I don’t know a more appropriate
text to apply to this road bonding
scheme than this, a thing conceived
in sin. born in iniquity and launched
upon the people unjustly.
Of all m-mions of the Oregon
legislature, the last one cops the
climax for its rottiness and unfaith­
fulness to the trust imposed in them
by the common people. Without
specifying all of their sins, the 46.-
006,600 binding bill is the bigest.

by the advocates of thia iniquitous
thing, but what is misleading and

410 per auto, you would have to

raise the 46.772.765 on a one-fourth
