k1ckers are the farmers, who will be
most benefited. He advocated in this
State tax of five mills for period OF
five years. The constitution of this
State now forbids but he wanted SEN
tlment worked up in every township in
the State so that at the next session OF
the legislature this matter would be
remedied.
Can we get aid from the fedora
government? We can get anything
from the federal government if the
people organize and demand it. We
may be defeat d several years, and
don't say l have influence enough to
get it. But have given you the argu-
ment | am going to use, and believe
in less than five years, we will get it.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Senator Latimer held the primary
above mentioned.
CONGRESSMAN WYATT AIKEN
was applauded when introduced. He
SAID he came more to meet the people
OF the county and to learn something
than to try to teach. He relieved in
government Improvement of roads
whether or not it be constitutional or
democratic. He was hear tily in sympa-
thy with Senator Latimer.
The most good we can do now is to
agltate this subject, he said. Every
man is stakeholder in the public roads
as much as railroad stockholders are
stockholders in railroads. The railroad
stockholders would not for moment
think of letting their properties run
down. The people from the rural dis
| tricts now pay about one-half of the
taxes and get about one-tenth of the
appropriations.
The Brownlow Bill now seeks to ap-
propriate $20,00O,OOO. South Cardinals
share would be about $500, 900. We are
spending $4,000, 900 now to build roads
IN the Philippines and in Puerto Rico
and If this is constitutional, it is not un-
constitutional to make appropriations
for good roads in our own country.
The thanks Of the Association were
extended Senator Latmer and Congress-
man Aiken for their excellent adj
dresses.
