Arguments to Deceive

Every reason given by the who are fighting the county highway bond proposition to be voted on December s1 is a spacious Those who make them know that they not good. They know What the real question Is:
 Shall have a county roads system shall we nOt2 If the bonds voted there will be none. The money hand. we believe about ssOO,oOO, will not give Nor would the nearly s3,oOO,- aoeO due bonds already sold to bond purchas Ing syndicate give Even then system would either of detached stretches of paved highway here and there else, less than half the rroposed system. in two at most three outlying sections of the county.
 We are not even assured that will get that ssoo0coo We are told that suit that has held the money up has dismissed will be dis missed. That alone will not give us the money. It Twill only obstacle and not the chief one; it win only the advocates of "bIack roads have given up a hopeless fight that quarter The opponents of bond issue talk of depres- the nopportunity of voting additional in- o7debtedness. What additional burden will these posed bonds impose9 Upon every who is .-sessed s1OOo the of ss.s5 year cent ', day; every who is assessed at $10.0oo. .~sss.5o 10 day. Surely the roads will be worth many times that much if he travels the roads once week and all of us do. That is a burden that tho taxpayer will not feel
 Another argument fault finding with the whole county road program. The opponents tell us that what we want Is a through system-roads con- meeting with those other counties at borders. That not the purpose of the program. The gram arranged chiefly for the benefit of the. farmers; that they might have easy to kets, those of Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe sChandler. The program was not undertaken pleasure driving for tourists. Of want to increase the pleasure driving, to invite tourists. but we will be doing that incidentally in constructing county highway system. We will De constructing important links in state system the county in every direction these links will later be connected with links by state.
 But what if we had different program-ncud- ing two more through to county bound aries7 With what would we connect them? Not of adjoining counties permanent high way approaching the Maricopa county boundary some of them have voted bonds for roads but their programs, like arranged if they been arranged at all for the greater their citizens: bettre ntra-co communication and no for inter communication. Like us they are await ing the completion of state highways by the con Rection by the state of the links which the counties are constructing intending to construct
 We building good roads system for ou own farmers primarily; secondarily for the consum who live in the towns and dependent upol the farmers; for pleasure drivers and tourist whom a compact system of 2S3 miles of good road would be attraction.
 There those who opposing bond issu and who know why they doing Prominen among the opponents the foremost advocates c black roads. They want tle whole road buildin program stopped. They know that the county now committed cement roads with tn almost unanimous approval of the people of th county. They hopeful that if building ca he held up for year two the concre ~ program may be replaced by a black roads program - Do you want the present program held up? An ~that is what will be done unless the county highwa bonds arc voted on December 31.
 Every argument have heard against the bono f has been put forward to deceive the voter
