Voters of Rock Island county dis
played a great broad streak of com
munity pride yesterday when they
authorized the issuing of $1,000,000
bonds fcr hard roads in the county.
That pride is unconquerable. It
has never failed to manifest itself
in support of any meritorious prop
osition when the issue was prop
erly presented. William E. White
side, the indefatigable president
of the Rock Island County Good
Roads association, laid his cards
on the table. No individual or set
of individuals was inflated by the
association with extravagant prom
ises; the good roads program was
presented as a proposition for the
good or the entire community. And
the broad way in which it was pre
sented won the day. The taxpayers
were told that it would cost them
money, yet that did not stifle that
old pride.
The bond issue carried by a mar-
candidates for probate judge and probate j gln of approximately 2.000. This
count may be cut down or mere

CHESTER OL13E.
These four Republican candidates are ewaiting official canvass be
fore accepting congratulations or condolences of their supporters. Un
official newspaper returns this noan gave Miller a 10-vote lead over
OT.ne for county treasurer and Truxeil appears to lead Richmond by
38 votes. ' .
ed after the official canvass, nm
it is safe to say that it has carried
by a comfortable margin.
The money raised by the sale c
bonds will pay for 77 miles of hard
roads in the county. About thirty
five miles will be constructed in
the upper end of the county and
about forty-two in the lower end.
Begin June 1.
Mr. Whiteside announced this
morning that he thought it wculd
je possible to dispose of the pre
iminaries in time to begin work
.n the grading by June 1. By next . HamDton. 7

the county and connect with ar'er- so. Rock Island,
ies of traffic to the shipping points . g0. Rock Island,
and cities.
There will be no difficulty in dis
posing of the bonds, according to
Mr. Whiteside. Paper of this char
acter always finds a ready market.
Employ Local Men.
Perhaps the most gratifying fea
ture of the splendid victory is that
the road construction will give em
ployment to many men of the coun
ty. Approximately $800,000 will be
expended for labor, and only local
men will be hired for the work.
Scores of men will probably be
making the dirt fly by June 1.
The voting of the bond issue will
cause to be added to taxes of dtod-
erty owners the sum of 20 cents on !
each $100 assessed valuation in the
city. It will add about 6 2-3 cents
an acre to the taxes of the farmer.
In only one district in the county
, did the bond issue fail to get the
' proper support, and that was in the
j lower end of the county. Returns
I from this territory were among the
last to come m, yet there was never
any coubt as to the issue being
carried after the first few returns
from the city precincts were re
ceived. Community pride was the biggest
factor in putting the proposition
across. No individual or set of in
dividuals will benefit directly by
the road improvement, but will
j work to the prosperity of the en
(tire community, accordine to one
citizen.
The proposition was given the
biggest boost in Coal Valley, due
perhaps to the activities of local
union 362, United Mine Workers of
America, through Rudolph Krapp,
