The fact was, that there were great many

Road TaI.

The Treasurer Of this township having call
ed upon US the other day for our TKw CENTS Of
road tax. due for the year 1883. we were at
6rst. somewhat puzzled to understand the ma
lure Of the demand. Of the official; bus upon
moments reflection. this mighty truth flashed
across our mind viz. the Constitution is in the
hands Of its friends.'' We then remembered,
that the wise ones of Che last legislature, bad
concluded that progress" is the word, even,
should il be 10 'craw6sh.'' The old plan al
lowing the people to iurnishthe county Treas
ure., with their 'road receipts" or paw the
money; was in their estimation, entirely "'tso
Wbiggish."
And further, il the road levy, we're permit
ted to remain as so much county tax the dear
people" would become as "wise as serpents%
and in their wisdom might hurl from tine "high
places" those miserable miscreants who had
wormed their way to them, by falsely mis-
representing their more honest neighbOrs.
Why this change oroficers inthe collection
orthe road tax? The township officer las taxes

and even as low down as one cent, ora cent
and five mills againstJanother; be probably lives
in one corner Of a township six mi les square
and the tax debtor of ten cents in amount, in
another corner at right angles, yet he is beu ID
by his oath Of Office to collect it. What farce
for grave Legislators to Perpetrate upon an in
telligent community. hnt
Where no reason is given for change; we
are at liberty to assign one, that seems to us,
, must have been the true one. The peoples
taxes were, and still are by downright mis-
management TO speak in the mildest term
t increased yearly, 10 IOy the enormous sala-
t ries of public officers of the State; of which
the people have been grumbbug, and complain
, ing. And for the purpose Of deceiving if pOsSi-
Bile, the tax payers, they have transferred this
! tax to the toWaship officer, instead Of the
: county Treasurer. And instead Of this change
being, beneficial to the man who pays all his
taxes, by work on the road or in cash, it is a
: serious injury. Because 1t cannot be es-
: pected, that the Township Offices can collect
anything like all the small and apparently tri-
fling sums, upon his duplicate, Whereas, if the
small sums, were still as formerly, added, 10
, the county and States taxes they, could with
out additional trouble be collected by the
county Treasurer, and paid over by him to
the township Treasurer, as the School and
Township funds are.
But, the old way did not suit the tastes Of
Demagogues and designing Knaves. How
long will the people bear their burdens, and
submit to the ruinous policy Of the party in

Tnc WAY They DO Il.

The past extravaganza of the LocoIoco par
ty, since in power, in the State, has called
forth, not only from the Wings, but from the
Democraic portion of community, loud cries
for relief from griev Gus taraton. So great is
the olamor, that'the leaders of that party are
being awaked to a sense Of their condition; and
in casting theireye around, they behold the
spear of indignation pointed attheni with which
they win be pierce to the heart if no relief be
afforded To avoid political death, many are
the plans and suggestions made by them but
nothing salutary has been accomplished.
Every thing that will interfere with the
comfortable situation Of some pet of the party,
has been avoided
Some of the leaders and many of the
Journals of that party frs, favored the sale of
the Public Works but when it was discover
ed, that these were "mighty powers" in their
hands to bring scores of votes to their own
benefit it was abandoned, Rather would
they raise the rate of taxation "a mill'' higher
tn an part with one foot of Canal or National
Road, lest some party pet" be left without
place in the nation to receive public favor by
the hand of locoioeo extravaganza.
When our representative, Ecklev, introduced
bilinto the House to cede the National Road,
to the counties through which it pass es; they
gave itan Indefinite postpOnemeut; notwithsIan'
ding the figures plainly show that the Road
was drain apon the Treasury, and the Road
of no interest to the State at large.
But something must be done to .appease
the wrath Of the people, they look for les
sening Of the taxes, and they mast haze some
thing in this way. Behold how tits done. Mr.
Atkinson, in the Senate introduced resolu'
ton, on the Gath ult., proposing to reduce the
School tar from two mills to one and half
and to ABOLISH the one tenth mill tax for library
purposes In support of his resolution he
said. He was in favor of the School law
|, and would do nothing to injureft, but the
