'I he it.ad map now beinK distributed over ti : ;m
attractive i i«ce of paper, but don’t be deceived into the bo
lief that the 4,700 miles of highway, as shown on thi. map,
can be constructed with the bonds to be voted. A careful
estimate shows that only about one-half that mileage c,n lv>
built. Then the u icstion is. what roads are to receive first
attention. State I'reasurer lieeeraft savs that <• un i' t r<
istering tiie greatest majorities for the bonds will hive first
consideration. How fur down the line will thut place s me
of our western counties that give a majority vote against
the bonds?
Among other arguments against the bonds Senator
Thomas makes the following:
The resolution provides a scheme of maintenance where-
in the lands along the roads for a distance of thre • m l
hick shall be assessed an arbitrary rate without ie uni to
valuation: and under the plan proposed, the l"gislatun* h; 8
absolute power to fix the rate of tax “at such sum
provide a fund sufficient to maintain such road.”
If the people approve the measure, this scheme of n V
tenance is also approved; and when the present rate is i
sullicient to maintain the roads, the legislature lias ti:.

only for 25 years, but for all time.
Thus the farm lands along the designated roads, will
not only have to bear their share of the original cost of c n
struction. but the same lands within the maintenance mines
will have the entire C"9t of maintenance forever.
The consideration of this bond issue should be pi.rely
upon a business basis; and, in this connection, I desire i»
call attention to the financial condition of the state. The
present bonded debt of the state and its several subdivis-
ions is in excess of $75,000.1*00. In addition to the foregoing
it is estimated that our part of the great national war debt
is in excess of $(500,000,000. If this proposed road bund
‘debt is voted, we will have a total bonded or mortgage d bt
directly or indirectly upon this state of approximately
$750,000,000.
The rocent legislature appropriated a total sum in ex-
cess of $18,000,000 or some $9,000,000 a year for the next
two years. In addition to our district, town, or cry school
tax, and in addition to our township, town, or city tax-
in addition to our county tax' we must pay this $9,000,000
a year as a state tax; and, in addition to the foregoing, we
must pay in same form of taxation, the interest on our part
of this gigantic national war debt: and, at the same time,
we must be paying, in some form of taxation, funds to re-
tire the principal of the war debt.
If this $50,000,000 bond issue is appioved, we will ha\e an
additional burden of $2,000,000 a year as principal, and a
maximum of almost $2,000,000 a year as interest.
In view of the financial condition of the state, and in
view of present economic conditii ns, are we ready to incur
the additional obligation of paying oui. this vast sum as in-
terest on money borrowed for road construction, when the
interest item-totaling $25,000,000—can be avoided?
The arguments are all in. You. the jury, are
called upon to render a verdict next Tuesday
