Liberty Bonds and tlie Road Bonds go hand in hand to ask for the support of the citizens of the State of Oregon. The Lib erty Bonds are essential to the successful termination of the var financially and the Road Bonds are essential to the building of a system of highways in the State of Oregon, highways which tap the main arteries of trade and make for rapid military tran-tits. The United States government, through the Secretary of Agriculture and the National Council of Defense, is urging upon the various states the building of military roads. The govern ment urges the completion at once of those roads now in the course of construction and, the starting of new work as soon as it can be put under way. This is what the State Legislative Committee that framed ike bonding measure had in mind when they outlined a system cf highways throughout the State of Oregon which overlooked do section of the State. Primarily the roads are marketing mads, inasmuch as they tap that country in the producing sec tions. This in itself is invaluable from a military standpoint. If there are any people who have been skeptical about vot ing for the road bonding measure because this country is in a Kfate of war, that skepticism may at once be dispelled when Vncle Sam himself is urging the building of more and better roads at this time. , Again, some of those opposed to the bond bill have tried to euchre others into voting against the measure under the mis information of higher taxes. Oregon has been carrying on a f rusade against higher taxes for two years, and the leaders in fliat fight were the framers of the bonding measure. THEY SAW TO IT THAT TAXES WOULD NOT BE PILED HIGH ER THAN THEY ARE, FOR THEY PUT THE BURDEN OF THE $0,000,000 BONDING BILL UPON THE SHOULDERS CF THE OWNERS OF MOTOR YEHICLES. , The people of Oregon have been wallowing in mud up to tlieir necks every since the State was admitted to the Union, and before. Its high time we were pulling the old state out of the mud and PUTTING HER UP IN THE FRONT RANK WITH OTHER STATES OF THE NORTHWEST. ITS A PATRIOTIC DUTY THAT WE SHOULD NOT OVERLOOK WHEN WE GO TO THE POLLS MONDAY. VOTE 314 X YES. t-t Governor Withycomhe has appointed Chas. L. McNary of Salem, fonner member of the Supreme Court bench and chair man of . the Republican State Central Committee, to succeed Harry Lane as United States Senator from Oregon.

Some improvements on the main street are being made, the steep grade near the school house being graded down and the street in front of the bank and postoflice being filled in.
