MORE LIGHT ON THE ROAD
QUESTION

EDITOR HERALD:-I have been Civ
ing some attention to the discussion
which has for some time been going on
i'm the press of this county on the sub
ject Of bonding the county for the build
ing of roads. Here and there one finds
an article directed to the point in con-
troversy, but most Of the writing on the
subject has either purpOsely or other
wise been calculated to lead the minds
of the people away from the important
point i'm the controversy and to carry
the matter by exciting the feelings and
prejudices Of the people rather than by
appealing to their good business judg-
ment.
Some have been foolish enough to
say that the railroad companies were
opposed TO the bonding scheme because
they do not want wagonroads to come
i'm competition with the railroads. This
is exceedingly absurd, for the business
OF the railroads depends almost wholly
upon the settlement and development
Of the country through which they run
and the ease and facility with which
freight and passengers can reach their
stations and depOts. The truth is that
there is no class Of people so thoroughly
favorable to good roads and general de-
velopment Of the country as are those
who are interested in and responsible
for the business success Of the railroads.
The truth is, further, that there is no
class Of people who understand the
| building of roads and the best manner
Of securing something for the money
they expend, as the people who build
railroads.
There is not anybody to be found i'm
this county who does not sincerely
desire the construction of good roads
and plenty of them, and yet the the at
! tempt has been made TO place this dis
cussion on that ground by every one OF
| the advocates Of the bond system so far
az have read their communications
There are not a few of the writers on
the subject who are just now manifest
ing most surprising interest in the
poor farmer, and it is said that he ought
to have bonds voted in order "that hC
may make farming profitable and so
cial life possible" The profitable farm
ing comes in ] suppose as a necessity tC
enable the farmer to pay the $44,OO'
taxes annually which will be required
to foot the bond bills. The social lif'
will consist, probably, in gatherings t.

CoNTENTMENTi

FAIRHAvEN, Wash, Feb. 20, 1892.
EDITOR OF THE HERALD: Does MIR.
J. j. Donovan intend to put us where
poor Ireland is today? He writes
about making social life possible.
According TO his writings he Is thirty
years behind in social reforms.
If the $500, 900 he mentions had been
spent for turnpiking or macadamizing
our streets the next generation would
have some benefit from them. At
present about half of his plank streets
lay idle and rot, and the most of them
have no grade at all Seattle is about
So ,OOO,O 900 in debt What have they In
return for it? If the 81 ,S0O,O 900 spent in
railroad construction had been Spent i'm
getting first-class grade, Mr.. j. j.
Hill would find it less difficult to oper-
ate the Fairhaven d Southern railroad,
and we would have him cornered to-
day on his terminus question.
! can prove that the present statute
on road bond matters is not legal, be-
cause the supreme court has held that
on demand Of the actual settler the
road tax must be applied on the road
over which ne travels 10 the pOstollice
or market, and the commissioners can
not spend his road tax before they
satisfy him. When he refers TO au-
thorlty he maguifics them high up
cockncys i'm the queens government
Ours Is absolute, local; only in union
is there strength against a foreign
enemy.
When ] settled on my homestead
nine years ago / built over one mile Of
road myself II was good enough for
me as long as ] travelled over il myself.
What has the spcculator or uon-resi-
dent done for the county? The records
show that they have not paid taxes at
all, and now the Bellingham Bay
Improvement Company wants $50, 900
damages because some cnterpri-ing
company wants to associate with US.
II is rather iuuny, for an acre Of
ground
Mr. f. Eldrdge was chairman Of
the board Of the county commissioners
at the time they let out piece of road
in the northern part Of the county for
90 cents per rod IL is paSsablc the
year around today. They had about
~ 900 road tax 10 work with ] claim
If he compares that time with the last
year or two, there would bc little cause
10 "stick in the mudn Where, on the
other hand, the present board of COM
missiOncr5 has not given satisfaction
i'm the Lyndcn ditch contract nor in
the plank road, according to his state
ment they have blown i'm SsO,OOO be
sides. The road overseer is actually
rcpairer. He has 10 give am account Of
every dollar he pays out.
But ! suppose Mr.. Donovan knows
what became of the $500 10 build the
Lake Padden road with? There is no
use for him to hope and expect to build
up commercial, mining and manu-
featuring industries" with prairie
farmers. They will mock him with
his idea of exchanging their homes for
100 acres Of timber land. Why does he
not advise 10000 Of the 5000 city peo-
pie to put in their spare time in inn
proving and grow up with the coun-
try? ! hope ! will see the day when
these United States will sweep out this
European bondage system, which only
creates "a lot Of political bummers.
Yours for enterprise,
