Similar bond issues In other states have been
referred for action OF the Legislature and voters
approximately Sal 300 ,000 and consideration IS
given In other States for issues approximately
Sli5,0OO.000 IN the entire country since ike
issues have been placed before the voters only

Texas proposed issue Of S75OO0,OOO will be
voted on November 9TH
The Texas Industrial Congress has recently
prepared good road literature setting forth the
advantages of good roads, and this data has
been very instrumental In placing before the
people the Importance OF good roads. In con
densed form il divides the gain through good
roads into seven parts, as follows: Cd A de-
crease in the cost Of hauling produce 20 town
ard Of hauling provisions and supplies from
town 10 the farm, amounting TO about one-haf;
(2) Use Of the road every day In the year, IN
good weather or bad; (3) An increase in the
value of farm lands, ranging from 30 TO 300
per cent the increase being relatively greater
for the land lying farther back from the road
than for the land ad dining the road; (4) OPP
portunty 20 grow garden vegetables on engage
in truck or dairy farming in which the profits
are usually larger, where formerly the farmer
could only grow garden crops and non-periSh-
able and non-bulky produce; (5) More money
for schools through the increase of farm values
enabling the community 10 have bettAr school
houses and teachers and better attendance or
the pupils: co Rural mail delivery which puts
the farmer in touch with the world every day
in the year, bringing the news TO his door;
% An opportunity TO become better acquainted

social life in the farming community through
the ability to visit from farm TO farm; thus
shutting out the lonesomeness and drudgery m
cident 10 farm life in ram-shacke neiehbor-
hoods.
Other arguments set forth by the Texas In
dustiial Congress for good roads are:
There are three necessary factors in successful
farming: ( The greatest possible yields at the lowest
possible cost GU The opportunity 20 sell at profit
over cost Of production (3) Roads in such condition
and such railway facilities will enable the grower 10
place his product the hands Of the buyer AZ reason

dofsars annually and mAde avaslabis for rcnd
building III the State by voting OF issues oy
counties instead OF districts within the county.
This Is the opinion OF practically everyone
within close touch with the road movement,
and in this connection. G. n. Avery OF the state
Highway Department said THE overhead ex-
pense incident 10 the voting Of the issues and
their marketing is enormous when one con-
sders the hundreds of issues voted annually in
the State Of Texas. Investigation has shown
that in many instances where several districts
within a county have voted issues that the ex-
pense would not only be curtailed in the voting
of a county issue but with proper handling
much larger amount could have been voted and
the entire county secured a uniform system OF
roads rather than isolated districts in many
instances who we're more progressive than their
neighbors.
Bonds throughout the North and East are
greatly enhanced in valuation when the issue Is
a county issue and not district issue. Every
county issue sold in the East and North creates
additional interest in the State Of Texas and
means advertising the State itself among the
moneyed interests as well as thousands of IN
dividuals Bonds sold at a premium imme-
diately attract the attention of thousands be-
cause they are aware that bond buyers are not
buying issues at premium prices unless they
are well protected. Nothing is more evident
therefore than that Texas counties are rich
ana prosperous ana LnelI OOHuS are SOuSHV a."
the market.
Commissioner Avery also points out that on
the other hand when district bonds are voted
and marketed they are often sold at discount,
the district losing money, the county name re-
cevng a tinge because bonds in any one of its
districts do not bring their par valuation at
least and the name of the State itself is shad-
owed in measure rather than FURNISHED
In many counties small districts vote bonds
for Improvement Their roads are improved
and perhaps the next district has not improved
the road within it's limits This means a broken
system of roads and stretches of good roads
are materially reduced in advantages when their
connecting links with terminal cities are bad
roads
II is the hope of Mr.. Avery that districts
voting bonds in counties throughout the State
viii be able TO get together with their neighbors
and their neighbors with their neighbors and
perhaps work out county bond issue with the
entire county benefting with a continuous and
uniform system. He hopes to see the rivalry
for good roads exist between counties and not
districts within the counties.
Likewise the expenses of holding several dis
trict elections printing and marketing the
bonds printing on ballots, examination costs on
bonds etc. reach figure in many instances
that would build additional mileage Of roads.

For the Farm

A tractor never gets tired, it plows as fast

that can he done by any kind of pulley or belt
work. All this gives the farmer time for more
study. for work at other things or for pursuit
of pleasure.
And most of all, power farming puts the
farm on basis with other big business, and
it is big business, the feeding and clothing
of one hundred million discriminating people.
Power farming makes the farm more pleas
ant, and keeps our American youth on the
farm where with his new IDEAS and methods,
he can better build and strengthen this great
nation Of ours.

Much of our so-called arid, or semi arid land

our large grain countries. and some OF our land,
which we call too dry, could be made to give a
large yield.
BY dscing. blowing and discIng the land early
in the fall this moisture would he saved.

and at the rate of an acre per hour and with

During short season, when the weather is
threatening power farm methods come into
their own; by changing crews, one can pillow all
night for the tractor unlike the horse, never
grows tired.
Power farming cannot do away with the
horse or mule, but il can cut their use in hall.
The feed that is used toward keeping the
extra horses can be used for cattle and hogs,
and thus increase the farmers profit, and give
him a cash CROP.
The time saved. can be devoted TO diversity

and hogs.
As has been clearly said by one writer, power

This age Of ours is truly mechanical age,
everywhere one turns. he sees evidences OF
mechanics and power machinery.
Business is largely done by machinery in
fact our factories have 20 a large extent made
possible this advanced civilization of ours. The
day of crude mechanics, operated by muscles
of toiling men, has passed.
Our ocean liners bind countries together and
allow an exchange of products and IDEAS

Consider the important part machinery play

and telegraph.
Automobiles and trucks are great time savers
imagine the haulage problem in the cities,
without trucks. Think how close is a mans
farm to town who owns an automobile. Space
is measured in minutes, rather than in miles.
Today we are talking about the arplane that

good. costs only $4,000? Time and labor saved
is the answer
The fact that the farming interests of Amer
lea today represent sixty billion dollars, COM
pared TO that of all other business combined as
representing fifty billion dollars, shows clearly
that agriculture is this nations greatest bust
ness asset
Is the farmer deriving as much gain from the
capital invested. and the labor expended, as
other business? Is he paying for time. or for
results? In other business the earnings are
lareeiy commensurate of the capital and labor
involved The answer is clearly that other bust
ness is using labor-saving machines and meth
dds
The business Of agriculture must derive bene-
fits from this mechanical age. Truck and trail
ers get produce 10 the market quickly and
cheapy when the market Is advancing. and
also saves time for other work. Power farm
ne speeds UP work on the farm.
The fact that speed and labor il saved Is
most vital one. Increased production is an
other.

The State SIS 900, 900 road bond amendment
TO the Constitution is arousing much interest
throughout the State and those who have made
n preliminary survey, report much enthusiasm
and little opposition. This opposition has been
based largely on a misunderstanding and contu-
sion on account Of the fact that the amendment
gives the Legislature power to levy tax OF
20 cents on the 800 valuation. II is not IN
tended that there will be a levy Of any ad va

In explaining the action Of the Legislature
Representative Laney stated THE reason the
tax provisions were made was because the
bonds would not be saable unless that power
was vested in the Legislature. All the pro-
vision means is that il assures the validity OF
the bonds through the security Of the state
Buyers would not purchase the road bonds u
