THE CANDIDATES AND THE
BOND ISSUE.

AS stated in last issue of this pa
per nothing is definitely known as
to how the candidates for the cap
itol Offices stand on the question
Both Mr.. Trinkle and Mr.. Tucker
are said to "lean" to opposition ia
the issue of bonds by the State. Per-
haps the candidates are watching how
the cat will jump. 1t seems fact
now, that the candidates favoring
bonding the state for millions OF
dollars at this time to build roads or
for any other purpose, rs to that,
will lose the majority of the votes
at the August primaries.
So it appears from our perch in
the watch tower. There is too much
expensive machinery connected with
the road building business. Public
sentiment is in favor of reducing
taxation rather than increasing, and
in the reduction of operating ex-
ppenses. Perhaps later the candi.
dates will speak out on the road
building question. Everybody wants
good roads of course, but not Mt the
expense of Impoverished Of the
tax payers.
