THE ROAD QUESTION.
CCoatipued From Page H.

NNNAAAhhou FROM GdHo Re-
matter of course then the question
would have to be submitted to the
voters of our county for approval
or rejection.
With this amount of money we
could build perhaps one hundred
miles of good permanent pixies
probably more. One thing is GER
tain: We can build roads as cheap
in Benton County as they can be
built in any hilly county. We
have the advantage of an unlimit-
ed supply of gravel and it is well
distributed.
This would, of course, cause an
increase in our taxes of perhaps Is
to so cents on the 500 worth of
property. This special tax need
not all be laid on real or personal
property. | would suggest that
transfers and haulers (including
liverymen) other than farmers
should be required to pay a priv
lege tax, and not only should this
privilege tax be levied on those
who do heavy hauling, but also on
those who habitually do light driv-
ing. In this way q considerable
part of this money could be raised.
Though ofcourse real estate should
bear the greatest part of the bur-
den incurred.
BY all means let's have the bond
issue. Being in debt couldn'tpos-
sibly be half so bad as our roads.

SHOESTRING CASE SOON TO
BE DECIDED BY COURT
San Pedro Annexation Litigation, Now
Pending in Court, Will Give
Los Angeles a Harbor.
Briefs Ready

City Attorney Hewitt has completed
briefs in the shoestring annexation case.
Both sides have closed their argu-
ments and the case will be submitted at
once to get an edrly decision.
The decision means a great deal to Los
Angeles. as annexation gives the city
harbor.
George H. Peck of San Pedro, who is
the plaintiff, alleges that annexation pre-
vents the city of Wilmington from ex-
tending westward, because the city's
boundary begins there He also alleges
that the election notice was not pub
lished ten days, as required by the char
ter, and that the people were allowed
only twenty-nine days to register in
stead of forty days, as at general cleo
tions.
The city answers that the shape and
size of strip to be annexed is legislative
and political action not in the courts s
Jurisdiction. The shoestring election was
held under the state not the city, char
ter law. Finally, 1t is stated in reply,
that the great register opens at the be-
ginning of every numbered year, hence
the voters have had every opportunity
to register.
