C. ROSS, President. J. A. CARROLL, Vice-Prest. A Cherokee Farmer’s Views On the Subject. Editor Ledger.—I noticed a few weeks ago you agreed to give space in TJhe Ledger for the road question to be discussed, either for or against good roads. I think it would he useless to enter into details in regard to advantages and disadvantages, as any thinking man would admit that money invested in stone roads would be the best in vestment that could he made for the benefit of the people living in the rural districts. I think the great trouble with us country people is we need education in regard to the good roads question. As a rule we country people, I believe, think that we pav about all the- tax, with, of course some exceptions. Now, if we could view the situation as it is we would readily see that we do not pay more than ope- third of the tax that goes In the coun ty treasury. If we would take the beam out of our own eyes we could see that the railroads, towns and cotton mills pay about two-thirds of the tax. If 1 do live in the backwoods I have studied human nature a little. We have several classes of people, of which I will mention two or three. In the first I will Include myself. Ouj* tax is anywhere from fifteen cents up to $20. If we could realize the bene fits of good roads we would not have any trouble. We have a class that oppose any thing in the way of modern improve ments, if they do not receive the greatest benefit from it. That clas^ would squeeze a dollar so hard the eagle could not squall. I am in favor of doing some perma nent work on our roads: I think we should build three miles each year. We could build that amount without being burdened with taxes. Now a common but erroneous impression prevails that when a road is once ma cadamized. graveled, or surfaced with any hard material it is then finished and must endure forever. An improv ed road needs constant attention, and unless this is given in a systematic manner, like the railroads, the road will disintegrate and go to ruin. Rail road companies build and ballast their roadways to the highest standard of perfection: then employ section men to keep up every mile.
