Kenimer Writes On Bonds
Says Improvement Amount to Small
The proposition of a bond issue
for the voters of White county to
pass on again will most assuredly
be put before them in the near
future, and it’s time folks are
studying the proposition from
every angle.
I have always advocated the is¬
sue for bonds for all public im¬
provement, as I think that is the
only logical way to raise the money
necessary for such improvement of
public nature.
I don’t exactly approve the prop¬
osition in its present form. I think
we should vote $50,000, instead of
the $15,000 for building and im¬
proving the main roads leading in¬
to the National Highway from the
various sections of the county. I
think that $15,000 would be in¬
adequate for the purpose for which
it is proposed. Let’s require a
larger issue of bonds before we vote
the whole proposition.
1 favor a bond issue of $50,000
to be spent for the construction of
a highway through the county, but
1 am as much interested in the feed
roads as I am in one national high¬
way. As I view the situation as it
now stands the meager sum of
$15,000 is a scheme to pull the
$50,000 safe to shore for the na¬
tional highway. Understand me
I am in favor of bonds, but [ want
the whole thing based on equality
and justice.
A few words to those who are
opposed to bonds for public im¬
provements to study over. First
they say we have not got the money
to make these improvements, to be
be sure we have not. It’s true that
if I need $100 to perfect a deal I
am always glad to know I can bor¬
row that money at 8 per cent in¬
terest in order to perfect the deal;
I don’t mind tha interest, I am
glad to pay it; but they might say
that 1 don’t want to have to pay
my part. Why not? All public
interests of the county should be
based on the same princles as those
of a private nature. They might
deem a bond issue a burden im¬
posed upon the rising generation.
However, I don’t consider'' that I
am imposing a burden upon my
children when I help vote bonds,
because in event of me having
property at my death it falls into
their possession and they are as
able to take my place in the line of
progress as I am during my life
time, but if I should not have any
property to leave to my posterity,
theg they will not have any of the
extra taxes to pay—see the point?
The proposition of bon<|s to raise
money is well balanced—each man
pays according to his ability, rich
and poor alike.
Very truly,
John K. Kenimer.

How To Get Rich
Make up your mind to work at
something really worthy of work,
and work hard.
The surest way to make money
is to save money and use what you
have.
Don’t be afraid of long hours or
constant attention to your work.
Work can be made a joy, an
economy, a pleasure, if you com¬
bine an object woatli while with
the determined ambition to win.
Any young man can get rich,
can succeed, if he saves; has a
definite and honest purpose, and is
so filled with this purpose that
work ceases to be a hardship and
becomes a privilege.—Jackson
Herald.

Was Franklin Wron§? •
■ 1 IEN FRANKLIN SAID a great many wise things
in his day. One ot liis sayings that has been
widely quoted is: “A dollar saved is a dollar eaned.”
But one of our depositors says that this is not true—
that Ben Franklin was all wrong,
lie says :
“It is impossible to save all you earn. The average
man earns $5 for every dollar he is able to lay aside.
You might say that lie lias $4 expense to each dollar
of profit.
“If then, it is necessary to earn $5 tn artier to Save $1
don’t you see that any plan that saves an extra dollar
• is as good as $5 earned? Or to bring Franklins fa¬
mous saying up-to-oate we must say ‘A dollar saved is
five dollars earned.”
What do you think about it?
