TO MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS

Having filed my statement of
campaign expenses one day late, and
being at last barred from having my
name appear as candidate for

friends for their hearty encourage
ment and support given me while in

be quite as seriously disappointed as

that | did not give up my fight to
appear on the ticket until after max
ing two appeals to the county com
missioners in session and securing
two alternative writs of mandamus
against the commissioners.
Again thanking my friends, | am,
very truly, A. J. MORGAN.

GOOD HARD ROADS CHEAPER

Everybody naturally wants the
best there is in life. improvements
that develop the best conditions con-
ducive to pretty homes and sweet
home life, the sweetest Of all life to
everybody cannot be developed by
individual effort.
Civic betterment, modern conven-
fences that stand for economy as we'll
as health and pleasure, added to
sweet home building, creates home
social environment as well as good
conservative business prosperity that
justilies united effort and requires
study and effort as well as expendi-
ture of money to do the right thing
and do it in the right way. Every
body seeks such communities. 1t Is
there we find contentment and hap
niness; it is there the best children
are reared; it is there the child be-
comes cultured and contented to re-
main.
Every Board of Trade organization
in Polk county should meet now and
appoint committee of the best men
in their community, instructing this
committee to Immediately join with
the Barlow Board of Trade at our
county seat, whore they have taken
the initiative in yoicing the neces-
sity and advocating the practicable
ity of a million dollar bond issue in
Polk county to build good roads Of
material substantial for permanency.
1t is estimated that at present we
are eXpending in the county $780,
600 per annum. (The average life
of cement and brick roads Is Is to
20 years. At that rate, we spend
$1,000,O00 each ten years, but have
no roads. At the present rate of eX-
penditure which we are paying in
tax and donations annually, we ere
ate a fund of $2,O0O,O0O each twen-
ty years Why dribble this money
out on sand and clay roads that do
not give even fair service. The ex-
ira cost of teams and vehicles and
their up-kecp over and above that
cost on good roads is probably ST.
100000 more. Then, too, this above
described expenditure of $f,000,000
every twenty years is paid by the
present population. Whereas, with
good roads, good civic and home de-
velopment, we can double our popu-
lation and industry and double our
receipts at the present rate of tax
alton.
| am writing this article to point
out the fact that our present system
of no-road-making is more expensive
and that we are paying out more an
nually than good roads will cost u.s..
Our national government has schools
in practical road building and ex-
perts who will come to Ourd istriCt
free Of charge and instruct us as to
good material and cost of the best
and most practical road for us. 1t
is not because good roads cost too
much here; 1t Is because Of inaction
and because we as citizens are not
to the road end OF our
that our roads are not
built on good business plans.
Let's get busy and see that our
roads are a comfort and pleasure as
well as standing for economy on
plans defined by the combined COM
mittees Of our several Boards OF
Trade in Polk county.
