Promise To Spend Every

Voted For The
Purpose

On next Tuesday there will be sub

the question of levying tax Of one

county commissioners pledge them
selves to spend every cent for the

Commissioners Of Butler County, have
submitted to the Electors of said

more work for the thousands of men
employed in the quarries, the clay
banks, the brickyards- turning out
the raw material that goes into the
road; it means more employment in
transportation Of these materials,
more men employed in actual construc-
tion of roads.
Nor are the men who get the ma
terials out of the earth and put them
into the road the only ones benefited
More good roads mean more motor
vehicles and no industry in the world
today is furnishing as much employ
ment and paying as much in wages as
the motor vehicle industry.
But there is a broader reason than
any Of the above why every man who
tolls should support the good roads
movement. He is not only adding 20
his own prosperity and that Of his
community by providing for better
roads, but is helping to establish a
more direct system OF communication
and transportation between the farm
and the city. Good roads are the best
aid to direct marketing from pro-
ducer to consumer. A vote for good
roads is a vote for economy and
against waste. Here is one issue in
