BIG SANDY.

| Editor THE CHRONICLES:
10 the farmers of Benton County:
Fellow Fnrmers-I take this
method of snying just a few things
to yon relative to the issuance of
road bonds for our county
The road question is the biggest
problem that confronts MS at the
present time, one of such mani
tudr that it affects every person in
Benton County, whether they be
lawyer, doctor, teacher, preacher,
farmer, banker or what not. Even
the school boys and girls are beg
ging us to change conditions in
the rural districts 80 they may re-
main at home and help to build up
the old farm.
There are no arguments against
good roads, and no one will con-
tend they are not necessity. The
onl y point on which we differ is
the method of securing same.
Personally, | think the issuance
of road bonds is the quickest, the
most economical, the surest and
cheapest way to raise the necessary
funds. Ii is not an experiment,
for in almost every instance
whether State, county, municipal
ity or corporation wanted to raise
funds for mprovements-,hey is
sue bonds for same.
The bill provides that for the
issuance of 100000 road bonds
for Benton County, the tax rate
shall not exceed so cents on the
500 worth of taxable property.
It does not effect the $1,000 ex-
emptions nor the poll tax.
Brethren of the Farmers Union
of Benton, you have stood SO 10y
ally hy me in everything | have
sked at your hands. Let me plead
with You TO use your best judg-
ment on the 18th of this month
when you cast you ballot for or
against the bond issue.
l am not asking you to vote a
burden ON your own shoulders that
[ am not willing to help you carry.
Allow me to suggest that you have
call meeting of your local at once
aud discuss this question from
business standpoint, that you may
arrive at an intelligent conclusion
why yon are for or against bonds.
You and | will have to work out
our own rural problems with fear
and trembling, so we had just as
we'll meet the issue sqnarely.
| am glad to say to you that
barge per cent Of the business men
of Big Sandy are for the bond is
sue, and | shall take pleasure in
furnishing you the names OF those
wnn ar willing to bel p us carry
the load. | shall refrain just now
to express myself on road building
by direct taxation, more than this,
we should coun, the cost.
AS member of the County
Court | must say, in case the bond
issue fails, | shall use my very bcst
efforts and influence for the next
best melhodof securing good roads.
I will say, further, in case the
bonds are hoated, he people may
rest assured of one thing-Camden
will not get, neither are they ex-
ppc,ing for all the money to be
spent around Camden. We will
get square deal.
Yours for the bond issue,

erage good road -agilalor for the
next decade.
All this can be obviated by the
bond plan. BY this plan We have
good roads to begin with, and can
use them to make them pay for
themselves. How many landown IL
ers there are today in Benton
County who would today he strug-
Cling renters We're it not for The

fused years ago to go in debt for
good roads.
Good farms, comfortable houses,
good live stock and labor-savlng
machinery are very essential 10
rural happiness and agricultural
prosperity. Very often We invest
s aud 10 per cent in these useful
and necessary equipments, and III
most instances later find that we

Then if it be good business for
us as private individuals to use
money at these high rates for hese

b., even more hu.in. ss. ike for us
collectively to avail ourselves of
thu opportunity to use none, at
half these rates for cause which
means so much for us i'm every
sense and from every standpoint,
which will make for our general
b-tierment and the good of those
who follow us.
On Saturday, March Is, 1918,
WE are to decide rs to whether or
not we will accept the loan of II
sufficient amount of money to build
200 miles of first class roads. The
terms are that we are to pay AZ
pr cent and pny the princl pal at
our convenience. Could we ask
for falrer or more reasonable terms
than these?
Gets not react; let's accept, and
make ourselves and those OF gen
