By a tax upon the entire county the weaker and smaller townships will share alike with I lie more wealthy townships and those in which there are corporations and will also get flic benelit of lite increased valuations in these communities. \N liile tin* bond issue lias been defeated the agitation has probably resulted in creating a sentiment in favor of. taxation for road making. One ot the reasons for opposing' bonds is that it is possible the money might not be properly expended and jit it were not the tax would go on j whether any roads were built or not. j With an annual tax if results were I not accomplished the tax can be taken otV.
