The nominating committee curnteiy oy well qualified peoplo you will naturally go to Silverthorn's Much has been said In opposition to the good roads bond bill that has no bearing whaterer on the measure and which could be designed only to poi son and prejudice the voters against It. That being the case, the following per tinent facts are submitted for tho In formation and thoughtful considera tion of the Impartial voter on the eve of the special election June 4th: This road bond bill proposes the Is suance of $6,000,000 twenty-five year four per cent bonds for the construc tion of a system pf state-wide hard surfaced highways. The roads to be Improved are designated In the bill and Include the main-traveled roads throughout tho state. Adequate revenue has been provided by statute for paying both interest and principal nnd retire the bonds at maturity without Increasing taxes. The money derived from the increased automobile licenses and the existing quarter-mill state road tax will pay the Interest and retire the bonds and lcavo a substautlal balance for tho construction of other roads not enum erated in the bond bill. The increased automobile licenso and the Btate road tax are provided by statutes now lu effect and will have to be paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are voted at the special election June 4th. Tho automobile owner 1b willing to pay tho Increased license. All that he asks is tbut the license money, which has to be paid anyway, bo expended in constructing the roads proposed In tho bond bill. Tho automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the Interest charges and retire the bonds, lie fails to see why there should be any opposition to the ex penditure of the money so provided iu the construction of good roads, in view of the fact that It Is his money that will pay for the Improvements. All of the money raised from the bonds will be expended under the di rection of the State Highway Commis sion, appointed by Governor Withy combe. The Commission has announc ed thnt in expending tho fund all sec tions of the state will bo considered Impartially. A dollar's worth of road construction for every dollar expended is guaranteed by the Commissioners, who have declared that they will pur chase one or more paving plunts and lay paving unless satisfactory bids are submitted by paving contractors. Or dinary coniinon-sense business princi ples will also govern the Commission ers In their work of road building. Scarcity of labor and the reasonable ness of war-time prices for materials will determine the time for Inaugurat ing work and the scope of actual road construction. Uond building will not be undertaken by the Commission un less conditions are favorable. Approval of the road bond bill June 4th will be an indorsement of a plan that insures for the state the construc tion of a system of hard-surfaced roads with funds already provided by law and without Increasing other taxes.
