TIL. FIFTY MILLIONS BOND ISSUE FOR
R0ADS.

=
Those who who favor the pro-
posed amendment 10 allow the
State to issue fifty millions in bonds
for road Improvement in the State
are conducting a vigorous CAM
paign.
The opposition to the PROPOSE
tion under the leadership of EN-
Governor w. A. McCorkle, are
makink Il fight to defeat the amend
ment. Here are some of the points
Governor MacCorkle makes in op-
position to the proposed amend
mcnt. ~
The proponents of this measure
say they will pay the interest of
the bonds by license tax on auto
mobiles. The very mention of that
proposition shows how loosely
drawn is this important amendment
The very provision of the ,consti-
tuition itself expressly, provides to
the contrary and expressly says:
when bond issue as afore-
said is authorized the Legislature
shall at the same time provide for
the collection of an annual State
lax sufficient to pay annually the
interest on such debt and tile prin-
cipa thereof within and NOT ex-
ceeding 80 days"
Here you have absolute direc-
tions of the constitutional amend
ment itself saying that interest and
payment of the principal shall be
an annual State Tax which is q
direct levy\in the meaning of every
book and of the common construc-
ton of the statutes of taxation of
the State. You could not pay this
DN anything except direct State
tax.
Here is another proposition which
shows how lightly the opponents
OF this amendment view their
statements. 1T is well known thai
counties which have built their
own roads by bonding themselves
and are carrying the bonds will
not care to vote for an amendment
which not only compels %them to
carry their own. bonds but to build
roads for other counties. There
Tore they say that the Legislature
at their suggestion will refund The
debts OF these counties and paw
back to them the money they have
-expended.<in road building, so az
TO equalize the bonds.
1t is sheer, nonsense for, anv
one TO argue that this statement
will be enough TO enable counties
to pay for roads that have already
been built. This issue is for the
purpose of building, constructing
and maintaining roads. and NOT for
the purpose Of payment for roads
already built.
This proposition means that
everything education, county. f.
nance, humane Institutions, district
administration and schools must
be sacrificed for roads. This sac !
GIice is not necessary because wek
are going along very well A,wiRlr
roads and in ten years time pGac-
Healiy all of these roads Will be
COMPLETED and no harm done to
the ether departments of tho. State
and no burden left for oup chill
dren.
! wish TO emphasize the fact that
if a man owns II houses il will
take one to pas fhis bond issue. If,
he owns II aEfes of land he will
have to- sell ONE TO pay his taxes: in
other Words, it will take III OF
the property of The State for taxes if
this proposed good road amendment
is passed.
