cause the corporations doing busi-
ness in our county will have to pay
a very large part of the cost of
building of all our roads. because
our farmers can pay the little in
crease in taxes for much less than
they can afford to work the loads

money expended to build roads
will all be brought from other

committees waglng a campaign,
the equal of which has never
been known in Eastern Kentucky.
Now that everv one NAV lnOw
just what is wanted, we will state
briefly the full facts. This elect,
ion Is for the purpose of taking
the census of the voters of the
county on the question whether
or not the. Fiscal court shall issue
and sell bonds no: to exceed
SIooooo.oo for the purpose of
b. ilding turnpikes. Where shall
these pixies be built is the next
question. The first would be
from the Laurel to the Lincoln
county and from the Macis n
county line to the Pulaski line
with such connecting lines as fund
would justify. When are these
bonds to be paid and how? These
bonds will be 4 per cent bonds,
pay able in thirty years, and will
be paid by taxation. The latter
question is the great bug, bear to
so many, taxation. How much
tax can be levied each year asks
another. The statute provides
that only. 20 cents can be levied
for this purpose and not a cent
more. not even poll can be
levied for bond issue. Therefore
the man who has a farm worth
$1,000 can only be taxed $500 a
year, for the pike bonds, and the
man who has no property at all,
will never pay cert OF tax.
Now what is the solution. These
bonds are sold to parties out of our
own county, the money brough.
here and paid out to our own
people for work on these pixies,
the county will have the pixies, a
blessing which no one can
estimate. Who is for the bond
issue? A careful survey shows
ihat 95 per &c nj Of the largest tax
payers in the county are strong
for the bond issue. Why? Be
cause the benefits Of good roads
or pixies will be worth more to
them than the little bit of tax they
,would have 10 pay. Those who
nave less property for taxation are
for it because the amount of tax
they would have to pay, would be
nothing compared to the benefits
which they woIld derive from
having pixies and those who own
no property should be for the
bond issue man to man. 1t
would not cost them penny, aui
they would be the ones principal,
who W, uld get the money to.
work the new roads. Think
gentlemen, look what other
con mites are doing. Let us get in
the wagon of progress and do that
which we can and which will mean
so much to US and the rising
generation.

THE SLOGAN

have pixies is the slogan that is
heard from the lips Of ninety nine
out of every hundred men you
meet in Rockcastle. Last week,
from the visitors at court, which
included representative citizens
from every section of the county,
about the only thing that could
be heard discussed was better
roads and the plan for securing
them. The demand was so great
that number of good roads adj
vocates including repre- ,entatives
from nearly every section, met
and decided to circulate a petition
asking the County Judge 10 cal
an election for the purpose I'll
voting on bond issue of
100000. 90 for, the purpose Of
building pixies throughout the
county. Instead of having to
hunt fer signers, farmers, bust
ness and professional men were
hunting for the petition TO sign
and in less than twenty four hours
after the petition had been placed
in CirL ulation more than double
the required number of signers
had been secured, and to the
great establishment as we'll as de-
light. those who circulated the
petitions only found out of over
five hundred men approached only
seven who refused to sign the
petition and only three who said
they would vote against the bond
issuel The petition was filed
Saturday and Monday being
regular county court, Judge L. w,
Bethurum made ali order calling
the election for Saturday Oct. 20
1912 as provided by the 1912 acts
of the Kentucky Legislature. We
need better highways and the
people throughout the county are
determined that we shall have
them, for never in life have we
seen such enthusiasm on any
great question as there is for
better roads in Rockcastle. A
second meeting of these good
road advocates was held Tuesday
evening in the Office of Judge L.
w Bethurum. There were
present farmers. business men
and professional men for the
purpose of perfecting an organiza.
ton for the carrying of this all
important campaign into every
