T1IUU8DAY. APRIL 10, 1817. AQB FOUR TUB SPRINGFIELD NEWS lfi 5 EVERYBODY WANTS IMPROVED ROADS Wan That Will Insure State Better Highways te Be ' Voted Upon in June. Everybody wsnts good roads. The seed for Improved highway U admit ted. Every oltlicn Is anxious and willing to pay hla ahara toward the coat of building good road. All tha tsdlTldual ever baa tnalated upon, and li asking today la that the public re ceive one dollar ot value for every dollar expended In road construction. Frequently In (he past the public baa sot received full valua from these ex penditures. Uut thla has boon due Invariably to tho lack ot a systematic plan ot road building and an Intelli gent supervision of the work by publlo offtolals charged with disbursing tho fund. The last Legislature, however, pro tided the necessary legislation for In troducing In Oregon a systematic and Intelligent campaign for the slate-wldo construction of permanent hard sur face highways. A complete road codo was adopted and a Highway Commis sion created for Its administration. Another measure provided for Issu--ance of bond aggregating $1,800,000 -with which to match an equal amount Torovlded by the Government, under the Shaekleford Aot, for the construe- Hon of post roads and forest roads. Most important of the Legislative Bieasures was that authorizing ine is- sue ot bonds to tho amount ot $6,000, 000 tor the construction ot main trunk lines throughout the state. At the saca time, another bill was passed doubling the annual license on all au tomobiles and mutor vehicles. The revenue from this source, together with the money derived from the ex isting one-fourth mill road tax will saeet all interest charges ot the pro posed bond Issue and retire the bonds 'without adding a dollar to the direct taxes of the individual. Of these various measures, only one the $6,000,000 Bond Bill will be submitted to the voters for their ap proval at tho special election, June 4th. This measure aaks nothing ot anybody except that which he must pay under laws which go Into effect regardless ot whether the bond Issua "bt adopted. All manner of safeguards kav been provided outside the bond ing act. The Highway Commission has been reorganized, methods ot road construction have been reformed, competition In contracts has been made compulsory and an antt-consplr-acy bill has been passed. Amortiza tion tables show that the Income now irrevocably provided will retire the 16,000,000 bond issue, meet the re quirements of the Federal Act, pro tide maintenance of roads and leave a surplus even if there be no Increase In assessed value or number of auto mobiles. Approval of the bond measure by the voters Is all that Is needed to car- ry out the good roads campaign effec- . h b atheB lhe splril of lively. Indorsement of the bonds at ' F this year.

The personnel ot the Commis sion Is a guarantee that all road funds -coming Into IU hands will be dis bursed wisely and economically. "EVERY PRODUCER WILL BE AIDED. tood roads concern and should In terest every citizen. They reduce the cost per ton to the producer In mar keting his products. This Is an Im portant factor in determining the ulti mate cost to the consumer. Good roads mean a substantial saving in ilie operating oust of 36,000 motor ve hicles in this state and will effect a further saving of at least 10 per cent In the depreciation of all vehicles. These two items amount Into almost incredible sums annually. All money raised for good roads will be expended In this state, contributing to the wel fare of all. Good roads Increase the 'value of all land contiguous to the highways that are Improved. This stimulates road construction in other communities.
