BONDING FOR ROADS

Already we hear some opposition
manifested TO bond issue; said OPP
position being based mostly on the
present high taxation.
We deplore the taxation as much
as anyone, and as our leaders know
have fought every move to unneces-
sarily increase it. But we consider 1T
our duty to support this issue.
We do not see how this county can
afford to fall out of line on the good
roads movement. To 60 in will be to
tax ourselves; to stay out will be to
sacrifice ourselves.
pie.
The automobile has become the
principal means of transportation In
this as in most other countries.
The efficiency of the auto is in
creased from 100 to 1000 per cent by
| good road.
| A bad road takes more time, more
! gas and more oil, and makes more
wear and tear on the machine. Good
roads will save to the auto owner
much more than his taxes.
The auto has become the distribut-
ing agent.
1t goes out of the towns and the
small railroad stations and delivers
goods at the doors of the farmers. Or
it's return trip it takes to town nj:
butter, eggs and produce. The better
the road the more it can carry anC
less will be the expense.
And many other things it can de-
for the home folks.
For those out of other parts, i
makes their way thru our county more
easy. Consequently. more will come
this way. They will spend their mon
ey as they pass thru and we shall al
be the richer.
Every once in a while some persol
leisurely driving thru will fall in low
with our well-tilled fields and prett,
and we shall have more good peopl
to help US bear the burden of taxes.
The federal government is building
national system of good roads, bu
it is helping only the states that hel
themselves, and the states are helpin
2 only those counties that help them
) Lselves.
e When the work is done, the govern
ment will make big maps, which wi
e be hung up in all the offices Of motto
clubs, boards of trade, newspaper OF
fees and all other public places in tn
t United States and Canada.

If we do not bond for good road
and the counties on each side of l
o do, Marion will be like rough. ia,
r ged piece of wild land lying in tt
