real Interest In roads during the past
10 years Is because I have been an
extensive user of them and that not
with an automobile but in the old
fashioned way, by team, on horse back
ami not a little on foot. I am not op
posed to the "auto'' mid the only reas

not a'fford It. inning these 10 years
I have used tho roads quite extensive

Marlon and Clackntnas. I have
watched Clackamas route out of a mud
hole of despair until alio Is ranking
well with other counties lu road build
ing and by far ahead of some of her
neighbors. I ran well remember when
Multnomah wits as had a mud hole
as Clackamas ever dare bo.
Tho best svstom for a county to op
orate under, I believe. Is tit quest Ion
nsked to be discussed. I have no
fault to find with our past routitr
court. I think they did splendid work
and I bellevo II has been the best four
years of road building In the history
of the county. Their system through
out was g ioii and I bellevii that anoth
er four years under the same system
will do far more than the past four
years
The bridges have been their heavi
est burden but they now are practical
ly all In good condition. Wo are Just
getting acquainted with the special
tax qiieston and that Is the only sys
tem which glv ach locality the privi.
lego of solving Ms own road problems
and It Is doing II where properly en
couraged and that Is the reason for
the Increasing demand for the division
of road districts. I bellevo that any
neighborhood that Is willing to assume
Its own burden uf road building should
be given the privilege. The special
lax Is not a burden to resident tax
payers because they soon earn It hack.
I believe that road districts which
are levying heavy sMrlnl tax should
be nHslsted or enrourngeil by the
county court In preference to the one
who do not If I were n member of a
county court It would Indeed have to
bo a very extreme case to Induce tne
to agree to auproprlate one dollar to
a district which did not levy a tax first
to help Itself or make a very liberal
donation.
I understand that the past court has
worked on a policy of giving to the
rural districts every dollar of the gen
eral road levy belonging to that dis
trict and this is only fair and as It
ought to be Tho roadjupervlsor prob
lem Is probably the greatest of all and
I doubt ery much If n general sutler
visor or mad engineer would solve
that problem. I am quite sure that
the placing of a county like Clackamas
Into one or two road districts would
not do II. Wo have tried erecting the
supervisors a ml It was a flat failure.
In fact wo nre Just recovering from
that dilemma and I hope Clackamas
has too good sense to ever try the ex
periment again. The petition plan
may do simply as a suggestion or In
dication to the court and yet It often
results very disastrously. Ily this plan
