Pay Road Tax In Money.

The fact Is that the taxpayer now
pays enough to build and maintain
good roads, but by being annually cx-
pended in small sums it is not suffi-
cient to complete any one piece of
work. The conclusion reached by
nearly all who have given the mante-
nance and construction of country
roads any thought is that we have
too many road districts and too many
road ovcrSeerS, each of whom attempts
TO carry out his particular idea. If we
were able to collect all road taxes now
levied in cash and eXpend 1t under the
supervision of one road commissioner
or oyerSeer In each township, accord
Ing to plans and specifications made
by the county engineer, we could, with
out any increase in our taxation for
road purposes, secure such results as
we would hope to attain. In fact, we
would have good roads with our pres
ent taxes. The estimate made by cx-
perts-that not to exceed IS cents Of
each dollar levied and collected ever
reaches the roads-is not an eXaggera-
ton.

ROADS OF ILLINOIS.
Farmers Have Changed Their Views
ms to Improvement.

Two years ago the Illinois legislature
refused to pass good roads law. 1t
did so because the farmers did not
want one, although it was proposed
that one-half Of the cost should be Gov
cred by the proceeds of state taxes, of
which the cities and towns pay the
greater part, says the Chicago Trib-
une. But since 1899 many Illinois
farmers have changed their views con-
corning this subject They no longer
believe that good roads are impossible
in Illinois or that even with state aid
their construction will cost the farmers
too much.
The amount Of state aid which it is
proposed shall be given is the annual
proceeds of l mill tax, which will
produce nearly a million dollars. The
ma jority of the business men of Chica-

go probably will not object to the pay
ment of their share of this tax. They
will be inclined to believe that they
will get value received therefor. What
ever unfteS them more closely with
their good customers on the farms ben
efits them in dollars and cents. The
main question is whether the farmers,
who spend considerable money now to
no purpose in tinkering dirt roads, are
willing to stand the taxation some
what heavier at first than the present
rate-which the construction of good.
permanent roads will entail.
The cost will not be SO great as Is
sometimes imagined. 1t is true that
there Is in central Illinois lack of
good road building material. The roads
which, like the Illinois Central. tray
erSe that part of the state will be will
ing to transport these materials for the
bare cost of service. Hard roads are
greatly to their advantage. When con-
structed, the roads Will he able to ship
produce regularly and not intermittent
1y, rs they do now.
That the farmers will be singularly
benefited by hard roads admits of no
dispute. They will get free mail deliv-
cry and the daily paper. They will be
in constant touch with the mark cts.
They will know ut once when prices
are going up and will be able to ship
their produce Immediately. At present
they ship it when they can, and the
price they get for their crops is regu-
lated by the condition of the roads,
which is likely to be bad after Novem-
Der, rather than by the market price.

Cost of Good ROads.

As to the cost of the road, that de
ponds upon 50 many conditions that it
would he impossible for me to tell. 1t
depends largely upon the cost of the
stone, which embraces the quarrying
and hauling. The cost OF hauling de
ponds upon the distance and the quar-
rying upon the condition of the stone
In the quarry. The crushing, however,
with portable crusher will cost about
20 or % cents per cubic yard. Where
the stone is furnished free of charge
and the haul is not over a mile or two,
aud not including the cost of grading or
preparing the roadbed, the stone CON
structlon can be made from $1,000 to
s.. 800 per mile.

New York's Road Convention.

State Engineer Bond is receiving en-
couraging reports in regard to the pro-
spective attendance at the good roads
convention to be held in Albany on
Aug. II and II under his supervision.
Nearly 40 boards of supervisors, repre-
senting as many counties, have ap-
pointed delegates to the convention.
and In some cases the entire board of
supervisors has resolved to attend the
convention. Quite body Of individual
delegates Is coming.
The state engineer will have care
fully prepared statement to submit to
the convention in regard to the work
done by his department in the improve
ment Of the roads of the state accom-
panied by lantern slides to show the
roads in their first condition and after
their improvement and the processes of

The larger wholesale dealers. the fruit
canneTies and the factories have been the
most seriously affected so far. Most OF
the small commission houses and other
business esta bIishments having their own
teamsters were able to get their freight
moved this morning. but this fact has
scarcely any percepubie effect on the
situation one consequence Of the strike
and not the lesst serious. IS the abrupt
fall in the prices OF farm and orchard
products Potatoes and fruit suffered the
most in this respect. and it IS the I'm
possibility q moving large quantities OF
peaches. pears and plurns made these
commodities almost unstable at the
wharves this morning
