| trust that my friends and the
voters generally will understand
why it Is not possible for me to see
them all in pereson, or be present
to urge my candidacy at all public
gatherings. This is a very busy sea-
son in the Tax Collectors office, and
consider that 1t would not be prop
er for me to sacrifice any degree Of
efficiency in the peoples business
for the bentflt OF my candidacy. I
am therefore able to get out only
when | can do so without interior
Ing with the proper dispatch of the
business Of my office, and | trust this
matter will be understood by the
voters. AS to how the Office is be-
Ing conducted, 1t is not for me to
say. but I will let the report Of the
grand jury speak for the matter.

for the manner in which they have
received my candidacy, and assuring
them that II elected their business

BOND ISSUE Will PLACE POLK IN
fRONI RAMS, DECLARES Com. MRAE

Tallahassee, Fla, April 81, 1916.
Editor Telegram: | am very glad
to note that Polk county-the most
populous off the sea coast-fourth
the counties of the State in
population, and lurth in percentage
OF increase-IO9. > per cent in the
last ten years-iS 10 take nrst place
IN the matter OF building we'll
devised system OF good roads. To
build 80 mics of improved road
ways at cost of Sl,5UU,000, seems
a big venture for a county-bold ey-
en- Tor a state government 10 under
take. However, when your situation
is analysed it is not such d serious
proposition. Polk county is fifth in
area in the State, containing ap-
proXimately l,220,4oO acres, so
much larger than Rhode Island a
State with over 100000 population
that the Florida counties of Her.
nando and Pinellas could be thrown
in and then fall ten square miles of
oeing as large.
For Polk county to place $780,
600 in permanent highways is mere
~ an investment of a little more
than one dollar an acre when the
total acreage of the county is con-
sidered. Good roads are necessary If
country is to prosper. Polk county
has doubled in population in the last
ten years. This will be duplicated
and more in the next ten years, by
this addition to it's physical strength
and resourcefulness. The desirable
ity of community as place of res
idence turns more on the possession
of easy means of communication
than almost anything else. A COM
prehensive system of real roads In
Polk county as contemplated, will
add millions to local values.
Without the railroad, Florida
would still be a wilderness. By sup.
plementing these iron ways with
good wagon ways the circle is com.
pleted. The building OF 225 miles Of
main highways of permanent char
acter will add millions to the tota
wealth Of Polk county. There shoult
be no hesitation in the matter, bu
the roads should be made of the mos
lasting material. The fast moving
automobile is more destructive Il
the average road, many times over
than the passing of even the heavi
est slow-moving log wagon. So lie
me urge the use of material requir
ing the least cost of upkeep.
Polk county has many good towns
none more in numbers and enter
prise and thrift in the interior of tn
State. Good roads to connect then
with each other and the country sid
to facilitate the cheap transporta
ton of farm products, the quick dis
tribution of mail and all other ad
vantages of accessibility will pu

by all other counties and Florida
will take position among the most
progressive commonwealths in the
Union.
Florida has reached a period when
the eyes of the whole country are
upon it. 1t has become the resort
State of the Union. No State can be
made moro attractive with trees,
plants and flowers, but we are not
fully availing ourselves of this ad-
vantage. The condition of many of
our roads is oftener a cause of apol-
ogy than of civic pride. The poor
road is destructive to vehicles, dis
comfort to travellers, a menace to
public safety. The poor road helps
to drive the young people from the
farm into the treadmill of city wage
life and the social balance between
the productive and self sustaining
life of the country and the artificial
life of the city is being upset.
In groups and sections various
standard highways are now in ex-
istence in different parts of our con-
tinent Some of these roads are
widely separated but they are being
extended and connected. No greater
difficulties in an engineering sense
are to be met with in the South
and less so in Flordia-than in the
North. Automobiles now travel from
ocean to ocean and lakes to gulf. An
/ interstate system Is already well un-
der way and the construction of con
| Meeting links is a matter of the near
future. is it dream to say that the
/ day Is not remote when one can ride
in motor car from Hudson's bay to
the Straits of Magellan, and AS q
side trip circle the coasts of Florida
and criss-cross the peninsula Ia all
directions? The words cant and
! impossible" do not enter the case.
1t is estimated that million
tourists visited the State last win
ter who brought with them no less
than fifty thousand automobiles. II
goes without saying that that class
with money to spend-will natur-
ally seek the location with the most
desirable roads. The completion Of
the Dixie and other highways con
Meeting our State with the NORTH
means a large increase of visitors OF
the automobile class.
With State Good Roads Depart
