"The people of Oregon should make this measure carry unanimously, said Mr. Hall. "Good roads build up the state and the time has come for us to get out of the mud. When the good road movement was started here wag only 38,000 automobiles in the state, and now there are 86,000 registered to date. "Good roads in one community In spire other communities to build them and greater efforts along the lines of advancement should be put in action at once. The automobile li cense fees and gasoline tax are suf ficient to pay Interest on and retire any bonds which may be issued under the proposed amendment, and the money from these bonds will match federal aid. of which $2,629,555 re mains unclaimed, as all available funds are exhausted by being spent or contracted. In addition, what ever would be apportioned under the proposed bill before Congress, which is sure to result in Oregon having the opportunity to claim more than $5, 000.000, would be lost. "The rest of good roads to a farm er is easy to figure out. but the cost of bad roads to the same Individual is hard to determine. A farmer living at Meadow Lake stated that bad roads cost him 50 cents a bushel to haul out his potato crop, which, of course, is ultimately paid by the con sumer at his table. Never have the markets paid higher prices, and the rurmers want to get their products to market to sell them. "Oregon had a great influx of peo ple coming to Invest and settle down following the Lewis and Clark Expo sition, which they had previously cis ited. Persons passing through Ore gon will inquire about the roads, and if they learn that the road building programme has stopped their inter est in the state will be greatly dim inished if not lost."
