M Ill the state of Oregon
~ be unable to secure
good roads work on a
big scale because of conflict
ing opinions as to what should
lie done? The question arises
from the seeming chaotic con-
dhions at Salem.
For years past opponents of
good roads efforts have regu-
Early raised the cry that the
work contemplated was chief
~ for motorists and that the
cost should be borne by car
owners, not by the farmers and
other taxpayers.
This year a bonding scheme
has been submitted under
which the cost would fall al
most entirely upon auto own
ers, thus meeting the old OBJ
Iection with a vengeance. Yet
here comes Governor Witty
cOmbe with strong disapproval
of the plan. claiming it would
be unjust to farmers who own
ears and open to the further
objection that it provides for
an immense amount of work
concerning which we as yet
have no systematic plan.
The governors fear as to
the proper expenditure of the
money is worthy of attention.
IL would be a crime to provide
for a large bond issue and have
II wasted through incompetent
methods or graft. In any step
taken there should be safe
guards to insure due results
for the money expended and
there are WAYS of providing
such safeguards.
But the objection about the
injustice of the tax falls flat.
There is no car owner. large
OF small. who cannot afford to
pay an increased auto license
fee in order to secure good
roads. In most cases the saw
ing of one tire a year would
equal the license cost and bet
ter roads mean fewer new tires.
Therefore the governors plea
upon this line becomes ridicu-
iOus.
This is not saving that the
East Oregonian believes the
Day-Rowerman scheme should
be adopted by the legislature.
There NAV be manv things
wrong with that nlan. Blu
certainly some effective road
N~eVislador should be passed.
The ShacklefOrd law affords
