Some of our wise statesmen be lieve it would be a good plan tu bond the county for a million dol lars and build hard surface roads so automobiles can travel, and let future generations pay for it This is not a square deal to saddle an immense debt on the incoming gen erations who have no voice in creat irg the debt. This seems to be ex tremely selfish to put a debt on a people who can't help themselves. Some of the best and most prosDcr ous towns in the state keep out of debt and only make improvements as they can pay for them. This is wise.

Elk City and BiglElk The following good roads maxims have been prepared by an official of the organization which is promoting a highway across the continent to bs known as the Ocean to Ocean road: If you want to know if good roads are a good thing ask a horse. Good roads promote Prosperity, bad roads promote profanty. If roads around a town are bad, it might as well be on an island In considering road, remember that here are few towns that looks good to the farmer that he will kill his horse to get there. " Was it in your township that the ignoramus pulled the sod into the middle of the road? Improved roads are a good trade .mark for any community. Good roads will increase health, happiness, education, religion and morality. Good ruac's will decrease profanty. discoragement, back taxes, sheriff's salts, sour grapes and grouches. Good reads invoke a blessing upon any people who build them. Good roads will keep people in the country and will bring city peoDle to tne fresh air.
