Aoaicf Him

TOO YOUNG FOR THE JAIL
Two Boys, and Years Old, Confess
Stealing a VeiocIpede and Other
Articles,

Tommy Ryan, 7-year-old brother of
Patsy Ryan, who was sentenced to the
state training school a. few weeks ago,
and John Rolfe, 6 years Of age, were
picked UP by an officer yesterday. They
admitted to Superintendent Of Police E.
F. Waite that they had stolen a veloci-
pede, toy wagon and a lot Of cigars.
They told the whole story, but as they
are too young to be taken into court
nothing can be done with the case.
It is thought that the boys were men,
bers Of the gang Of youngsters who did
so much stealing in the neighborhood of
Twelfth street and Nicollet avenue a few
weeks ago. An effort will be made to
get the boys committed to the state school
at Owatonna.

NOT FACT NOR FAIR

Tribune's Attacks Upon the

should be made the object Of continued
scurrilous attacks by the Tribune we are
unable to explain said President T. F.
Quinby of the board of education this
morning in discussing a particularly mis-
leading and bitter editorial utterance.
1.-The people Of Minneapolis are proud Of
their schools and they have been praised
by the most prominent educators in the
country and hence we are the more sur
prised and panied that one of our daily
papers should be so disloyal to the schools
and to the city.
I'm an editorial this morning on, The
Clever School Board the members are
charged with being cunning with having
fooled the Commercial club and with at
tempting to deceive the board Of tax levy
which attempt was frustrated by the
watchfulness OF Controller Rogers-in the
matter of estimates for the coming year.
We, the school board, are accused of hav-
ing asked for three or four times as
much money as it needed and it may still
get two or three times as much as it
needs, if the people should vote the bonds
asked for
There has been no deception whatever.
It is simply a lie when it is stated that we
asked for three or four times as much
money as we needed, a lie on the face
| of it.

ROADS A HEAVY TAX


lives on such a miserable trail called a
road that the route cannot be establish
ed, since no one would undertake it for
the small pay allowed for such routes.
Then too, there are plenty of business
men in all our towns who would like to
have homes in the country TO which they
could drive in the evening. but the roads
in most places are so bad that they stay
in town and the lands remain unsold and
unimproved as the town merchant would
improve his home Farmers from off the
improved roads of Raleigh township come
into Raleigh with quarter TO half cord
of wood on wagon, when on the hard
roads they could easily haul cord, and
have often wondered If the time of
these men is worth anything TO them.
In the city we see the draymen trotting
about with four bales of cotton on one
horse, and the horse pulls them easily.
Then We see the farmer coming in with
single bale on horse or two on a pair
of horses. 1t takes the time of one man
to haul o bale where the city dray1nan
hauls four, and the farmer could haul
four II the roads were good. All this tax
of wear and tear of team and waste of
time has to be paid for out of the cotton,
and though he may not seem TO feel it
at the time, in the long run the farmer
pays a heavier tax for having bad roads
than it would cost him to have them

per are lost and the money value of these
is hard to estimate. We once drove
from Raleigh to Durham across Crabtree
east of Morrisville. For miles the road
was a broad trench of red clay, and the
road members had just been along as
usual throwing more red mud in the
middle of the road until it finally got so
heavy that our team pulled the double
tree in two and we had to cut a sapling
to mend it, On both sides OF this red
mud trench the fields were macadamized
with broken rocks ready for a road, and
in some places the small rock We're piled
ND along the roadside. And yet the
road members threw clay in the middle
OF the road while there were rock enough
TO fill the whole road two feet deep and
to have made it good for a Lifetime. The
mending was a tax simply thrown away,
and worse than thrown away, for it made
the road worse and increased the taxes
the users were paying in wagons and
team and time. There is another matter
connected with good roads, and this Is
the getting free mail delivery. One of
the greatest obstacles to the development
of the rural free mail delivery is the con-
dition of most of our country roads dur
ing large part of the year The free
delivery of the mail daily would put the
farmer in touch with the world, would
enable him TO have his daily paper and
to mail letters more frequently. But he

To the Editor; 1t would seem that no
argument would be needed TO convince
any one of the great benefit TO be Sc
cured TO the whole community and espe-
eially TO the farmers from the construe-
tion of good roads And yet there is no
class of the community that more quick
ly opposes any special tax for the
making of such road than the farmers
The fact is that the farmers OF the whole
country are paying more taxes Tor Keep
ing the roads bad than would be required
to make the best of macadam roads
everywhere. The taxes that are worked
out in mending the roads, and generaiiy
making them worse, are but small part
of the tax The great tax which the pad
roads impose on the farmer are the
wrecking OF wagons, the wearing OUT OF
teams before their time, the awful waste
OF time in hauling half or fourth OF a
load when a full load could be hauled
more easily on a good road And TO this
the loss of value on the farm because OF
the often impossible state of the roads.
A farm on a good smooth road may not
be worth a cent more for the production
of crop than the one on a bad road. But
the one on the good road will bring sew
eral dollars more per acre II sold, and Is
really worth more by reason OF the less
tax on it as shown above. Wagons break
down, teams are worn out, time and tenn
