The only thing in Oregon from
which the tax payers derive any ben
efit without any cost to themselves is
good roads, according to Charles Flail
of Marsh field, president of the Ore
gon Chamber of Commerce, referring
to the proposed constitutional amend
ment raising the state bonding limit
from two to four per cent, to be vot
ed upon May 21 at the primary elec
tion. "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."
