American Vessel
is Sunk
New York, April 18 -The loss of the
American steamship Zexlanlia on the
British coast early this month was due
to striking a mine and two of the crew
were scalded to death, according to offi
cers of the vessel who arrived here to
day on an American steamship,
The Zealandia left New York on
March 18 for Liverpool. A cable dis
patch from London on April 7 said she
went ashore during a heavy gale, broke
in two and would be a total loss.
The Zealandia officers said they were
under orders from the ship’s owners
not to discuss the vessel’s destruction
and they refused to veil the circumstan
ces of the hitting of the mine. The
two men who died were not Ameri
cans.

Opponents of the road bond
contend that the proposed bond issue
will become an added burden to the
general taxpayer, As a complete an-
swer and refutation of this argument,
the Legislative Good Roads Commit
tee has incorporated the following
statement as a part of its argument
in support ot the bond bill which wil
be published in the official state pan)
phlet:
"We have ascertained from the rec
ords of the office of the Secretary of
State that the income from the pres
ent quarter mill tax is $220,000 per
annum; that the income from auto li
censes, based upon the present num
ber of automobiles at the increased
license rate effective August 1st, will
be not less than $310,000 per annum
to be used in paying interest and prin
cipal of bonds. The above funds will
be sufficient not only to pay the In
terest and the principal of the $6,000,-
000 bonds authorized by this act, but
will also pay the interest and princi
pal of the $1,819,280.55 in bonds author
ized to meet the government road ap
propriation. After paying these bonds
there will be a surplus of at least $2,-
793,402.66. Since 1911 the increase in
the number of automobiles in the
State of Oregon has been 33% per
cent per year. With the completion
of good roads this increase will natur
ally be larger. However, we have not
taken any increase into account but
have based our figures on the present
number ot automobiles.”
