THIS FOR YOU,
MR.. OREGON FARMER

Farmers not residing on any
of the roads to be improved un-
der the road bonding bill should
not for that reason oppose the
road bond measure. With the
approval by the voters of the
bond issue, every such farmer
will derive a two-fold benefit. In
the first place, he will be brought
that much closer to a hard-sur-
faced road. Secondly, the mon
ey now expended on the main
roads will be available for the
Improvement of the connecting
roads. Surely, the farmer, re-
gardless of his residence with
respect to the main trunk roads,
cannot help but recognize that
he will be benefited by the ex-
penditure of funds raised by the
proposed bond issue.
