GOOD ROAD POINTERS
The (road) bond Issue, should It be
voted, will bo taken care ot by the
quarter-mill statu road tax and auto
mobile licersi'B. Both must be paid
whether the bonds carry or not. To us
It seems the bond Issue should be fa
vored by all. Hermlston Herald.
"The attitude of the State Highway
Commission In reference to tho distri
bution of the 16,000,000 state bond Is
sue will be to show no undue prefer
ence to any particular section of the
state over another," comments the
Roseburg Review. "It Is their Inten
tion to co-operate 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
tally, benefited by the proposed bond
issue."
"Will It not bo far better to sell
these proposed bonds and bogln our
road work by a common-sense system
than to dribble It out In small sums
from year to year and In the end ac
complish nothing?" Inquires the Hood
River Glacier.
It Is time Oregon was getting out of
the mud, comments the Tillamook
Herald. California and Washington
have both mado large appropriations
for good roads during the past few
years, while Oregon has stood still.
The bonding bill which will eoino up
for consideration In June Is an eco
nomic business proposition.
The annual license on all automo
biles has been doubled. Tlip fees from
this source will bo adequnto to pay tho
interest and the principal of tho $0,
000,000 road bonds. Automobile own
ers are willing to pay the increased li
cense but ask that the money raised
therefrom shall be spent In road con
struction. Why not? They are going
to pay the bill. And it will not be
necessary to raise general taxes, cither.
Vote for the bonds.

This Interesting sidelight on the

directing heads of the White Em
presses Including the Empress of
Russia and Empress of Asia, the
fastest boats on the Pacific operat
ing from Vancouver, B. C, to Manila
and oriental points, Mr. Benjamin Is
regarded as an authority on ship
ping. "Prosperity has been rising like
flood ti.de In Japan. The Mikado's
government Is sympathetic toward
le shipping interest of his empire
and by subsidies Is doing all in his
power to encourage their growth.
Even Great Britain, the acknowl

present pace keeps up.
