MEREDITH ON ROADS.
Statement of Il. T. Meredith, Demo-
cratic Candidate for Governor,
On Good Roads.

| do not assume to anticipate the
action of the democratic state con-
vention which in July will express in
it's platform the crystalized sentiment
of the democracy in Iowa upon the
question of good roads as we'll as
upon other live issues; but as can
didate in the primaries for the Office
of governor, do wish to state my po-
sition that the people of Iowa may
know exactly where | stand.
| am for better roads than we now
have in Iowa, both because Of what it
means to the state in development
along social lines, and because good
roads are real money makers for the
farmers who live upon them and
bring a real advance in the value of
lands adjacent to the highways.
| do not advocate that roads be
built of brick, cement, asphalt or 9th
err costly materials, but l do urge the
use of gravel whenever available or
can be procured at reasonable cost.
| am in favor of having the roads SO
graded and surfaced that they may
be travelled 365 days in the year.
AS to paying for improved roads, l
am not in favor Of increasing our tax
levies, local or state, dollar. The
money now paid in taxes will, if spent
properly and under a comprehensive
plan, pay for permanent roads with
out increasing the burdens of taxa
ton.
The people Of the communities to
be served by the road must have a
voice in determining by their votes
first whether they want the improved
road and second what kind of road
they shall have. | am not IN favor Of
forcing improved roads upon any
community that does not desire them
AS to plan,I will agree to any feasible
plan. | want plan SO fair and just
to all that il will appeal to the people
OF every community and result in it's
acceptance by the people OF every
county in the state.

Cause he's seen all there Is to sec;
But he likes to sit there by me
And watch me, to catch the surprise
That comes into my face and eyes
When folks come on the stage and do
Things l do not expect them to.
He says he finds it's lots OF fun
To watch difrent expressions run
Across my face when some old clown
Gets his feet crossed and tumbles down
Or jumps out OF the way so quick
The other man that has the stick
Hits one he was not meaning to,
The way they almost always do.
