able measure suggested, is the only
ne that could ever be adopted. If
we should fail to support it we will
lose the biggest chance we ever had
to get road.
Kuads or No Roadn.
I would like to remind the readers
of your paper that the proposed bond i not. the state will continue to collect
tilla county. The truth Is, that our
present method of patchwork to the
tune of one hundred twenty thousand
dollars per year, is not a modern,
scientific or economical way to han
dle the road situation. Nearly every
state in the I'nlon haa recognised this
fact. The economical way to build
roads is to build permanent roads.
We MiH lay Anyway.
Whether we pass the bond bill or
'I'd J
bill does ifot present an alternative by
which each voter can select what he
think is the best means for the build
ing of roads. Bear in mind that at
this time we huve no choice whether
we shall build road by issuance of
the bond or by the fens equitable
method of direct tax. The bond meas
ure Is presented by itself. We can
like it or leave It. The practical
question is thin: Do we want lo im
prove our more important roads? In
less than ninety days the heavy trav
el will cut our dirt roads to pieces At
intervals during the winter the roads
are almost impassable on account of
mud. Some seasons of the. year our
roads are pretty good. A greater
part of the time they are not
good. The Intervals of good road and
bad roads have been recurring for
half a century. T for one. reached
the conclusion that we might to have
good roads throushout the whole year
and ought to get some good roads
now. Tn other words, we ought to see
to It thst the bond bill Is approved by
the people.
Knrface for Macadam Road.
If the bond bill passes, the High
way t onimlKSion are on recora tnat
they will hard surface the macadam
road from Pendleton to the Washing
ton Mate line. The macadam road
has already cost us a fortune. Ever
body know it need repair. What
are r gfttiur to do If the bond hill
dnf not carry and tlm tate dira not
hard -iirfac th- macadam mad?
We have a chance for one of two
things. We van repair the niacadem
road ourselves or we can let It go to
complete ruin If re repair It. how
will we repair It? Where will we tet
the money? The truth In. we have
no mmwy and the six per cent limi
tation ties the bancs of the county
court.
MllikHi for Vatch Work.
The thing that convinces me is.
that the state is now spending be
tween three and four million dollars
per year upon patch work. Umatilla
county spi-ntlis more- than one hundred
thousand dollara per year. According
to the figures submitted by the coun
ty court, nearly un-tialf of this huge
um i spnt every year for patch
work and repair on a limited number
of miles of rid connecting the cen
ters of population- Theno are th
roads that will be Improved by the
state If we pass the bond measure. Is
it not better to make permanent state
roads out of thee main highways so
hat Umatilla county can divert it's
road funds to the read extending
through the country sections of this
county?
The opponent of the bond measure
all fmy they are in fvor of good
road and they proe their loyalty to
he cause of good road by oio?ini
he only plin that ha been offered
which good ronas can be bui!t
The method of bulling roads by di
rect tan under the present bis will
never work. Iecue it cannot work
The Idea ran be illustrated this way
If a btisities has one hundred twenty-seven
tilers income per er an 1
n anmiNl eie?ij, of one hundred
twentv-en doll, it. It will not be
poSMshi for It to make pernanen
improvement. If thts same business

money with whieh to make it er
tiisnent Improvement an 1 thus e
one-h lf of Its annu.i evpt-nse tt can
cre;ite a fund for continuing the per
manent improvements. This i.ltjtr-i-t..n
represents the condition of Vma-
the quarter mill tax and the double
automobile license will have to ba
paid in any event. In the bond bill
there is a designation of roads th
state of Oregon Is bound to recog
nize. It is provided that a liberal
proportion of the highway funds
should be spent in eastern Oregon. We
know without doubt that a consider
able mileage in I .'mat ilia county in
addition to the macadam road, will
be hard surfaced by the state. If
the bond bill fails, don't let us fool
ourselves into the belief that we will
receive any considerable state aid in
Umatilla county. We might get some
aid. because Umatilla county is rep
resented in the state highway com
misaion, but we are in the minority.
Kastem Oregon Is a minority. This
country is -looked upon by lots of
people in western Oregon aa a kind
of a desert. They will not be dis
posed to see the state build highway
in eastern Oregon, because they want
the highway built in western Ore
gon. The need in western Oregon for
roads Is even more apparent than It
I In eastern Oregon. They are in
deep mud six montns of the year.
Their demands for state aid amount
almost to a clamor. Our voters her
do not realise this part of the situa
tion. If they did. no one would con
sider for a moment casting a vote
against the bond bill. The vote in
this county ought to he unanimous in
its favor.
t'ncle Ram Wants It.
I desire to call attention to one
more thing. Whenever the oppon
ents of the bond bill have been
smoked out of all other positions,
they say the bond bill may be al
right, but this Is no time to sell
bonds and no time to build roads.
I have but little faith in my own
provincial judgment on a matter of ;
this kind, but I believe It 1 about a
good as the provincial judftment of
nv other provincial. The answer
this kind of talk is. that the Unit
ed Slate govern men d e si res u to
continue our normal Industrial acti
vities so far as possible. If we
ihonltl stop el' development on ac
count of the war. onr nation would
intin be too weak tn ca rrv on a war
to a successful concn-iin.
