Money spent for the permanent im

public could possibly spend. A tag
for the permanent Improvement of
the public roads differs rr?m other
tax in that the other tax Is levied for
current expenses and ha? to be levied
from year to year.and ls gone. The'
tax paid for permanent road work'
ls an investment that will pay dlvl-'

Kvery county tn Sont h Carolina
wrtte? enough money every ten years
to build permanent roads in the coun
ty and at the end ot the ten year
period the roads are no better iban
they were ten years before. In this
day tb. county that does not build
roads ls going to fall behind in the
constructive advancement of the age.
To levy.a sufficient tax in one year to
build roads would be burdensome.
The only sensible pisa is to issue
bonds and build the roads and thus
spread the payment of the bonds over
a number of years and the burden
falls lightly on all. There are' those
who will put up the plea that they do
net want to saddle a debt on their?
children.
There is co better O? greater legacy
you could leave your children than ?
debt for money'honestly and properly

'.building .of good roads'and if you
leave them the roads they will rise up
and bless your name and the windora
you displayed. *>
There Is ?et a man In any county
in this Stat? who today would not
willingly pay a tux for roads lt a
former generation had left him the
roads.
I believe If you demonstrate, that Is
as far as human agency can demon
strate, that If the money ls put up <
the roads will be built, every man tn
every county In Sooth Carolins would
vote to Issn? bonds for permanent
road work.

Hon ot Toting a tax for school im
provement in a certain district The
presiding offcer who had no children
to educate and who was the largest
tax payer asked the privilege of castl
ing th? first ballot for. the tax. The
man who most vigorously opposed th*
tax had ?Ix children to educate and
hts tsx would have bees forty cents.
s8o it I? with roads, unfortunately.
ao lt is with roads, unfortunately.
?.-ho pay the greatest amount of the
tax and receive th? least direct bene
fit always favor such Improvements,
whl*e th? fellow who pays practical
ly feo tax and uses the roads every
day ls loudest In hts qnposition. It
ls lessing strange. The thing io do
Is to show him it ls to his interest
aar*, get bis rot? right It Is to his
Interest to build road?.
I remember once where a township
proposed to vote bonds for roads and
BO rue of the citizens opposed lt on tow
saltish ground that they did no; pro
pose to build good roads for the peo
ple ot soother township to drive over.
lt ls th? setos* eli?ent* to be rid oL.
Prom a tel fi tm standpoint, therefor*. ;
I argue that lt lp good bjf Invest money
in permanent road work.
Any maa la Anderson County, for
instance, would be willing to pay four
doliera a y ?ar to* a good road frost
his hom? to town. The average farm
er wtll not hare to pay OT?r that
?mount If tho hoads are ttsutd. Thea
why oppos? it. Prom a selfish stand
point if will pay yon. Prom a patrio
tic standpoint lt will pay yoi tenfold.
I hop? yea may gel your bond is
sn? through ta anderson County and
that your county may remain in the
forefront ot progress. " To defeat the
proposed ?essor* would put yon back
