b R o D n e AID

A few days ago petition was be-
ing circulated asking the County
Judge to call an election to OBTAIN
the sense of the voters on the road
question that met with defeat last
November, and in our Judgement
the result will be the same as
last election unless the good peopl
are informed as to the advantag,
TO be derived from the law en-
acted for the benefit of counti
like ours. Now We feel tn =
every voter owes it to himself u
lay aside all prejudice. dismiss
from his mind that this is NJ re
scheme to extort money from
him and endeavor to inform him
self whether it is to his advantage
or his disadvantage to vote tor
or against this question. 1t is
very true that a great deal of
money has been expended in this
county and to the masses of the
peop.t it appears to have been
wasted; but this question has moth
ing tn do with what has been
wasted in the past, has nothing at
all to d. with any road funds that
may Lave been misappropriated,
it is uestion Of vital importance
and o: that needs and merits
your unbiased, unpreiudiced and
loyal support. We desire to call
especial attention to part OF
Section Is, Chapter 20, Acts Of
the General Assembly of 1918,
which is as follows: "rhe costs
of the lnter.county seat roads
constructed under the provisions
of this act shall be paid as fol-
lows I'm counties having an as
sessed valuation of less than
SIS 900 900, seventy five per cent.
shall be paid out of the State road
fund and the remainder shall he
paid by the county. Rockcastle
county has assessed valuation of
less than Five million dollars
therefore the above applies to US.
and it is easily seen that for every
dollar We pay toward road pur
poses the state will paw three dol.
lars for the same purposes. then
if this be true why is it not agood
thing for US? The Acts. of the
General Assembly. above referred
to. are now at the Citizens Bank,
Brodhead, and We invite you to
go there and read this section,
acqualnt yourself with the law and
if you find it to your advantage
then vote tor your interests. 1t
you are interested in your own
homes, in your schools, in the
welfare of yourself and those de-
pendent upon you you owe it 10
yourself to post Yourself in this
matter and then 60 to the poles
and cast your vote wis ely, in
diligently and judiciously.
