Build Your Own Roads.

We still entertain the hope that our next Leg
islature may not wholly ignore the universal de-
mand Of the people for better roads.-lIartford
Herald.
The last General Assembly labored
patiently, industriously and efficiently in
the enactment Of general road law
which should cover all the ground and
give all the relief in this direction that
is possible under the provisions of the
Constitution. The General Assembly
did all that is possible in the premises,
that is, enable the people to help them
selves, as shown by section 10 Of the law
aforesaid, viz:
Sec. 10. The fiscal court shall have full power
and authority TO levy an ad valorem tax, for
road and bridge purposes, of not exceeding
twenty five cents per year on each one hundred
dollars worth Of property, assessed for State
and county taxation, to be collected in the same
manner, by the same officers, and under the
same obligations as other county revenue Is coll
lected, and the fund shall be designated as the
"Road and Bridge Fund.
Here is full and complete authority to
every county in the State toimmediately
INACCURATE a system which will build
and maintain as many and as good roads
as the people are willing to pay for. II,
however, the clamor for additional legis-
lation on the subject is suggested by
hope that the State will lend material
aid in building and maintaining roads,
that clamor may as well cease. The
State will never pay one dollar from the
public treasury for roads; that system
has been tried, and the experiment was
a grand failure. So the sooner the PEG.
Pile of any county, who are suffering fol
the want Of good roads, put section 10 OF
the new road law into practical effect
the sooner will good roads be built and
maintained. The General Assembly
can do no more in the premises than has
been done-enable the people 10 help
themselves. frankfort Capital.
