MAKING WAR LOANS POPU
LAR " The government's plan to poo
ularize the "liberty loan" i3
greatly approved by the busi
ness men of the nation who real
Ize the desirability of giving a .
wide circulation, not only to the
first but to all other war bond
Isues it places before the people
of the United States.
A two-year war will draw
lieavily on our financial resour-
ces. Congress has already vot-
ed $7,000,000,000 and will be
forced to appropriate additional
billions for the growth and main
tenance of the army and navy,
and for the prosecution of th
republic's war aims and for the
lurtherance of the financial in
terests of our allies.
The finances of the allies
must be' kept intact and is one
Of the most important factors ill
the moves of the treasury dc-1
rv,0f r. iof tu
British government needs $100, j
000,000 to supply her need for
themonth of May. She has al
ready borrowed one half this
amount. In addition, the
United States government will
continue to extend credit to
Prance .Belgium Italy and Rus
sia, together with other nations
that seem to be in need of help.
' The successive war bondisssues
floated by this country should
be absolved, as nearly as possi
ble, by the general public. Ef
forfs are to be made to reach
the majority of the people.es
pecially those who have not in
vested in government securities.
The bonds must be put out in
Bmall denominations in order to
fit the small investor's pocket
book. "In this way, millions of
dollars, that otherwise would
not figure in the treasury de
partment's calculations, will be
made available for investment
in federal securities. Of equal
importance is the fact that the
repeated loans will draw to a
materitflly lessefc extent upon
tho liquid capital of the country,
jupon which business necessarily
3nust continue to depend.

"The Road Bond Bill"
Sprlngflold, Oregon, MaylB, 1917. To
tho Editor:
Tho' a Into day, and utter others

! niont road question, undor tho Impend

allow a .say from another votor of tho
I state, by giving n fow oplnloua amou

there would be nn entering wodgu

Another reason Is, not only Ore-
Ron, but tho whole nation needs harl
surfaced roads for wngon, nuto and
truck use, because of distressingly
poor railroad transportation. Tha
way the average railroad Is managed

WHAT GOOD ROADS
MEAN TOFARMERS
So von Portland Hotels Alone
Dlsburso $350,000 Annually
For Ranch Products.
Seven of Portland's loading hotels
annually dlsburno among Oregon pro
ducers $350,000 for tho products ot
tho farm. Of that total at least $210,
000 Is distributed direct to tho small
farmer for poultry, butter, eggs,. milk,
cream and vegetables, The remain
ing $U0,000 Is paid put for ham, ba
con, fish and fresh moat.
Although the foregoing figures nro
those ot tho hotels which handle tio
bulk of tho transient travel In Port
laud, they do not show nil that tho
transient travel means to tha Oregon
farmer.
Hundreds ot tourists frequently
take their meals at a grill, restaurant
or cafeteria not connected with tho
hotel ut which they aru registered.
It obtainable these figures would ma
terially swell tho grand total ot what
this business means to Oregon pro
ducers. Ono of the arguments used against
the six million road bond bill Is thnt
the roads to be hard surfaced under
tho provisions of th- muasuro will be
"scenic roads" rather than market
roads. The figures quoted above
would Indicate that the farmer bus a
direct and material Interest in any
plan of road building such as Is pro
vided for It It will make more acces
sible a market such as Portlund af
fords for his products.
As an illustration of what good
roads mean to the farmer ono Port
land hotel pays one producer annually
S30Q0 for ecKs alone. Ho navs 33
tho completion ot the roads desig
nated In the bond bill Oregon will at
tract a good share of tho tourist busi
ness now largely monopolized by Cali
fornia ami estimated to bo worth to
thnt slate annually $200,000,000.
ARE YOU THE OWNER
OF AN AUTOMODILE7
If there were only ono reason why
every automobile owner should go to
the polls June 4 1 tt . and voto "Yej'
on the $0100,1100 road bond bill It li
bucuusc automobile owners will pay
for these Improvements by their In
creased licenses,
But they will savo sovcrnl times
the amount of their license In wear
and tear of machines, tire mllcagu
and gasoline.
Auto owners will havo to pay tho
Increased feo regardless of whether
or not the road bond bill Is upproved
at the June election.
It the $6,000,000 road bond bill is
approved by the people, the money
derived therefrom will .be expended
In the construction of a statc-wldo
system of permanent roads.
County money now spent on mnln
trunk Hues will be used on laterals
and less traveled roads If the road
bonds carry at the special election on
June 4th.
"During the past winter, sheepmen
In my section of tho stato lost fully
40 per cent of tholr lambs owing to
the weather and the inability to tran
sport feed from the railroads because
of the Impassable condition ot tho
roads," reports O. M. Rlakoly, a prom
inent Grant County sheepman. "With
.the good roads provided in tho $6,000,-
000 road bond bill wo would have
been able to get the necessary stock
food and reduced to a minimum the
loss of lambs. With tho bottomless
roads we now have In our part of
the state, that was impossible. This
Is an element that enters Into the
prevailing high cost of living. Less
stock means constantly Increasing
higher prices. The people of my
county are emphatically for the road
bond bill and any other legislation
that will Improvo existing conditions
In the matter of transportation In ru
ral communities."
"With good roads, Eastern Linn
County can produce and market thou
sands of tons of good products from
land now given over entirely to graz
ing purposes," announced Oeorgo 01
tendorfer, a good roads booster of
Cascadla, who walked 16 miles to at
tend a recent good roads meeting at
Lebanon. "With our present poor
roads, It Is Impossible for us readily
to reach the market with such prod
ucts, with the result that this acre
age, so adapted for agriculture, Is
chiefly valuable only for grazing pur
poses. With good roads that would
make markets moro available, stock
can bo moved farther back and this
land developed In an agricultural
way, In this way, tho further settle
ment of the state would be uldcd with
a consequent increase in tho states
production of food products."
Considering the activities ot State
Master Speuce on the one hand and
the number of favorable resolutions
passed by Individual granges on the
other, so far as tho grange Is con
cerned In the bond proposition it ap
pears a case of whether tho dog shall
wag tho tall or the tall wag the dog.
Hlllsboro Independent.
The stato pamphlet on the six mil
lion dollar bonding measure will soon
be In the hands of the voters. Do
not throw It awav without a careful
stUdy. This seems like an opportunity
for improved roads that we are not
likely to get again if now turned
down. Hcrmlston Herald,
