Thompson of Portland, is President, is receiving many letters commend ing the proposed constitutional am endment raising the state bonding limit from two to four per cent. "This amendment equiros no ad ditional taxation whatever," said Nel son Roney, of Eugene, "As soon .as the people realize that their property will not be taxed but that instead a possible levy, In the event of the mea sure failing to pass when it is voted upon, May 21, mad be made, they will vote for the measure. "The gasoline tax and automobile license fees are sufficient to pay in terest upon and retire all the bonds, without their being increased. Those owning automobiles will be benefited without additional cost and those without machines will be benefited without any cost whatever. The pres ent funds have been exhausted or contracted for but road building must not cease." "We want roads regardless of the fact that good roads cost much num. ey to construct. We want our taxes to be less, if possible. We can't have good roads without Increasing our taxes greatly If we construct them without government aid." writes Jay W. Dunn, one of the commissioners of Lincoln County. Mr. Dunn aual iios the possibilities which might oc cur should the proposed road-bonding amendment carry. "1 im wholly in accord with the effort now making through legisla tive action to further the Oood Road movement within our stute." writes William F. Woodward, of Portland. "It is simply a means of realising and securing to the people of this state assets hereto uuused and un available; products of field, forest and mine lie dormant until they can he made profitable and useful thru the medium of well constructed roads. And if there are no other re gmirces than taxation to meet the cost of these roads, we would still be in favor of them, but when the con struction of these highways Is car ried out by means ot an Impost which in no sense can be called a burden, and is almost wholly received thru channels hitherto untouched, there can be, in our estimation, not one word against the measure." "We will not issue a bond beyond that which is already provided by law and only as the money Is needed to carry on the work adequately," said R. A. Booth, of the State High way Commission, recently in McMIn ville.'This is no time to play in the mud. The Commission had no idea when it started to build permanent highways that the present immense traffic would follow. "The Commission does not aim to rush the road game this summer ns there would be a shortage tot labor and we do not intend to call out la bor for the roads when It proves s detriment to other Industries." The voluminous clippings from the press of Oregon collected in the of fice of the association lend encour agment to the men who are devoting their entire time and efforts to ex plaining the measure by reaching the people thru the same press. A very few are on the fence, asking In so many words: "What will we got out of It if the measure carries?" In or der to tell them, the corrected list of highways to be completed has been compiled thu the efforts of W. L. Thompson, .president, who has re quested C. C. Chapman to make a definite statement that the-following roads may be completed if the mea sure carries, whereas if it fails to carry thy cannot be completed for years. Tacific, John Day, Old Oregon trail Central Oregon, Baker-Cornucopia, McKenzie river-Crooked river, La Pine-Lakeview, Klamath Falls-Lake-view, Ashland-Klamath Falls, West Side, Cater Lake, Corvallis-Newport, Coos Bay-Roseburg, Yamhill-Nestuc-ca, Tillamook-Astoria-Colmbia river The Dalles, Calfornla, Mt. Hood Loop and the Corvallis-Alsea and Waldport Highways. It may be seen readily that every county in the state is intersterest and every residnt of every county would do well in considering the measure. Thursday the "Unlucky" Day.
