Tho following letter from II J.
Tlcknor, an Influential resident of the
l-angcll Valley district. Is said to bo
Indlca'tlrn of tbe general sentiment
on tho road bond question In that
sectien:
1-anKell Valley. Feb. 13.
I Sec'y Chamber of Commerce, Klam

Dear Slri Vllogardlna th propo
. ,,!., ,..., .1 , n..
Ji WMU isauv uisvuuvu Wt MUMMIISS)
today. Feel that were each taxpayer
fully informed as to the actual facta,
there would 'tie no cause for doubt.
When wc face tbo fact that we arc
compelled to pay our share of tho
.state tax and that If wo fall to meet
tho state dollar for dollar we lose
our money why, where Is the argu
ment? W must admit that the old system
is as bad as thy roads that they
build. Alto, that system Is now tbe
Important thing In business; the old
hit and miss manner of spending the
people's money should be gone Wo
have spent thnusands und thouatids
uf dollars, patching hero nud (there,
and In tbo ond huso nothing to show
for tho money, except a few muddy
nnd dusty trail, an aggravation to
man nnd beast.
Tho statement wns mado that frcm
:."., 000 to '90,000 was necessary to
keep up this sort of work. N'ow It It
Is passible to get our main highways
taken over by tho state' and maintain
ed by tho state dune by systematic
forro of men, who uro over making a
study of tho best methods, in time
we will buvo roads of a permanent
nature. Ami with lew expense to the
tax-pa) er. As'uu Illustration of their
value, in UI12 I could have purchas
ed certain lauds In Ohio for J.'O.OO
per acre. Today they are selling the
same lauds for 'I30.00. In 1912
farmers who wore raising u great
many potatoes, wero compelled to
dump them on a glutted market In
tho fall. Or, on account of uncertain
road conditions, were compelled to
store them till spring, when the same
thing happened u glutted market.
Today they have puvod highways.
Trucka now como to tho furm. Tho
grower Is not compelled to move his
products off tho ranch. And still he
U ulilo to sell ut tho puuk price.
There U'unothor point which w,o
should not overlook. The 140.000,000
of bonds which tho tato Is spending
will not last ulwuys. If wo do not get
busy and get tho Klamath county
share, in ca.o tho people of tho state
refuse to vote more, where will Klam
ath County bo?
Without roads und mouey wo have
paid In to tbo Btuto to help build the
other fellow's roads. Therefore I be
lluvo It to be sound business to meet
tho state and government with dol
lar for dollar."
Yours truly,
