in money, as they know that better
results will follow. The farmers will
almost unanimously fight increased
taxes and bonds. The pathmasters
should be done away with and the
township system substituted. With
the latter, the work can be done
where it is most needed.
Geo. T. Barr said that the commit.
tee had not favored bond issue or in
creased taxation. 1t had asked Mr..
Choate not to advocate this. Some
members favored constitutional
change to create state fund.
Mr.. Hall said that the matter
would be of slow growth, and that
patience would be required. The eff
fort should be to have the money that
is raised, properly expended. One mis-
take was to have so many pathmas-
tiers there.
Mr.. Currier said that a farmer is
credited So day for work on his tax
and can hire work done at So day.
1t would be better for the taxes to
be reduced cone-third, and have Sc
paid in money instead of SO in work.
The special committee on good
roads was discharged, and the mat
ter left in the hands of the road and
bridge committee, on motion of Mr..
Barr.
Aid Andrews offered the following
resolution which was adopted:
ResOlved, That we are in hearty ac-
cord with the citizens of Rapidan and
adjacant towns in the laudable effort
to secure the building of a bridge ac-
cross the LeSueur river at the point
known as Red Jacket, and that we re-

THAT GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

Referring to the GOOu roaus coH
vention, and the jealousy exhibited by
few. the Good Thunder Herald says
"The fact of the matter is that the
country districts sent a representa-
tive to that convention composed OF
some of the broad and liberal gagged
farmers within the county, instructed
to work for the best interest OF the
county, and rather than being act
uated by fealing of Jealousy
against our more pretentious town
they were governed more by the
wishes of the people, and rather than
impose a heavy system of taxation
and the issuing of bonds they could
do little else than to oppose the
move. Another thing that was taken
exception to was the admitting of
twin city delegates, a thing entirely
foreign to local convention"
This statement of the Herald as re-
CARDS large portion of the delegation
from the country is perfectly true.
They were among the most lntelll-
gent, broad gagged men we have. But
there were few built to the othre
extreme who looked upon every move
made by Mankato man, as being &C.
tuated by pure selfishness, and sim
pie desire to benefit this city only.
But Mankato realizes, and has real
lied for a long time that any move
which will bring good roads will bene-
fit the county and surrounding vii
lagos to as full or greater an extent,
than the city. That Mankato expects
to gain somewhat from good roads is
matter of fact, just as Good Thunder
would expect to be the gamer, if good
hard roads should be built into it,
over which travel would go at all
times despite the weather.
In the second place there has been
no desire on the part of the city to
impose any 'heavy system of taxation
and the issuing of bonds" upon the
people. This was something such
gathering could not do, were it so dis
posed. But any such taxation or
bonds would rest as heavily upon the
city as the country and we know of
no desire to increase the burden here.
In the third place the Herald is en-
tirely mistaken in it's statement as to
the admitting of twin city delegates.
There were no twin city delegates,
and no attempt made to admit any
one from the twin cities as delegate.
Mr.. Choate was was here simply on
invitation to address the gathering
upon good roads because he is well
posted upon that subject, and no one
outside of the Herald ever thought of
abiding to him as delegate, and he
took no part in the convention aside
from his address. The object of the
covention was simply to confer as to
how our highways could be best i'm
proved, and surely this is subject in
which all ought to be interested and
work together for, whether they live
in city or country. Mankato has no
desire to dictate, nor has it in any
way done so. 1t much prefers to
work in connection with the country
for the general good of all.

This experience is like that OF all who

friitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
