautiful automobile drives in the world. The

proposed to pave them, which work should be completed in about

The American people have had lour years of Woodrow Wil
son; beginning today there will be lour years more, if in Cod's
providence the President and the Nation shall survive. In his
first term the world has been upset, but the I'nilcd Stales has
stood firm and undaunted in the tempest of passion and ruin
which has involved other great nations, says the Portland Ore
gonian. How it will lie at the close ol' his second term, we do not
of course know. We can only venture to hope that all will be well.
We are not pessimistic, nor alarmed, nor without faith; but we
cannot be unmindful of the heavy clouds upon tin' international
sky, nor of the direct and avowed purpose of one great power to
pursue its law less aims regardless ol our w ishes, or interests, or
rights, and unmindful of the mutual comity which has long ex
isted, and of the explicit treaties for fair dealing which have
existed between us.
It has not been an easy thing to .say what to do for our own
peace, protection and prestige during the past thirty mouths. We
Ireely concede all that. We cannot e -n guess what would have
been our situation if the Presidential policies had been dilletvnt.
We know only that they weiv what they were and licit we are
where we are. There is no use or excu.-e now for regrets or re
proaches, or vain searching of hearts and minds about past mis
takes, if they were mistakes. It is only important, patriotic, vital,
wise, to aid now in the extrication ol the Nation wit!-, honor I rem
the tremendous, dilemma which stares us in the lace. j
President Wilson began his first term in an atmosphere ol
profound peace; he starts his second under the llireat ol w at w ith
a powerful nation. He has sought in evt ry way to avoid a clash;.'
it has been slowly, but irresistibly, forced upon him and the poo- ,
pie that there must sooner or later be a final reckoning with Cor-;'
many. I'miuestionably we are on the verge of war with Ccrm.iny : j '
that it vvill or can be anything more for the present than a guerilla ,
warfare with the Herman submarines is not probable; but that in
the end it may reach the proportions of a colossal conuVl h hkely
enough. , .,, ,, , '

Whether or not the proposed $0,000,000 bond issue for road
building is voted next June, Oregon is about to enter upon the
greatest era of modern road construction it has ever experienced.
Under the existing conditions this result is practically unavoid- .Mount Scott on the east side of the lake, on a grade that can subse- i 4 to .enter the engineering de
able. The three adjoining states, Washington, Idaho ana l an
J'ornia, are building hard surface road systems on an extensive
scale, and this state must necessarily fall into line. It is most
likely, however, that if the conditions are fully understood, this
bond issue will be voted. In the first place, if these bonds are
voted it will give a great impetus to the road building movement
throughout the state. Secondly, the taxes to be paid will be just
as high in case these bonds are defeated as they will be if they
are carried. Since it will not add anything to the tax burden
thanks to the tax limitation lawthe vote should be overwhelm
ingly in favor of good roads. The country people should be prac
tically unanimous in favor of this measure, as they will be especi
ally benefitted. The cities and towns of the state pay more than
half the taxes and all the road fund will be applied outside of
these municipalities. The town people should favor it because of
the great help good roads will be to traffic conditions and in
creased business. As taxes will be no higher it will be much bet
ter to have good roads than bad ones.
According to the terms of the measure to be voted upon, the
proceeds of this $(i,0()0,000 bond issue are to be devoted mainly to
hard surfacing the principal highways of the state the counties
to furnish the grades and foundation therefor. It is estimated
that there are a little over 1200 miles of these oiain state high
ways, of which over 100 miles are in Douglas County. Hence it is
only reasonable to expect that at least one-twelfth of this ifli.OOO,
()0(i (which is $500,000) will be applied to the improvement of our
roads. At $10,000 per mile that stun would hard-surface a 10-foot
roadway for a distance of 50 miles. If only nine feet wide was
paved, $500,000 would give us over 75 miles of hard surfaced
roads. It would certainly be a line thing for Douglas County to
secure that much modern highway, available for trallic every day
in the year, without any increase of taxation. It is a most desir
able object to work for.
The unpaid railroad grant land taxes, which are likely to be
paid this vear, will provide means for making the grades and
foundation for this road in Douglas County. A considerable addi
tional sum will also be available from the Federal road fund for
the improvement of the Ilosoburg-Myrtle Point road, if the proper
elfort is put forth to secure il. Plans for this purpose should be
taken up without delay, as that fund is not dependent upon the
success or failure of the proposed $0,0110,000 bond issue.
The Federal appropriation for roads in Oregon will amount
to $1,800,000 during the next live years. The present state road
tax of one-fourth mill now amounts to about $220,000 annually
find the auto license tax to about $.) 10,000. Together these three
funds will amount to nearly $1,500,000 in the next live years.
This does not take into consideration any probable increase ol
taxable property values or the rapidly increasing number of auto
mobiles in the 'state. The latter is now growing at the rate of
,,l,ont () nor cent .'innuallv. Thus, at the end of the next live years,
without anv increase of taxation, the state will have a road fund
of probably more than $1,000,000 annually with w hich to continue
tl construction of its proposed highway system. P.y voting this
Sti.000,000 bond issue now the work can begin without delay ant
will be well advanced by the time live years have elapsed. Let':
have good roads just as soon as possible.
