THE MATTER OF GOOD ROADS.

II is understood that residents of the
agricultural districts of this county are
about to submit plans to the Board Of Su-
peryisors looking to general system of
improving the leading roads to Sacra-
mento. As the plans are not fully ma
tured We can only speak in general terms.
Probably the call will be for the issuance
of county bonds at low rate Of interest,
but which private capital or the authori-
tics in charge Of State funds will deem
good investment; to provide for 4 small
tax for sinking fund for the redemption
Of the bonds in long period and to trust
to the road poll taxes collected outside Of
the city only, ard to district levies to keep
the roads in repair. Whatever is done il
that direction must first lie submitted to a
vote Of the people. The interests Of the
city sometimes have an apparent antag-
onism to those Of the country-but it IS
only apparent. Jealousy sometimes is
real, however, between these sections in
the matter Of the distribution of the bur
dens of government, and the agency
through which values are aScertained and
taxation laid. But in fact, there should
be no clashing. Our interests are com
mon. 1t Is to the interest of every mar
ket town to have good roads leading into
it. 1t is equally the interest of every out
lying section TO have an avenue Of easy
approach to the market ut all times. Bad
roads leading to market are the cquiya-
lent of walls barring approach and
amount TO dead drags upon pros
perity. In every county where
the policy of good roads obtains, the mar
ket towns profit largely. Where bad roads
are the rule, the trade is duled, diverted,
scattered, and instead Of steadily contrib
uting, is delayed until it is made worth
the while Of the purchaser-farmer 20 90
by rail to a greater even though more
distant, market Bad roads, toll gates, and
toll bridges are tax lcvies upon the con
slmers of country products directly, and
upon the producers indirectly, while the
middlemen OF tradesmcn are immediately
affected by inequality and loss of trade.
1t is to be accepted, then, that it is wise
policy TO have all main avenues leading to
a market town passable at all seasons of
the year, and so constructed and kept as to
be a constant invitation to people to come
and trade in the town, as often as their
ordinary need or pleasure suggests, and
not to delay until absolute necessity COM
pels. Assuming, for the moment, that
some of our leading roads are not up 10
good standard that some Of them are a |
good part of the year actually impossible, |
and others another good part Of the year
passable only with discomfort, it is positive
that it is 4 wise policy to correct these
evils. and the sooner the better, and that
the interests of city and country in doing
50 are common. Perhaps the interest of
the city is greater. Certainly in the out
Law necessary to make permanently good
roads under general system, the city will
have to bear larger share of the cost;
while to maintain and keep them in order,

the country will bear nearly the whole
subsequent expense. If the Supervisors OF
the county shall conclude to submit the
matter to vote of the people, they should
accompany the submission with 1ull
statement of the present condition
of al the leading highways; and AL
estimate of the ability of the county to
maintain the roads when once rounded up,
craveled. culverted and bridged and also
an estimate of the original cost and the
cost of maintenance of free bridges. 1t
should also be made clear exactly how
much money is needed on fair estimate
by experts, and how and under what re-
strictions it is to be expended. For we
assume that, at least in the city, there is
not that information possessed on these
subjects by many voters that there should
be- 1t will then be very easy for the peo-
pie to determine if the proposed plan is
an economic one, and whether there will
exist opportunities for steals and willful
waste Of the fund and exorbitant contracts,
and all that. 1t is as well to face these
latter issues at once, for the people will he
very much inclined at first to entertain the
! fear that so large q sum as $4,000, for in
stance, will tempt some to line their peck
cts. 1t is possible, however, to show to
the people that such guards may and will
be thrown about the fund, that it viii be
wholly and scrupulously devoted to the
purposes for which voted. Sacramento is
a safe county. 1t can dispose of its bonds
with the least of shaving, and capital will
ordinarily consider investment with us as
good investment. Without indorsing any
special plan, we have this to say, that this
city and county should have good roads
constructed according TO a general system
that good free roads are economic devices,
and the direct couservators Of large and
steady trade They enhance property
values in the country to an extent that
more nearly equalizes the burden of taxa
ton between city and county they induce
settlement, advance commerce, cheaper
necessaries and generally contribute to
the prosperity of all the people of the
county. We trust the subject now preached
will have full, free and dispasSionate dis
cussion, under which it is perfectly certain
the voters within the city will arrive at
a conclusion in harmony with an economic
plan for the mutual betterment of the in
terests of both city and county.

The IMMIGRATION ASSOCIATION.

The season is now upon us when the I'M
migration Association of Northern Califor
MIA will need, more than at any other, to
have its hands upheld. Thus far, while
much good work has been done, there has
not been that full and enthusiastic response
| from all thecomtics that should have been
made A very little effort in each county
now will enable the Association to do a
great deal of effective work. We have had
no communication with the officers of the
Association for months, but we know pre-
cisely the needs of the work. The tide OF
immigration has set in the seekers for in
| formation are numerous; presently they
will be many, and before the close of the
year they will, we sincerely believe, be 4
multitude This is a reasonable expecta-
ton based upon the seed sown during the
fall and winter. Unless all experience is
at fault, we may soon expect returns
Moreover the tide Of travel is turning to
the Central route, and the new arrange
ment by which immigrants are permitted
to stop over" Will be strong inducemcnt
for them to view northern and central Cal
ifornia. We are to have this year more
competition than ever before Our brethren
at the south have relaxed none of their
energy those Of the San joaquin valley
have organized for the same purpose that
actuates the citizens Of northern Califor-
MIA; the people of Sonoma have perfected
n strong organization to induce immigra-
tion to that section. California is now in
a formative condition. The centers of
population are being located The locali-
ties that neglect the present oppor-
tunities Will find it extremely
difficult to benefit largely, as against those
sections that secure incoming capital and
population. When trade centers are once
established they are very difficult of re-
moval The towns and cities that improve
the present will be those that will continue
for all time to be the centers of commerce.
Northern California has every reason,
therefore, to be more than dilligent at this
time. Every county in it should have :,
live, active and energetic local organize
ton, working conformity with the central
body having its headquarters in this city.
Money will be needed in larger quantity
than has yet been furnished; but more
than money Is needed, active workers.
When the immigrant comes he should
haze attention; there should be an organ
izat{on in every county, with agents dep
utized to receive the inquirer and to give
him trustworthy information, pilot him
whittier he would go, and protect him
from sharpers and mere spectators In
short, this spring Is the season for untiring
labor in settling up the State, and there is
every assurance that every dollar given
and every effort put forth will meet with
rich reward.
