In consequence of this law il look-

Mr.. Ettien, in last week : communi-
cation. made reference To the existing
road law in operation in this terri
tory. While the law il faulty in many
particulars, we will only refer to some
features of il at this time There j.
scarcely IA STATEN the Mon, we believe,
but what gives The taxpayer his choice
OF working out his poll tax or paying
it in casi. Ii this il found the most
practical and satisfactory method in
the states why would il not operate
in the territories? ~ Mr.. Ettien says:
most oil our people can better afford
to spend few days time than to pay
the money
The old law, which gave road super
yisors the power To collect poll tax
or to see that the tax was worked ont
has many commendable features. The
supervisor being IL permanent resident
Of the township, knows every man
subject to the tax and il one refuses to
comply with the law, either witt money
or labor, the superN isor can have him
arrested Under the present law the
duty OF collecting the poll tax devolves
upon the county assessor. who knows
bu, small portion OF those subject
to the tax, and is compelled to rely
upon the person, company, or corpo-
ration by whom "a great many persons
are employed foracorrect list of those
from whom the tax should becollected.
There are "A number OF men in every
township who are in the employ of no
one, yet are liable to the tax; this
class will find it much easier to cvadc
the assessor on his travels than they
would the permanently located super
visor.
Ii is claimed this county is out five
or six thousand dollars under the
law requiring the assessor to collect
poll tax, how it has worked in other
counties we are unable to state.
The awarding OF contracts for keep
ing roads in repair will probably be
given "a test in this county the coming
spring, and it will he soon enough to
find fault with that portion OF the law
after its merits have been thoroughly
tested
