Refute Argument
Against Bonds
Opponents of the road bond bill
contend that the proposed bond issue
will become an added burden to the
general taxpayer. As a complete ans
wer and refutation of this argument
the legislative good roads committee
has Incorporated the following state
ment as a part of its argument in
support of the bond bill which will
be published in the official state
pamphlet:
"We have ascertained from the rec
ords of the office of the secretary
of state that the income from the
present quarter-mill tax Is $220,000 j
per annum; that the Income from
auto licenses based upon the present
number of automobiles at the Increas
ed license rate, effective August 1,
will be not less than $310,000 per
annum to be used in paying interest
and principal of bonds. The above
funds will be sufficient not only to
pay t,he interest and the principal
of the $6,000,000 bonds authorized
by this act, but will also pay the In-1
terest and principal of the $1,819,-!
280.55 in bonds authorized to meet
the government road appropriation.
After paying theso bonds there will i
be a surplus of at least $2,793,402.06. j
Since 1911 tho Increase in the num
ber of automobiles In the state of ;
Oregon has boon 33 1-3 per cent per j
year. With the completion of good '
roads this increase will naturally be ,
larger. However, we have not taken j
any Increaso Into, account but have
based our figures on the present num
ber af automobiles."

vanced prices to ten and fifteen cents.

Control Apple Scab In Epidemic Year.
Apple scab can be controlled even
under the severe test afforded by tho
unusually widespread and destructive
epidemic of the past season. By
spraying according to the recommend
ations of the department of botany
and plant pathology, Oregon apple
growers have saved hundreds of thou
sands of dollars this year". Those
who failed to spray lost in many In
stances almost their entire crop as
far as marketable fruit Is concerned.
