The Times with this issue will have
it's last opportunity to urge the tax
payers of this county to vote for the
bridge and roads bond issue at the
election next Wednesday. The reason
why the bonds should carry are num-
erous and should be bourn in mind by
the voters next Wednesday.
First-The bond issue will spread
an expense of 100000 over twenty
years of time with about $4,000 COM
ing due each year and for which the
levy will be very small.
Second-Unless the bonds are voted
at least $4,000 of the amount will
have to be collected by direct levy
which will be heavy drain upon the
debt-burdened farmer at present. In
ten years or less most farmers will be
able to better care for direct levy. 1t
is merely paying for needed improve
ments upon the installment plan at
very low interest rates.
Third-It should be remembered
that Twin Falls county, through us
automobile owners, is paying approx
imately $4,000 into the state for auto
licenses and that unless this bond is
sue carries and the road district form
ed not one cent comes back to be ex-
pended upon the roads here. On the
other hand, if the bonds are issued,
seventy per cent of the above sum will
be paid over to the county to pay in
terest on the bonds which you may
vote next Wednesday. That seventy
per cent amounts of $4,000 or enough
to pay interest on over fifty thousand

ing of the scars of war, we are re.
minded but the present gathering al
Gettysburg was needed to seal up fin,
ally the book of the past. Other COM
mentators live over again the strategy
of the battle in maps and books, study
the causes that brought it about just
in the particular manner of it's begin
ming and ending, while at the same
time they emphasize the vast conse-
quences of it's result and the RESPONSE
bilities bequeathed to us of today. In
the preparations for the reunion
somewhere the rumor started that no
battle-flags would be permitted to be
displayed, but the Union veterans
were the first to insist that the Con-
federate flags should again feel the
air they knew fifty years ago; and
the Charleston News and Courier re-
marks.
This is as it should be. y - 1t
was hard to see how the display of
the shot-torn colors could lead to dis
cord of any sort, and it was difficult
to understand why those in charge of
the Gettysburg celebration should
have deemed it proper that only the
Stars and Stripes should float above
the field on which the Stars and Bars
also won undying glory. Without the
presence of the South's banner, the
celebration of the anniversary could
not have been complete; and no mat
ter how void of offense the motive
back of such request might have
been, many Southern veterans could
not have helped resenting it if they
were asked to leave their colors at
home"
The risk incurred by the veterans,
considering their age, in making the
journey to Gettysburg in the most
heated term of the year, which was
feared from the start, has been wit
messed to in the prostration of many
and even in the death of several. How
soldier may be read in the statement
of man 70 years old, reported in the
New York Evening Post. His wife ex-
pressed her concern for him and he
told her:
This is most likely the last chance
I'll have to do anything for the Union,
and I'd like to do it fifty years from
the time the Union was served. It's
going to mean something to all the
younger generation to have us old fell
lows get together and show there ism t
any hard feeling. 1t will take away
the last excuse for the young people
to cherish any sectional hatred It's a
duty we owe the country, about the
last we can fill, most of us, and l
figure out l ought to do it,"
An idea Of the terrible mortality on
the same field when the actual battle
was on is conveyed wildly in the re-

dollars expended for roads in the bond
issue. With each year this sum will
increase as the number of autos in
crease.
Fourth-It should be bourn in mind
by the ranchers and residents of the
other cities and towns of the county
that under the bond issue Not one cent
OF the bonds you vote can be used
within the corporate limits of the city
OF Twin Falls. 1t is not a scheme of
this city to get roads built at county
taxpayers expense. On the other
hand, on direct levy in case the bonds
fail, this city would be entitled to
seventy-five per cent of the money
raised on the city valuation.
Fiifth-Bear in mind that good
roads under this movement have a di-
rect bearing on the value of your
farm property and that distance to
market over good roads bears a strong
difference to the distance over poor
roads in the sale price and value on
your farm holdings.
Sixth-Your taxes have been heavy
for the past six years and have drain
ed your resources. Why not let some
OF the burden fall on the future gem
GRAFTON and your future prosperity.
Why stand all of the burdens of pio-
neering with nothing of the good
things. The bond issue will hold many
years while you are enjoying the BEN
efits which accrue.
Seventh-Don't let Twin Falls coun-
ty money paid on automobiles go to
help other counties. Vote the bonds
and keep at least seventy per cent of
it at home for your own highways.
You are paying enough state taxes as
it is.
