Good roads will reduce the cost of
marketing crops one third to one
half" said Mr.. Bourne. in discussing
the subject. This will leave larger
margin of profit for the producer.
Highways that are in good passable
condition at all times of the year win
make rural life more attractive and
therefore create more demand for
farm land This demand will result
in smaller farms. more intensive cul-
tivation. heavier production, in
creased population. and. consequent
ly. much higher valuations. especi-
ally i'm the newer and undeveloped sec
tions. Better farming communities
make better and larger towns. City
property in community having
good roads is more desirable and more
valuable than similar property in a
region having poor roads

That a comprehensive system of
good roads throughout the United
States would add hundred billion
dollars TO the wealth of the country.
Is the assertion OF former Senator
Jonathan Bourne. Jr., who was In
Pendleton last week to attend the
Roundup. Bourne is chairman of a
joint congressional committee on fed
eral aid TO good roads and In that ca
pacity has spent more than a year in
the study of the problem. He has
worked out and submitted to his COM
mittee plan Of federal participation
in road construction and mainten-
ance and Is confident taat this plan
will be adopted unless "a better one

These facts are well known and
are ample justification for extensive

question is how we shall raise the
funds with which to prosecute the
road work. The usual method of rails
ing funds where the expenditure is
heavier than the taxpayers feel able
to bear Immediately is by the issu-
