Wilbur 1C. Newell, president of Oregon State Board of Horticulture, mid equally well known In Washington, has, at tho roquest of tho Oregon Development league, condensed his Idoas on good roads Into 100 words, and they toll the sto ry far bolter than could we. Ho says: Dad roads nullify advertising, re pel Immigration, Increase cost of liv ing, render the automobile useless, and will deprive tho farmer of rural free delivery. "State aid and supervision of road construction Is essential. In equity because a public beno- fit, state should pay 25 per cent of the cost, county 60 por cent, and tho adjacent property 25 per cent. "For thoroughness trained engin eer work. For economy levy taxes and pay as we go.or on short time certificate plan. 'For education regular cot respond ence courses in road bulldin? at Or egon Agricultural college and Univer sity of Oregon.

It will prove a grca. factor in tho development of Portland and surrounding country. Could Be Improved Thoy have a strange way of ad vertising for bids on municipal bonds lu this Wostorn country. Taking tho city dock bonds for Instance, tho ad vertisement called for the aonoy "at six per cont," and the ono offering the largest premium provided tho party was responsible soc.iri-d the plum. In this caso the premium re ceived reduces tho Interest to a llt tlo moro than fivo per cent. In tho East tho cull would read "not to ex ceed six pr cent." This would put It on a strictly per cent btls, and tlm mnn av urtnltl 1m flAnirl In n cU the B, of Bt Johng B tl)p rato ut 3 H to 4 per cent. Wa bollovo that If tho bonds nad been put on a jjercentago basis tho mon'y could have been secured at not ! exceed four per cent. Miss 1. M.
