LOUISVILLE. KY. March 18th
Final plans are now being made for

Democrats from all parts Of Kentue-
Ky which will be held here on Thurs

Acceptances to the invitations are
literally pouring into the Committee

and indications point to the event as
one Of the most notable political
gatherings in the history Of the state.
A banquet will be given in the
evening Mt the Seelbach Hotel. which

State Central and State Executive
Committees. Democratic members Of
the General Assembly, Democratic

State. and n number Of others prom
inent in party councils.
The principal speaker at the ban
quet will be Mr.. Homer s. Cummings,
the Chairman Of the Democratic Ma

one Of the most forceful and graceful
speakers in public life today, and the
Committee on Arrangements are con-
graduating themselves on having Sc

ky affairs is to be Judge Alex p.
Humphrey. Of Louisville. whose pre-
eminent standing at the bar and
broad grasp Of public questions is

Committees. who has also taken an
active interest in the new party work.
No political meeting on such a com

thusiasm which is being shown in the
matter is taken as a splendid augury
for party success in the state this fall.

VOTE FOR THE
BOND ISSUE.

II you are not fully informed as to
the object Of the proposed issue Of
bonds for road purposes. IL is a duty
you owe TO yourself. and the welfare
Of your county to at once fully in
form yourself. and when you have
done this. we are satisfied that no in
telligent, thinking man who is inter
ested in having good roads. and who
has the welfare Of his county at heart.
and desires to keep well abreast Of
our sister counties in the matter Of
good roads. as well as all other mat
tiers. will fail to vote for the propos-
ed bond issue.
The fact that your road" will
not Immediately benefit by the bond
issue Is no argument against the
bond. for indirectly. every highway
in the county will benefit thereby.
not all Of them Immediately. as a mat
ter Of course. but eventually all will
be benefited.
The issuing Of bonds is for the pur-
pose Of securing Government and
State aid, which is now offered. and
to obtain which the issuance Of bonds
is absolutely necessary. The money
thus secured viii, Of course be for the
greater part expended on the main
thoroughfares traversing the county.
making them first class roads, guar
anteed for a considerable length Of
time. Thus you see there will be no
necessity for some years for the fur
Their expenditure Of road funds on
these pixies and therein lies the bene-
fits TO the other roads; the funds thus
saved will be expended on the roads
which did not receive the benefit Of
this outside aid. and the county will
eventually be enabled TO place every
turnpike within her borders in first
class condition.
This cannot be accomplished in a
day, Il viii take time. but have you
any other remedy TO suggest which
gives promise Of either quicker or
better resultsy Most assuredly you
have not. Then take the matter un.
der consideration. II you have been
skeptical. give il your honest consid-
GRAFTON from every angle. and after
you have done this. We feel certain
you will VOTE FOR THE BONDS.

A WORD FOR
ROAD BONDS.
LET US REASON TOGETHER
AND DO 1T FAIRLY.
To the Editor Of the Record.

To the Editor Of the Record:
WHAT DO WE GET IT. THE
BONDS FAIL TO CARRY on
MARCH 3Oth.
We get just what we have now.
Mud holes and roads almost impass-
able.
We get 20 pay our state road tax
about S6,500.OO annually and let
counties that vote bonds and accept
government aid use il for their bene-
fit.
We get to pay our automobile tax
on about 600 automobiles at sixty
cents per horsepower. making a
total Of about sl2. 100000. more. this
too to be used by the same counties
accepting state and government aid
and Garrard County furnishing the
above amounts at a total loss to IT.
self and to benefit the other counties.
WE get to keep up our roads our
selves by our own county road fund
which has proven to be inadequate
and insufficient in every respect.
since in the last ten years. the travel
and use Of same has doubled and
thribbled in that time and we will see
our roads 20 from bad to worse until
within the next few years we will
have impossible roads. in fact. no
roads at all on the present system.
WHAT DO WE LOSE If THE ROAD
BONDS FAIL TO CARRY MAR.
3Oth.
II we fail TO CARRY THE
BONDS and refuse to accept the
state and government aid we lose
$3.50. 100000 plus sls.500, making a
total Of s26s. 10000. and lose a road
as good as the Lincoln Highway.
IL it turns out as is believed and
fully expected and as IL will. no doubt
the State will take over the roads and
will pay the counties for them. We
would then receive our county bonds
amounting to Sl92. 10000 back. We
could then build many roads and re-
pair many many miles more with this
money.
WE CAN RIGHT NOW GET the
$3.50, 10000, this amount plus the
amount Of the bonds $780,, 100000
totals s442. 100000. This money
would be let on road contract by gov
eminent direction and the road con
tracted for would be built under
government inspection by blue prints
and surveys and would be received
by government inspection when COM
pleted.
We can rest assured that IL UNCLE
SAM spends his money to build roads
OF takes income tax reports. n fellow
has to have things mighty near right
IL he gets by.
Believing that I have fairly
represented the above subject and
having confidence in the citizenship
Of Garrard County. I feel confident
that any question left to them will be
rightly and honestly settled by the
voters Of the county.
Respectfully.

grossive thoughtful citizens to
get busy and inform their
neighbors and urge them tn
east their votes in favor Of this
Bond issue on March 80. II
would be a calamity upon our
community TO refuse this gift
by the State and Government
of so large a sum of money
when we so sorely need il TO
prepare these roads. II would
also be a reflection upon the in
telligence Of our County to re-
fuse an offer by the Federal
Government and the State TO
build for us twenty-five miles of
road at a cost Of nearly a half
million dollars without any
cost TO US when il is now nee
essary for us TO build this same
road at the County's expense,
which will corsume the annual
tax fund Of the County for the
next five years and leave little,
IL any. money for the lateral
roads of the County. Tn, only
hope for those using the lateral
or outside roads is TO accept
this offer and let this road be
built at the expense OF the Fed
eral Government and the State
and use the money heretofore
applied 10 these roads on other
roads. Our readers have OBJ
served from the good letters
that we nave received from
various tax payers from all
parts of the County that the in
terest of the large property
holders and heavy tax payers
are very much in favor Of the
bond issue. What reason can
the small tax payer give fer
it, The bond issue
would benefit those living on
the outside or lateral roads as
much as any other tax payers
because II is his only hope for
having better roads in the fu-
ture. Do not treat this I'M
PORTANT matter with indif-
ference. but inform yourself
upon the issue and take the in
terest that you should take.
Discuss IL with your neighbor
until the 30th Of March. and
have him there at the polls |
that day and II possible see
that he votes for the bond.
