A P R I L 1. 1818 SENTIMENT FOR BONDS TV re it no mistaking the sentiment of the people for pood roads. And thii arntinient has erystalised into the demand ihat permanent hij'.wayt t; buVt at once. And since th tax lim itation .aw forbids levy' i Iarpe ei-cih taxes to accomplish this work there It lut one method left for carry. ituj on the work; namely, by issuing bonds. In days past there were valid objec tions to bond issues. That, of course. was due to the conditions under which they were issued, and many people formed a dislike for the burden they created. But the modern method of paying the interest and retiring the debt as we go is approved by all fi' aanciers as sound and practicable. The war has taught the people of Linn county a lesson in financing. Daring the Liberty Loan drives this county has raised millions of dollars by volunteer subscription. It has rais ed hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Red Cross, for the Y. M. C. A. and other war work organizations money that has literally gone out of the county, for a good purpose, of course, but never to return. It was cheerfully given. With these lessons so close at hand the matter of authorizing the issue of a mere million dollars is thought little about. And the results that will ac crue will be of lasting importance. With good roads leading from one community to another the farmer can haul his produce to market with the minimum of cost He will save more than enough in a year on hauling alone to more than pay the extra tax that the bonds will require. And noth in? need be said about the comfort in wet weather and the freedom from dust in hot summer. It is an invest ment, not a liability. And the cost? It will never be felt. On an issue of $1,000,000 of five per cent bonds, if the entire issue were put onto the market at once, the in terest would amount to $50,000 a year. Under the present system of building and rebuilding roads more than $50, 000 a year is spent for roads, bridges and ferries, and more than $75,000 a year Is spent by the various road dis tricts of the county in addition. This is in excess of $125,000 yearly that goes into the roads, lasts a few years, with additional cost for maintenance, and then has to be done all over again. The present valuation of the coun ty is about $30,790,000. ' A five-mill levy would raise annually more than $153,950. This is considered ample to care for the interest on the bonds set aside an amount for retirement and maintain other roads. The million dollars, if no other mon eys were added, would build more than 500 miles of first class, hard, surface roads. There are more than 2,000 miles of roads in Linn county, but 600 miles would provide arteries leading from every district in the! county to market points. No farmer would have to travel far to get onto paved roads. But to begin with, the Pacific High STETTER'S FuH Line of CHINA WARE DISHES, CROCKERY, GLASS ware granite, tinware, groceries. Pbrtmiller Bros. Fun eral Directors - Our Owu Auto Cearse Lady Assistant Both Phones Masonic Bldg. way is being paved through the county oy the state. This removes about 40 iuloi at the very start. Then the state has appropriated another $1,000, 000 for market roads, and Unn county will get her share of this sum by mat ching state money with money deriyed from the sale of the bonds. On top of this the federal govern ment otters to build post roads and forest roads where counties showing the proper spirit and build good con necting roads. This means the road through the Cascades into Eastern Oregon will be built, not only opening up a new field for trade for Linn coun ty towns, but making available for all the unsurpassed scenic grandeur that lies in the Cascades, making easy of access the health-restoring mineral waters, the beautiful streams and lakes inhabited by the speckled trout the haunts of the deer and other big game, and opening up hundreds of the mots wonderful camping places in the very heart of the wilds that nature ever wrought. Not only this, but the revenue de rived from tourist trade will be no small item. When the Oregon Cham ber of Commerce advertises to the world that this wonderful scenic road, making a loop with the Columbia Highway, is open, hotels will be filled with tourists and thousands of dollars ill be left in Linn coun'y shops an nually. Naturally, the proceeds are distributed and all benefit. County Assessor Fisher estimates that the average taxpayer pays on a valuation of $2500. This means that it would cost him $12.50 a year to have cood roads but a dollar a month- end he would say. more than this imount in wear and tear on tires alone if he only drove a Ford to town on market days. It is estimated that the entire issue could be retired in from 15 to 20 years. This certainly looks like we can spend our money and have it, too, not wait ing for old age to enjoy the benefits of good roads, but ride on them as we pay for them. The meeting here yesterday and the one at Scio last week give evidence of the sentiment of the people, and there is ro doubt but that the gathering at Lebanon next Monday night will be a repetition of the first two.
