islation in this state, has the follow.
ing to say in approval of the pending
$6,000,000 road bond bill:
Il am not prepared to say whether
this bill is as good as the one pro.
posed by the State Grange committee
or not, but the question now up to the
Oregon voter is upon the bond issue,
and speaking from the standpoint Of
farmer and Granger since 1894 |
feel that the states interest will be
best served by an affirmative vote on
the measure next June, and / sincere
ly hope when the whole question has
been carefully studied that the Grang.
ers Of the State, including the State
Master, will be found on the side of
progress, assisting to pull Oregon out
of the mud.

"A good road is a thing that will
last forever, when properly kept in
repair" remarks an exchange. THE
next generation has no right to be
enjoying an Improvement that their
fathers sweat to pay cash for. The
children of today can use the improv.
ed roads in going to school so why
shouldn't they help pay for them. I'm.
der bonding system the cost is dis.
tributed over long period of years
and is more just than a pay-as-you-go
system which means heavy tax up.
on the farmers of today II roads are
really made good, or it means a con.
tinual tinkering with the roads and
eventually getting no real improve,
ment."
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1917-04-26

In an editorial indorsing the good
roads bond bill, the Portland Journal
said in part:
Shall we 60 on wasting tax money in
the filling of mud holes or shall we
concentrate our expenditures on the
most important roads and when they
are made efficient pass ON to the next
in Importance and so on?
Shall we continue to spend forty or
fifty million dollars during the next
ten years without system, as at pres.
ent, or shall we spend that amount in
q business-like way on some definite
plan?
We can not get away from the
fact that we must spend for good
roads wether we have them or not.
