make them practical eertainties, and
are the same character of probabili-
ties as those constantly relied on by
sound, conservative business men.
Many citizens advocate the pay
ment for road building by increas-
ed taxation and on the "pav-as-you-
go" plan. 1t is conceded that no
increase in taxation that could be
borne by the people would give us
the above suggested roads or a like
number of miles in time for the
present generation to enjoy them;
for only n little could be done each
year, and that in the old, wasteful,
unscientific manner. A large part
Of the money would still go (Rnd of
necessity TO filling up gullies snd
mud holes for the next rain TO rein
state. But suppose we appropriate
a part of the "pay-as-you-go" plan
and increase the tax for road pur-
poses just a little, 10 cents on the
hundred. At present assessed values
this would give us an additional
$2500.00 per year. An increase OF
20 cents, making the road tax so
cents instead of 80 cents as il now
is. aud the picture becomes all the
brighter. Ito this we add the GER
tain increase in values above sug-
gested, 1t will be seen that we would
not only have fine roads but an
abundance of money 10 pay for them
10 pay interest charges and to keep
them in repair. The county would
neAer feel the expense, and it can be
done at the present rate OF taxation.
When we consider the matter in
the light of these figures, we see
that the plan suggested is a feasible
one from the puelry business stu nd
point of "Cau we pay for them'".
In the foregoing, no account has
been taken of the immense advant-
age the roads suggested would be TO
the County. In fact, il is impos-
sible To- compute it. Instead OF
leaving the next generation a debt,
as has been suggested, there would
be left to il legacy moIo valuable
than any other, this generation can
leave it. Who can estimate th Q
value of the saving of time, weai
and tear of teams and vehicles and
OF the increase i'm the earnings of
men and teamsi IL the milage
could be better. distributed, so much
the better. but those suggestions as
TO what roads might be macadam-
lied are made as practical possibili-
ties.
We must remember fact that is
historically true, that no great work
of public Improvement has ever been
done except on q bonded debt.
EACH ONE OF THEM IS EXPECTED TO
HELP PAY FOR ITSELF, Rs the extra

the destruction OF the offices with their
fine equipment of delicate balances.
The raiders did not hesitate to 1eop-

ings were also occupied by sleeping
families. AS it was. men, women and
children were hurled out their beds
by the shocks and serious injuries In
ticted. The full extent Of the damage
