Y. i lii Skill I was laid and the pavement was carefully watched. The result being satisfactory to the court, a paving "plant was 'purchased' and preparations made to enlarge the work. During.1918 and 1919, the demand for better roads was very strong. The commercial organiza tions were beginning to agitate the . subject and daring ; the f early part of the winter of, 1919, some of the . big 'men In the county came to the county court with the proposition to aid the 1 court in alLpossible ways. A study of the financial part of the undertaking was first made; "the revenues of the county that could be used for the road .' work were ! carefully studied and the approximate cost of the work was learned.' ' The Bond Issue, The Pierce market -. j road law had been placed on .the statutes Some of the-automobile license money was coming back to the County, and the result of the study showed . that the county . court could reasonably expect to receive from sources ; other than , regular taxes, about. $175,0001 pjer .year. The assessed valuation of the county was $43,000,000. The law permitted the sale of 1 bonds up to 2 per cent of the assessed valua lion. That would raise $850,000. This amount,, if distributed over a period of five years, would about offset the funds coming in from other sources. The. commercial organizations then proposed to the court that they . would get behind a -bond issue for the $850,000 to be '. used in connection with the other road money. The ,, court consented totbi plan, provided that the money should, be used over the county according to , the assessed value of the t property The road districts were - grouped together, according to their res pective Interests. : ) )-, The study of the road condi tions showed that 100 miles of paving and 50 additional miles of rock road would connect up all the main points in the county. the estimated cost being $1,750,- 000. The cost of grading and paving: a mile was estimated at $15,000.- and the cost, of grading and rocking at $5,000. A plan was , studied out by "which the work, could be done In five years A system of 34 market roads was laid out and the .proportionate share for each road I was shown and the matter submitted to the people of the county. The measure carried by a good vote. I Bonds were sold to be redeemed in. ten equal installments commencing in 1924. i ' , Paying Them Of f ; ' An Increase In taxes " is felt more keenly by the farming com munity than by most other lines of business, and it Is j well to con sider in what manner; this pro' gram has affected the farmer. The average assessed valuation on an acre of land in Marion county Is $38. The! total of the bonded indebtness was $850,000. which is 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county: , 2 per cent of $38 is 76 cents; the pay ment ' of which is spread :i over i period of ten years, making 7 3-5 cents per acre each year. W. J. Culver,; Marlon county roadmaster. In a statement made recently, declared: f "I have al ready said that the opposition to long term bonds is growing strong. The public generally must stop piling up state and county debts; Such a course meaning much fut ure grief. We must arrange to pay as we go. A tax that is paid at once is a popular tax, but debt that is not to be paid until the end of a year or several years, Is a constant menace. h . "It seems to me that the fair est tax. that can be placed on the motor vehicle is the-tax on gaso line. The consumption of .v gas varies with the weight, the speed and the distance the vehicle trav els. It is the ' factor that most fairly meets the conditions. But we must get out of our, minds the thought that the-cost for gaso-? line Is, properly speaking,: a tax; -In the head .. . Treat thetar locally A cold in the head means a local germ attack.

And that does not take into account any of the cost of paving or other road work in the city ' of Salem, or any of the other , cities in the county. Nor any of the state road work. Nor any of the federal road work. The expenditures by the county were as follows: For 1919, $449,120.43. For 1920, 860,062.60. For 1921, 647,102.38. For 1922, 604.642.79. For 1923, 715.091.40. For 1824, 588.836.39. ' Best In the State Marion county spends more mo ney, on her roads than any other county in the state, with the ex ception of Multnomah, In which Portland is located. Marion has more paved market roads than all the rest of the counties in Oregon. She is in this s respect ahead of all the counties on this coast, with the exceotlon of a couple in California. Marion county commenced pay ing off her road bonds last year She retired $85,000 of them July 15. Will pay another $85,000 July 15 of this -year, and keep this up till 1933, when the last series will be paid off. ACTIVITIES OF THE - STATE HIGHWAY (CooOaaed ftom pag ) - financial benefit to the. state, but the sums expended by . the tourist on his trip through the state are not the greatest benefit which Is derived. Many who come to visit remain to become, permanent resi dents, and more return to their homes only to close up their af fairs and come back again for good. Vastncss of Work The magnitude of the work of the state highway department In carrying out the construction ac complished on our state highway system is little realized by the ordinary citizen. lie sees what has been done in his vicinity and per haps it does not seem like a great deal. However, if he started out in ; his automobile ' to inspect all of the sections which have been improved, or which are under way he would be several weeks older when he returned. y The department has instructed1 550 miles of bituminous concrete pavement, 170 miles of. cemeni concrete pavement, 1,860 miles of rock or gravel surfacing and 2,175 miles of graded rbadbed. These mileages are in addition to 302 miles of grading and 237 miles of rock or gravel surfacing constructed by the United States bureau of public, roads as forest road projects, with the state and counties cooperating in the cost. A large portion of the mileages given are overlapping, in that sections . - graded have been sur faced and then paved when the roadbed and surfacing had settled and compacted sufficiently to make paving safely possible. j 4,463.6 Allies In System 6 The net length of- the state highway " system- at' the end of 1924 was 4,463:6 miles. Of this length, a total of 584.3 miles were bituminous concrete ' pavement, 194.4 miles were cement concrete pavement, 1,948.7 miles were rock or gravel surfacing, 318.1 miles were roadbed "" graded to state standard and 1,318.1 miles were not graded to state 5 standard. This means that' 63.3 per cent of the total were paved or surfaced, an additional 7.2 ; per cent- were graded and ready tor surfacing, with only 29.5 per cent unimprov ed.. The uncompleted mileage',- as is to be expected,' covers some of the heaviest construction yet un dertaken.; v However, 2 consistent progress is being made from "year to year and continuation of the work will ultimately bring all year roads on the entire system. ; ' The Pacific Highway ? Of major Importance to the state and the Willamette valley is the main Pacific highway. This is a portion of a through highway from - the Canadian border to the Mexican border, and the only un paved 'gap of any importance in the entire distance Is la the north ern part of California.' This gap is surfaced for all-year traffic and probably wilt be paved within the next two years. There are several short sections in Oregon which have not been paved, -but are well surfaced and present no obstacle to traffic." The two principal' sec tions not paved are at Oregon. City and between Harrisburg and Junction City. The -balance , are all at points which have been' left open on account of : bridges and future grade Crossing eliminations. Bids ' f or paving - the Harrlsburg Junction Citr section afe to be sent month, and -the work, should be completed during the ' present year.'" new "bridge 'across the Willamette Jlver? at Harrisburg, replacing the terry which has been useij for many years. Is now under way and should be finished during the coming season. r -At 'Oregon City a new roadbed has been constructed and surfaced, eliminating the' hazardous railroad crossing and, the bid. plank road along-( the . river. . The new : line climbs to the top of the bluff. from where a . beautiful view; of the falls and ot the Oregon City Industries , may be secured,' and enters the main business portion of the town by way of an under crossing of the railroad at Fifth street. Paving of the section can not be accomplished ; until the roadbed has bad sufficient time to settle and become compacted. . ; Some Recent Work ; : During the past year, the Monmouth-Benton' county, line section has been paved and thrown open to traffic. This was the last link in opening the entire West Side highway from Portland to Junc tion City, and its completion will relieve' the mainJ Pacific highway from some of the congestion of traffic which already has made itself felt. . The department also has constructed a new bridge over Rickreall creek at RIckreall. re placing the old wooden structure, i The , Albany-Corvallls . highway has been paved, except for a short section at the west . approach to the Santiam river, and is in cons tant use. This section was paved with eement concrete, the pave ment section being, eighteen feet wide and seven inches thick across fourteen feet of the width, being thickened , to ten inches . at . the edges. ..A new bridge, replacing the. old structure across the San tiam river at Albany, is being con structed and the work is now well under, way. , ; . ? Work of this general nature, gradually bringing the status of the entire state highway 'system up to standard, is under way over the entire state, and special men tion has been, made of a few of the total projects only as they may be considered of especial interest to residents of Salem and vicinity. I ; lilg Sums Expended The total expenditures by the state highway department on Ore gon's road system have aggregated $77,926,704.51 to the end of 1924. Of this total $58,233,000.34 have been paid from state funds,. $11, -988,049.67 from county funds, $7,384,396.89 from federal gov ernment funds, and $321,257.61 from railroad cooperation on grade crossing eliminations. These figures do not Include $3,218,650. 58 expended by the federal gov ernment and $895,355.71 expend ed by counties on forest road projects handled by the United States bureau of public roads. L 1 How the Money Comes i The total state revenue to the same date amounted to $60,064,- 834.03," and it is interesting to note j that of this amount only $2,174,642.91, or 3.6 per cent, has been derived from a . direct property tax. It is not known what portion of the county co operation has been made up from property taxesbut it is reasonable to assume that the greater part has been derived from the county twenty-five per cent of the motor vehicle license fees, or from bonds which will be retired from these fees. 5 Peak Year Close j State bonds have been sold to the total par value of $38,700, 000.00. Of these $639,250 have matured and have been' paid, leaving an outstanding bonded in debtedness of $38,060,750.00. The payments for interest and' prin cipal for 1925 will amount to $2,597,516.23, and the amounts will gradually increase .each year until $3,476,998.12 is reached in 1928. : That will be the peak year, and; the amounts will after that gradually decrease each year un til the bonds have been fully re tired. ; Most Equitable Method All t payments required for the Lame - Stiff Red Pepper brings re- lief in 3 minutes - j You will be amazed to learn how quickly red pepper relieves stiffness and lameness and rheu matism. , ' 1 .

This places the burden of paying for the high ways tJPON THOSE WHO USE THEM arid are directly benefitted; and appears to, be. the most equit able method yet: adopted; by .any of the states for financing a major highway construction program. In fixing the schedule of license fees the legislature relieved j the car from a .direct . property tax, and the gasoline taxes paid during the course, of a year are 'in direct proportion to the number of miles which are traveled ; The more a car owner uses the highways the greater his tax payments will be. If one does not have a car his. taxes ; for 'highway improvement will be nothing. , ; . . To those who have voiced the opinion that the taxes for operat ing, a car in this country are ex cessive, a. statement of the condi tions in England may prove Il luminating. During 1924, a total of, 192,629 motor vehicles! and trucks were licensed in this state. The total gross revenues amount ed to $4,614,518.65, or an average of $23.93 per vehicle. ; During the same period the gasoline tax es amounted to $2,564,817.19, or $13.31 per vehicle.' " This makes an average of $37.26 per vehicle paid in ' total taxes for the year. In England the tax per gallon on gasoline was about, twelve cents until 1921, against our present Oregon tax of three-cents per gal lon. : Beginning with January 1, 1921, the gasoline tax was -abolish ed and a tax of one pound (about $4.75) per horsepower of the motor vehicle was substituted This tax is still in effect, and the owner of a Ford car, for example, pays in to the public treasury an nually very nearly $107 for the privilege of driving on the British roads. This is rather a contrast to Oregon's average of $3T.26 for all types of cars, including" heavy trucks. ' Span of Horses Stage Com motion in Downtown 1 Streets of Silverton STAYTON, March 18. A span of horses hitched to a carriage in dulged In a lively runaway here Saturday afternoon, causing con siderable commotion about the streets. The rig belonged to John Half man of Aumsville. .... The car riage collided with an automobile which was parked in front of Hen dershott's Electric store, which checked the fleeing horses when they were captured. The team and auto escaped undamaged, but the carriage, which was turned over, got a broken wheel and a crushed top. E. D. Crabtree made a trip to Portland last week where he pur chased a new planer for his saw mill. The new machine was de livered on a truck, and after leav ing the highway, on a side road to the mill, the truck was Over turned, throwing the planerj - off and damaging it quite materially. Dr; E.

Dicky impassionately ad dressed the horizon beyond the Nantucket railroad station as he held aloft the key which he had just fished out of his pocket. That the action had, some connection with his demand upon me for a suggestion as to where we should house ourselves when we reached New York was obvious. But . 1 wisely held my tongue. I knew that he neither needed nor ex pected any answer to his -question. "Here I've been racking my brain to find out where we were going to blow in out cf the rain, when all the time I have in my pocket the key to as cozy a little apartment as anybody would want to . see in a year's search. The question is solved, old dear. We'll hang up our hats tonight under a real roof, and you and Claire can try at housekeping if you don't want to go out to dinner." He paused with ' a triumphant look at me. "It was now my cue to answer him and I put the natural query: "Have you rented it?" He laughed outright. Madge Hesitates I "No such luck! You must think nice little apartments are to be had for the asking down little old N'Yawk. It belongs to Bob Bliss, an editor on the Circle and one of the best old scouts I ever knew. And his wife is Just about the prettiest, sweetest little piece of gingham in the city. They've gone to Virginia for a month's vacation, and old Bob gave me the key and asked me to make myself at home there any time I wanted to come In. They've only been gone two weeks, so we'll have all the time we want there." 5 "But, Dicky!" I exclaimed, aghast at his cool suggestion of taking possession of another wom an's home in her absence, a wom an, moreover, whom I never have seen. He meant that you should go there, not bring ia a family." "Look here," he demanded tru culently, "who talked to Bob Bliss, you or I? As It happened, he specifically urged me to bring you , in , to the city and use the apartment. -5 They'd, rather have somebody in it while they're gone, friends, that is they didn't want to rent it, although they ; could have . bad a tidy .sum tor.u.,l . "111 Take Care of Claire.'? "But if we go in there for any length of time we'll be renting it without paying, anything," I protested, my ethical sense rebel ling at accepting the favor Dicky seemed to treat so nonchalantly. 1 "You don't understand," my husband explained, in accents at once patient and patronizing. "Old Bob Bliss and I were in the same training , camp together. We've been friends for years. . We could have each "other's 'shirts and socks at any minuter Treouidnt insult him 'worse than to offer him mon ey 'for his apartment."

Make her come if she objects," Dicky asked. Now, I had promised myself not to lose sight of Claire Foster until I had seen her with recovered poise, safe in the shelter of her own apartment, .with her own friends. But with feminine incon sistency; it annoyed me to have Dicky ask such action as if it was the only possible thing for j me to do. I must not let him guess my feelings, however, so with a little move I echoed bis words of a few minutes before, and purposely im itated his haughty intonation. "I'll take care of Claire," I said. "She'll be glad to come anywhere If she's sure of eluding Dr. Pettit. She appears to dread meeting him." "If she didn't, she'd be a mor on, Dicky retorted. "How on earth such a pippin of a girl ever got herself tangled up with) a Gloomy Gus like Pettit I cant see. There must be something roman tically ' attractive about him, though, because I can remember when, you didn't exactly kick and scream for help whenever he train ed those melancholy orbs on you and registered dying calf adora tion.
