FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

The San Francisco Chronicle" we'll
says that the good road agitation be-
gan in cities, and has had it's greatest
Vigor IN them; that residents Of cities
make far more use of country roads
than ruralists make of city streets, and
that it is an economic proposition that
cities should be taxed with the country
for the building of State roads. Indeed,
the Chronicle" goes 50 far as to say
that it believes cities viii make more
by good permanent roads than will
farmers. 1T adds the thought that there
are very few taxes the incidence Of
which are exactly just. SO far as that
IS concerned the question of the justice
OF a tax of all property for the good Of
all is Illustrated in the school tax,
which falls upon all alike, and calls
upon bachelors as well as parents. Yet
no one objects to the school taX. be-
cause every one realizes that it is for
common good. In precisely the same
sense a tax for a State road system
should be viewed. Moreover, expert
cnce is proving the wisdom of State
systems, and the inefficiency and un
economic character Of unrelated and
disassociated county systems. Cali
fornia is TO be made inviting far more
by improving rural than municipal
conditions. Our municipalities are not
the inducements we offer to promote
desirable immigration.

Leading distilers Of the United States
