NOT A BURDEN
AN
INVESTMENT
(Continued from Page 1)
built hard surfaced brick roads have
found that farm lands have increas
ed in value, due solely to such cause,
on an average of $15.00 per acre,
while in other sections where they
have adhered to the dirt roads the
lands have decreased $15.00 and
more per acre.
The hard surfaced roads propos
ed to be built under this honil issue
and as laid out by the County Court
aim wnicn can De reaauy extended
the following year wiji. serve the
largest and most populous portion of
A.. mi ,nn
t.ic cuuuty. mere are auoui 4ju
square miles of land equivalent to
256,000 acres tributary to these pro
posed roads with no haul to a short
haul of a few miles on laterals con
nected with them.
Excepting the known experience of
tne increase in Jand values in Van
derburg County, Indiana, following
the construction of the permenent
all year brick roadways above given
and assuming that a like effect would
follow here then the gain in this in
crease at an average of $15 per acre
would be $3,840,000.00 or nearly six
and one-half times the amount of the
bonds. Cutting this in two or to an
average of but $7.50 per acre it would
be a gain of $1,920,000.00 or nearly
three and one quarter times the a
mount of the bonds.'
We have had many cases in this
county where Easterners desiring to
buy land and locate in our countv
and who were well satisfied with the
soil, climate and location, after go
ing over the roads noting their bad
condition and the uncertain outlook
for better roads in the immediate fu
ture, have soueht farms in other sec
tions where there arc better roads at
present or where the people are dis
playing a more progressive spirit in
wis road matter, ana are now pro
viding for a good permcnant hard
surface road system in their county.
This is a severe loss to this county
both in the loss of good progressive
farmers and citizens and also in the
adverse advertising that we as a peo
pie and community are bound to re
ceive.
These proposed bonds with inter
est will be met by a general taxation.
The records of the last county as
sessment shows that the different in
terests will pay the folowing per-
stages of the whole:
Farmers farms and timber lands
44.54 per cent
Large Timber Companies
8.19 per cent
Town Lots and Improvements
14.39 per cent
Corporations 82.88 per cent
TOTAL 100.00 per -cent
Based on the last county valuation
(1913) which is $30,521,902.12 and
a reasonable future increase each
year due to the increased growth
and developjment even much less
than past experience would warrant
the interest on the bonus, their re
tirement serially and completely can
be accomplished within 21 years at a
cost of not to exceed one mill levy
each year. This mill levy need not
be added to our taxes and there
should be no increase of taxes what
ever. The great saving in the main
tenance and re-construction of pres
ent roads converted into hard surfac
ed roads will amount to much more
than the mill levy and the difference
saved can be deducted from present
taxes reducing them or used with
other funds in extending the perma
nent road system. This one mill tax
amounts to but $1.00 per year on
each $1,000 of assessed valuation.
The saving in the hauling cost for
one load of two tons weight over five
miles of these permanent hard sur
faced roads as compared to like cost
for our present roads would amount
to $1.00 or more. Will it pay?
On April 1st, 1914, Governor Glenn
of the State of New York, ufter an
exhaustive investigation of the cost
and relative value of roadways based
on first cost and the maintenance
alone during a period of twenty
years in a strong message addressed
to the legislature of that state con
demned the past practice of that
state in building macadam roadways
on its main trunk' roads. The sali
ent feature of that message is the
declaration that the heavy cost of
maintenance of macadam roadways
under the new and heavy traffic
conditions is placing his state under
a financial burden too previous to be
borne. lie insists that all future
main trunk roads be of hard surface
and shows how he can save to his
state thereby in 20 years timo on thfi
7,300 miles of road to be constructed
or reconstructed, the enormous sum
of $140,000,000.00.
What is true for New York is
equally true for this and every other
state and Governor Glenn's message
is one of the strongest endorsements
that we can have in our efforts to
secure a better policy of road work
and the immediato hard surfacing
or paving of all of our main trunk
roads of such widths as necessary
to accommodate the traffic that will
come upon them now. and during the
next several years. The widths of
the paved roadway can be increased
in the future years to meet the re
quirements of ihe increase in traffic
as the country develops.
These permanent hard surtacc
roads properly built will bo a groat
asset. They will not cost us any
money but will earn us money. A
favorable vote for the bond measure
will secure them at once and we can
use, enjoy nnd rmp the profits
equivalent to many times the cost
while we are paying for them with-,
out any increase in our taxes.

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY
AND PUBLIC WORKS
the
Initiative Petition Favored by
ocialist I'arty or Urcgon
(By C. W. Barzee)
Having been occupied, to the ex
clusion of other matters for the past
few weeks, with initiative measures
for the abolition of the state senate
and for proportional representation;
we owe an apology to, or the readers
of the Courier owe to us, for the ab
sence of this department, as the case
may be, their thanks. We, however.
come again with our party affairs for
your consideration.
The Socialist Party held their
state convention on April 5th, and
6th, at which time they nominated a
full state ticket, including congres
sional nominations for the several
districts. This sets to rest the infer
ence of any fusing qualities of that
party.
In addition to their convention
work the legislative committee of
that party has framed a measure to
be presented by the initiative, form
ing a constitutional Industrial De
partment for the unemployed citi
zens of Oregon. We submit here
with a copy for your consideration.
This measure has been framed with
the utmost care, both for the provis
ion of revenues and for the relief of
the unemployed citizens of this state.
It should receive the hearty co-oper
ation of all fair minded citizens both
in petitioning and for its final pass
age at the election in November.
While to many citizens of this state
it bears the ear marks of the touch
of Mr. U'Ren, he had no direct or in
direct connection with it. Any sim
ilarity it may present to his plat
form statement comes of his advanc
ed thinking rather than from his dic
tation. The plan of this Industrial Depart
ment and the source provided for
revenue is as old as the Socialist
party platform. ,The principle is
fundamental with them and its popu
larity cannot fail to be pronounced;
especially since the demonstration of
the recent and present lor tnat mat
ter, winter's campaign of feeding the
unemployed in this and other states.
The provision for "public works"
in this department opens up the op
portunity for building roads in Ore
gon. There is also provided tne gen
eral industrial department which
opens up the way for the establish
ment of any industry that the state
may deem necessary, eincient and
effective. The demand for such a
department is everywhere apparent
as the greatest economic waste of
all civilized government is found in
the unemployment and useless em
ployment ot its citizens. With the
Colorado strike affair confronting
that state and the nation there cer
tainly will not be found any think
ing citizen opposing it. We trust
the Courier and all its readers will
lend a hand in petitioning and pass
ing this measure to keep Oregon in
the advance of other states in the
Union.
N. B. Any person desiring to cir
culate a petition will be furnished the
same by addressing Hi. h. uinnon,
State Secretary of the Socialist Par
ty, at 1136 Fairmount Ave., Salem,
Oregon.
Step into the Courier office and
place your name on the petition by
way of encouragement to the promo
ters of this practical expedient measure.

RECOLLECTIONS OF
THE LONG AGO
How Liberty Looked to John Stark
then and ow
Something New '
A farmer by the name of George
Bliss, who lives at Carus, has just
purchased a two-horse corn planter
with fertilizer attachement which
drops fertilizer in each hill of corn.
Mr. Bliss moved here four years ago
to grow corn, clover and hogs, and he
says he is sure it will pay here in
Oregon. Mr. Bliss grows corn to
fatten his hogs and has raised and
sold nearly one hundred hogs and
pigs withm eight months,
Before me lies a magazine bearing
the simple name "Liberty." On the
inside title page appears this mot
to: 'Proclaim liberty throughout all
the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof." The reference does not
credit these words to Proudhon. thn
you might naturally think it an an
archistic idea. Strange as it may
seem this paper is published at
Washington, D. C. Just why the
uistrict ot Columbia committee
congress permits its publication I
have not been informed. I would
suggest if you can possibly spare a
dime to send for the current number,
not because I think it might broad
en your mental horizon, but a couple
of well drawn cartoons are worth the
price, besides some fine photos. I
suppose that not a baker's dozen,
who read these lines know about. th
special propaganda pushed by this
publication.
In my childhood the idea of liber
ty conveyed to my mind a summer
day parade with a lot of loud hur
rahs, some pink lemonade made frnm
tartaric acid under the pure food and
drug act, a lone sDeech bv some na-
triot for revenue only punctuated by
applause started the committee. Of
course it is well to hear in mind that.
this was a long time ago and I grew
un in a back precinct. People know
better nowadays.
Among my childish recollections
were times wheh my father wore a
worried look. About such periods a
well-dressed man with an alert look
would make his appearance and
some money changed over to his
lect farm rent from another, for I
argued that if he could or would not
work the land then it was no more
than right to leave it to someone
who would. . Surely no one could be
expected to pay another person for
the opportunity to work. Of course
you see that was long ago and I was
only a child. You know better, and
you know- that if the owner did not
permit the renter to work he would
be idle, which of course is not good
morals. You also know that if the
renter would produce a lot of stuff
and the owner did too, then the rent
er would not have a "market." So
in order to be good to the renter the
in owner will not do any work, and be
ing me owner he has a perfect right
not to work if he doesn't want to,
besides, by not working he becomes
"respectable," and can squat on tne
wwici o juiy tx suum wuriung man
should happent to get killed under
some heavy machinery. Besides that
there are a number of public offices
to be filled and one must be "respec
table" or he would be out of place
holding an office. Then there are
laws to be made for the benefit of all
kinds of work people, who do not un
derstand such intricate problems as
matters of law.
In my childish mind I could not be
expected to know or comprehend
those problems, but having associat
ed with you these many years I
would certainlv be dull if T rfirl nnt.
learn them, especially as all the re
sponsible and respectable newspapers
always tell us just what is proper
for a working man to think.

the next session can be profitably
used to repeal a lot of useless laws,
and amending others. I am not In
favor of introducing a lot of new
mils, unly such as there is an ac
tual demand for from the people
snouia De considered.
I do, and always have, believed
that there are far too many boards
and commissions. I will, if elected,
do all in my power to have some of
them abolished and others combined,
so as to reduce the cost to the lowest
possible limit. Everyone agrees
that our state taxes are too hio-h.
The abolishing of these useless com
missions will help.
I am in favor of changing the
present method of paying taxes. 1
will vote for semi-annual payments.
One-half payable April 1st, and the
other half October 1st without pen
alty. I have always supported Oregon
Progressive laws, the Initiative and
Referendum, Direct Primary law, etc,
and I shall endeavor to see that the
peoples' rights along this line is not
interfered with bv anv act of the
Legislature. Laws passed by the
people under the initiative should
only be repealed by the people.
I favor a permanent legislation
law, so that the unnecessary trauhiF
and expense or registering every 2
years can De avoided.
As a farmer and member of far
mers' organizations, I am familiar
with legislation supported and de
manded by farmers and I shall al
ways be ready to support such measures.
I am in favor of good roads, but
I believe that our present road laws
neeo revising, raostc arelul consid
eration of road laws should be part
of the duty of the next session of the
legislature. I will support any sys
tem that will insure us permanent
roaos irom tne market centers to the
agricultural and producing districts,
with a dollar's value for every dol
lar expended.
If nominated and elected I will at
an times work tor the reduction of
taxes.
If the above meets with your ap
proval I will appreciate your sup

The newly-borii "Deutsche Verein"
had visitors from Oregon City at the
last meeting. H. W. Streibig, can
didate for Sheriff, and Dr. Hemp
stead, candidate for coroner, were
present. You know both need votes
next Friday, but what bothers us is
f how the Dr. spoke the German lan
guage, i
E. D. Olds., candidate for repre
sentative, passed through our burg
last week. In talking with a bunch
of neighbors about the different can
didates, all concluded that Mr. Olds
was not the worst in the lot. It is
true that Ed formerly built bridges
for the county, but the bridges he has
built are all number one, and in daily
use, contrary to the Enterprise. If
Olds had not bid on the Eagle Creek
bridge, the Coast Bridge Co would
have had its own way and price. He
saved the county a good sum on this
deal. Mr, Olds is also figuring on
the Barton bridge and says that he
can and will build this for $12,000,
approach and all. Now why pay
$18,000 for a steel bridge that won't
last longer than a good, covered
wooden bridge and save one-third of
the price?
Besides the building of substant
ial bridges Ed is also a good speak
er, and we doubt if Chris Schuebel
could get away with him in debate.
Mr. Olds is just the kind of man we
need in the Legislature and we may
rest assured that no jobs will be Dut
over on us again if he knows it.
Let us all give Ed Olds a boost '
and send him there.
