ENFORCE THE LAW.

Mayor Lucas of Star City

enforced anywhere in the

medical authorities to be
most deadly, and the time is
swiftly coming when the
cigarette user will not be
employed in many lines Of

HOW TO SECURE THE MEANS TO
TUILD GOOD ROADS.

we now come W Iuc llloSI Nl'"i
part of our subject, and In treat
inc it we will consider the various
means which are now in vogue
and those which have been used
in the past and the success OF
each.
In the United States there has
been a number of methods adopt.
ed by which the people have at
tempted to build up the public
roads, and we have
First: The system of COM
polling the male inhabitants be-
tween certain ages to work a
specified number of days in each
wear; second: The toll roads;
third: Taxes voted by the peo-
pie; fourth: Appropriations by
the general government fifth:
The issuing of bonds by the state,
county or road district ID .
! The first method has been in
use from time immemorial. 1t IS
a relic, of the old English system
of road working. The first colo
nists transported it with them
from the mother country centuries
ago, and it has every since found
a prominent place in the codes OF
almost every state in the union.
This method of road. building has
always been a failure. 1t is an
tagonistic to the spirit OF our
institutions. Up to very recent
date, and for more than a half a
century back of that, every able
bodied boy in our state was COM
PEELED to work at least five days
each year after he had reached
his eighteenth birthday. Those
who were not citizens-not al
lowed to vote or hold office-have
been taxed to keep up the public
roads. Such method has been
and always will be a failure.
When we reflect seriously upon
this matter it is surprising how
long and patiently the people
have borne with this method OF
taxation. The large property
holders and in fact the wealthy
of the country reap the greatest
benefit from the use of the public
roads, yet those great moneyed
interest Of our state have never
been required to contribute one
cent towards keeping them up.
In Arkansas the roads have been
built and maintained by the peo-
pie who own only ten per cent Of
the property of the state. This
method is wrong and should not
be continued. 1t was such a
great failure in England that it
was abandoned long years ago.
Macauly states in his History
of England that zone chief cause
of the badness Of the roads seems
to have been tho defective state
of the law" Every parish was
bound to repair the highways
which passed through it. The
peasantry were forced to give
them gratuitous labor six days in
a year. He says that, ga route
connecting two great towns,
which have a large and thriving
trade with each other, should be
maintained at the cost of the
rural population scattered between
them is obviously unjust; and
this injustice is peculiarly glazing
in the case of the great North
road, which traverses very poor
and thinly inhabited districts,
and joined by very rich and
populous districts. Soon after
Che Restoration this grievance at
tracted the notice of parliament.
A change was at length effected,
but not without much difficulty.
For unjust and absurd taxation
to which mon are accustomed is
often borne far more willingly

house of representatives, and
Senator Penrose, in the senate,
have introduced bills appropri-
ating $1,000, 900 for the building
of public roads in the several
states of the United States, the
appropriation to be applied to
each state in proportion to the
mileage Of roads within the state,
to be used exclusively for the
building of permanent roads un-
der the direction of the Depart
ment Of agriculture. These bills
are fathered by the League of
American Wheelmen, which has
done more to forward the interests
Of bicycle riders than all the other
organizations put together. 1t is
not likely that the money will be
appropriated at this session of
congress, but the leaven will
work, and if the national govern
ment will aid the states in this
matter we may in few years
see the mud paths which now
