It Is i Important to Everyone.
The Newton county grand jury took an advanced positidfi
last week when it recommended a bond issue lor the purpose
©f making good roads throughout the county.
Thinking men now meet on common ground on the good
road question and they agree that good roads mean more to a
county than anyone thing, Along with good roads will come
other improvements and increased values.
Money invested in hard surface roads by the farm means
lhat the farm has increased in value because its earning capa¬
city has been increased.
Farm stock is also increased in value because good roads
add to their working capacity. These are some of the very
strongest reasons for the improvement of all public highways.
The refore it is a matter for congratulation that a body
anen, representing the intelligence o f the county as did the
recent grand jury, should go on record as favoring a bond is¬
sue for such va.mble pub ic improvments. The Enterprise
hopes to see the iec mmendations carried out as early as pos
sible.
But in th m a itime it would be well to consider the
amount, At first it would seem that the amount named, $2 5,
000 would be too small to make it valuable. To divide this
amount among the different sections of the county would
be to give each a very small amount of good road.
To spend it largely in one section would, in a sense, be
an injustice to other sections. Thus, it is app u'ent that the
question of am >unt should be given carefui consideration.
The expense of a bond issue is shared equally by prop¬
erty all over the county, henre the benefits should be just as
equally distributed.
The sum named will hardly meet the requirments of the
situation by giving in perfect equality a sufficient amount to
be of benefit to the people as they would naturally expect.
But Newton county must have improved roads, and the
details will all get properly adjusted.
Wail Street Speculators are Not Guides.
The markets on Wall street have given emphatic contra¬
diction to the oft-repeated, always-delayed and never-fulfilled
promises of the republican party leaders to restore prosperity
to the country at various given dates.
In the beginning it was to come immediate’y after the coun
tr y ' caught its breath in 1908, the said breath having been
momentarily knocked out of it by a fall on the slippery
pavements of New York.
Then it was to come as soon as the big crops of the year
were assured and the railroads would get busy with their
movement. Next it would follow automatically and instanta
neon sly upon the election of Taft to the presidency.
Aoam it was fixed to tread on the toes of the New Year
turnover, and when this tailed to materialize it was tacked to
the date of the inauguration of Taft.
But as the inauguration date approached the restoration of
prosperity receded into the distance, growing further away
each day as evidenced by the tone and doings cf Wall street.
Now the delay is laid on the agitation of the tariff question
and the postponement this time is made to cover the passage
of the tariff bill and the completion of the adjustment in busi
ness that will be necessary thereunder.
The country is tired of this theatrical and hollow pretense
"by the republican leaders, The truth is the resumption of
business and the restoration of profitable volume in dealings
and labor will have to be earned by the country, plugging
along the best it can.
Way up in Wall street the indications are bad and mislead
mg. The country is doing better than the operations of the
street would indicate.
Whenever a single corporation explodes, or a railroad gets
into trouble, or a bank goes bust, Wall street has a fit—but
the bulk of the country goes on quietly—- very quietly—trans¬
acting such business as it can find to do.
It is finding a little more and a little more day by day, and
will in time attain such a condition as might be desired. But
this recovery will be in spite ol and not on account of any
good office or aid cf the republican party.
There L cnly one method of getting the best out of your
business arjd that is by advertising it.
It must be terribly dry in Columbus. Listen to this from
