OFFERS Y OBJECTIONS
 TO GOOD ROAD BILL
JUDGE PRINCE CONCLUDES THAT MIR. CONDRAY'S LAW
 IS HELL"
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Edltor Log CaDln Democrat: Why you should vote against the adoption of the road law creating road district No. 1, on March 31, 1915: 1. Vote against the law, because it | only gives fifteen days to March 31 for the people to learn and understand the law. (They hope you won't un- derstand the law.)
 2. Vote against the law, because the board is not getting anything un- | der the law, that we can see, for their services.
 3. Vote against the law, because this board appoints five assessors to assess our lands, at such value as the board will direct.
 4. Vote against the law, because ten days given to appeal from the as sessment is so short time that no one in five hundred will be able to find out the value placed on his land.
 ,. Vote against the law, because the owners or personal property are exempt and only land owners pay tax.
 6. Vote against the law, because they can issue six per cent bonds to 20 per cent of the value of your lands, and sell the bonds at any price, and in this way the board can get more than a reasonable pay for their services.
 '. Vote against the law, because they can issue six per cent interest bearing certificates to any amount they see fit, and sell these certificates at any price, and in this way the board can get more than they should have for their services.
 8. Vote against the law, because they can make any kind of a contract they please with parties to build roads, and in this way trade and traf- tic with these contractors and other laborers.
 | g. Vote against this law, because the law fails to designate the kind of road that shall be built, and any kind of road can be built and any kind of a price paid.
 10. Vote against this law, because you cannot mortgage your land with out the consent of your wife, but un- der this law your home is mortgaged for all time to come against the wish of you and wife.
 II. Vote against this law, because it can never be repealed, and these masters will ever stand over you.
 12. Vote against this law because they will appoint attorneys and pay them large fees, and if you should fail to pay this tax by April 10 of each year, then the said tax and 20 per cent penalty, with six per cent inter- est thereon, and an attorneys fee for the district will be against your lands and the suit in chancery court with judgment and decree to sell your land will be made for all these amounts, and vour land will be sold to pay the same.
 13. Vote against this law, because the tax and expense will take the homes of widows and orphans, anc the lands and homes of hundreds o1 of the poor of the county. IA. Vote against this law, because it will take the lands and homes iron one-fifth of the people in five years. 15. Vote against this law, because it is not like the ordinary taxes, whicf gives us two years in which to pay and redeem, but when you fail to pay by April 10, they begin to sell you a once in the chancery court. 16. Vote against this law, because if you don't you will regret it the bal ance of your life.
 r. Vote against this law, becaus' there is no exemption in favor of th' poor.
 We hear it said that there is n' hell, but to have mortgage forced or us, with no hope of ever paying it of is what 1 call hell.
 P. H. Prince. Conway, March 16, 1915.
