SITUATION IS SURVEYED
J. H. Albert, of Salem, Compares, In
Communication, Work of Har
mony Committee and of
State-Wide Body.
SALEM, Or, April 1. (T the Edi
tor.) In response to the. request of the
so-called Harmony Highway Commit
tee "to the citizens of Oregon to criti
cise, comment upon and suggest Im
provements In the four road bills pro
duced by the majority of Its members."
permit me first to explain the present
status of Oregon good roads legislation.
The Legislature at Its last session
passed good road laws creating a High
way Commission, providing an annual
appropriation of 1310,000. to be divided
pro rata among the 34 counties of the
state, each county being required to
provide a like amount In order to make
the state appropriation available. After
the Legislature had adjourned these
laws were vetoed by the Governor, after
the urgent demand of the so-called Ore
gon Good Roads Association.
Acta Are Independent.
These bills are now pending and will
come before the next session of the
Legislature upon the question. "Shall
the bills become laws notwithstanding
the veto of the Governor?" Last Sum
mer the Governor, upon his own Ini
tiative, called a state-wide convention
to prepare proposed good-road laws,
which body was composed of one dele
gate from each county, with four addi
tional delegates from Multnomah Coun
ty. This convention framed six pro
posed acts to be submitted at the gen
eral election In November of this year,
by Initiative petition, known as the
highway department, state highway
fund, state aid. state bonding act,
amendatory to the state constitution
and the county enabling act.
None of these acta is interdependent,
but each one stands on its own footing.
While the Initiative petitions were be
ing circulated to place these acts upon
the ballot, two other acts were pre
pared by representatives of tho State
Grange. The one was for a state high
way engineer, and the other a county
bonding act. The Governor, fearing
that a contest between these two bills
snd the two corresponding bills of the
State-Wide Committee might so divide
the vote that neither one would get on
the ballot, appointed a committee of
five to reconcile. If possible, these con
flicting measures, the master of the
State Grange representing that body on
this committee.
Notwithstanding Important conces
sions were made tentatively by other
members of the committee, the Grsnge
representative refused to concde any
thing and withdrew from the committee.
It waa not Intended that the appoint
ment of this committee should suspend
a circulation of the state-wide Initia
tive petitions, upon which about 2000
names had already been secured, and
the Governor so Informed me at the
time, as It was by no means certain
that the committee would succeed In
reconciling the two Grange bills and
corresponding state-wide bills. How
ever, the work practically ceased on
the state-wide bills In expectation of
reconciliation of the conflicting bills In
question.
Artioa Is nrprlae.
To my surprise, the remnant of this
committee. Instead of reporting their
failure to accomplish the work for
which they were appointed, and leaving
the matter In statu quo, vis., with the
six state-wide bills and the two con
flicting Grsnge bills In the field, pro
ceeded to prepare a complete set of new
bills in opposition to the state-wide
bills, still further subdividing the good
road vote and reducing the probabil
ity of placing any good road measure
on the ballot.
A careful analysis of these last bills
and a comparison with those of the
state-wide committee shows the deter
mination on the part of their framers
to oppose or Ignore every material pro
vision of the state-wide bills.
First, the Stato-Wldo Commission,
after due deliberation, decided upon
12.000,000 bonds annually for ten years,
which would average about 160.000 to
each county, and would build the half
of 20 miles of good roads In each coun
ty on the basis of J6000 a mile as the
average cost. The opposing bills of
this committee fix the amount at
$1,000,000 annually, continued Indefi
nitely, without limiting the number of
Issues.
Multaotnak Declared Benefited.
The State-Wide Committee made the
distribution of the highway fund state
wide, without regard to the assessed
valuation of the different counties,
upon the avowed principle that good
roads benefited the whole state, and
the greater the congestion of wealth
and property the greater the benefit,
A comparison of the distribution of
the state highway fund under these
different acts will show that the change
made by the remnant of the so-called
harmony committee has been made In
the direct Interest of Multnomah Coun
ty and will also show why other coun
ties should support the state-wide bills
as well as emphasize the recent state
ment of Governor West, that the coun
try has paid and now pays more than
Its share for the building of roads.

latter than under the former. All of
the other counties receive less, a ma
jority not one-third, and several not
one-fourth as much as under the har
mony bills as under the state-wide
bills.
The bonding amendment to the state
constitution proposed by the harmony
committee differs from that of the
state-wide committee by a limitation in
the former bill in the amount of in
debtedness for building permanent
roads to 2 per cent of the assessed
valuation of all property in tne state,
But for th's difference the 300 names
on the Initiative penltion of the state
wide bill could be added to those that
might he obtained on the harmony
committee bill, and thus Insure a place
upon the ballot for this bill, which Is
the cornerstone of the good-roads sys
tem In the event all the other bills fail
to get on the ballot.
This limitation is absolutely unneces
sary and valueless. Under the state
wide bill providing for the Issue of
12.000,000 bonds, the percentage on the
assessed valuation would be a little
more than 11-100 of a mill, and at the
end of ten years. If the 220,000,000
bonds provided for In the state-wide
bills should be issued, and If the in
crease In the valuation should equal
that of the past ten years. It would ag
gregate less than one-third of 1 per
cent of the assessed valuation, or one
sixth of the limit of 2 per cent pro
posed In this amendment
Elimination la Suggested.
Agnln, under our system, our consti
tutton can be amended as quickly as t
law can be enacted under it. Now, why
not strike out thin provision, if these
laws are sought to be Initiated, and
make It Identical with' the state-wide
proposed law? The constitutional
amendment limiting county bond issues
to 2 per cent of the assessed valuation
is simply a further restriction placed
upon the constitutional amendment
passed at the last general ele-'tlon by
more than 18.000 majority, authorizing
counties to incur an Indebtedness upon
a majority vote at that election, letting
the people decide upon the amount.
This bill should have no place In good
roads legislation and should be en
titled: An act to prevent the building
of good roads In Jackson County, as
this would limit a present bond issue
there to 2600.000.
One of the most unnecessary and un
wise of the provisions of the state
bonding bill is that of section 5. provid
Ing for a sinking fund to be collected
In 20 annual Installments during the
last 20 years of each Issue of bonds.
This is unprecedented for the retire
ment of serial bonds. If this 220.000,
000 or 210,000,000 bonds all matured at
one time, there might be reasons for
establishing a sinking fund to provide
for their payment at maturity. But
such Is not the case with these bonds;
they mature In series of 21.OOS.000 or
22.000,000 a year as the case trfay be,
extending over a term of ten years.
With an increase of an assessed valua
tion in the next 30 years, based upon
that In the last ten years, an annual
levy of 1-20 of 1 mill each year for
ten years will pay off the 21,000,000 of
bonds as they mature each year, or
less than 1-10 of 1 mill will pay off
the 22.000.000 a year thus maturing.
Quoting Rftbert W. Babson. a financial
writer of note:
Serial Bonds" Urged.
Often in bond advertisements the bonds
are referred to as "alnklns-fund bonds." This
means that each year, after a certain date,
a certain sum of money is supposed to be
set a side for the purpose of having a par
tial fund on hand to redeem said bonds
when they mature, or else for the purpose
of redeeming a certain portion of them
each year. In the latter case the bonds
must also be known as "eallahle" or "re
deemable." as melt as "alnkina-f und bonds."
rersonally. I do not care for the slnkino
ffund feature, but much prefer "serial
bonds," as In the latter case each holder
knows definitely whan his bonds ar to bs
paid. This not only eliminates the uncer
tainty of having one's bonds called in for
payment at an Inopportune time, but in
addition, prevents the company from los
ing the sinking fund before the bonds ma
ture. However, up to a few years ago there,
were practically no serial bonds ou the
market, and either no provision waa made
for the redemption of. bonds or else a sink
ing fund waa accumulated and Invested
from time to time until the bonds matured.
In the latter ease either a few bonds were
called by lot every year or else the fund
was allowed to accumulate until the bonds
matured. In the case of towns, municipal
ities and counties, the latter method was
generally pursued; and thaae sinking funds
have often been the source of great graft
and dishonesty among public offlclala.
Now. however, this temptation haa been
largely eliminated through the issuance of
serial bonds, whereby certain definite bonds
must be paid or canceled each year.
Advantage Not Great.
Except in the casea of mining companies
and corporations, whose property naturally
deteriorates, sinking-fund bonda have no
greet sdvantase to the purchaser: and, other
circumstances belnc the aimi, sinking
fund bonda are no better secured tjian bonds
without a sinking fund. In other words, if
a bond is not well secured without a sink
ing fund it Is generally true that no sink
ing fund will make It safe except, how
ever. In the case of mining companies, where
the actual security for the bonds la being
sold. As to the advantages and disadvan
tages of a sinking fund, the following con
cretely expresses the case:
Advantages: (1) A sinking fund enables
a company to reduce Its bonded indebted
ness by buying and canceling its own bonds.
2 Bonds secured by a sinking fund are
usually secured by closed mortgages, and.
therefore, have a greater prospect of becom
ing underlying liens.
Disadvantages: (1) If a corporation is
able to provide a sinking fund Its bonds
are perfectly good without such a fund.
(I) When sinking funds are arbitrarily re
quired there la a temptation to reduce main
tenance charges to a minimum, and this
retards a healthful growth and develop
ment. I believe the condition of proposed
road legislation In Oregon Is most
critical snd I tremble for the result. I
believe that unless the differences be
tween the state-wide bills and these
harmony bills so-called lie reconciled,
that the result will be no legislation by
the people this year. As has been said

letter which were held hoping for the
reconciliation with the Grangers, that
will now be pushed. Indeed, with the
prestige of "000 signatures already ob
tained. I believe these are the only bills
that can possibly get on the ballot. If
petitions for all three of the sets oe
circulated I beg this committee not to
act hastily, nor to Ignore the prestige
of the state-wide bills. A decent re
SDect for the members of the state
wide commission, who came, the most
of them, hundreds of miles at their own
expense for the public good, would re
autre that they have some voice In the
measures that are finally submitted to
the people, rather than that such pro
nosal be arbitrarily framed by the rem
nant of a committee framed for an
other purpose. J. II. A I.HKRT.
