not a fact that it is easier for
you to create possessions in the
advance value of lands and other
property than to toll through the
heat Of summer to do 80. And il
is the first consideration of every
good, wise and thrifty farmer
to see to it well that everything
he owns is increasing in value
thereby adding to his already
accumulated holdings. Do you
think that your children will rise
up and denounce you for giving
them good roads and also a road
tax to pay? II you are leaving
them a landed estate increased in
value by virtue of the roads, and
all by your enterprising spirit
voting upon yourself and them
the little increase in taxation.
No, but on the contrary they will
always praise their fathers for
their forethought and would say,
we would feel ashamed of them
should they have left US with the
expensive mud roads and forced
US TO build good roads and yet all
the benefit of them while they
are sleeping in their graves.
Good roads are coming, one way
or the other. We may by our
votes refuse to build roads and
take advantage of State aid, but
other counties are going to and
are now taking advantage and it
is only a question of time until
we will have to whether we
want TO or rot.

THE COUNTY
BOND ISSUE
Our County Judge, John G. Asher,
Presents Some Unanswerable
Arguments in Bond Favor


let US have a little heart to
heart talk. We find on this
question as on all other vital
questions a diversity of opinion.
This is all right as everyone is
Justly entitled to his or her opin-
ion. But a great many reasons
are assigned for the bonds and a
great manv against them. and in
many instances without a shadow
of argument therefor. First let
us consider the facts upon which
q bonded issue Is based. In the
first place all our roads now 10 be
constructed or reconstructed by
state aid are under the supervision
Of state authorities. And the
state offers and obligates itself
to pay one.half Of the bond issue
that any county may authorize
for road and bridge construction
under state aid. Placing us in
this attitude relative TO the pay
ment therefor. We pay one-half
and the state pays one-half. II
we as a people are desirous OF
bettering our road conditions,
and undertake to construct rock
roads under state supervision,
the state will lay down one dol
lar for every one dollar that we
lay down for that purpose. Then
later we are promised from the
Federal government a like sum,
and this sum comes out Of the
postal department. So il is up
to US to inaugurate the spirit OF
enterprise and vote the usual OF
the bonds and take the benefit OF
state and Federal aid. In this
way we can soon have good roads
and be reaping the benefit Of
them while We are paying for
them. The tax necesitated there.
for cannot exceed the sum Of 20
cents on the hundred dollars
worth Of taxable property. and
there can be no poll tax for road
purposes. So the tax at most
will not be very heavy. And the
use Of the roads will more than
pay any man in each and every
year that he pays taxes. Some
people object to the bond issue
from the fact that they consider
1t a debt created for future gen.
erations to pay. In a sense this
is true but who would object to
that, when We are building roads
for future generations to use.
Still another objection Is that il
will enhance the value Of lands,
and will not increase their pro.
ductive qualities. The first may
be true and | really believe that
II is, the latter is Of course true.
for nothing will increase the pro-
ductiveness Of your lands other
than something placed immed-
'iately thereon. But granting that
the marketable value Of the land
is increased. who would object to
that! Some say. We do not want
TO sell our lands, hence we would
be paying on something for which
we have never realized any mon.
ey. Now this is an elusive ar.
gument and OF no value what
ever for this reason, II you 20

to prepare for a large crop of TO-
bacco, you do so from a monetary
consideration. You have no
