Pt?e Four Eastern C lackam as N ew s Entered at the postoffice in Estacada, Oregon, as second-class mail. Published every Thursday at Estacada, Oregon UPTON H. GIBBS Editor and Manager. S u b s c r ip t io n K atks One year Six months . . . Thursday, Nov. 13. 1919 THE BOND ISSUE The N ew s is for the bonding proposition for good roads. In its opinion if this measure fails, it will mean a set hack for the county as a whole, from which it will not easily recover. The case for bonds has been so well stated by the Oregon City Enter prise that we reproduce it here as being better than anything we could write. Relief For the Farmer “All sorts and conditions of stories are being retailed anent the road bond issue. It ¿is whis pered that the socalled paving trust is interested in the out come, that the horses will not be able to travel over smooth pave ment, that the banks will reap a rich harvest on the sale of the bonds, that there is a tug, black nigger in the wood-pile and so on. Stripped of all of these stories, the outstanding fact remain^ that the authorization of $1,700,- 000 worth of road bonds will pull Clackamas county out of the mud, and that their defeat will mean a cantinuaCon of our pres ent road program, that suffers from inadequate funds. Nearly 2.IKK) farmers have expressed a desire, in writing, to have this question submitted to the people at a special election. Hundreds of farmers from every section have become so dissatisfied at the pace we have been traveling along the lines of road construct ion that they have practically de manded relief, which can be ob tained only by borrowing suffi cient money to proceed to building permanent roads with out delay. The pay-as-you-go system has been tried and found wanting. There is an insistant clamor for immediate road con struction and the county court is beset from every side with peti tions for road money, and has been compelled to turn down meritorious appeals because of the lack of available funds. If the road bonds should go down to defeat, the weeping and wailing will come from those farmers who have a right to ex pect better things when they are willing to pay the bills. The whole proposition is simply a EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS question of paying less than 5 per cent interest for 20 years in order to secure 144 miles of hard surfaced roads and the construct ion of the new Oregon City-West Linn bridge. Clackamas has cheerfully voted down every road bond movement submitted in the past and may do so again, but we doubt it.” Will Our Subscribers Please Take Notice The Times-Republican, a New York paper, says concerning the printing situation: “News print on the open mar ket today was offered this news paper at 6 3-4 cents a pound, or $135 per ton, as against $3.90 a hundred or $78 per ton, ntfw be ing paid.” “In addition to the constantly increasing price of news print, labor costs have mounted to a point never before known in the printing business, an increase of 100 per cent in the past two years and the high rate for pos tage, put in effect during the war. is still in force.” “It is no wonder that publish ers cf both large and small news papers are worried over the outlook. It will not be surpris ing if some of the smaller publi cations next year will be com pelled to suspend. About a hundred subscriptions are in arrears, If these are promptly paid, it will be a great accomodation to us in meeting our bills. The paper is not to be forced on anyone, so those who wish it to be discontinued should promptly notify us. Arrears should be paid up though when discontinued. The miners have helped their cause, by doing the right thing in submitting to the law. Now, if they have any legitimate grievances, the public will insist on them being rectified. The American Legion called the hand of the 1. W. W. at Che- halis, Wash., on Armistice Day, and the latter showed it. The Legion will do its duty. Have you registered?
