The Municipal League of Geor¬
gia is very active in trying to “put
over” a Oil! for the advantage of
socialism. The legislature,of course
will not pass this bill, but some
very precious time will be wasted
that should be devoted to some
things that the people need now.
Has tire progress and develop¬
ment of White county advanced as
it should? Kverybody*>viil say no
without a dissenting voice. Who
is actually responsible for this lack
of progress? It is each individual
Witli this facing us, are we still to
stand id)y, uriprogressively and in¬
differently and see White county’s
fair name listed as one that does
not desire to prosper? Well,
thoughtful readers, where are we
if this is not our position?
On the 20th of July an issue will
be placed before the suffrage of the
people, and this issue will tell by
the people’s vote whether or not
tfiey desire to advance or go back¬
wards. This issue is (he voting of
bonds for the construction of roads
in White county. What better
move could we make than that of
getting good and permanent roads
in White county?
Do you koow that the man who
is termed the poor man is the man
who builds and maintains the roads
in White county at present ? Well
these are facts, lie pays just as
much direct road tax as the wealth¬
iest tnan in the county. Another
thing, friend, you know we have
several lurge laud owners in White
county who are non-residents. Now
isn’t this perfectly right and fair
that these inen should help to build
our roads? In fact they would be
glad to help us in building better
roads if we will but let them. Will
we?
If we vote bonds, then there will
be at least twenty miles of the most
expensive part of White county’s
roads eliminated, because the State
Highway Commission takes over
this road, which ever way it goes,
and maintains it. There will be
the $15,000, and the already road
fund for the other roads of the
county. One man from each of the
several districts of the county
where this state aid money is not
spent will be elected to see that his
district is getting its share ojj the
$15,000. Of course, this $15,000
is to be proportioned and these
men from the several districts and
the county commissioners will do
tile proportioning. Have you a
single good excuse why you do not
wish to vote bonds? We know
you haven’t. The highway will
only take from White county $50,
000, and that is all, to build this
road, regardless of what the ex¬
pense may be, and the State High¬
way Commission has assuredWhite
county they will get just as much
aid as any county in Georgia. Will
$50,000 put a permaoent road
through the county, one that can
be traveled the year round? You
know it won’t. Then aren’t we
willing t ) give the Highway Com¬
mission $50,000 if they will do it:
If you want better roads and
them cost less, vote for bonds on
the 20th of July. If you want the
same old kind of pig trails that
were paths made by the Indians or
our forefathers and do not desire
to advance or let anyone else, vote
.against bonds.
The registers now busily I
are en¬
gaged revising the registration list
of White county. If you ar,e
•eligible go and register at th court
.house.

The national highways that trav¬
erse our country are a great advan¬
tage to the tourist going from New
Y'ork, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cin¬
cinnati and other points to Tampa,
Fla.. Mobile, Alu.,and other points
in the extreme southern section of
our country to spend vacation. So
you readily see the highways are
primarily intended for the rich Ar
istocra^of our country, while but
a few residents of a county which
votes bonds are Miterially benefit
ted by national highways. If bonds
carry in White county, some of the
people who vote for bonds will he
badly dissatisfied, especially^ some
who live directly on a public road
with their dwelling fronting the
road, willj in the event bonds carry
be taken off the national highway,
as the government in all probability
will run the road as the result of a
survey, thereby elimiuating all con¬
spicuous hills, and the people who
now live happily located on a pub¬
lic road on a beautiful hill,- in
many instances will be deprived of
a beautiful front unless they turn
their dwelling around or build a
veranda on the rear side of the
hjuse; then the road might be
built a quarter of a mile vway.
I would vote for bonds if the con¬
sideration was $50,000 for the high¬
way and $50,000 for the feed roads
but as it is I will not do it. I am
more interested in all the roads
than I am in the national highway.
