Final Word On
Road Bond Bill

Much has been said In opposition
to the good roads bond bill that has
no bearing whatever or the meas
ure and which could be designed only
to poison and prejudice the voters
against 1t. That being the case, the
following pertinent facts are submit
ted for the information and though
full consideration of the impartial vot-
er on the eve of the special election
June 4:
This road bond bill proposes the
issuance of $6,000,000 twenty-five
year, four per cent bonds for the
construction of a system of state
wide, hard-surfaced higL ways. The
roads to be improved are designated
in the bill and include the main trav-
eled roads throughout the state.
Adequate revenue has been pro-
vided by statute for paying both in
terest and principal and retire the
bonds at maturity without increasing
taxes. The money derived from this
increased automobile licenses and the
existing quarter-mill state road tax
will pay the interest and retire the
bonds and leave a substantial bal
ance for the construction of other
roads not enumerated In the bond
bill.
The increased automobile license
and the state road tax are provided
by statutes now in effect and will
have to be paid regardless of whether
or not the road bonds are voted at
the special election June 4.
The automobile owner is willing
to pay the increased license. All he
asks Is that the license money, which
has to be paid anyway, be expended
in constructing the roads proposed
in the bond bill. The automobile
owner will provide all of the money
necessary to meet the interest charges
and retire the bonds. He fails to see
why there should be any opposition
to the expenditure of the money so
provided in the construction of good
roads, in view of the fact that 1t is
his money that will pay for the inn
provements.
All Of the money raised from the
bonds will be expended under the d.
rection of the state highway commits
sion, appointed by Governor Witty
combe. The commission has announc-
ed that in expending the funds all
sections of the state will he consider
ed impartially. A dollars worth of
road construction for every dollar ex-
pended is guaranteed by the commits
sioners who have declared that they
will purchase one or more paving
plants and lay paving unless satisfac-
tory bids are submitted by paving
contractors. Ordinary common. sense
business principle will also govern
the commissioners in their work of
road building. Scarcity of labor and
the reasonableness of wartime prices
for materials will determine the time
for inaugurating work and the scope
of actual road construction. Road
building will not be undertaken by
the commission unless conditions are
favorable. I,
Approval of the road bond bill,
June 4, will be an Endorsement of a
plan that insures for the state the
construction of system of hard-sur-
faced roads with funds already pro-
vided by law and without increasing
other taxes.

Portland Daily Stock Report, May Is.

Yesterdays market was
rather a slow and sticky affair with
about 1000 head in the pens. De-
mand from killers was limited, due
to the heavy purchases made last
week. There was very good demand
from out Of town butchers, which put
some strength in the market and took
quite a string at steady prices, al
though the bulk Of the sales were on
a lower basis relatively, ranging from
$40 to $10.50. Medium grades of
beef were the best sellers at steady
prices, while prime steers sold mostly
Csc lower. Common beef-that Is,
dairy bred stuff-suffered a loss Of
soc. Several loads of prime heavy
steers brought $1O.S5, which was the
top, with good light steers from
s10.25 to $10.50. Medium grades
sold around 1915 to $40, with COM
mon steers down to $S. There were
only a few COWS here, the best get
ting 1926 to $3.50, with common
stuff selling down to IS. Best light
veal calves sold steady at $110; a
bunch of baby beef heifers brought
SO. The general trend Of the cattle
market was slow, the pep 1t has
shown the last few months being alb
sent.
Hogs-Hog prices ranged mostly
10c to 15c higher. The top was SIC
for three loads, with another load at
$11.S5. The bulk of sales were made
at s15.65 to $15.75, with few light
loads down to $3.50. Pigs suffered
a severe setback of about 75c due to
the heavy receipts of light hogs dur
ing the last few weeks, the bulk going
at $13.
Sheep-The sheep market is un-
changed. Only couple of loads OF
mixed valley sheep were here.
