poor way to get roads in Rock Is
land county. Our representative,
H. M. McCaskrin. is at Springfield
and has introduced . resolution
charging the state highway officials
with Partially In locating hard
roads. He also charges these ON
cials with, serious neglect Of duty.
We all know that other counties
in the state are getting hard roads
built and many counties have miles
Of these roads already built by the
state highway department; that
they have used money paid by the
taxpayers OF Rock Island county
to build these roads. Has the self
appointed guardian Of the board
OF supervisors ever Travelled around
the southern part Of the state? Has
he ever toured the counties around
Peoria? Did he ever ride on the
hard road constructed from Ottawa
east? There can be NO question
about Representative McCaskrin
being right in his charge of par
TALLY against these state highway
officials.
AS soon as it became known that
our representative was making
this fight for the people Of Rock
Island county land this includes
those who would rather that the
work was held up until the high
way officials will run the roads past
certain farms) the backbiters and
dog in the manger" element in
Rock Island county become busy.
There appeared in The Argus of
April z, the statement of a man.
which, il believed throughout this
district and at Springfield, will
greatly handicap any leader max
ing a fight, for good roads. There
is .little question that the author
OF the statement wanted to injure
Rock Island county when he made
the statements attributed to him
and the next time he comes up for
election the voters should elect a
man in his place who can work
with the state representative. rather
| than one who calmly folds his hands

HARDING AND COX BOTH
DOUBTED WISDOM OF BONUSES

Washington, Aug. 16-In connec
tion with the discussion regarding
p0stpOnement of action on the Sol
diers' Bonus Bill it is recalled thai
both candidates for President las
year went on record during the cam
patgn as regarding with doubt the
wisdom of voting cash bonuses tc
ex-service men. The Stars and
Stripes, weekly publication devoted
to the interests of ex-service men
carried interviews with both candi
dates upon the subject of cash bo
nuses-one with President Harding
under date of September 4, 1920, and
one with Hon. James M. Cox, under
date Of September IL, 1920. The
articles were handled by Joseph L.
Hofferman, of the Stars and Stripes
and both articles were widely re-
printed in the daily papers of the
above dates.
The following is al extract from
the article of September 4, 1920,
which gave the views of Candidate
Harding:
Senator Harding holds the great
American family. known as the gen.
eral public, must be kept in mind
and earnest thought given to any
plan for soldier legislation which
may tend to disturb the financial ma.
chinery by which that great family
transacts its every day business. In
cidentally, Candidate Harding re-
called that at presnent, there is a
floating Indebtedness of more than
$4,000, 100000 and emphasized in we'll
considered words the serious prob
lem of assimilating that debt. After
remarking that cash bonus would
cost perhaps $2,000,O00,00O Senator
Harding said: Now, with our pres
ent Liberty bonds below par what
would be the result if we proceeded
to issue more bonds? During the
war, of course, the people of the
country laid their all on the altar of
their country just as the soldiers laid
down their lives. Can we honestly
say that conditions are now the
same? If we did sell bonds to pay
the proposed bonus and, to meet
present conditions, offered a higher
rate OF interest than on our previous
Liberty bonds, what would be the
effect on those bonds outstanding p"
President Harding, occording to
this Interview, approved Of the pro-
visions for farm or home aid, land
settlement aid and vocational train
ing aid. Provided they could be put
into effect in practical way.
In the following weeks issue Of
the Stars and Stripes, Hon. James
M. Cox made public his opinion in
regard to the cash bonus. Like
President Harding, he. too. expressed
preferment for legislation which gave
the soldier land or homes instead Of
cash.
