Failure of Voters To
Pass Increased Bond
Bill to Cripple Work

Accused Of Death
Of Two Are Heard
' Failure of the voters of the state to
approve, the measure providing an In
crease from two to four per cent in the
state indebtedness for road purposes,
will serious handicap the state high
way program, accordingto the legisla
tive committee named to prepare an
argument in favor of the measure for
publication In the official voters' pam
phlet.. The argument which la pre
pared by Senators B. L. Eddy and
Xuls Lachmund and Representatives
W. H. Gore, 1 M. Graham and Jos.
S. Stewart reads as follows:
; "As the constitution now reads,
bonds of the state may be issued for
the purpose of building and maintain
ing permanent roads, not exceeding
two per cent of the assessed valua
tion of all property of the state. If
the people adopt the amendment now
proposed, the limitation will be fixed
at four per cent of the assessed valua
tion of all the property of the state.
Under the constitution as It now
stands, and under the present assessed
valuo of the property of the state the
limit for bonds for road purposes is a
little less than twenty million dollars.

can be provided from year to year so
that the state aid can be extended to

period embraced by the ensuing three
or four years.
No Tax on Property.
"I can readily be soon that no direct
property tax whatsoever will be neces
sary to meet any of tho Indebtedness
proposed to be Incurred by authority
of this amendment. The plan is to con
tlnue building the slut highways as
wo are now doing, by requiring the
motor vehicles to pay the bills. Be
sides paying interest and principal of
the entire debt that can-be created un
der the amendment, there will be from
year to year a large cash surplus to
apply, on road building and mainten
ance.

greater than these figures show.

1820) recently authorized by the spe

The Spring Stetson and
Spring Mallory Hats.
To our regular customers we need say nothing more. But if you have
never been present at a Season's Opening of Stetson and Mallory Hats
please consider this your invitation.
There are two reasons ivhy two out of three men come to us for their
hats. "
One is that we have the best choice of Stetson and Mallory in this
community. Soft Hats and Derbies.
The other is the taste which would almost make us lose a sale rather
than have a man go out with a hat that does not suit him just to the dot.
BE ON HAND TOMORROW FOR OUR OPENING OF SPRING
HATS.
You do not take a chance to lose if you purchase here.
