ROAD BOND BILL Without Increasing Taxes. Much lias boon oaid In opposition to thn .mod roads bond bill that has no beai inn whatever on the measure and which could bo designed only to poi son and prejudice tho voters against it, That being tho case, tho following per tinent facts are submitted fur the in formal Ion and thoughtful considera tion of llm Impartial voter ou tho eve of the special elect ion Juno 4th: Tliht road bond bill proposes the ls nuance of $0,000,000 twenty-five year four per cent bonds for the construc tion of a system of slatu-wldo hard surfaced highways. The roads to bo Improved are designated In tho bill and Include tho imiiu-traveled roads throughout tho state. Adeipialo revenue has been provided by staiule for paying both interest mid principal and rnliro the bonds at maturity without increasing taites. The money derived from tho Increased aul.oniohlln licenses and the existing quarter-mill slate road lax will pay thn Interest and retire the bonds and leavo a substantial balance for the construction of other roads not enum erated in the bond bill. The Increased automobile license and the slato road tax are provided by Blutut.es now in effect and will have to bn paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are voted at thio special election June 4th. Thn automobile owner is willing to pay ihe Increased license. All that ho asks is that tho license money, which Iiub to he paid anyway, bo expended In eoiislructiug the roads proposed In tho bond bill. Tho automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the interest charges and retire the bonds. He fails to see why there i . ti i ii ! ei bo any opposition lo the ex penditure of (lie money so provided In the couslrucllon of good roads, in view of tho fact that It is his money that will pay for the improvements. All of lin money raised from tho honds will bn expended under the di rection of the Stale Highway Commis sion, appointed by Governor Wi'.hy combe. The Commission lias announc ed that in expending the fund all sec tions of thn state- will bo considered impartially. A dollar's worth of road construction for every dollar expended is guaranteed by the Commissioners, v.ho have declared that they will pur chase one or more paving plants and lay paving unless satisfactory bids are cubiiilttcd by paving contractors. Or dinary common-sense business princi ples will also govern the Commission ers in their work of road building, f'carcily of labor and thn reasonable ness of wartime prices for materials will ileleiinine Hie time for Inaugurat ing work and the scope of actual road coiiali uclinii.

There-Is only one plan before us by which we I may obtain some really good and serv j lceablo roads and that Is the present ) scheme of permitting the state to sell j n.o, ii.ono in four per cent serial bonds to b i cdoomoil both In principal and j interest by tho revenue derived from s lit tax ou automobiles. If we do t 1 1 tdopt this plan wo of Oregon will com nine ns we have already continued , tin hit -, with poorly drained, wreteh I edly located and miserably surfaced I toads, Impassable in winter and im 'ii t il ami expensive at all times. 1 i hi ( C.

WHA1 GOOD ROADS MEAN TO MOTORISTS Every motorist has observed how his rn in (derates when he goes from an unimproved road to a stretch of hard-inn-laced; but he may not realize how lai-ge a saving of power and gr.sollno that acceleration represents. If ho were to travel over a hard even sur face habitually Instead of over the i ii country road, his gasoline bill would bo greatly reduced. A motorist ll M issippi has figured out that I i (Km laced roads in his community i bun $;!t per year in the gasoline i ) i mi d by a single ear. in the face of these facts, is there ' i t 1 abb' reason why every euto t 1. wner should not. vote for thu i t 0 !,ood roads bond bill?
