contracts filed and not fled old and new

The County Roads.

We are glad to see that the plan advo-
Gated by the Spectator several years ago for
the the raising of the requisite amount OF
funds to put the County roads in good Or
der and to keep them SO, seems now to be
receiving general approval, not only in this
County, but in others, including the county
of Rockingham. Mr.. D. A. Heatwole of
Dale Enterprise in that County has COM
munication on the subject in the last issue
of the Rockingham Register from which we
make the following extract
ST will here give plan that | have
thought of for several years, by which
think means can be provided without levy.
ing heavy tax that will greatly improve
our roads. I will use figures only for illus.
trating my plan. Let the County take the
proper steps to issue bonds, say 500 600,
redeemoble in Is, 90 or 25 years. Annual
interest on said bonds at six per cent, IS. DOC
Assessed values of the county real and per
sonal, round number, $40, 900, 900. A road
tax of five cents on 800 on said amount
would produce $4,000. $1,000 would pay
interest on bonds, and the remaining 50,
600, less cost OF collection, could be used az
a sinking fund. The only plausible objec-
ton that may be urged against this plan or
a similar one, is the entailing of debt up
on the generation that is to follow us, but
we must consider that we would be hand
ing down:a great boon in the way of better
roads.
A road tax of five cents on the 800, max
ing no allowance for increase or shrinkage
of values, would pay the interest and liqui.
date debt of $50 900 in about II years.
have suggested this plan believing that the
present financial condition of the people OF
our County will not permit the assessment
of road tax sufficiently adequate to put
the amount of work On our public roads
that is certainly needed in the near future.

-sTAUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERT
The Sugar Tax.

The tariff is tax, despite the persistent
denial of the republicans. The recent re-
duction of the price Of sugar is most con
vincing proof of it. There is about TINS
cheapening of sugar and what is due to the
Republican party for it, much that IS IN
perfectly understood. =,
The reduction of the tariff on sugar Will
reduce the revenues of thu government
about $50, 100000. Every cent of this VIII
have to be made up by increased duties
upon something else. 1t is the largest sub
iect, the duty upon which goes entirely into
the treasury, because nearly all OF it comes
from abroad, the amount raised IN TINS
country being uncomfortable as compared
with what is consumed here. The late re-
publican congress when it exhausted the
surplus in the treasury and established
sources of drain upon it for larger amount
of revenue than the annual income when
sugar was taxed made 1t, necessary to lu-
crease the duties upon ether articles OF ne
cessities to supply the deficiency. So what
the people gain by cheaper sugar, they
more than lose by dearer something Disc.
The tariff they pay in increased values up
on other articles goes largely into the pocks..
cts of the manufacturers and not to swell
the public revenues.
The Mckinley law was smart dodge to
seem to be favoring the people by lesson
ing the price of a universal article OF use,
Whilst it was simply using their sugar re-
duction as blind to extort more from the
people for the benefit of the monopolists. -
