Inquires the Hood River Glacier. It is time OreRon was Retting out of the mud, comments the Tillamook Herald. California and Washington have both made largo appropriations fur flood roads during tlio paut row yours, while Oregon lias stood still. The bonding bill which will eomo up fur eoiiHidcral.loii in Juno Is un eco nomic busiriccs proposition. The annual llrvnae on nil automo !)!. lias boon doubled. The fes from Lids source v.lll be cdetiuate to pay tho iiildei'.t, and the principal of the $0, t'.ii'i.'ioii roud bonds. Automobile own ers are williiiK to pay the luereased li cense -nt ask that the money raised Ihererrcim shall be opeut in road con ul ruction. Why liot? They are golns lo )iay the bill. And It will not ue necessary to raise general taxes, either. Veto for the bonds. From a series of Investigations, tho U. S. Department of Agriculture has found that, following tho Improvement td' the main market roads, tho increase in the selling price of tillable farm lands served by tho roads has amount ed to from one to three times the totul coat, ot the Improvements. The construction of hard-surfaced roads that will enable tho farmer to reach the Columbia River with his prain and other products will Kive tlio producers of Eastern Oregon tho full beuerit of water competition In mar ket Ins their products and will ultl mnlely bring about a reduction of ex pensive freight rates that are now iu eri'ect over the various branch ruilroad lines on which tho farmer Is now de pendent for transportation. The fact that the United States Is at war with a foreign fo only furnishes an additional argument in support of the good roads bond bill. Improved and serviceable highways are a mili tary necessity in time of war. In their present condition, even the main trunk roads In this state are entirely Inade quate to meet the situation should the Pacific Coast evor be uttnokod by un friendly forces. Good roads are not only desirable in time of peace but are positively indispensable when the country is in a state of war. Commenting on the selection of Her bert Ntinn as Ktate Highway Engineer, It. H. Murdoek, rnadnuister for Coos County, pays the following blgli trib ute to the qualifications of Mr. Nunn: "!!y executive and technical training and experience, he is easily the beet riualifled mail In the Stale of Oregon, If not. on the Pacific Coast, for the po sh Ion which he has recently been appointed to fill.
