COUNTY SOLONS
WITH US TO-DAY


that something be done to better
road conditions in Benton County,
Judge S. A. Clement has called an
extra session of Quarterly Court
at 9 o'clock this morning.
At a mass meeting held here in
June the good roads advocates of
the county adopted resolutions
asking the court to levy a tax suffi-
cient to build Benton County's link
ofthe Memphis-to- Bristol highway
or give the tax payers vote on a
proposition for bonds.
r. l.. Stockard of Nashville, clerk
of the State Railway Commission,
was present at the meeting and he
explained how the county could get
two dollars for every one they put
up for the highway. According to
the plan the county would get the
services of competent road en-
gineer and modern road building
machinery without cost, the Gov
-ernment to pay one-third of the
cost of construction, the State one
third and the county one-third of it.
The matter was brought before
Quarterly Court at the July term,
and special tax of 80 cents was
recommended, but the court voted
it down and adopted resolution
calling for special election in
August to vote on the proposition
for the special tax. The court
voted down the bond proposition
every time it was presented.
1t is questionable if there is an
other county in Tennessee or any
other State, as to that matter, that
would refuse to provide payment
for one-third the cost of a first
class highway through the county.
For years The Chronicle has
been an advocate of good roads.
Like many others we recognized
the fact that the bad roads of the
county are far more expensive to
the tax payers than bonds. This
is an incontrovertible fact. We
also recognize the fact that we
can not build roads by direct taxa
tion, for several reasons.
Road building by direct taxation
was tried out in some of the New
England States, and, like every
where else that it has been tried
ut proved burdensome to the tax
payers and required years to build
roads. We are not advocating
bonds, understand, but we can not
overlook the fact that bonds is the
only way to get roads at once, and
not be forced to accept makeshift
or wait years for good roads.
Several years ago the people OF
Madison County voted 100000
road bonds, but there was strong
opposition; men rode day and night
trying to defeat bonds, but about
the third attempt the proposition
carried and good roads were built
ont from Jackson 3 miles in every
direction. In this way everybody
got some benefit of the good roads
and when the people got little
taste they wanted more. We were
told by a man on the Henderson
Road. s miles from Jackson, thai
he opposed bonds until they built
the frst3 miles of good roads. He
said he would haul three loads ol
cotton 5 miles to the good road and
then haul it all at one load into
jackson. That made him a strong
bond advocate.
Another example: In an Hi.
,nois county they wanted roads and
tried direct taxation. The tax fol
the first year about paid for the
road machinery. The second years

Providence in being given the finest and most wonderful place in the world in which to live; the universal knowledge of the magnificence of our surroundings and the increasing ease with which they may be reached and studied brings to us prosperity in an ever-increasing tide. These tourists spend thousands of dollars every week during eight or more months in the year in each of the larger towns along the Trails.
 We mustn't forget this; we must keep in mind that to these tourists much of our prosperity is due. We must remember it for a purpose, and that is to keep the way open, to keep pace in the accommodations we have to offer-for their cash-providing roads that are at least passable and safe for them, with places for them to eat and sleep, with a will to be all ways reasonable and courteous in our dealings with them.
 Keep this idea of making things convenient for them to the front, and the west, whether it be the Lincoln highway or some highway yet to be built, can ever detract a hundredth of l per cent from the number of our an nual visitors.
 Because they always wanted to come this way, they always will want to come this way. Merely because it is the best way, the easiest way, the shortest way, the most beautiful way
 the way that is most widely and en- thusiasticaly advertised.
 So, we can keep our shirts on-ex- cept when we are impelled to take them off to do little work to make ouh highway better.
 Coconino county is doing her share, as far as her own section of the road is concerned, by having arranged to spend-with federal aid-$200, 900 on the Old Trails next year. In addition to this Flagstaff-also with federal aid-will spend s65,000 next year in paving the Old Trails through Flag staff. This money, and money already appropriated in other Arizona coun- ties along the Trails for road building next year mean that by next fall the Old Trails through Arizona will be
