THE ROAD BILL

/ in 25 years under
the bill, each year 2.4o mills
Grady County yalua
tion, 1913 ---- .27459,o64OO
Grady Countys por-
tion bonds and in
terest --- 1,427,9l7O0
Grady county's part
each year -- 6S,375. 90
Under these figures Grady county
would be entitled to 80 miles Of
roads based upon the 1870 provided
for in the bill, while in fact, only 81
miles are shown on the road map.
If the roads cost an average Of
$1S,5O0OO a mile, then only half the
roads on the map can be built, and
Grady county would get her just
proportion of half the mileage in
the county or AZ miles For this
the people of Grady county would
pay S1,427 ,94f.OO or $95,25SO0 for
each mile. This would mean that
the people of Grady county would
pay $16,75800 per mile more than
each mile Of road cost, on the basis
of 18,500O0 per mile If the 1870
miles of road described in the bill is
constructed, it will be at an aver
age cost of $95l2O0 per mile, and if
Grady county gets her 81 miles on
this basis, the people of the county
will pay for such 81 miles $1,427947
OF, $l762S.OO per mile for each Of
her 81 miles which cost $9512.OO per
mile Is It worth it?
Is a road that costs $1S,500O0 a
mile worth to the people of Grady
county, $35,S2SOO a mile Is road
that costs S9512O0 mile worth to
Grady county, $1762SOO mile
Answer these questions for yourself
before you vote. If the roads cost
$18,50000 a mile and Grady county
gets 40 miles on this basis, the peo-
pie of the county will pay each year
$6S,375.00 construction cost, S7055.00
a year maintenance on the 40 miles,
and $S0O0O0 depreciation as provided
in the Bill, or a total of S83, 1900
each for 25 years for the use of 40
miles Of road, making $20a5oo each

for these bridges by taxation. If the
county should fail to build the
bridges, then it necessarily follows
that the roads would not he built.
The roads would be useless without
the bridges.
Tile roads must be maintained,
Maintenance Is as important is con-
struction The bill leyies tax on
all land within three miles ON each
side Of the road for maintenance
It IS practically conceded that this
fund will be insufficient. In Grady

Of this land owned by restricted In

levied or collected on such lands
How will this loss to the mainten-
ance fund be made up? Who will
pay the balance OF the maintenance
expense? Read the bill and see if
you can answer?
Read the bill carefully. See If you
can understand it. See if you think
it workable, practicable and equt-
able.
After you read it, consider the
great disappointment Of the people
along the routes named in the bill
where the roads can not be built be-
cause there will be no money to
build them. Think Of the cost Of
building bridges, or the confusion
that will arise If a county fails or
refuses to build them. Think of the
maintenance provision, and the con-
fusion likely to arise when the main

Think of the general disappointment

The bill provides for fifty million

amounts to $24 ,SOOOoO.OO, making a
total to pay $74,SOO, 100000. The BIZ,

with which to pay for the4730 miles
of durable hard surfaced roads, or
the sum of $9512.Q0 per mile.
1t is conceded that the road will
cost from $15,00O0O to $25,0O0.00 per
mile, and therefore the 47S0 miles
can not be constructed with the
$45, 900, 100000 available If the ROADS
cost an average of $1S,5O0OO a mile,
which is low estimate, then only
half the roads described in the bill
can be constructed If this be true,
can any one tell you what roads will
be built and what roads abandoned,
The bill reads "The principal Of
said bonds shall be paid from the
general revenue fund of the state at
the time such bonds become due and
the interest on all bonds sold shall
be paid from the general revenue
fund of the state at the time said
interest becomes due
The bill further provides:
after this amendment becomes
fully operative and until all of said
bonds with accrued interest shall
have been paid and retired, there
shall be collected annually by the
state in the same manner and at
the same time as other state rev
enue is collected such sum in addi-
tion to the ordinary exepnses of the
state, as shall be required and suf-
ficient to pay the principal of said
bonds and accrued interest thereon
as herein provided, and it is hereby
made the duty of all officers charged
by law with any duty in regard t.
the levy and collection of said rev
enue to do and perform each an
every act which shall be necessary
to levy and collect such alditiona

state. which pays the Ordinary state
expenses, lis made~sup from license
and privilege taxes, gross produc-
tion tax on oil, inheritance. tax and
other special taxes, and the balance
by an ad valorem tax levy on the |
taxable property in the state. The |
last legislature appropriated about |
$1S,000,00000 for ordinary expenses
of the state as against about $14,-
000,O00.0O two years ago. Any in
crease in special and privilege taxes [
will necessarily have to make up |
this increase in expense of $4,000
100000 if the present rate Of ad va
loren tax remains as it is now.
Therefore. it makes no difference
whether special taxes are mentioned
in the bill, or whether they are ap-
for ordinary expense as
now, the bonds and interest and the
expense of the state must
be raised by the levy of a tax, over
and above the present rate, suffi-
cient for such purposes. In fact, the
express provisions of the bill levy
such tax as may be necessary.
The state examiner and inspectors
office has made the following calcu-
alton as to the tax levy necessary

Maxwell Motor Cars do not belong
to the Cheap Car Class" This
product is the undisputed leader in
the Refined Car Class.
BY refined we mean in a me-
chanical sense.
Maxwells are not made to fit pre-
determined, nor to meet a COMPETE
tive, price.
They are designed to fill certain
definite demand for Q light car of
enthusiastically as well as in
outward appearance.
We first make the car as 1t should
be made, then set the price.
We do not cut our price to meet
the price of a car of inferior quail
ty. '
Nor did We, as We have shown,
take advantage of . Wartime ex-
cuse to raise the price to fictiti-
Gus figure.
Had the war continued and we had
not made another car, the buyer Of
the last Maxwell would have paid
the regular price and no more.
The Maxwell policy Is clean and II
is consistent-we are not "oppor-
tunists" in business.
Those changes and refnements in
this new 1919 model actually cost
more than the difference between
its price and that of the 1913 mod
ell.
So the price of this new Maxwell
should have been more.
But We are content to accept
smaller margin of profit per car In
the interest of greater volume so
have cor tinuod that price on this
1919 model.
There are today more Maxwells in
= hands Of users than of any COM
parable carve are counting on
the splendid quality with the low
price of this latest model to main
tain that leadership.
"But talk is all right" you cay.
You want something dennie. some
thing tangible to tie to.
Very wsll-hsre is your guarantee.
Price Of tho MAXWELL Motor Gar to-
day (Tolring or ROADSTER mOdol)
il e605.OO I. o. b. Detroit, Michi-
gan, and we absolutely guarantee
that price until juno next, 1919.
Every Maxwell dealer is authoriz-
ed to give you that guarantee in
writing at the time of purchase of
our car.
Some makers have announced re-
ductions- others will follow.
So far, however, We have seen no
real reductions though there
have been some genuine increases
of price since the war closed. There
will be more of the latter. too!
In buying q Maxwell Motor Car you
know precisely where you stand.
And our guarantee of the price Is
your best guarantee of the intrins-
ic value of this product.
So buy the Maxwell you need-gst
your order in early.
Maxwells may 60 to premium
price may have to be increased
but we guarantee you absolutely
against a reduction.

Especially is this so II the model he
is offering you today is precisely
the same model he offered you then
but at 20 to 25 per cent advance
now over his then prices (even af-
ter his recent reduction).
Is it not logical to assume that. as
his price yesterday was fictitious, 1t
is still almost equally so?
1t costs more to build a motor car
today than it did year ago.
Materials are higher-wages are
higher. All costs are higher.
1t will continue for q long time to
come on the present scale we be-
iieve. ..-- e. .-.-
Tell you why.
Materials are now in demand by
the whole world-will continue to
be during the years of reconstruc-
ton in Europe.
Especially 10 this so in the case Of
steel. copper and other minerals.
Rubber also will likely range high
er.
Rubber is the biggest single item
of cost in q motor car and it 10 in
great demand.
Wages will never go back to the
pre-war scale.
Every student of the problem il
now agreed upon that.
You have read in the newspapers
lately the statement by the United
States Steel Corporation that that
concern 10 not going to reduce
wages-and that concern 10 the
biggest employer of labor in the
World.
1t Is well!-pass the prosperity
around and We will all get our
share.
II tho mechanic gets more pay, all
lines Of business bsnsit-and more
people are able to buy motor cars.
We can soc no reason to xpect that
the cost of manufacturing Nax-
we'll Motor Car will Be less In
year from now than it 10 today.
War or no war. the price of the
Maxwell product would have been
precisely what 1t IL today.
We did take advantage of the War
time condition-but only to incor-
porate In this now model several
changes and improvements.
Factory busy on war work, our
engineers and tool makers had
brief respite-and We used that to
perfect the MAXWELL product.
We have spent more than 100000
on special tools for more accurate
finishing of parts.
Cylinders are now ground after
reaming-formerly only reamed.
That is only one OF many similar
ref1nements.
This new 1919 model Maxwell. de-
liveries Of which will begin immedi
ately, is . superior product.
1t is q larger car-a more commo-
dous body. Gasoline tank is at
rear instead of under front seat
costs more. worth 1t.
The new Psntosots top adds great
ly to appearance as we'll a. to SER
viceability. Graceful in design. In
Quality-the best.
Seats are deeper, softer-better
springs. better materials.

Pre-War War-Time Present

Car &c" $500 $500 745.o0
Car I'D" 1880 $500 $500

From the above 1t Is clear that
some reduced" prices are still too
high.
For when the price of product
was increased by 33 per cent and
then dropped back ten per cent, you
can't say it has yet been put back
whore it belongs!
And that Is Just what happened In
several cases.
Just consider q moment:
II a maker is able to drop back to
"pre-war" prices oday, on what
basis did he justify his wartime
price? And especially his most
recent wartime peak" price?
Certainly he bought no materials
while we we're In the war-he
could not.
II he bought them before, then he
bought them at the same rates We
did!
In that case there was no real rea-
son for his excessive wartime
peak" price.
II he cannot justify his prices OF
yesterday. can you accept his state
ments today?
Only gauge you have as to the In
trinsic value of his product is
it's pre-war price.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1919-01-22

Recently you have seen announce
ments of price reductions on some
makes of motor cars.
These seeming reductions 1--WE use
the term seeming" advissdlyD
have given the average buyer an err
roneous impression.
That impression is to the effect that
the price of motor cars generally Is
above normal and will come down
in the near future.
Now, as a matter of fact, that is not
the condition at all.
There is no warrant for any such
assumption.
Just analyse the situation yourself
and see If our statements are tusti-
fed.
Recall the prices that existed on Ger
tain makes of automobiles before
the United States went into the war
and compare the prices of those
same cars today.
You'll find that any reductions that
have been made were necessary.
In a word, they apply only to cars
that were Observation-Disclosures
priced-before such reductions.
For example: Consider four
makes of cars that formerly were
priced in close competition with
the Maxwell.
Compare their pre-war (normaD
prices; their wartime peak"
prices, and their present reduced
