Mr. E- W. Eastman, in his article
in your paper of the 16th inst. says
that he is stror.g'y opposed to the
Road Bond Issue, immediately start
ing out with the insinuation that the
auto taxes will not take care of these
bond?, but saying that if they do it
would be unfair to the owners. This
is rank unreason, as the auto tax may
be figured out by any high school boy
proving that it will twice pay for
46.000,000 bonds, interest and ail,
within 25 years, on any reasonable
basis of computing the future and
the auto owners will be the bene
ficiaries to a far greater extent than
the small annual license fee.
Then he seems to be horribly op
pressed with the fact these bond3 will
bear 4 per cent interest until paid,
and that this figures up to a consid
erable sum in a few years, plainly
forgetting to consider the savings

license fee is not a tax and as such 1 1
