(From Tho TImberman.) The larpo timber owner of Oregon believes In good roads as other tax payers do. He believes In building them where they nre actually needed, In districts worth opening up, and In building the type best snltcd to the use to which they will be put. Ho does not believe In hard surface pave ments where a good earth road will sirve every reasonable need, nor does ho bcllave In county roads built pre n aturcly for the express purpose of opening boiuo particular tract In or der that exorbitant prices may bo charged for denuded lands hnvlng really but very little valuo for agri cultural purposes. No large timber owner or manu facturer In this state In opposed to rond or highway constr .ctlon whero there Is evidence that euch work Is needed, and that tho money spent Is used economically and not wasted, but rather they favor gradual Im provement and extension of roads end hlgbwnys, providing the work Is well done In a permanent and work manlike manner, frco from graft, and that roads are built only as fast as required for tho natural development of tho community. Iload building should only keep pneo with tho ac tual needs of the state or community and the ability of property owners to pay for them. Tho majority of taxpayers approve of our beautiful Columbia Highway nnd, although Its cost Is already very much In excess of tho first estimate, nnd tile end still not In sight, the concensus of opinion among taxpay ers seems to bo that this highway s worthy of a special effort becauso It has already helped to put Oregon on the map and will always bo a source nf pleasure and profit to tho people of this state and a delight to tour ists. Timber owners believe, that it Is unwise for any county to go heavily In debt morely to build tho kind of roads that are now demanded by plcnsiira cockers with automobiles. At the snmu tlmo they are w'lllng to see more money spent on roads than was spent years ago, but this work should bo done from current funds that nre raised nnnunlly from taxa tion and, until tho county really needs new roads, mora nttontton should be paid to tho maintenance of tho roads that aro In now, than to tho building of new ones. They faTor trunk highway development In Oregon at the expenco of tho Btate to further Increase Its population and wealth and aro favorable to the plan recently submitted by State Engineer Lewis, which should bo given favor able consideration. This provides that a definite plan be adopted by tho legislature defining tho principal routes for lnter-county and Inter state traffic as state routes, and the adoption of some substantial road policy to adhero to, which would make It possible hereafter to avoid tho fearful waste nnd extravagance of tho past which was largely duo to public funds being spent on small, disconnected, hnstlly considered pro jects that were Inadequately financed nnd planned without regard to the Interests of all tho people tn tho Btate. Up to this time only a beglnntng has been made, but tho future pos sibilities of Oregon's great lumber Industry may bo seen when wo real ize that oven at this tlmo it produces moro Income for tho people of tho stnto than wheat, fruft, wool and fish all combined. It also employs G2 per cent of tho wageamers In tho In dustries of Oregon, and under nor mal conditions should constantly gain In Importance as time passes. Our welfare Is dependent In a very large measure upon tho lumber busi ness, becauso tho development of this Important industry means more people In the state, more payrolls nnd Increasing revenues, also more settlers upon such portions of the denuded lands as can bo used for agricultural purposes when tho tim ber Is cut off. Strango as It may seem, the atti tude of tho people of Oregon nppcars to be antagonistic to non-residents who havo Invested In Oregon stump age. Tho cxccsslvo tax levies for road taxes always come In timbered districts whero there nro few voters with very small taxable holdings and largo hidings of timber owned by non-residents who cannot vote, or, If residents, nre not sufficiently num erous to control. In districts whero Used It lllevcn Years There Is ono remedy that for many years has given relief from roughs, colds, croup and whooping cough. Mrs. Chns. Illctz, Alien Mills, I'a., writes: "I havo uccil Foley's Honey and Tnr for tho pnst eleven years and would nut bo without It." It promptly relieves hoarseness, tickling throat and wheozy breath ing.

Adv. such excessive taxes are levied, good road nro seldom found and In many Instances roads here arc actually Im passible excepting In the driest part of the season. In some of these thin ly settled and heavily timbered dis tricts the principal and most lucra tive occupation of the residents seems to bo the levying of special road taxes and tho constant building and repairing of roads by day labor. Standing timber has been, and Is now, ery much over-valued for tax ation purposes and the tax rates have been nnd still continue to be exces sive. This works a great hardship on timber owners, who find It diffi cult to conserve or carry their hold ings untif their product can bo mar keted. This has been one nf the most serious handicaps to tho development of the lumber industry In this state nnd, if tho policy of overtaxing Is continued It wilt not only operate to keop Investors away from this state, but will eventually bankrupt some of our timber owners who havo already held their timber for many years, and who even it this time would have to sell their product above tho present market prices to recover their capital Investment. In nsscsstng standing timber, the resident non-timber owners do unto tho timber owners what they would not want dono unto themselves. Tho largo timber owners of Oregon will gladly carry their share of the pub lic burden, will encourage settlement by making it easy for settlers of the right kind to acquire cut-over land at low cost, will favor tho building of necessary highways and roads, paying therefore their full share, tsjll aid and support nny reasonable pub lic policy having for its aim tllo fur thering of the welfare of the people of this state, and ask tn return noth ing but a square deal such na they are Justly entitled to: nnd they bo llovo further thnt an observance of tho Golden Ilule'on tho part of those having tho taxing powor would work equally as well In road building as It docs In other matters.
