If these particular roads are not built by bond issue money,
at least seven years of time will elapse before annual market
road appropriations can build them. In the menatime scores
of other small stretches of road much needed, must wait from
seven to fifteen years more.
On the other hand, if the proposed bonds carry, market
road funds in the amount of $00,000 annually, will be available
to build additional feeders throughout the county beginning
now, and not seven years from now. In other words, the above
plan will speed up the building of really essential roads about
15 years.
HELP THOSE WHO HELPED YOU
You who have roads in front of your doors, partly paid
for by those wanting roads now can you deny your mud-fenced
neighbor his rights for a period of 15 years and not be selfish'
These proposed roads will give an outlet and direct con
nection with improved arteries to hundreds of farmers who
are now mud-bound throughout the winter months.
AYHAT IT WILL COST YOU
This bond issue means an increased tax cost, but the amount
is small and the gain is great.
Read this Tab!e. It tells the story. Note that the average
tax cost is but 19c per $100.

Every chamber of commerce in the county is actively promoting the dairy in
dustry as a solution of the farm problem in Union county. Dairy products bring
in weekly cash to the farmer and it is a well known fact that dairy centers are
prosperous. But, dairy centers must have roads to markets that can be used
every day. If you want to help the dairy industry, vote for the bond issue.
oads Are Investments!
When you vote for the Road Bonds you vote for Community Improvement
and Advancement. A Community grows and expands as its means of transporta
tion improves. Our road system has proven a good investment. Let us invest in
more roads. The proposed program w ill serve additional communities. These
communities voted for the present bonds. Let us be fair and vote for theirs.
Think this over and vote for the bonds,
investment and not as an expense.

You want the farmer to patronize you. How can he w hen he is fenced in by
impassable roads for months at a time but he can order his needs from cata
logue houses who will see to it that Uncle Sam brings the goods to his door.
Why not let the farmer have his natural way do what he would do if he
could buy from the country merchants the year around.
