strange. The natural advantages for all

who is not patriotic and honestly
solicitous of the public welfare.
Then again, the people, in whose
hands the power of selection is
placed, being untrammeled by the
corrupting influences of the system
first touched upon, are more apt to
elect capable and honorable men.
The latter method of governing
by men who serve for love of coun-
try and concern for the general
good, without money compensation,
is high and noble, and should, in
our opinion, be rs closely initiated
as possible in this kingdom. 1t
may not he practicable to have an
unpaid Legislature, but it certainly
is practicable to have unpaid local
road boards. The general boards
education, health and immigration
meeting at the capital, are, and we
believe always have been, unpaid
bodies. Why should not the coun-
try boards, which the Road Com
missioners bill aims to create, be
unpaid bodies too? We believe in
the principle of the bill, to place
the management of local affairs to
some extent under local direction
and control, but this compensation
! clause we consider one of the several
| defects of the measure. If any
| district cannot find two or three
men able and willing to serve with
out compensation, that district is
not worthy of being entrusted with
the management of its own affairs.
But we incline to the belief that
every district in the country can
furnish the requisite number of
men, ready and willing to give their
services gratuitously, in the capa-
city of road commissioners. for the
public good.
