pie and the railroads could very easily
take care of everything needed to
successfully prosecute the war.
The average man has plenty of
sense but the great trouble is that he
has not time nor the inclination to
stop and think about everything. He
naturally looks askance at any propo-
sition where 1t is shown that he would
be benefited: he Immediately figures
there is a niger in the wood pile"
but IL every man, woman and child
would figure for themselves what a
good road would be worth to them
from their home to the county seat
and how little it would cost when dis
tributed among all the people, the
question of good roads in this county
is solved without further argument
Briefly stated, you cannot have good
schools, you cannot attend church, you
cannot visit your neighbor without
good roads and do not think that you
are not paying heavy road tax when
you have bad roads for over them your
hauling costs are doubled and some
times quadrupled; your horses your
wagons and your harness are daily
going to pieces. On every shirt you
wear every pair of shoes or overalls
you wear there is tax because of
bad roads, for you must remember
that the merchant in the rural district
figures the cost f. o.. b. his store, and
you know he must sell everything at a
higher price when he has to pay enor-
nous sums of money for everything
that is hauled to his place of business.
Likewise, you do not receive as much
for your farm products as you should
II man should buy load of corn
ten miles from this town, in order to
get 1t to market he would have to fig
ure on hauling it to Paintsville, so
you would not receive as much per
barrel for your product as man would
living the same distance from Lexing-
ton or Louisville or any place where
the material can be easily transported.
So It is not a question of lodging a
road tax, but 1t is question of paying
a cheaper tax and at the same time
having the pleasure of good highways.
Some wise man has aptly said that
Roads rule the world-not kings nor
congresses, not courts nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The Road is
the only royal line in a democracy, the
only legislature that never changes,
the only court that never sleeps. the
only arm that never quits, the first
aid to the redemption of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation in any So
ciety, the call from savagery in any
tribe, the herald of prosperity. The
Road is umpire in every war, and when
the new map is made, 1t simply pushes
on its great campaign of help, hope,
brotherhood efficiency and peace"
In conclusion would say that you
should not forget that the majority
of families in this county have eth
err sons or relatives in this war; that
they will return to their ratN heath
and will naturally expect TO see some
progress made. They will have seen
the highways of France. Belgium and
Italy; they viii see the good that
has come from them because the roads
saved France. They will not be con-
tented TO live at home on n road where

your county. find that IL the proper
authorities should devote to roads all
that the law allows them to collect
for such purposes. II would amount to
Ettle more than twelve thousand
dollars. TO take care of hundreds of
miles of road. II should not require
much argument on the part of any
man to convince the most pessimistic
that such a sum of money is insuffc-
lent, therefore, one of the first things
to do is to secure the funds, and to
my mind the best method afforded
under the laws OF this State at this
time is direct tax. The law now
I permits the Fiscal Court to authorize
an election for an extra tax of zoe on

the average man 1t would be less
money than he pays for newspapers.

thing would be to select a good engi-

severe burns. Owing to his being aged

injury, death resulting Saturday night
al about p. m.

LIvEREo AT PAINTsvlLLE
OCTOBER 10, 1918.

The good county Of Johnson has
been famous for most every good thing
except good roads and ] am here to-
day TO try and interest you in high
ways which will benefit this county
more than anything else in the world
except the winning OF the war.
The prosperity OF every nation rests
on it's agricultural production. Each
and every enlightened Government Is
considering today the problem OF keep
ing open the lines OF communication
between producer and consumer. II
we Kentuckians, therefore, are to keep
pace with the stride OF the world, we
must look to our responsibilities.
with the wonderful development of
the South. that challenges the admir-
alton OF the world, good roads are more
OF necessity now than ever. in order
that we may keep pace with our
neIghbors who are abreast of the
times.
Someone has ably said that today TO
describe mans location Is merely to
Indicate his geography. Distance from
any place il not now indicated so
much In miles as II is in time. and of
all the systems OF transportation
(there being only three) the highways
are perhaps the most important be-
cause the highways are the feeders of
the other two systems. and just as
gasoline feeds the motors that drive
the aeroplanes SO do the highways feed
the railroads and steamships that
carry food for our boys and our allies.
Did you ever stop to think that all
the wheat, all the corn, in fact all OF
the foodstuffs now used by our great
armies first passes over the highways?
Just at this time It is not advisable
to attempt road work where II is nee

either in some town or some other
county where they receive the advant-
ages afforded by good roads. So IL you
want TO keep your boys and girls at
home, where they should be, see to 1t
that they have good roads to town so
that they can get all the benefits of
this life to which they are entitled,
and you will have done not only your
patriotic duty, but you will have done
that which every man owes to pos
terity the making of county better
and a more fit place in which to live.
