L R. RONEY for Commissioner
In Hubmitting my candidacy for the nomination of County Com-
iiiiHHÎoner of Lane county on tin- republican ticket at the pri
mary election to lie held on May H», 1022, I deaire to make cer
tain apeeil'ic and definite Htatements relative to what I propoae
to asaiat in nccomplitihing.

tin* road and bridge program of
Pam* county.
Bridge Building
I have followed the business of
bridge building for more than 40
years.
I f alerted I shall m yself
•nifierinteml with the assistance o f
a competent foreman— the eonst ruc
tion o f bridges in Lam* county. T
can do so without Interfering
the
least with the other duties o f tin*
o ffic e ami thereby save to the tax
payers o f Lain* county the salary
now paid to the bridge siiperiuten
dent. 1 am fully conscious o f my
ability to build bridges much cheap
er than is now being done under
the present management.
Extravagant Expenses
It is my candid opinion llmt the
progress of Pune county depends
largely upon the development o f
our county road system; therefore,
we should at all times guard against
»‘ Xl ravagant expenses and strive to
obtain a d ollar’s worth of work or
merchandise for each dollar ex
pended. Under the present mining«»'
ment our roads and bridges are, in
my opinion, costing entirely too
nmcli money ami overhead expenses
arc out of all proportion to acHinl
construction accomplished. 1 am de
cidedly in favor of a less number
o f road and bridge bosses, there
fore, more ami better roads and
bridges for tin* same amount «*x-
|M‘micd. For the past several years
Pam* county hus employed *a bridge
siipcnat»‘ iideiit at $1/5.00 per month
ami a road superiiitendeift at $225.00
per month. Each o f these superin
tendents has a foreman on each job
under construct ion and these for»*
men receive a good salary. I f elect
ed it is my purpose to see that the
taxpayers o f Pnfie county shall r«*
reive substantial tax reduction by
reason o f th»* absolute elimination
o f ail superfluous bosses and super-
flufms tax »Miters to be found on
Pane county’s pay roll.
Special Road Tax Fund
County-Owned Cars and Trucks
A ll sections o f Lane county should
receive their just pro|Mirtion in the
expionlit lire o f road money Special
road tax money should la- used only
by the taxpayers who voted that
tax. 1 am unalterably opposed to
the sh iftin g or transfer o f such
funds a fter they have been voted
and assigned to the budget.
The fiv e county-owned automo
biles and two or more freight trucks
should be used for county business
only, not for pleasure, not for pri
vate business or by the families o f
county o ffic ia l« or employes. The
un official us«» o f these county-owned
ears, together with the consequent
consumption o f county-owned gaso
line, should be positively prohibited.
Road Maintenance
I mu heartily in favor o f road
niaiuteuaaee. The roads heretotnre
constructed should lie k**pt in good
repair and patrolled by iiumi known
to be vigilant in the enforcement
o f the law regulating the speed of
automobiles and tin overloading o f
freight t rinks. Them* highly de
structive abuses of our public roads
can only be currented by the con
stunt and systmiuitic attention of a
vigorous and vigilant road patrol.
Road and Bridge Program
I do not desire to obtain a single
vote by deception or through mis
apprehension, therefor»; it is right
and proper that 1 should frankly

What Is Wrong With Williams?
Williams lias no chant...... .....lining National Chairman and
running the presidential campaign in 1Ü24, or even I lie West
ern end of it.
The reason is that tin National Committee seems extremely
unwilling to trust Williams with the management of even the
Pacific Coast pari of the national campaigns. Foi instance,
in 191H, when a Regional Director for the Toast was selected,
the Commttee turned down Williams in favor of Raymond
Benjamin of San Francisco. Then, in 1!)20, when Hauling was
running, Williams was again ignored and Elmer E. Dover of
Tacoma was chosen to conduct the Campaign on the Coast.
What is wrong with Williams!
Is Williams Loyal to Nominees?
