rAGE FOUR THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS MONDAY, MAY 14, 1917 INCREASED LICENSE : iAW NOWJN EFFECT To Insure Road Construction Automobiiists Should Vote For Road Bonds. 'Many automobile owners are ot the wplnton that tho law Increasing the license on motor vehicles Is Included mad made a part ot the 16,000,000 road Jwnd bill. In this they arc wrong. Tho automobile license was doubled 2a tho motor vehicle law which wai unacted by the last Legislature. It It now a law. The Increased automobile license will be hi effect and will be collected regardless of whether or not the road baud bill Is approved by the voters at thu June election. 1 1 urtheruiore, tho motor vehicle law contains a provision that the money raised from automobile licenses shall available for road construction un ler the plan outlined In the $6,000,000 road bond bill If tho bond bill carries. In other words. If the road bond bill Is defeated, the automobile llceusi "money may be used for other purposes. M the road bonds arc approved, tit. nutoxnobllc owner has the positive as xuranco that the money derived from the Increased automobile licenses will e expended hi building good roads. Remember this: The autoaiobili Dfrscr will have to pay the Increased license any way, regardless of the fate -of the J 6,000.000 road bond bill. A vote for the road bond bill by the automobile owner Is a vote for the . expenditure of the autom'obllc license money, which has to be paid anyway, In building a system ot state-wide per xnanent, hlghwaysaa outlined In the Toad bond bill. ' In voting for the road bond bill, the automobile owner will simply pave the "way for the expenditure ot license money that he will be required to pay, ia building serviceable hard-surfaced Toads in all sections ot the state. Every automobile owner Is directly -and personally Interested In the road 3)pnd bill. In voting for that measure ie will merely be asking that the rxaoney he will be required to pay any- i -way shall be spent In building roads. The automobile owner has everything to gain and nothing to lose by voting lor the road bonds.

It is safe to bet that the $6,000,000 state bonding measure will carry four to one, and that the county bonding measure will go through with a whoop; -for the people of this county are over "whelmtngly In favor ot a hard-surfaced 3hlghway through the county. And why shouldn't they be In favor of these measures when the highway can be obtained with state and Federal aid? Tlllamookers know a good thing when "they i:e It, and no one need be sur prised that they are all Jumping on the right side of the fence. We an tldJpate that those who are opposed to the bonding the state and the county lor good roads will soon be advancing the argument- that we should go slow -on account of the war, so as to scare people. It will not work, however, lor everybody knows that good roads are the first step to preparedness. Tillamook Herald.
