be given to every phase and feature Of
the business, social and educational life
Of America"
In personal to the Southern Farm
Magazine bearing on this subject Colonel
Killebrew adds:
"Why should the States and counties
of this country be called upon to build
roads to be used by the United States
government in the transportation OF
mails and army supplies?
"Why is IL not as much the duty OF
the general government to provide such
roads as 1t is to provide postofiice build
ings or other public buildings?
ut occurs to me that the people Of the
United States have fallen into sloVenly
way Of thinking about the duty OF the
government in this particular. No good
reason can be assigned why the govern
ment should not build roads that may
not be assigned why the State and county
should not build roads. Equity would
demand that everyone using the roads
should contribute to their maintenance.
It took many centuries for the people Of
England to learn that justice demanded
that the government should construct
the principal highways in the country
It was the grossest injustice to impose
this burden upon the country people liv-
ing along the highways, and this injus-
tice, so keenly felt by them, produced
rebellion in many districts before the
government was aroused to the perform
ance Of its duty in this particular. It
was strange that while the commerce be-
tween the great cities of England was a
hundred times greater on the roads con-
Meeting these cities than the country
traffic, yet the country people were forced
to build the roads and keep them in re-
pair"
The Southern Farm Magazine, in pub
fishing this article, recognizes the fact
that 1t is likely to provoke very general
discussion, much opposition and much
commendation, and it has invited gen.
eral discussion of the subject as to its
constitutionality, as well as regards the
wisdom Of such an innovation, appre-
Ciating the fact that the value Of good
roads has not in any way been overstated
by Colonel Killebrew, and that the farm
ers would be the ones most directly BEN

Many or these boy warriors with years

a famous family called the GCrdiau.
The head Of the Gordian had been ap-

precedent, it by no means slavishly fol-
low it. In fact, it often leads IL. A
novel proposition in regard to trans
p%ortation by rail that is now being dis
the sphere of practical politics in one
of the colonies is calculated to give
conservative hereditary legislators "A
sever shock. The proposition is that
a uniform rate should be charged on
the railways for both freight and pas
irrespective of distance. The
proposal ooks at first a little startling.
but the more it is examined the more
feasible it appears. Its advocates pro-
pose to carry a passenger one journey
as far as he likes to go for one shilling
t25 cents), and to hau freight from any
point in the interior to the seaboard or
vice versa for five shillings ($1.25) a ton.
1t must be remembered that the rail-
ways, as also the telegraphs. are owned
and operated by the government. The
lands also of the interior, which are
more valuable than those on the coast
for wool growing, are principally owned
by the government and let on lease to
the sheep owners. The rental of these
lands is small owing to the long and
expensive LAM carriage to the point of
shipment for wool, mutton and beef,
and the lessees would willingly pay
largely enhanced rentals for the pro-
posed reduction in freight. Estimates
have been prepared from which the
advocates of the new proposed claim

government lands would more than
