Tot arguments ror ana against these two measures were varied, al though the majority of those Inter viewed were In favor of both meas ures. There were a number who did not want to be quoted, some for and some against, while a few favored the Rooecvek highway but not the 95,000,000 measure. Here Is what a few of the bus iness men think of the measuros: T. C. Bra tn well: "I favor the $5, 000,400 bonding bill and the Roose velt highway. Irrigation and good roads form the nucleus of our great reconstruction program." , C. 01. Bruit t: "t am heartily in favor of those measures that make for good and permanent Improve ments." a W. a Maxwell: "I guess I will Vote for them," .. . - - Roscoe Bratton: "I am In favor of both measures snd will vote for them." F. 8. Bramwell: "I am In favor of both measures, or any measure for etate advancement." O. S. Rlanchard: "I Intend to vote for all progressive measures." Ceo. C. Saiuln: "All things con sidered, S think the measures should be supported.' Jaa. T. Chlnnock: "I am for the Roosevelt highway because It Is a measure of Justice to the coast peo ple and will help develop the whole state. I am for the (5,000, 000 re construction measure ibecause It will asslsi our soldiers and sailors." P. P. Proctor: "I am for the Roosevelt highway." Fred A. Williams: "I am for those measures." Together with the above ten bus iness men, 1 1 others expressed themselves as in favor of the meas ures, while six business nen iwere found who opposed the measures, es pecially at this time on account of taxes, and seven were non-committal, having not yet made up their minds on just how they will vote. Of these 34 business men Interviewed, 21 were (or the two measures and 13 against, although a few of the 13 may yet support the bills. The Courier reporter wan told by a man who intends to oast his ballot against these measures that this was 'At a fair test, for the reason, he said ,thata greter percentage of bus iness men- would vote for the meas ures than would be found among the farmers and laboring men. Ills view Is well taken, yet among the latter classes sentiment la divided. There are those who believe In not putting off until tomorrow what you can do today and will support the bonding bills, while others intend to use the knife on most of the meas ures. No matter 'what your views are, go to the polls tomorrow and cast your ballotlet there be a represen tative vote.
