THE FARMER AND THE ROAD BONDS
d to
SOME farmers living in isolated regions arc oppose,
the nix million dollar road bond issue because thev
nre tlie system of paved state highways will not benefit
them any although there is no cost to' them in increased
taxation.
That is where they figure wrongly.
The state highways will benefit the farmer more (han
any ofher class not only because the fanner will use por
tions of the paved roads, but because when the state takes
them over, it will release the counties from the expense of
construction and maintenance ot a considerable portion of
the county road systems, and enable the counties to ex
pend upon laterals the 'money that otherwise would be
pent on the mam highways.
The six million dollar bond issue provides for the Pa
cific highway, the Crater Lake highway, the (ireen Springs
Mountain road in .Jackson countv, coniprisinr the main I
roads of the county. The- money hitherto spent upon them
win he available lor the less important laterals.
I lie lioiul issue involves no increased taxation. It is
paid for, principal and interest, by the proceeds of the au-
j. I'l l -ti-i i -. . .
lomouiie licenses, which nave been aouMed. Jo change
the method of payment would invalidate the bonds.
hell interest, as well as patriotism and protrressiveness
should induce the Jackson countv farmer to vote for the
bonds for no countv will benefit, more bv them.

The same comparative showing is made by the other

the railroads have not submitted any evidence to prove
their contention. The federal commission appointed to

The normal increase in business has evidently more
than offset any raise in wages, or the Southern Pacific and
