L. N. RONEY'S PLATFORM
In submitting my candidacy for the nomination of County Commissioner of Ijtno
County on the republican ticket at the primary election to be held on May 1!, 1 5122, I desire
to make certain specific and definite statements relative to whut I propose to assist in
accomplishing.
LANE COUNTY TAXES
Although state taxes for 15J21 were prac
tically the Baine In amount as they were In
15120, for Lane County, yet county and local
taxes have actually been Increased enough
to make a 132.000 net increase for the whol-j
of Lane County for l'J22. Thus we see that
taxes in Lane County are constantly grow
ing more burdensome, and the only way to
reduce taxes is to practice the- most riglu
economy in the administration of county
affairs in every detail of public expenditure.
In my opinion. Court House expenses can
and should be curtailed, if elected. I shall
use. my best efforts to cut down Court House
expenses to I he minimum consistent with
efficiency and business requirements. All
County Court officers ami employes of the
county entrusted with the disbursement of
county funds should be required to exercise
the same economy in the disbursement of
public money and the same efficiency in the
discharge of their respective official duties
as are required by private business enter
prises in the conduct of their business af
fairs. MARKET ROAD FUND
The present Market Ilwad Law went Into
effect in 1H20. Since that date Lane
County has received from this market road
fund $r.".jl8.00 In 15120 and $50,141100 In
1921 and $50,3 13.00 lu 15122. or a grand total
of $li;, 407.00 within the last three years.
Just how much of this enormous sum ha.s
been transferred to other funds or otherwise
diverted from the use contemplated by the
law is not within the realm of conjecture, but
certain It is that our market roads have not
received the attention to which they are en
titled: therefore, I am firmly of the opinion
that market road funds should be expended
on market roads which are essentially far
mer's roads rather than on the Pacific
Highway, which is a state road.
SPECIAL ROAD TAX FUND
All sections of Lane County should re
ceive their Just proportion In the expendi
ture or road money. Special road tat
money should be used only where it is voted
to be used by the taxpayers who voted that
tax. I am unalterably opposed to the shift
lng or transfer of such funds after they have
been voted and assigned to the budget.
ROAD MAINTENANCE
I am heartily In favor or road mainten
ance. The roads heretofore constructed
should be kept in good repair and patrolled
by men known to be vigilant In the enforce
ment of the law regulating the speed of auto
mobiles and the overloading of freight
trucks. These highly destructive abuses of
our public roads can only be corrected by the
constant and systematic attention of a vig
orous and vigilant road patrol,
ROAD AND BRIDGE PROGRAM
I do not desire to obtain a single vote by
deception or through misapprehension,
therefore It Is right and proper that I should
frankly and openly stale my position upon
the-road and bridge program of Lane
County.
BRIDGE BUILDING
I have followed the business of bridge
building for more than 4( years. If elected
I shall myself superintend with the assist
ance of a competent foreman-- the const ruc
tion of bridges in Ijine County. 1 can do so
without Interfering in the least with the
other duties of the office and thereby save
to the taxpayers of Ijtne County the salary
now paid to the bridge superintendent. I
am fully eonscioiiH of my ability to build
bridges much cheaper than Is now Im-Iiv,
done under the present management.
EXTRAVAGANT EXPENSE
It is my candid opinion that the progress
of Lane County depends largely upon the
development of our county road system;
therefore, we should at all times guard
against extravagant expenses and strive to
obtain a dollar's worth of work or merchan
dise for each dollar expended. 1'nder the.
present management our roads and bridges
are, In my opinion, costing entirely too much
money mid owrhead expenses are out of ail
proportion to actual construction aceni
pllshed. I am decidedly lu favor of a less
number of road and bridge bosses, therefore,
more and better roads and bridges for the
same amount expended For the past sev
eral years Iane County has employed a
bridge superintendent at $175.00 per month
and a road superintendent at $225.00 per
month. Kadi of these superintendents have
a foreman on each Job under construction
and these foremen receive a good salary. It
elected it is my purpose to see that the tax
payers of Lane County shall receive substan
tial tax reduction by reason of the absolute
elimination of all superfluous bosses and
superfluous tax-eaters to be found on Lane
County's pay roll.
COUNTY OWNED CARS AND TRUCKS
The five county-owned automobiles and
two or more freight trucks should be used
for county business only, not for pleasure,
not for private business or by families of
county officials or employes. The unoffi
cial use of these county-owned cars, to
gether with the consequent sonsumptlon of
county owned gasoline, should be positively
prohibited.
PLATFORM PLEDGES
I desire that the people o.f Lane County
shall know that I am under no obligation,
pledge or promise to any office-holder
whomsoever. I am not a member of any
political ring or clique of any kind what
ever. If elected I will perform the duties ol
the office without fear or favor and with a
due regard for the upbuilding of Lane Coun
ty and the best Interests of the taxpayers
and I hereby solemnly promise to Btand by
and faithfully fulfill the above and foregoing
platform pledges to the very best of my
ability.
L. N. RONEY.
