COUNTRY ROADS

Waco News: The most practical way
to secure good country roads in this state
has, for the past year. been attracting
more attention and elieiting more news
paper discussion than, perhaps, almost
any other one theme. It is right and
proper that it should, for 1t is one of the
most important subjects which can be
presented for the consideration of the
people. In the discussion, while ali re-
alize the necessity for action and ao-
knowledge the Importance OF the subject,
leading minds VINO have discussed it
differ as to the best plan to pursue to Sc
cure good roads. Some favor bonding
while others oppose such step
and favor pay-as-you-go policy,
the needed funds TO be raised by
direct taxation, and among those who
have discussed it. champions OF the two
plans, are about equally divided. while
the News has not given the matter the
thoughtful consideration 10 which it is,
by reason of its magnitude. justly en-
titled. So far as we have looked we are
inclined to favor the bonding system,
and the following are some of our reasons
for so doing: To make such highways as
the country needs will require large sums
of money, which either must be taken
directly from the pockets of the people
or raised by the sale of bonds. Now, it
is a well-known fact that county bonds
running, say twenty, thirty or fifty
years, at six per cent, can be sold at par
in Eastern or European markets, and it is
possible to even sell five per cents. at par.
Everyone knows here in Texas where one
per cent. per month Is the banker 5 rule,
and per cent. the sharper's that there
is no 5 per cent money in this state.
That being true, and viewing the matter
strictly as business transaction, sound
business principles would warrant the
adoption of the bonding plan because of
its cheapness. Again, the inflow and
distribution of the money secured by the
sale of bonds would have happy effect
upon the rate of interest now charged in
this state. Again, il is believed that if
two million of dollars were expended in
making good county roads, say in Nc
Lehman county, that taxable
values would appreciate fully
three times that amount. The
general cry with which all who are OPP
posed to bonds for present improvements,
''that it is unfair to posterity, is more
sentimental than sensible - All such
we ask who but posterity will own and
use the roads and acres of this country.
If they own and enjoy it, it is not and
cannot be unfair for them to pay for
what they secure from this. We doubt
not some of our thinking men have
given this matter, "to bond or not to
bond'', careful consideration, if so, we
would be glad to print their conclusions.

ROADS DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.

ROADS DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.
Temple Sun: Although Bell county
has many good roads and sub
stantial bridges, a great many more
are badly needed. All seem to real
ize that good roads are essential to
general prosperity. They indicate a
good and prosperous county. Bad roads
or no roads are sign of decay, of shift
lessness and of poverty. Years ago
there was no use for more than trail or
bridlepath in Bell county. Such were
sufficient to meet the demands of travel.
That day has gone by. Where then
there was hamlet struggling for a place
on the county map growing cities are now
marked upon the atlas of the world.
The creeks aud rivers could be easily
forded when the only travelling equippage
was q pack-horse and the only load a
sack of meal. Circumstances have
changed the whole face of nature. A
city must have veins as well as human
being. Iron arteries are we'll enough in
their way, but wagon bridges and dirt
roads are needed as well. Many villages
with an aggregate trade amounting to
very many thousands may be reached by
the county road which otherwise would
IRON horse cannot penetrate the fast
nesses, but the mule-team can. Thous-
ands of dollars can be gained to the city
by the county road. The city is not alone
benefited; the country comes in for its
lion $ share of the benefits. Its re-
sources may be the more easily reached
and developed by the building of good
roads.
IMPROVE THE ROAD LAW.
Wills Point Chronicle: Everyone has
had something to say in regard to roads,
and we have held our peace, as we sup
posed the people had as good roads as
they wanted. The law gives. them con-
troll, and if they are in a bad condition,
the fault lies with the commissioners,
overseers and the people. We do not
deem the present road law a good one,
for we have always favored taxation so
as to reach corporations, non-residents
and those over forty-five years of age.
Citizens should be allowed to work out
their tax, and they should be made to
give an honest days work. The COM :
missioners in general are failing to do
their duty as road supervisors, but we
fear they do not fail to draw their per
diem for such services. The law ought
to specify the character of roads, graded
from the center to each side so as to Sc
cure drainage. Every gully and ravine
should have an ample culvert for the es-
cape of accumulated water, and soft,
spongy land or sipes covered with brush
and then weighted with top soil and not
with clay. These specifications "nom-
mated in the bond'' would give super
visors a standard by which to report their
roads. AS the law now stands, everyone
has his own ideal to be governed by and
not legal standard.
