ing electric railways in the country,
and to allow them to carry freight
as well as passengers. One of these
bills intends to cover the decision of
the Supreme Court made some more
than a year ago when it held that
townships had no right to grant
franchises to trolley companies to
build along the highways without
obtaining consent of adjoining prop
erty owners.
These railways can be built with
comparatively little cost and can
traverse sections of the country
where steam railways cannot go.
They are great aids to the prosper
ity of the country and their build
ing should be encouraged. However
care should be exercised that they
are built under proper restrictions
Iu time they may and doubtless will
become very valuable property and
the privilege of building them should
not be granted without some efiici-
ent safeguards for the future pro-
lection of the public.
The companies in time could af-
ford to pay compensation for these
valuable rights and such provisions
should be made in granting them
that in the future the people would
be fairly protected and enabled to
reap some substantial gain in the
way of compensation.
These bills may cover the ground
and give both the trolley companies
and the people full protection.

by the national banks to the pm value
Of tEeir bonds and a reduction Of the
tax on circulation. They also recon-
mend additional banking currency, based
on assets, under national supervision,
safe, elastic and redeemable in gold. and
the establishment Of banks with a capi-
tai Of $50, 0O0 or more in small towns
aud villages. The one important thing
is that they demand action. The future
Of the currency question is very dark,

couraging, and that is the appearance
among the classes directly suffering
from the free silver agitation Of an or
eanized effort at currency reform. That

The indications are that the pre-

present law was passed in 1887 and
was based on the census of 1880
There should have been a change
made after the census of 1890 but
the plain mandate of the law has
been disregarded, and probably will
be to the advantage of some counties
which would be entitled to less re
presentation than they now have,
and the disadvantage of some en-
titled to larger We know of no
good reason why the matter should
be neglected, and in fairness and

EDITORIAL.

THE HAMILTON ROAD LAW
This act should it finally become
a law will apparently effect a radi-
cal change in the system Of working
our roads, and also in the amount OF
tax which can be levied. Under it
no more than 10 mills can be levied
unless the Board of Supervisors, by
unanimous consent, make applica-
ton to the Court showing why the
additional tax should be levied. and
giving the citizens an opportunity to
be heard in opposition. Now the
Supervisors may levy special tax
to pay debts due former incum-
bents, and under the present law,
unless a Supervisor is large tax
payer which is rarely the case, if he
spends the necessary time on the
roads he is bound to have bill
against the township to be paid in
cash. We venture to say that
there are few districts in this county
where the Supervisor does not at
the end of his term have Il balance
due him from the township, so that
the people are practically paying a
cash road tax every year now.
Under the new law the duties of
---~-.l-s-. IL --1---i -
Road Masters, who are not elected
but appointed by the Supervisors
If the people elect good business
men as Supervisors they will see
that the road masters are men of
intelligence, and competent to do
the work in a proper manner.
1t is fact that the money to a
great extent now used on our roads
is wasted. This cannot be gain said
by any body, and if any plan can be
devised and carried into operation
which will compel an intelligent and
workmanli1e expenditure of the
money, it will be a gain, and the
roads will be improved. We think
the farmers are bearing as great a
burden of taxes as they are able,
but, can any one say that they are
or have been using their Judgment
in the election of Supervisors, or in
sisting that their money shall be so
expended as TO make permanent
improvements on the roads. If they
have not, then this improvidence
should be checked for their own
benefit, and the wasteful system
abandoned, Certain it is that the
roads do not show any material inn
provements from year to year of a
permanent character. They remind
us of man hauling sand who at
great labor and trouble got his sand
loaded and started up a hill with the
tail board of the wagon out When
he reached the top of the hill the
sand had all leaked out of the wagon
body Now the man would have been
called fool, and justly, if he re-
peated the same experiment, and
yet the same plan of throwing dirt
in the roads and having it washed
out by the first shower has been T =
peated from time immemorial.
Every year you put your money in
the road to find it in a short time
down in some field or lying along
side. The Hamilton bill may not
be perfection, but it is a step to-
ward establishing guardianship
over the money which taxpayers
persist in fiinging away on the pre-
tense of working roads.
