Senator Sherard
Editor The Intelligencer:
In some sections of the county, so'
I am rcllebiy informed, the statement
is being circulated that I, as State
senator, favored ihe Issuance of bonds
for permanent road improvements
.without submitltng the question to r
vote of the people. How such ? state
ment originated I cannot understand, I
unless it sprang from ignorance of the
facts or was conceived in a desire
to injure me. It is utterly without
foundation and absurd on its very
face.
The bond issue first came up for
discussion at a joint meeting of the
Anderson .delegation and a number of
citizens of the county held in the State
house at Columbia, on Friday, Feb
ruary 12th, just six legislative days
before the close of the session of the
general assembly. As chairman of the
delegation, when the meeting was
called to order and before an opir
was expressed by any one, * I t '
for myself that I would kill in the sc:
ate any sort of bond bill unless the |
people were given the right to vote on
it. With me this condition was abso
lute. This was readily agreed to by
all the delegation as well as by those J
who came before us in the name of
citizens of the country who advocated j
a bond issue. The bill was then intro
duced concurrently in both houses.
During the campaign last summer
one of the Important issues I discuss
ed and advocated was the initiative
and referendum* an instrument of;
government thafi. brings to the people
themselves tho direct . and supreme
power of self rule, and it would have
s* been at utter variance with every
theory of democratic "government 1
hold and with every consideration of
justice to have thought for a moment
of denying to the people a righythat
belongs to them and not to their rep
resentatives. There seem to be no le
* gal obstacles in the way of a county
bond issue without a vote of the peo
ple, it is true, but I consider such ac
tion a gross and wanton abuse of pow

March i?, 1915.
Anderson's first music festival and
indoor chautauqua will be held Wed
ne8H. / Thursday and Friday of this

entertainments are assured of being
entertained in a delightful and profit
able manner.
One of the greatest attractions of
the festival will be William Sterling
Battis, who is known far and near as
the Dickens man. Mr.. Battis' read
ings from Dickens are masterful, and
those who have heard him declare
that he is probably the greatest read
er of Dickens in the world today. A
card received yesterday from Mr.
Dattls stated tnst He.would arrive in
Anderson about noon' Wednesday.
Another splendid feature of the fes
tival will be the rendition of ''Peg
O' My Heart" by Miss Gay Zenola
Mac Lauren, on Thursday evening. For
this one number reserved seats may
be had, but during all the rest'of the
festival persons holding reserved
seats may will sit anywhere in the
house they choose. Persons holding
season tickets may present them at
thei box office at The Anderson
thr?atre, where the festival will be
held, anytime after 10 o'clock Wed
nesday morning and have seats re
served for "Peg p'. .My Heart."
The program for hte festival is as
! follows:
Lecture by Mrs. Varney, "The Sil
ent Partner."
Wednesday evening?Mr. Sterling
Battis, "The Dickens Man."
March 18th?Afternoon, Prelude

A number of newspapers have of- j
I fered tbis contribution?nulliorshlp
! unknown?to the fund of fiood roads j
j literature: ' j
"When Caesar took an eastward '
ride and grabbed the Gauls for Koine. I
I what was the first tains that he did j
jto make them feel at home? Did tie,'
I increase the people's h??Uj ami liber-:
|ty forbid? No, he dug it and build I
,*;ood roads?that's what old Ca?sur
[did. . !
"Did Caesar put the iron heel up
on the foenmn's' breast, or did he J
try to make them feel the Kornau j
Kule was best? What did he do to
make them glad he'd come their
midst amid? He built good roads in J
place of bad?that's what old Caesar j
did.
"He built good road., front hill to J
hill, good roads from vale to vole;
he ran a good' roads movement tlii
old Koine got all the Kale. He to'1 the
folks to buy u home. built
roads their hills amid,- until all roads
led right to Rome?that's what old
Caesar did.
"If any town would make the Town
the center of the map, where folks
will come and settle down and live
in plenty's lap?if any town its own
abode of poverty would rid, let it get
out and build good roads?just like
old Caesar did."
What Caesar of old did could be
emulated by the rulers of our own
day and time. His example has been
scrupulously followed In European
countries and many of our own
'States have "seen the light" and are
making rapid forward strides. The
rules of good roads for a city Ib
equally and even more forcefully ap
j pllcable to a State and nation. Our
federal government is experimenting
>vith national aid to P^st roads and,
no doubt, will coon launch into this
great work of internal improvement
ou a scale as confp'rehensive as that
of rivers and harbors improvement.
' Effect of Easy Communication.
The;social, moral, economic, com
mercial, industrial, material, educa
tional and personal benefits in the
progress and uplift of Texas and
Texas people, that would accroe from
easy and . free intor-communication
and transit over permanently high
ways from the great rural productivo
arean of Texas to the market c-jntcrs
/ins been for years one of great in
terest to me and in campaign for
minor bond issues in several Texas
counties I have freely lent my voice
in advocacy of the principle and
practice ofl ^building good* market
roads at district county, State and
national expense.
During thc last year it has been -
my privilege to travel over some of
-he improved highways of Kansas,
Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, New
York, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Connecticut! Missouri
and. Maryland, and from train win
dows to observe roads-in Oklahoma,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and
other States. I have pretty well
traveled in papt years, over Texas
and have been quite familiar with
Texns road laws aha, conditions.
Inquiries Made of other States.
In riding over roads In some other :
States I madc mental comparison of j
the roads in our own State and der
termlned for my own information and '
satisfaction, to' make some investi
gation of the various State laws and <
procedure to ascertain, if possible,
wherein our improved ,-oads were <>6 ]
inferior In number and construction.
With this end in view, some, two ;
months ago I directed a lettor to the
governor of each State In the Union, "]
making, substantially the following :
Inquiries; t
1. Docs your State, from State i
funds only, construct permanent ]
highways or lend State aid In tho im- <
provement of public roads? I
2. If so, how ' do you finance ]
same?
3. Prescht milcagj and amount j
expended? . - ; . 1
4. Materials used, which" found t
most satisfactory In your State, and i
averago construction cost per mile? )
5. Wba# does it cost and what
revenues are used to maintain them? l
6. Average width' of Improved *
road surfaces? i
7. Have., you a highway depart
ment or commission, and the mun- 1
her or administrative officials? \
. 8. Does tie department have au- I
thorIty, supervislou and control over I
all public roads?
0. Have you a license tax on vo- l
Meies? T
10. How is commission or depart- v
ment maintained? ? 1
. Nearly : all have courteously re- i
plied, furnishing reports and other ?
valuable Information, which Is the i
source of the data which I shall here- !
after give relative to. the various
: ' ' ' ' '
Department
Stairs. Prom this information it niav
be observed that our own great com
monwealth is among only about eight
States out of forty-eight without a
centralized highway department or
commission.
('cntraUml Centrai K.sscnUal.
It further discloses the prepon
derant weight of opinion und exp?r
ience to he iii.it juih centralized cdn
t:ol seems to he absolutely essential
in obtaining uiiicic icj anil uconomy
in road construction and main
tenance, and !::: .: the principle of
national or K:;;l<- aid a:d tontrol 13
firmly tetublisheJ and woll fixed. 1
have been iaorsuahl' conrinccd that
ihc responsibility fur loatl construc
tion and ina!nt?aa:u:e ja Texas
should, i i part, be taken over by the
Stale under un aduiinislrutivc r.om
nii3?ion or .r... pa, tr.ic:.: head, where
responsibility can be wall defined and
readily piacsd.
I bt-llcvc such a department of our
gover:::::ct :. chnuld, fron top to base,
be a I a :;:t. businesslike or
gan iz. .'.:-.< l-iat would not only see
that til read improvement In- Texas
should be scientifically, capably aad
honestly done, but that, by a general
plan, the isolated spasmodic, in
cohesive work done by municipalities,
districts and counties might be done
under the supervision of one central
authority, in a practical, economical
manner with a well defined scheme
of ultimately merging these highways
into a closely-woven and continuous
system of cardinal, trunk line and
market highways.
The service of providing and main
taining passable roads?the arteries
of commerce, industry, agriculture
and trade?becomes yearly more and
more important public functions.
Therefore every reasonable effect
should be made by our law-making
body, to provide funds, by appropria
tion or otherwise, that the tremen
dous hindrances to the internal and
economic development of Texas may
bo overcome and removed. Methods
should be carefully, earnestly and
patriotically plunned, adopted and
put into early execution, whereby the
greatest good may be extended to the
greatest number of people.
The value of good roads can scarce
ly be overestimated. Their value In
dollars and cents* can not be ade
iuately expressed. No nation, St
county, city, town, community or in
dividual farm can attain its full ; hare
of prosperity Until its market high
ways aro Burfacea or so graded and
drained as to make available the
easy passage of vehicles. Steam and
electric power for tran3portation of
the products of the territory can not
be utilized to full advantage' unless
the roads leading to the principal
marketihg and shipping point are
passable, and the more easy the
travel, the greater the efficiency of
the means of transportation and the
more prosperous the people.
I should like to quote George
Pitch's tribute (?) to "Mud:"
"Mud Is earth which has been put
in soak by nature.
"Mud Is the most valuable thing in
Ihe world. After earth hap been mud
for awhile it produces crops, without
which mankind would curl up and die
like a baby sparrow on a hot door
step. ^
"However, since mud docs not raise
crops on the country roads, he has
no particular use ' for mud In that
particular spot.
"All over the central part of this
nation the country roads are paved
with mud. Mud makes the worst
uavemcnt in tho world. A five-mile
mud pavement in March "is as effec
tive -as a two-inch oak Jail door for
keeping a farmer at home. There arc
hundred of millions ot bushels of
rrain on the farms of America In
the early spring, but tbey do not
bave much. effect upon the cost of
living, because they are separated
from the market by several miles of
roads which clasp the farm/wagons
to their bosom with a glad gurgle and
refuse to release- them until . three
teams are hitched on..
"Whorevor mud ia used for making
roads the farmer, sells his grain
when the roads ar0 firmest instead
)f when the market 1b firmest.
"American^.mud is extremely use
less on tho country roads. It Is ovon
more, useless on the city atrcctp. It
Is hard to work up a worry ov.tr the
Tact that, tho American business does
not worship old masters and broken
?osed statuary, nut it ia easy to be
come dlstreoped over, the .nesthetlc
:asto or a man who will',-wad 3 down
town anklcdeep in last winter^s mud
all spring without calling around at
the city hall with n ropo and pleading
to bo allowed to hang the administra
tion. - >' '
? The efficiency of American city
government can be measured In some
ways by the amount of mud on the
American oily street."
