Our state ia now obligated to pay interest on about 120.000.000 on bond issues in the past anil almost to the limit of the bonded indebted- runs allowed by our state constitu- lion, yet our good mails enthusiasts are asking for another 110.000,000 and to do thia are asking the people to increaae the bond limit from 2 to 4 |ier cent of the bond limit for state Indebtedncaa. It will lie remembered that this paper <>pp.>*>*d the fO.OOO.QpO bond issue on the ground that it would be but the entering wedge for other like mimes In 1918 the people au thorized a aacond issue which about reached the state law limit of bond issues. The Portland bunch pleaded for the Aral m-ue stating ss a justifies turn that no part of the istue would be expended in .Multnomah county, but they did not fail to remember that a large part of the material would be | urchased in that county and most of the contractors and la bor would lie supplied by Multno mah county. Nor did they forget that the Columbia highway, which is scenic rather than commercial, would inure to Portland's benefit. Now between 517.000,000 and 518,000,000 of bonds have been is sued and thm scenic highway is not complete. The reason for the wast ■ ing of the jieople's money is evident.

If we add to this discount lorn the over head expense« of the commission we find that but about 50 cents of the dollar reaches road construction.

Most of these honds draw 4j per cent interest. If we place this in terest upon the actual amount which reaches the roads we find we are paying 18 psr cant interest oe Use , THE GOVERNORSHIP MUDDLE Meat Market Farmn, Atteitiaa HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT.
