A SUGGESTION TO THE WA

~ NE objection raised here
W 10 the advice for back
yard farming is that in

THE ROAD BOND BILL

T HE fact the East Oregon
VI ian is disposed to favor
the road bond bill viii
mot deter this newspaper from
presenting both sides of the
argument, as will be seen by
the letter from the Farmers
| Union local given space today
Frankly, however. the OBJ.
Ijections raised do not seem inn
pressive to this newspaper
Whether the bonds are voted
or not the auto licenses and the
millage tax will have to be paid
Just the same. Then why nol
get the roads2 Where would
there be any economy in voting
them down?
Good roads are of value
from military standpoint, as
has been shown in Europe and
On our Mexican border. They
are also of use for civilian pur-
poses in time of war. If our
railroads should be tied up
through freight congestiOns,
car shortage, seizure by the
government for war purposes,
or by damage to tunnels or
bridges the existence of good
highways would be a godsend.
They would aid crop moving
as well as passenger traffic. kn
fact they would become our
chief reliance.
AS to the merits of bonding
VS.. the pay-as-you-go policy OF
roadbuilding the fact we have
the six per cent limit on tax
increase makes the bond plan
the only course if real results
are to be secured. The six per
cent amendment so restricts
the legislature and the county
courts that it will be impossible
to carry out any comprehensive
road building program by use
Of current funds. Were it pos
sible to use only current funds
the course would not be equit-
able. Permanent highways
will be used for many years,
why should not the cost be so
distributed that future auto
owners and future taxpayers
will meet their share of the
Eurden?
/. If the work to be done is
needed and can be done effici-
emily and at a Just cost there is
no reason why anyone should
Shiver because the money is to
be raised by bonding. Almost
every railroad and every other
private industrial development
has been made through bond
ing. All municipal develop
ment. such as water systems,
street paving, ETC., is handled
bonding; if practical
for private corporations or for |
municipalities why not for the |
state? VIII not the benefits to |
be derived from good roads, |
consisting of reduced hauling 4
Osts and less wear on wagons
End motor cars, make up for
the interest paid upon the |
nOnds?
If the city of PendIeton had

still be a village without paveo !

without a levee and without a

lhandle fire control. The volun-
teer plan leaves fire fighting
to chance.
The same principle applies
to military service. When the
country relies on the volunteer
plan for raising an army in
time of need it takes grave
chances. The men secured
are neither trained nor equip
ped. The government does
not even know they will re-
spond. The thing is a gamble.
Compulsory military service
on the other hand will insure
trained men of a sufficient
number in the event the coun-
try needs them. They will be
equipped and organized.
They will serve because they
are called not because of per-
sonal wishes.
Compulsory military training
ing is the fair,way and the bus
inesslike way to defend the
country. The plan will not in
sure US against war any more
than a good fire department
insures against the outbreak
of a fire, but it will insure eff
ficient handling of the danger
if it does arise.

Pershing Likely to Head

John J. Pershing already has taken up
the duties Of General Funston, it was
announced at the War Department to-

Southern Department.
Funston and Pershing have worked
together throughout the Villa cam
paign. the latter at the field base and
General Funston at San Antonio gem
eral headquarters. General Pershing
therefore is entirely familiar with all
the details Of the work Of the Southern
Department.
