ANOTHER ANTI-BOND
ISSUE EXPLODED
Opponents 1 Maliciously Allege
That Only a Few Counties
Will Benefit.
r
la an attempt to array different
counties against tho 6,000,000 road
bond bill, opponents ot the measure
re maliciously alleging that Tew
counties will bo ablo to avail them
aelrea ot the bond measure for the
xeason that tho cost of preparing
xoads for hard-surfacing under tho
terms of tho bond bill will excoed the
Actual cost ot hard-surfacing and,
therefore, be greater than thoso coun
ties can afford.
Meeting this misrepresentation, the
State Highway Commission at Its re
cent mooting in Salem reiterated its
"previously announced policy on this
aubjeot All that will be required of
the counties under this policy will be
tho preparation of grade of the roads
to be hard-surfaced. This means
that a county will merely need to bring
a road to grade and drain it before
the state applies the hard-surfacing.
"The rock base is considered a part of
-the hard-surfacing and will be built by
he state, assures the Highway Com
mission. POLK COUNTY IS
FOR GOOD ROADS
"The people or my county are Just
hout ready to adopt the good roads
slogan' of the Clatsop County enthusi
asts 'Make It Unanimous so far as
the $6,000,000 road bond bill Is con
cerned," reports C. L. Hawley, farm
er and stockgrower ot McCoy, Polk
County. "Of course, the voters of my
Ijomo county are not a unit for the
measure, but I find very little opposi
tion to It
"I think I am safe in saying that un
2ter the present system ot road con
struction in this state and considering
-the amount of money we have expend
ed on them, the roads ot Polk County
compare favorably with those ot any
other county in the state. But we are
not satisfied. We want more and bet
ter roads' and believe the proposed
"bond measure offers a practical plan
for Inaugurating an era ot permanent
road construction from which every
.section of the state will benefit with
out increasing direct taxes.
"When it comes to a choice between
"being in mud up to our knees or be
ing In debt up to our knees my people
Are willing to assume something of
jl financial obligation if It will Insure
.setting us out of the mire."
Harvey Q. Starkweather, of Mllwau
Vie, Clackamas County, for 23 years a
member of the Orange and who as
sisted in drafting the rural credits leg
islation in thtB state, has the follow
ing to say In approval of the pending
36,000,000 road bond bill:
"I am not prepared to say whether
this bill is as good as the one pro
Tosed by the State Grange committee
-or not. but the question now up to the
Oregon voter Is upon the bond issue,
and speaking from the standpoint of
a farmer and Granger since 1894 I
i?fl that the state's interest will be
"iet served by an affirmative vote on
3hi; measure next June, and I sincere
ly hope when the whole question has
in carefully studied that the Grang
ers of the State, Including the State
Waster, will be found on the side or
progress, assisting to pull Oregon out
of the mud.
"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. Un
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 means a heavy tax up
on the fanners of today if roads are
really made good, or It means a con
tinual tinkering with the roads and
aventually getting no real improve
ment." In an editorial Indorsing the good
roads bond bill, the Portland Journal
-eald lu part:
Shall we go on wasting tax money ln
the filling of mud holes or shall we
concentrate our expenditures on the
most important roads and when they
re made efficient pass ori to the next
.In importance and so' onT
Shall we continue to spend forty or
'.fifty million dollars during the next
Hen years without system, as at pres
ant, or shall we spend that amount ln
a buslness-llko way on some definite
plan?
AVe can not get away from the
(act that we must spend for good
roails wether we have them or not.
Hue state bonding act (good roads)
.'ilo.ea not mean that an indeptedness
urjjl be incurred. It means that the
itSte will use Its credit to ,buU4 .
Hard urfaco road In different parts o
(ifii state which the ret'cu.-A '.;':.
