Much Too Heavy, View SALEM, Ore., rob. 8. (AP) Gov ernor Martin Is "unalterably" oppos cd to the suggestion of State Senator ChlnnoelE of Josephine county that reconstruction of the Pacific highway between Grants Pass and Roseburg be financed by a S7.000.000 bond la- sue, the Capital Journal said today. The paper quoted the governor as follows: "I appreciate the need for Improve ment of this Important ecctlon of highway and am fully in sympathy with Senator Chinnock and the offi cials of the Pacific Highway a Ni dation In then efforts to secure a road adequate to meet the demands placed upon It, but I cannot consent to the aale of more state bonds for any purpose except In cases of ex treme emergency. Bond Load Too Heavy "Oregon has been bonded for this purpose and that until the burden has become so heavy as to be prac tically unbearable. "During my campaign for election 7 stated that, If elected, one of my objectives would be to eliminate the bonded debt of the highway depart ment and put road building In Ore gon on a pay as-you -go baals. "I have not changed my mind, nor my objective. 'If we are ever to put road build lng and maintenance on a business but la we must adopt and stay with a policy confining expenditures to actual revenues and eliminate heavy Interest charges. Even now our Interest bill on state highway bonds Is annually more than 60 per cent oi the amount of principal requirements. "We cannot afford to pay twice for the roads we construct. Sees Interference Governor Martin also deprecated what be said waa a hint of legis lative Interference in the affairs of the highway department contained In the announcement of Senator Chlnnock and the voluntary endorse ment of the bonding plan given by Senator Walter Fisher of Douglas county. 'The success of the highway ad ministration In Oregon has-been due to the absence of politics In the af fairs of the commission," he said. "To permit legislative Interference In the administrative functions of the commission would be to Invite log rolling and lobbying. "1 have been over this piece of road many times and fully agree that it should be modernlred, But I feel that we would be establishing an unsound and dangerous prece dent to finance Improvement through a bond Issue." GRANTS PASS, Feb. 8. (AP) While Senator James T, Chlnnock. who proposed a 97,000,000 bond Issue for Improvement of the Pactflo high way and C. H. Demsrny, president of the Oregon Pacific Highway associa tion, declined to comment i on Gov ernor Martin's opposition today, one apparent reaction waa noted here. It waa satisfaction with Governor Martin's statement agreeing with the need for Improvement of the high way. With the governor' support, state highway commission surveys already made, and general agreement of cities slong the highway. It was believed a forward step has been made even If the bond Issue proposal Is rejected. No comment waa made concerning further support for the bond Issue, proposed to follow the same program as the bonds voted by the state last year for the coast highway, when 3.000,000 wna provided for construc tion of bridges. 2 ENLIST IN NAVY OeoTKT K.
