ROAD BOND ISSUE 81
is HELD INVALID.

April 1st Union county voted
S450, 900 in road bonds. The peo-
pie of that county then, like
Powell, were wild with enthus.
iasm for roads, and were apx.
ious to pay the tax to get them.
Union county taxpayers, like
Powell, as matters progressed,
saw that all in sight for them
was the tax part Of it, 60 three
months after the election, some
sturdy farmers and enthusiastic
roads people. of the county got
together, employed an attorney,
and took the matter to the courts
with the result that the election
was knocked kites high this
week.
The Union county case is a
parallel case with Powell. Pow.
clips election was held ten days
later than in Union county, and
the same grounds for contest
exist.
The Tim les is strong for roads
but when we see an amount
greater than 23% of the bond is
sue gone, and only II miles of
road surveyed and a surveyor
still permanently on the job at
$l,500 per year, we know that
our long fond hopes for better
roads through our Fiscal Court is
la neg tive proposition. The on
method of getting roads in this
ktion of the county is to go in

Powell County Bonds and Tax
to be Tested In Court.
We have no doubt whatever
but that the proposed Powell
county road bond sale can be cas-
lily annlled because of some il.
LOCALITIES that the records will
show, and now that it is con.
elusive to the minds of all good
roads people who worked for the
bonds In the beginning, that I'M
der the present procedure of the
powers that be, the $40, 900 is not
going TO get what they had a
right to expect, the cry on every
lip is "knock out the bonds and
do away with the tax" Follow
ing this admonition, a suit has
been drawn with that end In
view, and the same will be filed
and the legality of the sale which
is advertised for the 22n d, tested

There is not a village in the land this has not its chronic loafers. The evidence of their industery may be seen on every store box standing outside and in the shade. The fact is that primal curse is regarded as a curse by the great majority of our fellows.
 Few men work for the pleas ure of it. The most industrious are laboring for the good time when they can loIl the lazy hours away. It is useless for econo- mist to eXhoSt such people and construct tables showing how much is lost by laZineSs, how much might be gained by indus try. Nothing but actual necces- sity drives the majyrity of men and women to work. Civilatlon makes what we call artificial wants and necessities, and in that way promotes industry; but if bread-fru trees grew. along our highways, and dates and pomegranates hung invitingly from bushes that needed no cul- tivation, our army of loafers would at once be increased to immence proportions.
