The theory that the bonds could be
met by the automobile registration fees
will not work In fact. Every dollar of
that moneytis needed for maintenance
purposes and always will be. Even of
sthe state could be provided with 700
miles of cement road, there would still
remain some 5000 miles of sO-called
roads which must be kept open and us
selected roads, and 1900 miles of other
roads which must be kept open and us
able, If the motor registration fees
were used for paying interest on state
bonds, direct tax for maintenance
would be absolutely certain.
There is no ouiia board process by
which Vermont can get system of
hard-surfac highways. The essential
necromancy is to pay the cost and the
less interest and extra bookkeeping the
better it will be for the citizens and tax
payers.
Suggests Gasoline Tax.
If the motor car owners of Vermont
are willing to pay a two cent tax on
gasoline for a term of years, as L sug-
gested in the Bennington Banner a few
days ago, and the highway department
called permanent - road work to Ce-
ment construction, the state of Yer
mont can build 700 miles of cement
roads in y to 10 years without bonding,
without tax or other than the gasoline
tax and at Il gross cost to the people
of Vermont Of 10 to Is million dollars
less than to achieve the same result by
bonding the state.
This proposed gasoline tax means an
extra expense of from 50 to SIS each year
for the average Vermont motor car
owner and much more than that for
some, but the auto owners of Vermont
include most of the public spirited citi-
Zens of the state and | should expect to
see them shoulder a load more readily
than any other class in the state, es
pecially if they know that every dollar
is going into building the best class of
roads. Another advantage is that it
can be stopped if we get too sick of it,
while a bond issue, once voted. would
hang like Il milestone about our neck for
4 generation or two.
When we look around we see some
men succeed in life by going into debt
and working out while others go into
debt and from there to bankruptcy. Of
course it depends somewhat on the diff
ference in men but. to no small degree,
the debt was wisely assumed.
In times of optimism and enthusiasm
imitation comes easy and many state
cities and other municipalities have gone,
more deeply into debt than good judg
ment warranted. 1t would have been
wiser to have spent more of their money
in construction and less in interest and
loan floating.
Should Pay as We Go.
] am earnestly in favor of building
eco to 1000 miles of cement roads inI
' ermont and am firmly convinced that
the only way in which it can be done
is by paving the bill as we go along.
do not think it can possibly be accom-
ulished by bonding. The total required
is too staggering and it is contrary, inI
my opinion, to the wiser business judg-
mcut. The only way to build roads is
to 20 ahead and build them and pay the
Till. I have no faith in paternalistic
theory and 10 confidence whatever I'M
hoping that some clever system can he
devised to do for us what seven thousand
years OF world history has shown that
We can do only for ourselves

Frank f. Howe in the following
article on road building in Vermont
says that any acceptable program
of hard surface roads should con
template in trunk and cross-state
lines total of 700 miles. Such
would cost $2O,O000O0. To raise
money by bonds would be to cast a
tremendous burden on the taxpayers
and would be hardly practicable
from any point of view. Mr.. Howe
comments on the proposed gasoline
tax and comes to the conclusion that
it is possible to build roads and pay
as we go.
