Youn^ls Islam!, Jan. 7; Editor Press and Standard. While the mass meeting ai Walterborn did not accomplish all that was hoped for. 1 feel sun* that the jr* neral inter change of views there \viii have a stimulating.effect that will eventu ally result in much- good to the county. Had the people in each section held club''meetings, and discus ed the is.-ues thoroughly, and have sont delegates, much nuir would have been accomplished/ I had hoped that good roads ai—i ia- tions Vvould have bi*en foniied at that meeting. I believe that organization is the solution to this mooted Koad law question. 1 d<» not believe that the legislature can pass a law that will bo satisfaetory to all sections of the county, with the funds and chain gang to i*e ojx'rated from a common centre. It is unreasonable to expert the supervisor to understand the conditions prevailing in every sec tion. hut with a thoroughly organued association, they would know what was needed. I In-lievc that every dollar collected from each section for road purposes, should be re turned to that section. From the Treasurer’s report they would know exactly w hat funds were credited to their section, consequently, the as sociation would lx* in position to disburse the funds to the very best possible advantage and to place the chain gafTg where it wouid do most good. As it now stands, these is nothing left for the legislature to do but pass an act operating the funds and chain gang through the county com missioners; there is no other body to take hold. This system has been faithfully and thoroughly tried and it has proven a most signal failure, even before we begin. I would again urge that each sec tion get togt ther and organize and give your representatives a legal body with which to co-operate, this can at least do no harm, and in my ■rr t.Muo to start: Purges*.
