Every candi- date for the legislature will be asked whether or not he favors such a law, 80 that the voters will know In ad- vance exactly where he stands. The association holds that $5,000,000 a year, in addition to such sums as are set aside from current revenues for the uses of «he highway department, will constitute as much money as will be necessary to carry out a systematic, economic and practical campaign for first class road construction. The association sets forth its posi- tion on the road loan and the proposed legislation in the following address to the people of the state: To the People of Pennsylvania— The Pennsylvania Good Roads Asso- ciation commends to the favorable con- sideration of the voters the proposed ammendment to the constitution to per- mit the state to issue bonds not ex- ceeding $50,000,000 for the construc- tion of highways. This amendment has been adopted by two legislatures and now requires only the approval of a majority at the polls in the November election of 1913. Issuance of bonds is an approved method of financing large enterprises, both public and private. The consti- tution of Pennsylvania grants to all municipalities the right to bond them- selves for such purposes. Cities and towns generally avail themselves of this efficient and economic method of providing funds for public works. The proposed amendment would extend a like privilege to the state itself in a limited degree and for a specific pur- pose. The need is imperative. Enlightened public sentiment demands good roads. Pennsylvania is far behind many of her sister states in meeting this de- mand. Repeated experience has shown that legislatures cannot be depended on to resist the demands for appro- priations for public and private char- ities to such an extent as to permit of adequate support for road building out of the general revenues. A bond issue offers the only alternative. The state is out of debt. It can borrow an abun- dance of money at low interest. Re- payment of the loan through the ac- cumulation of a sinking fund and its interest earnings during a long period of years will impose no serious bur- den on the revenues. Farms and other real estate will not be called upon to pay a dollar of this, because there is and can be no state tax on real estate in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Good Roads As- sociation is in favor not only of the bond issue, but of a conservative and well-ordered method of issuing these bonds and expending the proceeds thereof. Should the bond issue be ap- proved by the voters in November, no money would be available until the legislature had passed and the gov- ernor approved an enabling act to car- ry the constitutional amendment into effect. The legislature and the gover- nor upon whom this duty would de- volve are to be nominated at the popu- lar primaries next spring and elected the following November. The people will be in a position to demand of all candidates assurance of how they will deal with the expenditure of the road funds. This association will urge upon ali candidates and upon the incoming state administration and legislature taking office in January, 1915, the pas- sage of an enabling act that will pro- vide for the issuing of the bonds in amounts not to exceed $5,000,000 a year, so as to produce only so much money as may be necessary in addi- tion to appropriations from the cur rent revenues to carry out a syste- matic, economical and practical cam- aign of first class highway construec- on. The best efforts of an association of representative citizens of all shades of political belief and all walks of life arg pledged to this end.

As the work of road improvement goes forward material needed wil e taken from adjacent lands and quar- ries, for which fair compensation wil be made, teams will be needed in grad- ing and in hauling material from quar- ries and raiiroad stations to the poin's where used, and laborers and mechan- ics will be employed in the construec- tion work, so that farmers wi.l find profitable work for ther teams when not needed on the farm, labor of all kinds will be in demand at gnod wages promptly paid, and a ready ma kot will be brought to the doors of the people cf the sections through which the roads pass for food supplies for men and teams, all o. which means that a lar e proportion of the money expended will go directly into the hands of the p:o- ple of the rural districts of the state 5.
