PROFESSOR WASHBURN SHOWS
STATES GOOD FINANCIAL

Milton. ore April II. 1917.
Editor East Oregonian:
In connection with the proposed
six million dollar road bond issue the
following facts may be of some in
terest and value TO your readers.
or the 4S states of the union. ore
gon stood 45th in 1915 in per capita
gross debt according TO financial sta
tistics of states for 1915 published by
the United States bureau of census.
In per capita assessed valuation
Oregon stood 18th. only Massachu-
sets. Rhode Island, Connecticut.
New York, Ohio, wisconsin. South
Dakota, Kansas. Colorado, Arizona,
and Nevada had a greater per capita
wealth than Oregon.
Ranked according 10 amount or
rate of general property taxes per
$1,000 of assessed valuation. oregon
stood goth.
In per capita cost payments for
highways oregon stood 18th. The
state of Washington stood first.
The above figures snow that ore
gon has relatively less deDt than al
most any other stare in the union.
Oregon could bond herself for 80
instead Of million dollars and her
per capita gross debt would be only
. cents more than the present per
capita debt Of Massachusetts,. ore
gon is better able 10 pay taxes than
three fourths OF the states since her
per capita assessed valuation is high
er. Nineteen states have higher
state tax than does oregon. Since
Oregon is comparatively new AMI
not a thickly settled state, our per
capita expenditure for roads might
well be much higher than that OF
most states Washington. in the ta-
bles referred TO above. led with a per
capita expenditure of $l.Io. oregon
was 18th with per capita expendi-
ture OF .2l.
1t would seem that oregon could
afford 4 system of permanent high
ways II she thinks such roads are
worth having.
