“ A good road Is a thing that will
last forever, when properly kept in
repair." remarks an exchange. “ The
next generation has no right to be
enjoying an improvement that their
fathers sweat to pay cash for. 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
