GOOD ROADS ADDRESS
Importance of Getting Better High
ways in State of Oregon Explained
by Portland Man.
FACTS AND FIGURES OF
INTEREST ARE PRESENTED
Work Already Accomplished Is Re
viewed and Necessity of Concerted
Action Is Pointed Out.

The big hall at the Commercial Club
rooms was comfortably filled last night
at o. 'clock when the Hon. P. II. D'Ar-
cy raped for order and in few well
chosen words presented ex-senator
Bourne, who came to this city for the
purpose of discussing his plan for feL'
erpl aid in the establishing Of sys.
TEN of good roads throughout the Uni.
ted States, Without preliminary flour
shes Of any kind Mr.. Bourne, in con-
versatiOnal tone, took the end of the
thread, so to speak, and rolled it off the
spool and up on another, explaining in
minute detail every feature of the plan,
which is based on the fact that the gen.
eral government can borrow money
more cheaply than can the states 1t
can borrow for three per cent, while
the states must pay four.
He proposes that the government ar
range for the issuance of 81 100000 900
three per cent 50-year bonds for road
building purposes This money to be
apportioned among the states in pro.
portion to population, wealth. area and
some other bases, Under this plan Ore

could call for this at the rate of 20 per
cent a year To protect the government
the state, when calling for the money,
would issue bonds and deposit in the

law (and it is optional with the states
to do SOY it would, in order to draw its
20 per cent, deposit with the U. s.
treasurer 4 per cent bonds running 80
years, in the sum of $3,320,000. 1t
would then be advanced this sum. On
this sum it would pay 4 per cent inter
est to the general government for so
years, or if it took out the whole sum,
lit would pay interest on this in the
amount of $66O,OOO yearly. OF this
sum the government would use three
fourths to cover its own interest charg-
es and the other fourth, or one per cent
interest on the whole amount, it would
put into a sinking fund on which it
would allow three per cent interest,
compounded annually. This would in
about AZ years equal the entire princi-
pal. At the end of the so years the
original bonds would be returned to
the state, Cancelled.
The senator then outlined the plan of
using the money which would be left
entirely to the states, the government
only supervising it to the extent of
seeing that the money was expended on
the roads. The plan also contemplates
a maintenance fund, the government
giving yearly 2 per cent of the sums
expended in building, in keeping them
in repair, conditioned on the state put
ting up the same amount.
He then went into the question of
the results and estimated that the build
building of these roads would increase
land values more than $7O,0OOOOO,O 1000,
and this with the other increases would
add more than $l00,0OO,000,O0 to the
wealth of the nation. He estimated
that the saving in the feeding of horses
and mules used in farming and hauling
would amount to $4,000 100000 a year.
Space forbids going into the full de-
tails Of the plan, but it seems well con.
sidered and feasible. 1t shows profound
research and a tremendous amount of la

alytical mind, and as he has figured out
the parcels post and the postal savings
banks, and shown that they are posi-
BILE and profitable, it can be assumed
that he is not making any mistakes in
his good roads plan.
He was warmly appauded at the
conclusion of his talk and was also
heartily congratulated by his friends
and admirers. He has already demon
strated that he is one of the country s
big men and when his road building
plan is success, as it seems certain to
be, he will be about as near the top in
the public estimation as a man can get.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion, wind, stomachache and ina.

nine cases out Of ten simply evidence
that fermentation is taking place in the
food contents Of the stomach, causing
the formation Of gas and acids. Wind
distends the stomach and causes that
full, oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the acid irri.
tates and inflames the delicate lining of
the stomach. The trouble lies entirely
in the fermentating food. Such fer
mentation is unnatural, and acid forma.
