MORE MONEY FOR OIRT ROADS
With the Passage of Bonds the State
Can Be More Liberal to Aid
the Townships.
When the State is relieved of tho
expenditures now made for the
Sproul rends it will be in a po
sition to extend more liberal
aid to the townships in the
maintenance of the local roads. The
Junes law now in force provides that
the State shall pay to townships an
amount equal to 50 per cent of their
levy fur road taxes up to $25 per
mile, but the appropriation by the
last Legislature as cut down by the
Governor eituilH but $1.75 per mile
and mttkes of tills law a farce. With
the loan in force the Good Roods ad
vocates of tho State will at once turn
tlielr attention to securing from each
Legislature the full 50 per cent nr $25
per mile for townships. This will not
only have the effect of nt onre reduc
ing road taxes in every township In
tho State, but it will Insure to each
township Rood local roads leading to
the main State roads nnd In fact
everywhere throughout the township.
Ileal estate pays no Stato tux, so no
cost of the loan and no part of the
cost of these appropriations to town
ships will fall on the real estate
owner; but they will actually reduce
his road taxes, Increase tlio value of
Ills bind, make It easier to secure anil
keep competent help and make life
easier and happier for his wife, hi.
cliili'.'in and himself.
ADMINISTRATION OF HIGHWAY
FUND IN PEOPLE'S HANDS
The State Grang-o officials who op
pee the state loan for Rood roads
fer tho present administration fear
that a new administration will not
properly linntllp. the Highway Depart
ment. For years the Grange has been
a strong advocate for the initiative,
referendum und recall as the great
euro for all political evils. In as
much us the people next year elect
a new Governor who appoints a new
Highway Department, also a new
I rouse of Itepresentatives and half
tlio Senate, tho State Grange oHlcluls
must explain why they think the
voters of the Stato nro incompetent
to do tills. If they are not competent
now when does tlio Grango think
they will bo competent to exercise
the Initiative, referendum and recall?
CREASY ADVOCATED STATE
ROADS PLAN IN 1903
William T. Creasy In 190.1, In the
House of Representatives, favored a
system of roads connecting every
county sent in the State and said it
could be Pmilt for fifty million dol
lars. Today lie opposes the loan and
Hie very roads he asked for ten years
ago. Why? Somebody wants to be
GuviTH'ir and Is funning the farmer
to d ) it.
