GOOD ROADS TO
ADD 10 PER CENT
TO LAND VALUE.
having on transportation Of Five
Bushels Of Potatoes Equals In
creased Tax, Says Burgess.
BIZ ]. J. BURGESS.

BIZ j. j. BUR6ESS.
Every voter who does not go TO
the polls April II and vote for the
bond issue to provide Rock Island
county with good roads, is missing
the opportunity of increasing the
value of all real estate In the coun-
" about 10 per cent. The value OF
farm land will have greater in
crease in value, as good roads will
aid the farmers materially in reach
ing markets and shipping points
any time during the year when
products are ready.
The additional tax on 100 acres
Of land will be made up In the dif-
ference on transportation cost or
five acres of corn. The same ap-
plies il you feed corn TO produce
pork and beef
On the other hand. the saving on
the transportation cost of five BUSH
els of potatoes to the city dweller
will pay the additional tax on his
house and lot, and everything else
that he consumes that comes di-
rectly from the land is clear gain,
not taking into consideration the
freshness OF the products and ad-
ditional service that will be rem
dered to the city dweller.
Another reason that you should
vote Eyes" on the road bonds is
because garden lots and small
truck farms that used to supply
you have nearly all been used to
build homes on, and have become
part of your city, and if you do
not make it possible for the gar
dener and fruit farmer to get his
products to you. he will not at
tempt to go further out, and it will
mean that you will have 20 pay
fancy prices for shipped products.
Tske prices of vegetables and fruit
today against that OF our home
grown strawberries and lettuce, for
instance-S1 box and 40 cents a
pound for shipped products.
Another reason why you should
vote for the bond issue is the pres
ent economic condition and lack OF
work. which is more serious
problem in this county than any
other place in the United States.
It would be materially lessened by
the expenditure of a million dollars
on roads in this county, of which
more than 90 per cent would re-
main right here in the county. as
adj materials and equipment to i'm
prove the roads, with the exception
CT cement. are right here in the
county. and it is part of the agree
ment with the state highway COM
mission that this will be done.
Money Spent Here.
The small amount of cement that
will he used is only a fraction of
the total expenditure. as it is used
only for constructing culverts. etc,
with the exception of q small
stretch of cement road.
Expenditure of the money under
this plan will mean that each dol
lar will be used over several times
and in the end 80 per cent of it will
remain right here in the county.
And we will also have the roads.

Sc LINCOLN
Photographs Reveal Much Of
Rugged Pers onality.
Present Generation Need Not, az In
the Case Of Washington, Look
for Character in Portraits.

Abraham Lincoln remains, and will
remain, one of the most important
possessions of the common people
everywhere, partly because his rugged
personality is so difficult for either
writer's or sculptors to standardize
Fortunate it is for us that he lived
in an age Of Observation-Disclosures
no sensitized plate can reveal the
entire mystery, the camera does not
lie. We are not compelled to foun-
der hopelessly, comparing different
portraits by different painters, as all
must who make the vain endeavor to
get before the eyes Of their minds
what George Washington was like.
The Lincoln who looks out from
the pictures that have come down to
US was caught in moments for which
no solicitous friends had the oppor-
tunity to see that his clothes were
pressed or that every stray lock of
hair was. plastered down. And 50
in his likeness we get something which
has the virtue of being really ''like.'
In the National capital there is a
