An Editorial
On Tuesday, May 31*t, the voters of Justice Pre-
cinct I of Hopkins County will be called upon to vote
on the iasuance of road bonds in the amount of $200,-
000. Very little publicity, pro and con, has been giv-
en thia election, which ia one of the most important
for Hopkins County since the county-wide road bond
election several years ago, which secured the Car-
nation Milk Plant for Sulphur Springs.
It is not the purpose of this editorial to attempt
to tell the voters of thia precinct how they shall vote
in the coming election; even if we had that power
we would not try to uae it. Every qualified voter in
this precinct is entitled to vote exactly the way he
desires with no criticism from any one who votes the
other way. That ia the American way of holding
elections.
Our only purpose in writing this editorial is to
state our position, how we are going to vote, and ex-
plain why, in our humble opinion, we believe the best
interests for the future of Hopkins County can be ser-
ved by voting the $200,000 bonds in Justice Precinct
One.
Using plain, simple language, the whole proposi-
tion in a nut-shell, as we see it, is that the State High-
way Department will construct a four-lane super
highway through Hopkins County at an estimated
coat of around seven million dollars if Justice Pre-
cinct 1 will give them the right-of-way, cleared and
ready for construction. That is a ratio of about 85
dollars to 1, which is pretty good odds in any man’s
language. The $200,000 bonds would be used by
the county in buying right-of-way, paying damage to
improvements on farms, constructing fences, etc.
This proposal by the State Highway Department
ia strictly a business proposition—they’ll build the
highway if we’ll give them the right-of-way. They
make no raah promises, use no threats. However it
is not unreasonable for us to say that if Hopkins
County rejects the proposition, our neighbors to the
South wilt probably jump at the opportunity to se-
cure the highway through their section of the coun-
try. By referring to a map, it Is quickly seen that it
is just about as close from Dallas to Texarkana via
Terrell to Wills Point to Quitman to Wlnnsboro to
Mt. Pleasant aa is the proposed route from Dallas to
Greenville to Sulphur Springs to Mt. Pleasant to
Texarkana. Do we want to pass up this opportunity
for a modern, four-lane highway, and let our neigh-
bors to the South grab it?
We realise taxes are high, hi fact too high, and
every property owner is now overburdened with ev-
ery kind of a tax that can be hatched up. But, on
the other hand, ya’ can’t get sumthin’ fer nuthin.
Modern, four-lane highways don’t come a dime a
doxen. The Commissioners Court of Hopkins Coun-
ty estimates that if one-half the county’s valuation
is within Justice Precinct 1, and the entire $200,000
ia uaed the rate levied for aaid bonds would be about
30c to 35c on the hundred dollar valuation. How-

Pari*, May 24.—The bear is
smiling in Paris today.
Russia has been pouring fire
and brimstone into most talks with
the Western Powers since the war.
But in Paris, Foreign Minister
Andrei Vishlnaky now is suave
and agreeable.
The Western Powers expect to
find out today just how far Rus-
sia plans to go in Its new atti-
tud-p
flu. Kw
x fif; Dig rwwr FTrlTign
Council held it* first sessiea yes-
terday in the pink marble pslece
near the Arch of Triumph. And
Vishinsky quickly agreed to an
agenda offered by Foreign Minis-
ter Robert Schuman of France.
It had the support of the Western
Powers
Vishinsky smiled and said—“If
I am not absolutely convinced by
your argument, nevertheless I
will consent to your proposal."
And the Soviet minister had a
heartening prediction for the Big-
Four meeting. Said Vishinsky;—
“We are going to agree on all
questions here”
He made that reply to e ques-
tion whether Russia would insist
on complete agreement on Ger-
man problems, before taking up
those of Austria.
Western leaders were describ-
ed as “flabbergasted" by Visbin-
sky’s acquiescence. They had been
prepared for some change of
heart on the part of Russia after
the lifting of the Berlin blockade.
But not the about-face.
Vishinsky’s ready smile will get
a stiff test today. German unity
is the first problem on the agenda
when the foreign ministers meet.
The conference is to take up ex-
tension of the Western German
Republic to include Eastern Ger-
many, now under Russian rule.
Western sources say it Is hard
to believe that Vishinsky will re-
main so conciliatory through that
d is t usslon.
