BOND ISSUE CAUKY, OCT. 1L
Counts Saving on Automobiles 1"
Union Co. Alone to Amount to
Quarter of Million Dollars.
F. L. Mevers. cashier of the Ln
Grande National Bank, sees no rea
son why the good road bonds should
not have .the support of every pro
gressive and businesslike citizen of
Union county. Mr. Meyers has been
a resident of Union county for more
than twenty years and is thoroughly
conversant with the needs and re
quirements of this county and has u
reputation for careful and conserva
tive business methods and cool busi
ness judgment. Therefore his ndvisu
should carry weight with those who
have not thoroughly made up their
ind to vote for the good roads am1
-nodern transportation facilities.
F. I MEYERS, La Grande.
"The The good road problem to
me resolves itself to a simple mat
ter of business. The real question sim
mers down to the plain question. Does
t. pay? The problem is not a long one
and the answer is not difficult to
determine. We have but to consider
ho savintr on automobiles, and re
member that the life of a car is deter
mined by the condition of the roads
tver which it is driven. No one, with
any knowledge of the auto traffic,
will contradict this statement. In con
nection with this assersion, we should
remember that Union county has ap-
oroximately two thousand cars and
figuring that the average cost is one
housand dollars each we arc sate ill
assuming that the total value of the
automobiles in Union county will foot
up to $2,000,000. If we can increase
he life of the automobiles by twen-y-five
per cent, a quarter of a million
lollars is saved. This is an item

of the leaders of civic Improvement
in La Grande, still assumci the posi
tion that we must advance ninny; the
lines of community progress and en
terprise, and says he wanta the bond
iflsuo to pass and is willing to pay his
part of the bill. As wc all know, Mr.
Foley is one of our heavy taxpayers,
but he says money spent for roads is
well invented and advocates the insu
ance of the bond that we may have
good roads at once.
J. E. Foley, I -a Grande.
"I have resided in La Grande longer
than most people can remember and
during tlmt time I have never stood
in the way of progress nnd nt this
timo I can see no reason to change my
system. I fully realize1 that if the bond
isKue carries I will be called upon to
pay additional taxes, but I bdievf
that my property will be worth niorr

T BOND ISSUE
and anything thnt benefits them will
incidentally benefit the people of La
Grande, therefore the result will be
a better town and property will ad
vance in value. I am ulso interested
! in a financial way in Grand Kondv
valley land and nm of the opinion
that a system of good roads will make
my land holdings more valuable. We
ure going to be called upon to pay our
pait of the Mato bond issue regard
less of whether we got any roads or
not. I am business man enough to
want to arrange affairs ho that r part
of this money will be expended here
and I lo want to see that we get all
the automobile tax money back we
can. If we fail to pass the bond issue
we will get neither roads nor our
money back.
Union county in one1 of the most
beautiful and fertile counties In thi
state, and just why w should hesl
late to vole to provide ourselves n
system of good roads which wo need
so badly is n question which I fttr
hardly able to answer.
Kvery Town Will Profit,
There comes a time almost every
winter when the roads are practically
impassable, and there is a considerable
time each winter when wc run get
but half .value for the time we spend
on the roads. This is too great n waste
to suit me. Again, I rim fully aware of
what the tourist travel means to this
valley. There is not a town in the val
ley which will not profit by tourist
automobiles which will pass through,
if we provide the roads necessary for,
through traffic by connecting with the
national highway. Let un vote in
favor of forging ahead instead of
sitting idly by and letting tho pro
