POINTERS
"Will 'It not bo fur bettor to sell
Hieno proposed bonds and bejn our
road work by n eommon-Bense system
than to dribble It out In small sums
from year to year and In tpe end ac
cumplliih nothing?" 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

Lids source v.lll be cdetiuate to pay tho

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
