The children of today can use the improv ed roads In going to school so why shouldn’t they help pay for them. U»- der a bonding system the cost Is dis tributed over a long period of years and Is more just than a pay-as-you-go system which meags a heavy tax up on the farmers of today if roads are really made good, or It means a con tinual tinkering with the roads and eventually getting no real improve ment.” In an editorial indorsing the good roads bond bill, the Portland Journal said in part: Shall we go on wasting tax money In the filling of mud holes or shall we concentrate our expenditures on the most important roads and when they are made efficient pass on to the next in importance and so on? Shall we continue to spend forty or fifty million dollars during the next ten years without system, as at pros ent, or shall we spend that amount In a business-like way on some definite plan? \Ve can not get away from the fact that we must spend for good roads wether we have them or not. The state bonding act (good roads) does Tiot mean that an indeptedness will be incurred. It means that the state will use its credit to build a hard surface road In different parts of the state which the revenue from automobile licenses will pay for in years to come. It does not mean in creased taxation. It ought to mean a reduction of taxes for has not the old system of filling up mud holes been an extravagant and useless expendi ture of the taxpayers' money.— Silver ton Tribune. .A vote for the good roads bonds June 4th will be a vote to pull Oregon out of the mud.
