that they are williniv to be taxed for

down mi (hat side of the fence audi
erv out with a loud voice that lu1 was'

are itn| Innkii".: for crimdiur va-saN
to represent lliem: they are looking
for men who have opinions of iheir
own and who lnive eourairi' enmi^h to
express them and to face d'efeal. if
necessary, in iKd'ense of them.
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. Tl is a strange |
tiling that jrood, sober-niimTed men?I
men of jyood judgment and common
seuee?will drive miles and miles and

I'or higher education and follow them II
with moil til and eyes wide open as C
they discuss the whiskey question
from a to z and a dozen other ques- |j
linns that have only a remote bearing 0
mi their personal interests, while \V
right before the doors of every one of |j
I hose tireless listeners there stretches p
?nl mile after mile an object lesson a

;i ; > 11 \ i in liii- eount\ and in add'i- fc
ion to t iiose objections, I will say j|
hat it is a physical impossibility to
lave '.'.ood roads under the present law
ifcause of the comparatively small
lumber of people subject to road duty
ml the few days that they rc
re rcquired to /work. llavc
on ever thought t'nat out of
ill the male population of this "*
oiinty, while ami coloreif, old enough

uier. the raimad company, the

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

done.' 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.
