But what are the facts? The ibill provides a $6,000,000 bond issue. The state stands good for this. And BONDS ARE ISSUED. They bear 4 per cent interest. This would make $240,000 interest the first year. Autos now are assessed at their cash value and pay taxes the same as wag ons and horses. In addition to this tihey must pay a license fee. The Su preme Court will likely hold that this is double taxation which will knock out any revenue from that source, for When a license gets so high that it acts as a tax it is unconstitutional and should be. Now 1,000 miles of hard surface road nt $16,000 per mile means 16 mil lion dollars. In addition to this the counties aire required by the bill to provide the base of crushed rock and furnish the bridges which figured at $10,000 per mile is another 10 million. 1,500 miles of post road at $12,000 per mile will be another 18 million. 600 miles of forest roads at $10,000 per mile means another 6 million or a total of 50 million dollars if the advocates of the bond issue get what they want. Now here is the joker. The War ren Construction patents will run out on these respective dates: Nineteen patents for bituminous pavement on May 5, 1920; one basic patent June 4, 1918; one flush coat patent March 11, 1919; two other basic patents May 5, 1920. Don't you see the Warren peo ple want to get in as much work on their protected patented article as pos sible before their patents run out, for after they run out anybody is allowed to use them and not bo required to pay royalties. Remember the taxpayer pays the royalty. Did you know that John D. Rockefeller has his offices at 26 Wall street, and that the Warren Construction people also have an of fice there. Doesn't that make you shut one eye, scratch your head and say: "Oh, I see." These bonds run 20 years, one-twentieth to be paid each year. We pay $240,000 the first year in interest; next year wo pay $228,000 interest; next year we pay $224,600 In interest. Don't you Ree that in three years we pay $092,600, or about one-ninth of the whole ibonded indebt edness, besides we also pay $ in principal. Then r.fter the years are up we have yet to pay $4, 144,750 together with 4 per cent in terest on same. 1 T showed above that in three years we will have paid $692,600 in inte.-ept.

There is yet 17 years more. 1 figured up how much interest we would pay in seven years. ; It would be $1,456,055.30. That last 30 cents will be used to pay all the cost of adver tising the bonds, the paper, printing, clerk hire, office force, railroad fare, pullman fare, meals, positage, etc., don't you know. Of course this item of advertising, etc., is a very small item. Perhaps I shouldn't have men tioned it. in fact I really believe ! made a mistake in mentioning it be cause l notice the Bond Issue ndvo cates did not even mention it in any of their arguments.' How strange. How about paying for roads as we go? Eerybody says pay cash and you will get more for your money. If you owed the Warren Consbruction Co, bill they would advise you to pay cash and got a discount don't you know. But when we spend the public money, why just issue bonds and pay 4 per cent interest for 20 years. Its easy to pay back you know. I note the Bond Issue advocates say in their argument: "Look the Issue Square in the Face." You know when a hypnotist wants to put you to sleep he says: "Look me square in the face." Well now if you want to ibe put to sleep all well and good, but later in the night I am afraid you will have a nightmare, and the next morn ing an awful headache when you fig ure how much you have to put up to pay that bond interest.

(To the Edi tor) I just want to say a few words regarding the water situation in this 55,2!i0 ; valley. I do not want to give informa threejtion but Tather I would like to hear from some one who is capable of writ ing on the subject. It has been estimated that there are between 10,000 and 15,000 acres under water now, that there will be at least 5000 acres which will not produce a crop this year on account of high water. This should average 20 bush els of wheat to acre or 100,000 bush els. It doesn't look as though this would sell for less than $150,000 this fall. This is for this year. We do not know but what it will bo the same ;next year and the year after. A few years ago Walter Pierce, E. S. Norris, the Conleys and others tried to start a movement to buy a dredg i ing machine and dredge the river channel at Elgin. They seemed to ! think this would do away with prac tically all overflowing. The plan i failed. I I would like to hear from Walter ! Pierce as to why this plan failed. Would like to know it the plan is feasible, what it will cost., what it will save for the farmers in Union .county and any other ideas he wishes to advance. There is a fellow here farming 800 acres who got a crop last year, the first in four years. God alone knows I when ho will get another one. J The nation is hollering for food. Surely there is some one here who has brains enough to solve the situation. Respectfully, HUGH M'CALL.
