BUILD THEM NOW. '
Attorney General Crawford'B lat
est opinion Is that while there Is no
authority to call a special election,
counties can vote on bonds for road
Improvement , at a general election
without waiting for fur
ther legislation. At the last election
the people by a majority of 18,000
amended the constitution of the
state so as to permit counties to Is
sue bonds for road purposes. The
amendment reads as follows:
"Section 10, article XI No coun
ty shall create any debts or liabili
ties which shall singly or In the ag
gregate exceed the sum of $5,000, ex
cept to suppress Insurrection or re
pel Invasion, or to build permanent
roads within the county., but debts
for permanent roads shall be Incur
red only on approval of a majority
of those voting on the question."
Some of the best lawyers In the
stale agree with the Attorney Gen
eral, " and see no reason why the
counties cannot issue bonds and con
struct roads without waiting for an
enabling act by the legislature. The
Supreme court la going to be asked
to pass upon the subject with . as
little delay as possible, so that If
bonds are voted there: will be no legal
difficulties In the way of their sale.
: There is no reason why the peo
ple should go on paying out great
sums $20,000 or more a year in
Wallowa county for mud roads when
they have the authority to build per
manent, year around roads.
The sums we are nOw paying for
temporary roads, that for a number
of months in each year are no roads
at all, would pay the Interest on a
sufficient sum to cover this county
with fine, year around roads.
County bonds for road Improvement
drawing only 5 per cent interest, can
be sold at par. We are using $20,000
yearly of 10 per cent money) on make
shift roads. . No man who is at all
posted on the subject will say that
$20,000 Is near enough. It doesn't
maintain in oven fair condition the
roads we have. But $20,000 paid as
Interest on $400,000 worth of per
manent, year around roads, would
mean good roads everywhere over the
county.
Why should Wallowa county wait
until the pioneers who made this
country what it is are all dead and
gone before a start is made on good
roads?. Those pioneers are entltl
"ed to the best there is and they de
serve to enjoy good roads as well as

as the next generation. They will
never see them though unless bonds
are voted in sums sufficient to build,
for no sparsely settled community
like this can pay for permanent roads
mile by mile, and at the same time
waste $20,000 a year on make shift
roads.
It is unfair for sparsely settled
counties to pay the entire cost of
permanent road construction for fu
ture generations. Let those who
come after us and who will also en
Joy those same good roads, help pay
for them.
Let those ( who advocate mile a
year construction remember the! story
of the Indian who hearing that
white men used feather pillows
thought he would try it. That night
he put one feather under his head,
and when he arose in the morning
said," White man, heap dam fool."
