SETS A RECORD OrcKon Securitie Sold in 1919 Total an ImmcriHe Sum Oregon bonds sold in 1020 Is a re cord breaker for amounts mainly for development work In the state. The Oregon voter in Its issue of February 21 gives in part the following re port: All previous records for issues of bonds by the State of Oregon and its subdivisions were broken in 1V10 In all, approximately (19,000,000 were issued and sold during the year eusiderably more than the high re cords attained during the boom per iod of street paving and municipal improvement of ten year ago. In stead of being expended for local im provements, the proceeds have gone mainly for good roads, irrigation port development and other development of general rather than local benefit. In past years, The Voter has sound ed a note of caution to taxpayers, with reference to bond issues. All of these bunds must be paid as to principal and interest, and the gen eral taxpayer is their guarantor. The state highway bonds will be f inane-. ed by the increasing revenues' from motor license fees, the local impro vement and Irrigation district bonds, by the property benefitted, the water bonds out of water revenues but the j county road bonds, the school bonds and the general obligation bonds of the cities must all be paid by the ' taxpayer direct, both as to principal and interest. Oregon taxpayers may be eongrat-, ulated that the State did not start on its bonding until long after other' states had learned expensive lessons at the expense of their taxpayers. In so many of the eastern, central and southern states, local and state bonds were issued for a length of term en tirely regardless of the life of the improvements they financed. Little judgement was exercised as to the purpose for which they were issued. Politicians paid current government ex enses out of bond issues, to taxes could be cut at the time. Sooner or later mostly later, after the pur pose of the bond issues had been for gotten these bonds became due, and either had to be paid or refunded. This kept on, until today in some parts of several states, more than one-third of all the taxes collected arc required to finance interest on bands the ben fits of which were dis sipated long ago. This means that in those communities, taxes are 50 per rent higher than they would have been if sound practiceae had been followed in state and municipal finance. Oregon has escaped all this. With few exceptions, and those of insig nificant volume, Oregon and its sub divisions have issued bonds for terms as short as, or shorter than, the ex pected life of the improvements thut were financed by the bond issues.
