This law provides that all road tax
shall be paid in cash. One.half Of all
money paid from the several road dis.
tricts constitutes Il county road fund
and is divided equally among the com.
missioners to be expended IN each
commissioner district for the construc.
ton and repair of bridges, culverts,
etc. The other half is returned to the
road district from which it Is collected
to be expended in that road district. 1t
will be seen from the above that each

money to eXpend in his district and
that one has no advantage over an.

A Correction.

In referring to the A. U. U. W. and
their committee in last weeks CHIEF,
especially In the manner in which it
WAS done, reflections were cast that
were certainly due to misinformatiOn.
The writer has been informed that the
news ~ got into the columns through
garrulity and subtlety Of the culprit in
the case, from the apparent desire to
bring the lodge, and particularly the
committee, in a false light before the
community and to screen himself from
the just disapprOval Of all mentioned.
When a fox cannot outrun he tries to
evade and throw his pursuers of his
track, even At the expense of some
other fox. This he did.
Were the facts in this case made
public the accused would hide his face
in shame, had he any Of that rare arti-
Gle, which is altogether too scarce in
men Of his class. Idstead OF hiding
his disgrace he has published it with
his Owl tongue and accused others of
1t. The CHIEF has, doubtless, been to
blame in publishing anything from so
doubtful n source, but we shall hope
that this trick will not catch them
asleep again. As to the men men
toned by The CHIEF, they are ineligi.
BILE TO the order under any and all pre-.
texts, as long as engaged in their pres.
ent business, Notwithstanding some
who patron re them, and others not so
honorable, are illegally allowed to re
main in the lodge.
The CHIEF should swallow its bitter
draught in being so %cunningly led into
a trap, and the a. u. U. W. should
"clean up" and give no excuse for q
repetition of any of these dlsagreeable
and d~isgraceful occurrences. X. M.
