Malheur county can well afford to court the favor o f the d aily industry because o f its im portance to the county. Dairying undoubtedly will always be one of the major agricultural activities in the county and will probably be the basis of at least some of the industrial develop ment of the territory. Recause o f the essential element o f dairying, it always has been and probably always will be an anchor to prevent the farmer from slipping into the swift current o f financial bankruptcy during periods o f “ hard times” . WE WILL VOTE ON BETTER ROADS Already burdened with the costs o f improve ments incident to urban and rural growth, Malheur county is still faced with the problem WOMEN WILL PLAN PROGRAM FOR YEAR All home economics extension un CHARLES KEIPLINGER CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN N O M IN A TIO N COUNTY COMMISSIONER its will plan their program May 18 at the Women’s clube^use in On tario. announces Miriam J.

I am a farmer, and I aim also tihe owner of the Pioneer Sand nnd Gravel company, and I am very much interested in good roads In the county for all of us. I believe the county ought to be divided into districts with three directors and one road supervisor in each district. I would opipose buying $180,000.00 worth of equipment. It would depreciate 50 per cent the first year and be a wreck the second year. The county can contract their roads gravelled cheap er than they can maintain their equipment and hiie labor. $180,000.00 will go a long way towards gravelling our main roads. Let each district keep all road tax money that is coll ected in their district. Give their supervisor a local crew; one which will be on the Job and get something done. W liy send men from Vale to Dead Ox Flat to do a job, when (here are men there who can do the work. They don't need an engineer to tell (hem where the mud holes are. They know and It don't need surveying. It needs gravel and drainage. Yours Rcsi>ectfully, ) CHARLES KEPLINGER Paid pollticnl adv. by Chas. Keplinger, Vale, Ore. OREGON o f road improvement. A t the primary election to be held May 21, residents of the county will be asked by the county court to approve a measure providing for a 10-mill levy each year for a period of five years for road improvement. The proposal would raise approximately $230,000 a year, which county officials reported would be ade quate for a road betterment program covering the entire county. Roads in the county are reported to be in a deplorable condition and not in any way suit- ab e for the ever-increasing traffic that is de- ve oping from the increasing population and agricultural activity. The work o f the Nyssa road assessment district is an outstanding ex ample of what can be accomplished with a reasonable amount o f money. The county court, studying the situation for several months, has gathered all of the inform ation that it can for the enlightenment of tax payers about the proposed road work. The of ficials have outlined a definite program includ ing employment of an engineer, classification of roads and purchase of equipmenf, that will be placed in effect if the voters approve the plans. Because of the six per cent limitation law, the county cannot possibly raise enough money to buy new equipment and improve the roads under the regular budget system. The money must be raised by a special method of some type. Conditions have answered the question as to whether the county needs the roads, but the taxpayers will have to decide the question as to whether the money is to be provided.
