Georgians are beginning to realize
that one of the surest ways to bring a
return of prosperity to this state i9 to
establish the system of good roads laid
out by the State Highway Department,
which will assure them better market-
ing facilities for their diversified crops.
So long os had roads moke the near
est market a day’s journey away, our
formers will he slaves to the one crop
system. With good roads, good mar
kets will L ■ Li'ov.g'X vitLir. a few hours
of every faife.r and will enuble him to
produce and market crops that will
bring him money all the year round,
and free him from the credit system
which impoverishes him.
Georgia can only hope to quit paying
tribute to the north and west when she
wakes ,up, as those sections have done,
to the value of good roads and good
schools to the rural* community. Mil-
lions of dollars go out of this state
each year to purchase food stuffs that
can be grown right here in super-abun
dance, hut our ffirnvars luck the incen
tive for producing these crops because
marketing conditiow) in the past have
been so poor. Good roads will change
all this and keep at home the money
we are paying out to envich tho west
ern producer of buy, grain, meat prod
ucts and canned goods.
If the farmer could realize what good-
roads mean to his welfare, ho would
enthusiastically support the proposed
bond issue fo^ good roads, for by this
means he will have mis highways built
for him by the nut-'mobile owners ijf
{he country witliout having to pay out
one cent in additional taxes. The bond
plan simply takes tho income from the
automobilo license lees and gasoline
tax and converts it into a. fund to re
tire the bonds, thus making it do in
ten years wlmt otherwise it would take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all over the state
are turning to the bond issue as the
means for helping the farmers who
have been stricken b; the boll weevil
pest buck to prosperily, and they are
supporting tho measure with enthu
siasm.
Practically every civic organization
in tho- state has endorsed tho good
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureau
Federation president, Hon. J. W. Mor
ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically for
it, as are tho maiorltv of the Chambers
of Commerce in the state. The inter
esting thing about all this enthusiasm
for the bonds, however, is the fact that
the peoplo who wi’-l have to pay for
tho roads under the plan, the automo
bile owners, arc the ones most heartily
supporting it. They regard it as a
measure of economy. They say the les
sened wear and tear on their cars and
the saving in gasoline consumption will
amply,compensate'them. The farmer
is the man who will benefit most from
the good roads and they will cost him
nothing, for only such an amount of
bonds will bo issued as can be retired
by the automobile license fees and the
gasoline tax. More than this amount
is prohibited in . the constitutional
amendment. ■.*

With the Democrats regarded as sol*
Idly against the proposal, an »nfonnal
