ANOTHER ANTI-BOND
o
Opponents Maliciously Allege
'That Only a Few Counties
Wiil Benefit.
In an attempt to array different
counties against the $6,000,000 road
bond bill, opponents of the measure
are maliciously alleging that few
counties will be able to avail them
selves of the bond measure for the
reason that the cost of preparing
roads for hard-surfacing . under the
terms of the bond bill will exceed the
actual cost of hard-surfacing and,
therefore, be greater than those coun
ties can afford.
Meeting this misrepresentation, the
State Highway Commission at its re
cent meeting In Salem reiterated its
previously announced policy on this
Bubject. All that will be required of
the counties under this policy will be
the preparation of grade of the roads
to be hard-surfaced. This means
that a county will merely need to bring
a road to grade and drain it before
the state applies the hard-surfacing.
The rock base is considered a part of
the hard-surfacing and will be built by
the state, assures the Highway Com
mission. POLK COUNTY IS
FOR GOOD ROADS
"The people of my county are just
about ready to adopt the good roads
slogan of the Clatsop County enthusi
asts 'Make It Unanimous' so far as
the $6,000,000 road bond bill Is con
cerned," reports C. L. Hawley, a farm
er and stockgrower of McCoy, Polk
County. "Of course, the voters of my
home county are not a unit for the
measure, but 1 find very little opposi
tion to It.
"I think I am safe in saying that un
der the present system of road con
struction in this state and considering
j the amount of money we have expend
ed on them, the roads of Polk county
compare favorably with those of any
other county in the state. But we are
not satisfied. We want more and bet
ter roads and believe the proposed
bond measure offers a practical plan
for inaugurating an era of permanent
road construction from which every
section of the state will benefit with
out increasing direct taxes.
'When It comes to a choice between
being in mud up to our knees or be
ing in debt up to our knees my people
are willing to assume something of
a financial obligation if it will insure
getting us out of the mire."
Harvey G. Starkweather, of Milwau
kie, Clackamas County, for 23 years a
member of the Grange and who as
sisted in drafting the rural credits leg
islation in this state, has the follow
ing to say in approval of the pending
$0,000,000 road bond bill1!
"I am not prepared to say whether
this bill Is as good as the one pro
posed by the State Grange committee
or not, but the question now up to the
Oregon voter 1b upon the bond issue,
and speaking from the standpoint of
a farmer and Granger since 1S94 1
feel that the state's interest will be
best served by an affirmative vote on
the measure next June, and I sincere
ly hope when the whole question has
lifip.n carefully studied that the Grang
ers of the State, Including the State
Master, will be found on the side of
progress, assisting to pull Oregon out
of the mud.
"A ffnnd read is a thing that will
last forever, when properly kept in
repair, remarks an exchange. '1 he
next generation has no right to be
enjoying an improvement that their
fathers swoat to pay cash for. The
children of loday can use the improv
ed roads In going to school so why
shouldn't they help pay for them. Un
der a bonding system the cost is tlif
tributed over a long period of yeim
and Is more Just than a pay as-yon g,
system which means a heavy tax up
on the farmers of today if roads an
reallv made sood. or it means a con
tinual tinkering with the roads and
eventually getting no real Improve
ment." In an editorial indorsing the good
roads bond bill, ihe Portland Journal
said in part:
Shall we go on wasting tax money in
the filling of mud holes or shall we
concentrate our expenditures ou the
most important roads and when they
are made efficient pass on to the next
in importance and so on?
Shall we continue to spend forty or
fifty- mllliou dollars during the next
ten vears without system, as at pros
ent, or shall we spend that amount in
a business-like way ou some defiuite
plan?
We can not get away from the
fact that we must spend for good
roads wether we have them or not.
The state bonding act (good roads)
does not mean that an tndeptedness
will be incurred. It means that the
t.itn will use its credit to build a
hard surface road in different parts of
the state which the revenue trom
automobile licenses will pay for iu
rears to come. It does not mean in
creased taxation. It ought to mean a
reduction ot taxes for has not tee old
system of filling up mud holes been
an extravagant and useless expendi
ture of the taxpayers' money. Silver
