A DOIUH'S WORTH : DON'T FORGET THE POTATOES W ANTED MARSHAL JOFFRE FOR A DOLLAR SPENT! GOOD ROADS RALLY C. B. Dahl will load a car ol potatoes at Maupin Friday and Saturday Assurance Is Given That All Funds Will Be Economi cally Expended. 'IM ?r In the selection ot a Highway Engineer at an annual salary of $3600, the State Highway Commission threw another bombshell into the camp ot those opposing the road bond bill. Opponents of this measure had been predicting that a $5000 or $6000 man would be given this juby The action of the Commissioners in this import ant matter only corroborates the as surance previously given that they will safely and economically expend all funds entrusted to them. It Is entire ly in keeping with the announced policy of the Commission that It will give a dollar's worth of value for every dollar expended in all matters connected with road construction. Mr. Nunn, the Highway Engineer, was se lected because of his efficiency. He has had years of experience In road building and "Ihe records of his work show the most satisfactory results at a low cost to those footing the bills. IS MR. SPENCE consistent? ' Pour years ago C. E. Spence, Master Of the Grange, advocated the Orange bill which proposed the Issuance of 6 per cent bonds by counties for con struction of permanent roads, the bonds to be paid by direct tax levy. Mr. Spence is now vigorously op posing the road bond bill which pro poses isulng $6,000,000 twenty-five-year 4 per cent bonds for hard-surfaced roads. A direct tax is not imposed for the retirement of these bonds. Ample revenue to pay the interest and retire the bonds at maturity Is already pro Tided by law from the increased auto mobile licenses and the existing one fourth mill state road tax which has been a fixed tax against all property In the state for the last four years. In other words, the bill to be passed upon by the voters at the June elec tion will not Increase the general taxes of the Individual. If Mr. Spence was right in 1912 he Is wrong now. MILITARY PREPAREDNESS Moving of heavy gun carriages, and heavy loads of ammunitions and army supplies, necessitates better roads than at present are available in Oregon. If our state Is exposed to attack, the railroad facilities are not as well adapted to carrying heavy guns as are improved highways, and It is up to Oregon to get its through trunk roads in shape to facilitate the move ment of supplies. Should the railroad centers become too congested, owing to war burdens, or should they fall into the hands ot an enemy, the through roads would be the only means of communication left to get supplies from place to place in the interior. Farmers would of necessity depend upon the through roads for marketing their crops. Every resldeut of Oregon will see the necea titles ot the situation once this la called to his attention and will -see the bearing tills has on the road ques tion to be voted upon June 4th. The Dalles Chronicle. Oood roads are indispensable to the progress and prosperity of any state or community. Such Improvements attract the tourist, encourage local development, promote soclul life, Im prove market conditions and stimu late thrift. Rural life is made more attractive and agricultural develop ment Is advanced In proportion as ac cessible roads are established and maintained. The further settlement and development of the stute's unten anted lands add to tholr vulue. The consequent increase In assessable val ues gives assurance of reduced taxes. Support the good roads bond bill June 4th aud thureby assist to effect these conditions. Oregon has talked good roads for 60 years. Millions of dollars have been expended In that time filling mud holes. The state Is In third place In commerce and population among the Coast states. The road bonding prop osition, ou which the people will vote Juue 4th, is the first comprehensive road programme ever submitted to the people. With the main trunk lines, provided for in the road bond bill, takeu care of, road district money will be ex pended on local laterals connecting with state-Improved highways, bring ing the farmer, no matter where situ ated, in dlruct contact with the city markets. All are agreed that Oregon needs good roads. The only material dlf ference of opinion Is as to the method of financing the movement direct tax ation or bonds based on a revenue already provided by law. The fact that taxes are already burdensome Is the very best argument for Issuing bonds. The combined revenue from an Increased auto license and the xistlng state road tax will pay the Interest and retire at maturity the bonds proposed In the good roads bill. The peoplo will vote ou this bond bill at the special election June 4th. A vote for the good roads bondt Jun 4th will be a vote to pull Oregoi out of the mud.
