Enron HERALD: Like others, wish
to express an opinion as to the proprlety
of bonding the county for roads.
Were to draw my inference from the
newspapers, this subject would seem to
me like many horned dilemma; but
closer investigation reveals the horns as
merely inflated semblances, which upon
slight pressure explode. l am frequently
met with the assertion 81 want roads as
much as you, but voting bonds does not
assure the roads; and, even if 1t were
certain that the money would be ex-
pended as agreed, it is too little to COM
plete the number OF roads we propose to
build" As to the first insinuation, we
surely have low estimate of character
and manhood, ii We can believe that OF
three men picked from our number, to
fill places of trust, two are knaves. That
the amount asked may not be enough to
complete all the roads in a first-class
manner, grant; but even roads that are
"passable six months in the year" are
better than no roads. Ii We can clear
the right-of-way, grade, bridge sloughs
and small creeks, corduroy or puncheon
over the bad places, We would have pass
able roads, and better prospect for a
system Of good roads than we now have.
But for the present we should not expect
to have county roads as good as our
streets.
Some cry out against increased taxes.
There is limit to the tax which may be
imposed. We have twenty years to raise
by taxation the money thus to be ex-
pended. We will probably pay in bonds
and interest nearly double the amount
we receive; but any one who has done
road work knows that nearly three times
the amount Of work can be done that the
same amount of money spent piecemeal,
covering period of twenty years, would
accomplish. And, besides, the increased
number and better condition of our roads
is not the only benefit to accrue from the
expenditure here Of this large sum of
Eastern capital: Money paid for labor is
money put into circulation, in the broad
est meaning of the phrase; our popula-
tion and wealth will be increased by the
presence of necessary workmen and their
families; business will receive stimulus
to the mills, it means increased local
trade; to the merchant, increased bust
ness; to the farmer, better market for
his produce; to the mechanic and
laborer, more work and less competitor.
Such, at least, is my opinion.
J. STEWART.

GRANTED.

No ore will dispute the fact that with
the opening of the proposed roads the
development OF the country will be far
more rapid than it otherwise will, or
that the lands adjoining the roads will
become far more valuable than at pres
ent, and that they will pay far larger
proportion of the tax than they now do.
--Pidttke.
Let us grant all this. Accepting it as
so, is the Hidshe willing to go on record
as saying that fifty-two thousand dollars
spent on the routes from Aberdeen to
AFFORD, Stevens prairie to Quinaiult,
Grays Harbor City to Boone creek. will
furnish wagon transportation to any
settler along one OF the proposed routes
The money called for would not open the
proposed routes. After it was spent,
there wonld be no additional incentive to
prospective settlers. 1t would simply be
taxation without compensation.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-05-07
A Sensible View.

The question Of better roads IS one IN
which every farmer in deeply Interested
Every one recognizes the necessity Ior
GOOD roads that can be travelled in WINTER
as we'll Ms in summer, but the propleih
how to get them on basis that VIII De
equitable to all seems yet to be solved.
Bonding county for the purpose o'
building roads will never become univer-
sal or popular in the state, because IN
each county conditions will differ, ana
local preiudices and jealousies would De
engendered. Probably the best way is
to allow each road district to oaiid its
own roads, out of funds raised in the dis-
trict, with power on the part oil the
county commissioners to compel IN GER
tain cases the building OF connecting
links on main highways running entirely
through several districts. Many OF the
country roads leading into Centralia are
in a deplorable condition, and some
means should be devised for remedying
the evil.--Centralia News.

PARTISAN POLITICS.

Nobody really believes there would be
any pleasure or satisfaction if the gift
were given Us to see ourselves with
others eyes. Especially is this true OF
the individual on the partisan hobby
horse. He is an immense source Of
pleasure to himself, however sorry a
figure he cuts in the eyes OF the world.
He is principally ridiculous because Of
his objection to working his Thinker. A
thing is SO, because his party says it's so.
No thoughtful man is apt to agree with
all the tenets OF his party's creed; but
the political partisan swallows it whole,
whether It be in Jumps OF free coinage or
solid blocks OF five. Tell him the tariff
is business proposition, has no political
principle involved, and should be settled
in business manner, and he regards you
as a rank hereto, if you happen to in
cline toward his party faith, or as shirk-
ing an issue, if you are Unidentified with
the other party.
The thinking man today is democrat
or republican according as the one or
the other party represents the greatest
number of principles in which he be-
lieves. But the thinking man. is neither
a democrat nor republican, when a
question Of local government Is at stake,
any more than he would be democrat
or republican in choosing on agent to
conduct his private business affairs.
The animal who is fond of stating that he
would rather vote for yaller dog than
republican or a democrat always shows
the length of his ears when he makes
that bray.

Scissor Birds.

We saw two scissor birds at work last
night for the first time. They lit on one
of the fruit trees in the lot OF the Minkler
residence property, and underneath the
limbs Immediately took on the appear
ance of snow storm. Commencing at
the base of limb the bird would pick off
a blossom by its heart, give it shake,
and drop it. Hopping along, the limb
would rapidly be stripped clean. With
these destructive little birds something
will have to be done when Centralia be-
comes the center OF a great fruit raising
country as she is destined to be.-Cen-
tralia News.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-05-07

One OF the commissioners, who strongly
favors the bonding proposition, is using
as lever to pry the bonds out of the tax
payer the argument that if the bonds are
not voted the commissioners can and
will levy 7-mill road and bridge tax
Such tax would be all right with no
bonds voted. But after the bonds are
voted, and we have no roads to show for
them, what is there then to keep the
commissioners from adding this addi-
tional mills? Nothing; and the finan-
cial condition of Chehalis county will be
pitiable.

FIGHT FAIR.

As we understand the law, a sinking

year of one-twentieth OF the 1924 500 road

the bonds can be sold at 5 per cent. per

-Gyays Ha,5or Times.
In the next column but one to this
statement, the Times publishes the call
of the commissioners, which states
Principal payable 20 years after date of
their ISSUE" There can be no excuse
for the Times misunderstanding the mat
ter as it has done. The law distinctly
states: when the amount in the sink
ing fund equals or exceeds the interest
and amount of any bond then due, the
county treasurer shall post in his office a
notice that he will, within thirty DAYS
from the date of such notice, redeem the
bonds then payable" Session Laws,
1890, p. 42.)

be due in 20 years, so that the Tines
statement should be changed to read
