SENTIMENT FAVORS ROADS
The Oregon Roads and Develop
ment Association, of which "V. L.
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.

ered the unlucky day of the week, In
