have talked with nearly all of ou:'
local citizens who are fighting the
road bond bill and 1 find that they
all make wry faces and declare that
the bill is wicked and every one as
signs a different resson for opposing
it. I have talked TO some OF these
citizens more than once, and every
one assigns a different reason every
time he explains his opposition. Near
ly every objector admits that the OBJ

effort to learn the truth.

The proposed bond proposition is
the most just of all the plans that

roads. II provides that the bond
should be retired within twenty years.

In other words. tiIe roads are paid
for during the time they are being

them; this bond measure is not like
some bonding propositions which in
volve the borrowing of money and its
repayment in a lump sum at sometime
in the distant future such a scheme
is unjust because il places the burden
of paying for road construction upon
the next generation after this genera

The suggested plan to build roads
by direct tax is equally if not more,
unjust. A direct tax would have to
be uniform. and would require contri-

owner owns an automobile or horse
