It seems fo me that we ou'.dif to take a deeper inteivst in matters that alVecl our immediate welfare, than \\\ matters that alTeet us more or less remotely. for instance, (he luiuor nues- | lion and Miters of its kind. These are I Stale issues, but t.hc road question is before our own doors and should j have our first attention, if for no other reason, because there is an 'element I of self-interest in it.

I lie manu'act uier. the raimad company, the auyer, the physician ami'all oilier inerests as to the farmer, yet. under lie present vr-uem, how much do hose interests contribute to The naiiiiainancc of the public roads? Not no solitary cent! fan you blame belli Not at all for the law does mi require il of them.

Tne answer is as -imple as it dim 1 : Levy a per capita and a pro .i r \ lax. In New Merry rnitiuy : 'iere i- taxable proper! \ at its a-se-svaluation amounting to -rti.SI'iS.'JS I or nearly $7.0110.000. This means anvwhere between twelve and tourteen millions of property, if assessed at it- true value. Now what revenue i- derived from all this wealth lor the niaintainance of the public roads? Not one penny not one cent for the niainiaiiianee of the greatest public vilility that we have! To continue such o policy is -.imply foolish. I*ut a three mill tax on property ami liti- will uive us ; then levy a per capita lav of two dollars and thi? will vrive us about +12.00(1. Add 1 lie.-e two funds and we will have .">00.00 per annum to put on the roads. A three mill lax is not too much: a smaller amount would'be in:!il.|iiale I five any vi-iblo results ^ and this movement would be prom-uuced .1 failuie. We are paying a ? 1 lire,? mill tax I'oi the snpporU of the public -< iioois and why not contribute y as much for the niaiutainauce of the public loads? The public school, 1 admit, is n necessity; on the other ^ hand, the public road is indispensable. Any one of us may pass from the cradle to the grave and never enjoy the privilege of attending a public ? school, but no one of us can live in a civilized community and keep out of :1m 'uiblic road. ?The public road is tlie barometer that registers the odouree of progress \ that a people lias reached. The savage follows a path thronuh the forest: civilized men mark out crude roadways over which vehicle may pass with more or less difficulty; in ciiltur- ] ed and progressive communities the roadway is no loiufer a mere gnidimj' line from one point to another, but il is a hard, smooth highway, built and 3 maintained out of the public treasury and treated in all respects like any other public institution. Now mv gontle reader, will you kindly look at the barometer and tell us where we are? T. E. Wicker. SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. Itching. Burning Skin Disease Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs.
