In tho limit of InduhtodnoMi to pro

to complete tho Stnto road program.
Ih the Btatomunt that Is made that
this will IncriHiKO laxou. This Is not
truo.
The fact Is,4 that tho lueronso In
auto lIcoiiBos, of which ovoryono who
owns a ear Ih iiwaro, will pay for
tlirno bonds, luterost and all.
No ono living In Knstern Oregon,
who Ih loyal to this suction of thu
Mtato, who wants to nee this section
develop will voto against permitting
HiIh Increase In Indebtedness, when
tho n'utolst Ih to pay the bill. Why
uliould n n yon ii voto against this
iiiQUBiira? Ask that quostlon your
self bBforo you vote. And ask this
ono, too. Shall road building by Hip
Stato Highway commission In Kast
hiii Oregon stop?
If the peoplo of Oregon reject the
proposed lucronso at tho Ma elec
tion, tho road program will stop just
whore It In. Tho John Day Illghwnv
will be uncomplotod; tho Old Oregon
Trnll will end at Ladrando. there
will be nothing douo on tho Central

no benefit from tho funds already ex
