STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR GOOD ROAD BONDS

One Of the most forceful appeals
for good roads was that offered for
the Grange measures, which provided
for a bond issue and was printed In
the 1912 official state pamphlet From
that argument the following is quoted:
business Men and Farmer, Produc,
er and Consumer: Vote for the
Grange Measures, for you one and all
are interested in the development OF
the state, that can never be accom-
plished without the construction OF
good, permanent roads, built econom
ically and scientifically. Spence

EVERY PRODUCER
WILL BE AIDED.

Good roads concern and should in
terest every citizen. They reduce the
cost per ton to the producer in mar
keting his products This is an i'm
portant factor in determining the ulti-
mate cost to the consumer. Good
roads mean substantial saving IN
the operating cost Of $4,000 motor ve-
hicles in this state and will effect a
further saving of at least 10 per cent
in the depreciation Of all vehicles.
These two items amount into almost
incredible sums annually. All money
raised for good roads will be expended
in this state, contributing to the wei.
fare of all. Good roads increase the
value of all land contiguous to the
highways that are improved. This
stimulates road construction In other
communities. Could more material
reasons be urged for supporting the
good roads bond bill at the special
election June 4th?

All are agreed that Oregon needs
good roads. The only material diff
ference of opinion is as to the method
of financing the movement--direct tax.
alton or bonds based on a revenue
already provided by law The fact
that taxes are already burdensome is
the very best argument for issuing
bonds. The combined revenue from
an increased auto license and the
existing state road tax will pay the
interest and retire at maturity the
bonds proposed in the good roads bill.
The people will vote on this bond bill
ct the special election June 4th.

10000 Leagues Under the Sea-"
Present day thrilling submarine events
were foretold so years ago by Jules
Verne, the greatest imaginative writer
who ever lived. Today they are pic
tured down to the minute in the UNI
versal's startling photoplay based on
"20, 600 Leagues Under The Sea-"
When you see, this epoch-making
drama you will have seen the most
revolutionary achievement in cinema
history. You will see Jules Verne's
monster" that terrorized the seven
seas. You will see the mighty COM
mander, Captain Memo, who followed
the path of vessels 10000 leagues on
his voyage of vengeance.
You will see the torpedo fired and
photographed under the ocean while
speeding on its deadly mission, and
then see full rugged ship blown to
atoms. Through the magic window in
the submarine Nautilis you will see the
victims sinking to the silent depths.
Through this window you are shown
all the amazing wonders of the deep.
You see the Nautilis in tropic ocean
dive to mysterious depths and human
beings emerge exactly as Jules Verne
wrote. Hunters descend to1 the floor
of the ocean among man-eating sharks.
They require neither life lines nor air
pipes to connect them with the sur
face. With supply of oxygen in con-
densed air tanks they visit the wonder
full marine gardens, and coral cavern
where human feet never ventured be-
fore.
Century old wrecks are found and
searched for lost treasures. There is
a terrifying combat fathoms deep, be-
tween Captain Memo and giant octo-
pus crushing pearl diver in its mon
ster tentacles; positively the most
thrilling spectacle ever photographed.
Scenes from under the ocean on the
earth and in the sky combine to make
this first and only submarine drama
truly the most amazing wonder picture
of all time.
The Universal spent nearly two years
producing this unusual picture. A
company of actors was taken to the
bottom of the ocean and with the as
sistance of George d. Stillson, whose
deep sea divers raised the u. S. Sub
marine F.4, the actors were taught the
use of the latest diving invention which
enables them to step out on the ocean
bed and take part in drama as if they
were on the stage.

For the hrst time perhaps in mar
keting history a compilation covering
a period of years has been made show
ing actual figures on reflections and al
lowances. The Northwestern Fruit
Exchange, wishing to definitely arrive
at facts on this subject which has been
more or less the bane of the fruit
growers life, listed every allowance
for six seasons of operations, and find
ing these averages a little over two
per cent of the total sales, then set to
work and listed the loss and damage
claims as an offset. The latter showed
a sum of cash actually paid to shippers
of $40, 734.85, or the equivalent of a
little over one per cent of total sales.
The exact averages are as follows
Reflections and allowances to buyers,
six years, 0204 per cent of total sales !;
loss and damage claims to shippers,
0103 per cent of total sales; balance or
net reflections and allowances over loss
and damage claims. 0101 per cent of
total sales.
The above shows that about one half
of the allowances made buyers were
afterwards collected from carriers or
other sources as loss and damage
claims.

APPLE NOTES

Evidence of a price and business
combine among mills and jobbers hand.
ling paper fruit wrappers has been ac-
cumulated by the United States dis
trict attorney at Spokane, according to
C. j. Webb, assistant manager of the
Spokane Fruit Growers company. The
attorney is ready to take action as
soon as another federal grand jury is
called.
Complaint of an advance of 100 per
cent on fruit Wrappers was made some
time ago by the associations in the
Yakima valley and at Wenatchee.
Mr.. Webb says that prices were ad-
vanced from six cents a pound last
year to IL cents a pound there this
year. There has been some reduction,
however. Different grades are used
by the various districts. In the Yaki-
ma valley and around Wenatchee the
price was advanced from around four
cents pound last year to eight cents
this season.
Fruitmen say there is no justifca-
tion for an advance above 80 to 35 per
cent. They claim this will absorb all
the increased cost of production. The
mills making the wrappers are prac-
tically all in Oregon and California.
