REPULSED AFTER HARO BATTLE
BETTFJ ROADS
Claim That Change In Caring
for Highways Will Save
People $4,000,000.
SALEM, Ore., Fob. 10. Oregon's
mud tnx Is Four Million Dollars. The
amount saved would build 1,500
miles of good roads. It would im
prove all tho highways In the state.
Oregon's mud tax saved would pay
by sovcrnl times tho possible tnx for
pormnnont highway making under
tho proposed good roads bills sub
mitted to the legislature by tho Ore
gon Good Roads association.
A mllo of good ronds built ends
tho mud tax nnd begins tho returns
on tho Investment from tho good
roads construction. Othor miles of
good roads open up tho stato to In
creased population, intensified pro
duction, accelerated dovcloprnont,
making possible tho moro pleasures
and comforts, bring rural delivery,
increased neighborhood sociability,
olovato citizenship standards, double
In vnluo abutting property.
Lowls W. Hill, president of the
Grcnt Northern, said tho other day
"Orogon Is backward In wngon rond
building, our contemplated railroad
construction will fnll of Intended
dovcloprnont bonofit if tho pcoplo do
not mnko good wngon ronds as feed
ers to tho railroads," Mr. Hill did
not advocato wagon road construc
tion to fill his own pockots, ho
knows, mid thoso who llvo in the
enjoyment of good ronds know too,
that pormancnt highways and their
iibo nnd benefits fill tho pockots of
tho people.
Tho vnluo of macadam ronds is
not understood nor realized until
tho road la made nnd used. Back
wardness of road construction in
Orogon is explained In two ways:
First, Ignornnco of bonoflts; second,
opposition to population mid Inton
slvo cultivation of tho soli. A" man
was found lobbying against tho good
roads association highway measures
nt tho legislature. "1 own . 5,200
acros of land," ho said, "I havo
seven miles of road bordering my
proporty; I nm opposed to popula
tion greater than now; I nm opposed
to good ronds; good roads bring pop
ulation nnd might compol mo to cut
up my placo; I don't want to cut it
up." Tho views of this man aro not
shared by peoplo anxious to enter in
upon Orogon's undeveloped emplro,
nor nro his vlows shared by tho man
who really desires to bonofit nnd do
volop tho state. The man quoted
was controlled by potty selfish local
ism, and It would bo Oregon's sorrow
If his kind were in tho majority.
Unfortunately n mistakon impres
sion, duo to lack of Information, con
corning tho highway measures has
gained placo In tho minds of somo
of Oregon's pcoplo. Tho highway
bills of the Orogon Good Roads asso
ciation woro not framed for tho con
struction of Stato roads. They put
tho entlro powor of road building In
to tho hands of tho peoplo of each
county. If all tho measures woro
mado law and became operatlvo no
county would bo undor greater oblig
ation to build roadH than now. Nor
Is an excessive road tax contemplat
ed. Pooplo In tho cities, when thoy
want to hard surface streets Issue
bonds providing a sinking fund nnd
pay for tho street out of tho increas
ed business and propoity values.
As much ns anything elso Oregon
needs tho advertising value of good
roads. If tho peoplo now resident
woro not to bo benefited tho vnluo
from tho advertising ncross tho na-,
tion would moro than offset tho cost
of pormnnontly constructing highway
systems in every county.
