The Bond Election

With the election but little more than two
weeks distant ii is imperative that every voter
who desires 10 vote conscientiousy and for the
best interests of the county and the community
should begin to give earnest consideration 10 all
the questions to be determined at the polls.
In addition to voting upon national. state
and county officers and number of amendments
TO the state constitution the voters OF Iron county
will decide whether or not the county shall issue
bonds to the extent Of $4,000 for the construc-
tion of highways within its limits.
So far as this paper is concerned. it has not
direct interest one way or the other except in so
far as it affects the comfort, convenience and
welfare of the peopIeof the county as a whole
There are many who are openly advocating the
bond issue and many more who are openly oppos-
inc IT, and we hope all are conscientious in their
views respecting the situation. We do believe,
nevertheless that the proposition in all aspects
should be brought face to face with the voter in
order that he may ntegenty decide before cast
ing vote, for an improper decision and mistak-
en- vote might work irrepeiable injury to the
county.
There are number who are opposing the
issue on the ground that the road funds of the
county are being squandered that the county is
not getting any where near equivalent in value
for the money expended in road construction
and the blame is laid at the door of the county
commissioners Now, we don't take these as
sertions as serious as do some. rather believing
that the blame. IL there is any. should be credited

Az the state.
But for the sake of full and fair consider.
alton of the situation. suppose we admit that the
charges as bove stated are true. they can only
be applied to present and past actions and not
prospectively, for the board of county commission
ers that will have charge of the bond ISSUE if
ratified will include but one member of the pres
ent board. the additional members to be chosen at
the coming election. II is plain therefore, that
il the board to be elected and which would have
charge of any fund derived from bond issue.
should not be sufficiently qualified and capable
to properly handle so extensive an undertaking,
there is but two possible views to be taken re-
spectng the matter: either there are no men in
the county capable of directing the expenditure
Of public funds who would accept the Office of
commissioner or the political parties and party
leaders. in desire to serve their own interests,
do not take into consideration the standing,
ability, and fines of nominees for the position
for which they are nominated, but act as their
prejudices dictate.
We do not care to add our Endorsement to any
such a theory On the contrary, we believe
there are men ON the several tickets who are
capable of properly handling any sum of public
money and who would be absolutely conscientious
in doing so. At any rate the man who intends
such argument to apply TO the future must admit
that he is blaming himself for his own neg
ligance, for if the people, generally, would take
more interest in the nomination of men for
public offices there would be less cause for com
plant. And the man who takes no interest should
not be heard TO complain about the men who are
elected.
Respecting the reasons urged why the bond
issue should be authorized the principal one is that
Iron county NEEDS the roads that would be CON
structed with the funds that would be available
from the sale of bonds. Iron county needs high
ways more, perhaps, than any other county in the
state, with perhaps one exception. This is 50
because the greater part of the population of the
county is distant several miles from the railroad,
the county is growing rapidly in population. and
because of its location the citizens of two or three
adjoining counties must largely use its highways
as an outlet to the railroad and other larger com.
mercal centers and populated settlements within
the county.
