GOOD ROAD POINTERS

County money now spent on trunk
lines will be used on laterals and other
less travelled roads II the good roads
bond issue is voted by the people at
the June election.

Clackamas County, the home Of G.
+ e. Spence, Grange Leader, who Is op.
posing the road bond bill, Is reported
to have spent $3,OOO,O0O on roads in
the last ten years and has three or
four miles Of improved roads to show
for it.
Paying as we grow is better than
paying as we 60" was one Of the point
ed remarks OF Highway Commission
er Adams when he recently addressed
a meeting Of Portland Realty men.

ment by voting for the road bond
bill at the June election.
Y
Place the burden of building the
roads on those who wear them out
the automobiles. The state license on
automobiles has been doubled and the
owners of these machines are willing
to pay the increased fee. All they ask
Is that the money SO raised shall be
expended in construction of good
roads. Vote for the road bond bill
and assist to bring that about.

Auto license fees alone will pay all
the costs-principal and interest--of
the $6,Ooo, 900 road bond bill and leave.
substantial balance for other roads.
And all this without an additional cent
of taxation for the farmer.

Every automobile owner In the state
should vote for the $6,000,000 road
bond bill. His license tax was doubled
1 by the last legislature and he will
have to pay the increased fee anyway.
| If the road bonds are voted at the
| special election in June, the money
| derived therefrom is to be expended
| In the construction Of system OF
statewide hard-surfaced roads.

In answering his own question. The
bonds mean better roads for every
| section of the county and better roads
mean many things. The farm or
ranch can be sold for more money II
| one wishes TO sell. Marketing Is
facilitated and the cost is lessened.
The sooner we get permanent roads
| the sooner will taxes grow less. Good
roads cost less to maintain. IL we
dump our money each year into a
few mud holes and keep 1t up from
year to year we have benefited no
| one, not even the men who fill the
mud holes, for they have to pay part
OF the taxes, too.
ITO our way Of thinking says the
Hillsboro Independent. perhaps the
chief argument in favor Of the road
bonds is that the cities and towns as
well as an additional proportion Of the
total valuation will pay the largest
share, and the burden will be shifted
from the farmers rs per cent to the
remaining "a. Not only that, but the
complaint that the city automobilist
has worn out the roads he did not pay
for is met and in the future he Will
travel the road that cost him more
than was paid by the farm he passes
and In addition the fat total OF his
automobile licenses, proportion Of
which was returned to his own county,
will now rky the interest on the loan
he made to build the roads"

The sparrows rear two broods

those districts where ruthless massacre

where promptly the insect plague as

Of no avail against it. Sparrows had
