J CAGE FOUR THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS MONDAY, MAY 28, 1017 FINAL WORD ON ROAD BOND BILL Provides Immediate Construc tion of Permanent Highways Without Increasing Taxes. Much has been said In opposition to the Rood roads bond bill that has no bearing whatever on the measure and 'which could be designed only to poi son and prejudice the voters against It. That being the ense, the following per tinent facts are submitted for the in iormatlon and thoughtful considera tion of the Impartial voter ou th eve of tho apecl.u election June 4th: This road bond bill proposes the Is suance of G,000.000 twenty-five year four per cent bouds for the construc tion of a system of state-wide hard surfaced highways. The roads to be Improved are designated In the bill -and Include the main-traveled roads throughout tho state Adequate revenue has been provided by statute for paying both Interest -and principal and retire the bonds at maturity without Increasing taxes. The money derived from the increased automobile licenses and the existing quarter-mill stato road tax will pay the interest and retire the bonds and 3rare a substantial balance for the destruction of other roads not enum erated in the bond biU. The increased automobile license -and the state road tax are provldod by statutes now In effect and will have to be paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are voted at the special election Juno 4th. The automobile owner Is willing to S&y the Increased license. All that he aalu is that the license money, which iiaa to be patd anyway, be expended In constructing the roads proposed in the bond bill. The automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the interest charges and retire the bonds. He fails to see why there should be any opposition to the ex penditure of the money so provided in the construction of good roads, In view T the fact that It is his money that Kill pay for the Improvements. All of the money raised from the bonds will be expended under the di rection of the State Highway Commis sion, appointed by Governor Withy HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING .SENDS OUT FLAG LESSON Local Red Cross Chapter Appoints A F Simple Facts About Old Glory Committee and Receive Work.

(PROVIDES GOOD ROADS WHERE MOST NEEDED 1 am for the road bond Issue be cause 1 believe It will give us of Ore gon good roads and at phtces where we have not good roadB now, and where we need them most. There is ocly one plan before us by which we ".may obtain some really good and serr lo able roads and that is the present scheme of permitting the state to sell 46.000,000 In four per cent serial bonds to be redeemed both In principal and Interest by the revenue derived from a state tax on automobiles. If we do t adopt this plan we of Oregon will continue as we have already continued too long, with poorly drained, wretch tdly located and miserably surfaced Toads, impaBsable In winter and im practical and expensive at all times. Hufus C. Holrnan, President of State Association of County Judges and County Commissioners. . WHAT GOOD ROADS " MEAN TO MOTORISTS 1 "Every motorist has observed how his r ear accelerates when lie goes from an unimproved road to a stretch of hard surfaced; but he may not realize bow large a saving of power and gasoline that acceleration represents. If he were to travel over a hard even sur face habitually instead of over the average country road, his gasoline bill 'uld bo greatly reduced. A motorist ' 3n Mississippi has figured out that hard-surfaced roads In his community . Mvs.hJin 30 per year in the gasoline . MBiumed by a single car. 111 the face of these facts. Is there 'Jay possible reason why every auto BQOllle owner should not vote for the v16,000,000 good roads bond bill! ijoor roads are very expensive things 9ur country communities. The farmer wks thinks, that Improved highways are mainly for the benefit or those who drive Butomobiles should reflect on the revilt ot a recent investigation by the Department ot Agriculture, which finds that the cost ot haulln farm jroduco over ordinary country oadB Is 23 cents a tou, whereas over rasrd-purfaccd roads It Is only 13 cents, Fact and Comment In Youth's Coin- sjitxi. , V.M If, 1J.17.
