Thy want th taxpayers of th county to to on aoendlng all th tax money la building th.m a macadam road and In maintaining It. Th.y hav a road th. trnfy good road la th county and they want no mors good roada built because It would not per sonally benefit them. Th.y hav no Interest la any part of th county ex cept that wherein th.lr lands ar lo cated and since th roada to be built by th bond do not criss-cross th wheat belt and give th.m perfect roada, they are making th mtsatat ment that th Bond mean Increased taxea and high coat of living, when In fact th Bond mean leas taxation and a lower cost of living because th roada will provide mor adequate and cheaper meana of transportation and communication to the entire county. They cry. "Protect th Widow's Mite." When before In their long fears of money-malting did these men ever conalder the widow and her mite? Hav th.y protected her mite and ac cumulated Individual fortunes at th earn time? Thla la th way th.y pro tect th widow' mile, by going around and asking the poor people to donate money to them to be used In putting on a campaign against the Bond Is sue, i Why don't they put up this money themselves? They hav plenty f It. In fact, the people, the dear oeoDl would Ilk to see nothing so much aa these men spending a few dimea of their many thousand dollar. In fact, they would Ilk an opportuni ty to get some- of thla money la cir culation. They also appeal to th laborer. What hav they ever done for th laborer? Th laborer I the bane of their existence. In fact, they ar continually endeavoring to ao perfect their operations that they ran do away with th laborer entirely. The Bond Issue meana that th laborer will get f 80. 004 6 of th issue, for that amount will be spent tor labor In the construction of these roads aad it will b local labor. t If these men 'are sincere In their protestation then we propose that they loan the county the money required to build good roads snd charge no In terest. They hav th money and more than enough, and they could af ford to do this without endangering th widow's mite In th. least. W appeal again to th common people of Cmatlllsv county to assert their Independence and say whether or not the few .selfish millionaires dlctste to them. (Adv.) .'oatlllav foantr Good floods Am'n.
