highways to bo maintained and
repaired, and there will, likely
never come a time when there will
not be some new work undertak
en. There will be a "peak load"
at some date in the future, when
the new work may not be exten
sive. But that time will pass, and
there will then be a demand for
still more paving of. state high
ways. And It 'will likely transpire
that the reissuance of the serial
bonds and the Increasing income
from automobile licenses and
gasoline sales taxes may keep the
program in full swing even in the
time of the passing of what has
been looked for as the "peak
load" period in the payment of
serial bonds and interest.
In the above statement concern
ing the permanent employes of the
state highway department, no ac
count is taken of several hundred
seasonal employes and contractors
reporting here during the seasons
of active road building.

county has already advertised for
SOOO cubic yards of sand and gra

tho hauling of the same; contracts
have ' been made for furnishing
the asphalt and fuel oil that will
be required.
27 Voted Special Tax
In addition to the regular road
district tax levied by the ' county
court to keep up repairs in the
road districts, 27 of the districts
levied special taxes amounting to
$44,000, with which to make per
manent Improvements in their dis
tricts. The county court.allows the
district voting the special taxes to
select the roads where the work is
to be done. Much good road work
has been accomplished by this me

W. H. Downing, county Judge,
and J. T. Hunt and James Smith,
connty commissioners, make up
the county court having charge of
the road work.
W. J. Culver Is the county road

Pavement in the
Hedda Swart is in the ,Salem office
as engineer.
During the height of the work
ing season, about 400 men are em
ployed In and out ot the. four
plants and on the roads.
20 to 23 Miles for 1024
The hard surfacing of the paved
county market roads will be ex
tended this year to include 20 to
25 miles. The cost of the payed
county market road3 in Marion
county ia about $15,000 a mile, in
cluding draining and ' grading
work. This was the estimate when
the original 100 mile program was
outlined, and it has been ' more
than lived up to; that is, we will
have about 125 miles to show for
the original estimate of 100 miles.
A Wonderful Showing
And we will have a great deal
more to show. We will have the
complete equipment, worth many
thousands of dollars, absorbed in
the cost of constructing the roads.
And five years of most valuable
experience; and the repair plant
out on Center street In Salem, near
the asylum for the insane. And a
program outlined for the future.
The state paved highways, built
under the contract system, have
cost about $25,000 a mile; though
they are mostly wider and thicker
than the county market roads.
As to the Future
What of the future? For the
Marion county paved market road
program it looks most promising.
We have already the greatest
mileage of paved market roads of
any county on the Pacific coast
And, keeping the present reven
ues and following the present prac
tices and rules, we will got 15 to
16 additional miles every year,
hereafter, for the next nine
years
While the market road bonds
are being retired
And after that, the program
may proceed even faster, with the
saving on the interest payments
and the annual payments of $Rr,
000 on the principal. Anyway,
there will be more money to spend
each year, after nine more years.
Income Will Grow
Also, the income will grow in
the meantime. Under the Pierce
(present Governor Pierce, then
state senator) market road law,
Marion county levies a one mill tax
and the state matches it, and out
of the share of Multnomah county
Marlon county gets $15,000 to
$20,000 annually, as under the
Pierce market road law none of
the money Is expended In Multno
mah county, excepting 10ft of the
share of; that county, the balance
from the taxes collected there be
ing distributed to the various coun
ties according to their assessed
property, and as the outside coun
ties match the state money. It Is
the practice ; of Marion county to
match, all money available. In
this way Marlon county has the
use of $100,000 a year or over of
market road funds. Also, over
$50,000 as her share of the auto
mobile licenses. All these funds
are KTowIng every year. So are
the funds from the direct taxes of
about a mill and a half.
A Glorious Future '
One may' reasonably 'predict,
from the above, that the time will
finally come, in Marion county,
when all the public roads will be
paved. Most of the main roads
leading to the market cities and
.towns are now paved; with a lot
of rounding but and f inishing np
to be completed the doming sea
son. '

system, making life more worth
living in many, many ways.
The Slogan editor said, many
times, in the campaigns for paved
roads, that, in the long run, paved
roads would be cheaper than un
paved roads, that are a series of
mud holes in the rainy season, and
long streaks' of dust, overhung
constantly with clouds of dust, in
the dry season. Before Marion
county launched her paved market
road program, this county was
spending tens oftthousands of dol
lars a year in "summer fallowing"
her dirt roads; money that was al
most as good as thrown away.
There was never much to show
for the money.
The same amount of money,
with the organization and mach
inery we now have, will keep the
paved road in repairs Being kept
in constant repair, they will en
dure. Our children and children's
children will have them to enjoy.
The possibilities of larger and
better business with paved , roads
throughout the county are beyond
computation in value. Her paved
market roads will mark Marion
county as one of the richest and
most desirable sections ef the
world, in commercial ways and in
many other ways that any reader
can appreciate.

held in $5,000 bond for the pre
liminary hearing. Four witnesses
were heard during the day John
Wise and John R. Burke, the of
ficers who made the arrests on the
night of March 9 on a road on the
outskirts of Washington; Louis
Zimmerman, brother-in-law of
Burke and driver of the officers
car when the ajrrest was made, and
Harry Woodyard, Jailer.
Wise, the first witness, testified
as to the conditions under which
the, arrests were made when he
and Burke came upon Knutson's
car parked about 150 feet from
the main road. He told of "of
fers" made to him by Knutson,
"t;0 settle out of court," saying
the "offers" were refused.
Wise said he was unaware at
the time that Knutson was a mem
ber of congress, or whether he
was "democratic or republican."
Burke and Zimmerman., called by
the defense, described the circum
stances of the arrests substantially
as did Wise. During Zimmer
man's testimony there were fre
quent heated exchanges between
opposing attorneys as to the pro
priety of the defense questions.
Woodyard testified he had
charged the men on the books with
a ''felony" on advice of Sheriff
Howard Fields.
After a strenuous appeal by de
fense counsel for a reduction of
bond fiorn $5,000 to $2,000, Judge
Thomas ruled the former amount
was not excessive.

our daily bread.
