Whether you are for or against
the bonding measure you ought to
vote next Tueeday. It ia a matter
of vital concern to every cltlien
man or woman and it la the
right, privilege and duty of every
citlxcn to pass ballot judgment
upon the Issue. The Leader has
far more liking for the opponent of
the measure who goes to the polls
and fights It with his ballot,
than for the proponent who "can
not find time" to vote.

There will probably be no better
chance in years than now to get
state money for Umatilla county
roads. If we let this chance slip
by defeating the bonding act next
Tuesday, we deserve no better
roads than we have at present for
twenty years. And If state money
and county bond money are applied
to the permanent betterment of the
main roads the regular county road
fund will be left intact for bet
terment of the feeder roads. These
two reasons alone should be suffi
cient to Insure the success of the
bonding act, leaving aside all con
sidcration for the law of progress.
If certain Oregon solons are to
be believed, the paving trust Is too
crooked to lay a straight road.

Do not misread the election no
tice for the county road bond meas
ure. If you read it carefully you
will find that the county intends to
continue the paving right through
the smaller towns. It was found
upon investigation that this could
lawfully be done and it will be donV
if the bonding act carries. It
constitutes another strong reason
why every public spirited citizen of
Weston should make it a point to
go to the polls Tuesday and vote
for the bill.
