decided to come nt nil. It was a real
tax, too, nnd si direct one. I had to

'That's expensive. That's poor bus

pood ronds and tho promised l"00.
000 bond taiio. After riding over
your roads I see thai n bond issue is
necessary. You can build n compre
hensive system in no other way. The
one great defect in your roads here
is their location. They po over the
mountains. They should po around
them. Then you would find that the
mileage would be no greater and the
grade would he infinitely better.
"I nin often asked as to what is the
best material for od ronds! I must
reply that the host material is brains.
What might be pod material in one
location nnd one climate might not
be of any use in another..
'Your bond issue for good roods,
would not be debt, but an invest
ment. Good ronds mean good busi
ness. I am now the master of the
Enterprise Orange in Klickitat coun
ty. Washington. Wo have built twelve
miles of good ronds, about the dis
tance between Ashlnud nnd Med

lished. "Why did we build these pood
roads? For fun, as a fadt No. to
make money. Listen. Before that
road was built the farmers got $19 n
ton for vegetables and the people in
town paid $40 n ton for the snmr
vegetables. Now the farmers receive

dwelt nt some length upon tho use
of convicts on the roads of the state.
He also pledged 23 convicts to Jnck
son county for nso on tho Crater
Lake road, if tho county wanted
them. He stated that he was hearti
ly in favor of good roads.
Mr. Hill spoke at some length nud
illustrated his remurks. He said ir.
part :
"f had to pay a tns to enter this
thnigo Bend nnd on to Klamath hns
scenic wonders which can scarcely be
excelled. But what good nro they?
Who knows about them?
The trouble with the wonders nnd
the resources of Orcpon is that no
one can get to them. They are about
ns accessible ns tho moon. What is
the remedy? Good ronds. Building
good ronds is simply the development
of your greatest resource."

Mr. Thomson delivered n very in
teresting talk on roads. ''The pop
ulation of n country," he said, "does
not depend upon its natural resourc
es alone. The nature of the people
is n factor. The accessibility of the
markets is another factor. Do you
realize that the stnte of Oregon is
hnlf as large as the entire Gennnti
empire? And that while there nre
less than n million people in this
stnte, thero nre 110,000,000 of people
in Germany? Why is that true? Very
largely because the prime necessity
of easy communication between n
people. He followed the example of
Cacser and Napoleon nnd ordered
tho construction of hundreds of miles
of permanent highways. What is
the result? Every acre of tillable
land si cultivated. Every man hns
a market for his products. Every
inch of the empire is accessible. That
wns wisdom on the part of one man.
To pass the $1,500,000 bond issue for
good ronds in Jackson county would
be wisdom on the part of the people."
