Need of Highways Generally Con
ceded and Commencement of a
Broad System of Improve
ment Regarded Imperative."
Beores of Portland's prominent busi
ness men and heaviest property own
ers have enthusiastically Indorsed the
$6,000,000 road bond issue which Is to
be decided by the voters at the spe
cial statewide election on June '4.
In response to Inquiries from John
B. Teon and other members of a spe
cial committee delegated to seek opin
ions from leaders in the city's indus
trial and commercial life, they have
made emphatic pronouncements of
their views.
Some, indeed, have advanced sound
arguments for the bond issue that the
committee itself had overlooked or
neglected to emphasize. "I am wondering-
if the committee is laying? suf
ficient strength on the point that after
the highways have been improved the
counties will be relieved of spending a
largo portion of their annual tax levies
on the maintenance of tire improved
roads, thus releasing a substantial sum
' that can be emended upon other roads
within the county," writes W. N. Ayer,
. president of the Bastern & Western
Lumber Company.
" Borden on Motors Approved.
Franklin T. Griffith, president of the
" Portland Hallway, Light & Power Com
pany Better roads are necessary to the
development of the state. Trunk high
ways will stimulate construction of
feeders. I have confidence in the com
mission in charge of the work and be
lieve full value will be obtained for the
money expended. I favor the bonds also
because the cost of carrying and re
tiring the bond Issue will fall -upon the
users of the highways the auto
xnoblllst. Motor vehicles created the
necessity for hard surface and motor
vehicles should bear the cost.
W. J. Burns, manager Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., importers and export
ers I am Btrongly in favor of good
roads. We cannot have too many of
them, but work should be arranged so
that it will not interfere with the sup
ply of labor necessary for our agricul
tural needs.
B. C. Ball, president- of the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works The state
of Oregon is greatly handicapped In Its
development by the lack of good roads
and this measure appeals to roe very
strongly, as the interest will be paid
and the bonds finally retired from re
ceipts of automobile licenses.
Sound Judgment Possible
. C- Colt, president Union Meat Com
pany: I favor the $6,000,000 bond issue,
first, because I believe it is based on
sound business lines and the tax will
Jail where'it belongs; second, because I
feel the development of good roads is
absolutely essential in any community:
third. ' because I believe that the road
improvement has reached the stage
. where we are better able to judge of
what is required.
W. F. Woodward, of the Clarke,
Woodward? Drug Company: We are In
favor of the road bond issue, wholly,
unqualifiedly, - absolutely. Our road
salesmen will vote for it because they
now are barred from certain sections of
our state during the Winter months.
Oregon now is a six-month business
state; for half the year our energies
are crippled by poor roads.
J. K. Daly, president Title & Trust
Company: This is probably as fair a
measure, all things and all sections of
the state considered, as can be drawn
or will be drawn at any time la the
future. Defeat of the bonds now would
serve to postpone road development for
two years, probably longer, .without
any assurance that a more satisfactory
road programme could be devised in
the future.
Strong- Parallel Drawn.
Erlo V. Hauser, president Multno
mah Hotel It would seem almost as
absurdly impracticable to build a
house without putting a roof over it
as to build a dirt road in a wet coun
try without putting a hard surface on
It. I am heartily in favor of the bill
and shall use my best endeavor to
work for its adoption and successful
administration.
V. M. C. Bilva, manager Chamber of
Commerce building Good roads will
be the means of advancing the mate
rial interests of the state, when the
disbursement of the $6,000,000 bond
money, will be in the hands of honest,
public-spirited citizens like- 8. Benson.
Dr. Andrew C Smith, president HI.
bernia Savings Bank I am in favor
of the state bond issue because it is
sound economy to spend money in this
way and keep on spending it until we
have developed a wide system of good
roaas -tnrougn tne state.
State Pride Incentive.
Phil Metschan, Jr.. manager Tmne-
rial Hotel I am heartily in favor of
the bond issue because this is the only
means oy wnicn we can get enough
money to carry out a proper develop
ment programme. We are far behind
our sister states of Washington and
California in road Improvements and
I know of nothing that would be a
greater benefit to Oregon than a sys
tem of highways that would be pas
sable 12 months in the year.
A. Feldenheimer, Jeweler I am most
heartily for the bonds and you may
rely upon my support of them.
William D. Wheelwright. Pacific Ex
port Lumber Company I favor the
bonds because the benefit to the com
munity would be so great that It
seems to me there should be no oppo
sition on the part 'of public-spirited
citizens.

$322,765.84 is in the First National and
$76,701.53 in the Bank of Cottage Grove.
Not since 1907 has the amount of de
posits reached near this figure.
The size of the deposits at this time
is accounted for largely through the
high price paid the farmers for their
produce and the larger quantity of
marketable - produce raised last year.
A conservative estimate would prob
ably place the shipments of potatoes
at $30,000, and this is the first time
any quantity of the tubers has been
shipped. The shipments of hogs and
cattle has also been large, as has also
the shipment of eggs. The shipment
of all of these articles has greatly ex
ceeded the shipments of previous years,
and the prices received have been much
higher.

Due to its gigantic facilities The

effects millions in economies;
has never found it necessary to
skimp or. rob a car of value in
order to compete; but is able to
give surplus value throughout
the entire car for far less money.
Might may not make right, but
right has made Overland might.
The experience of building over
200,000 similar four-cylinder

the development and perfection

which, be said, would raise just as
much money, but the Legislature re
fused to pass that bill and passed the
bond bill. Mr. Whitney Boise, who
spoke for the bond bill, favored it be
cause It would not raise the taxes on
the homes and the farms, but would
be psld by the automobile owners out
of the Increased auto license fee,
which is already a law. Mr. Bolae
pointed out that the Hi mill road tax
bill that Mr. Dufer wanted would raise
the road taxes five times as much as
at present and he thought it would be
a burden on the people at this time,
while the auto owners would save the
amount of their extra license In re
pairs and tires and give the farmers
and everybody these good roads to use.
