human experience proves it,
Look at the country stores of twenty
years ago in any part of your county,
now all dead and gone out of existence.
Why: Because the coming of autos
and rapid transportation, railroad sta
tions and businesses there, have taken
all the trade away from country stores,
hotels and places and with good
roads under this bond issue, viii be
certain death to commercial life ana
business in small places Where now
are the stores that then grew wealthy
in many parts of the country in your
county: Closed for lacl; of customers,
all going to buy at larger cities and
where 'hey can trade at four or five
large stores, and in their judgment, get
better and cheaper goods than at home
stores in small places
Again, by Wisconsin statutes, towns,
villages ard cities, must at their eN-
Ii.,,,,,.. ..., -.
it any injury or damage, happen
lhGeon the county IS only liable, not
the Sta,c n country, unless such IN
jury was due to the act of town, city
.or village in mtking such highway de
fective, in which case damages go
against said town, city or village and
not against the county, and if injury
happens because of the neglect of the
county or town, or village highway
commissioners, then in such case thc
county and towA, or villags may re
cover such damages IS 1t must pay be
cause of said defective highway, from
its highway commissioner. (Sec Sua-
divisions and of section 1877, Il, ;.
Wis, 1917, page lOO3.) No state nor
country Liability at all, even the chair
man of towns used to be and | think
still is liable personally for such dam
ages, but | have not the time to hunt
1T up now.

some supposed wise fellow will tell you
that the state and country will pay
about a third of these taxes and bouds.
even if true, where does the state and
county get the money to do this; They
do not pick it up, or manufacture it;
it all comes out of you taxpayers, every
cent Of it. Do not let any one delude
you by any such specious and blind ar
gument, 1t is said by some that the
moneys now spent yearly on state
highways are largely thrown away be
cause when built most of the moneys
are used in repairing and upkccp there
