The first event of tho day will be

This parade will begin at 9:30 o'clock

Since the question of bonding thin
county in the sum of JOOO.Oou to pro
vide fund with which to secure the
construction of hard surface roadways
on the main trunk roads of the county
leading from the market placei and
shipping points out Into and through
the populous country districts. I have
had many personal discussion with
.sincere, open-minded men as to tho
cost and value to the community of
such roadways and whether we would
he justified in bonding the county for
such purpose. Many frankly admitted
that, before going Into the matter suf
ficiently to understand It, they were
prejudiced against the movement and
opposed to the issuance of bonds, hut
after the pian had been made clear
they could see that only a erutt good
to the whole people would result. To
the many others who are still In doubt
or do not understand the great econ
omic benefits that will result, I wish
to address the following statements.

In the first place the bond act pro
vides how and where the money raised
under It shall be spent. This must be
clear to all now since the county has,
in carrying out the wishes of the pe
titioners, mostly from the courtry dis
tricts, to place this bond measure be
fore the people at the election to be
held on the loth day of this month and
in compliance with the law, st'ected
the roads to be Improved in a perma

clared the minimum amount of nunty
to be spent on each road so Srleoted.
Only permanent roads can be huilt

The heavy cost of baa roads falls on
the entire population of the community
served and affected by such roads, but
this heavy cost falls In a greater de
gree on the farmers who are the prin
cipal haulers of produce over these bad
roads.
The average cost of hauling, by horse
drawn wagons, a ton of freight or prod
uce a distance of one mile in tnese
Vnited States over our roads of all
kinds Is 23 cents, in this state it is
considerably more, while in Europe
over high grade roads the cost is but
7,,cents. The average cost In this
country of hauling a ton one mile over
our hard surfaced roads is but 8 cents.
The difference or saving in hauling
cost alone is great and will savo to
the farmers, stage lines, rural mail car
riers and others having to haul over
the countrv roads many thousands of
dollars each year In excess of the cost
of these hard surfaced roads if the peo
ple are wise and fully alive to their
own best interests by voting for the
bond issue and constructing hard sur
face main trunk roads where designat- ,
ed by the county court. This saving
In hauling over hard surfaced country
highways as compared with that over
present average roads has caused one
prominent paper in an adjoining coun
ty which first opposed the permanent
road plan before it found out by Its
own investigations of the great econ
omic gains to be made by the con
struction of such roads through the
country to exclaim: "Were all the
bad roads to be made into good, hard,
level roads, the annual saving In hau1
Ing over the country highways of the
United States would aggregate the
mighty sum of $7,!i00.000,000." This
one Item of annual loss to the Ameri
can people would build fifteen Panama
canals..
"It all the highways were Improved
this seven and a half billions of dol
lars would go to those who do the
country hauling, chiefly farmers, who
in turn would share the benefits of
these billions with the city and town
people who form the market for the
country hauled freight. It would cut
down the cost of living but cutting
down the big margin existing between
retail prices in the city and cost of
production in the country. It would
put these billions every year Into the
pockets of the American people."
In addition to the -great saving In the
cost of "hauling over theso roads as
above set forth is the further advant
age, to the farming communities at
least, of the better social and sanitary
conditions .they will bring about as
well as the better facilities they will
afford to the children to get to and
from the district school, especially dur
ing the winter or rainy season.
I have said that good permanent
roads bring the farms nearer the mar
ket and enhances its value on that ac
count. This is a fact and a very sub
stantial benefit will accrue to the hold
er of every acre of land In this county
served by such roads and are In addi
tion to the benefits already enumerat
ed and set forth. For example, In
Vanderburg, county, Indiana, the town
ships that have built hard surfaced
brick roads have found that farm lands
have Increased in value, due solely to
such cause, on an average of $15.0(1
per acre, while In other sections
where they have adhered to the ilrt
roads the lands have decreased $15 09
and more fer acre.
The program for the Rose Festival,
rtooster Day and Stock Show began
to take definite shape at a Joint meet
ing of the committees from the Com
mercinl club nnd Rose society Wednes
day night. The premium list for the
stock show and the floats in the after
noon parade was completed aud ap
proved, arrangements were made to
elect the rose queen and other details
of the day completed.
A motorboat race In which two
handsome cups will be the awards, will
be one of the new events introduced
May 23. One cup will be given for
the winner in the 16-foot class and one
for the free-for-all. Charles Spencer,
of Canemah, was appointed command
er of all the water events. The course,
appointment of Judges, and arrange
ments for the day will probably be in
the hands of Mr. Spencer.
An address by Mayor Jones at 10
o'clock In the morning In front of the
court house will open the official pro
gram of the day. On behalf of the
city he will welcome the visitors from
out of the town. Two bands wi'' play
before and after the opening addresses.
Shortly after the short program in
front of the court house is completed,
the stock parade will begin.
The big parade of the day will be
held In the afternoon, beginning at
1:7.0 o clock. Dr. A. I.. Peatle was
elected grand marshall of this event
and with his aides will have complete
charge of it. Prizes will be awarded
to the best decorated automobile, the
best grange float, the best lodge float,
the lodge with the greatest number In
line, the best commercial float, best
