Labor We. Money Tax.

At nearly every one of the elections
in the towns of New York where the
labor tax is still in vogue the question
of changing to money tax will be
submitted to the people. Under the old
system each town has highway COM
missioner, each mile of road an over
seer Of highways. so that there is diff
ferent character of road making for
each mile Of highway throughout the
entire State. This labor system is the
worst collection Of Anticipated and use
less ideas that could well be brought
ing nothing, and this is exactly what
it has accomplished. Nothing has been
done for the highways Of the State to-
ward permanent improvement in the
100 years that it has been in operation.
The adoption of the money system
throughout the entire State will place
the care of the $4,000 miles of highway
in charge of 1000 highway commission
ers, having the direct expenditure of
ut least $1,5OOOOO in cash, which ex-
penditure will be watched zealously by
the taxpayers, whereas under the old
system the 1000 highway commission
ers had charge of the $4,000 overseers,
Who could not attend to the work on
the highways except when it was i'm
possible to do any other class of farm
work. No progress has ever been
made in road improvement in any To-
cality until the labor tax has been con-
verted into a cash tax and the money
expended intelligently under compe-
tent highway commissioners. - Good

sage at this session of Congress. This
result was not unexpected by its
| friends. Our National Legislature is
slow to adopt new ideas. and to make
new application of old principles; in di-
rectons in which it has formed the
habit Of giving it is generosity itself.
but in other directions it is parSimo-
NOUS to fault. The appropriation of
$50 100000 for river and harbor inn
provement for 1903 went through al
most as q matter of course, but Con-
gress SHE'D at the similar proposition
to expend $2O,OOO,O0O for road improve
ment Yet, curiously enough, the APP
preparation for river and harbor I'M
provement was made possible by the
national road movement Of a century
ago.
In the early part of the last century
bitter battle was fought to a finish
between those who believed that the
Federal Government should undertake
internal improvements and those who
held the opposite view the building of
Il national road being the actual bone
of contention. The former won, and
for thirty-two years, 1S0G-1S3S. the
work of building the Cumberland or
National Road, from Maryland to
Wheeling, and then on to Illinois, with
sections further west went on by fits
and starts. Then with the birth of
steam travel the work stopped short,
cov hi,fx-
aid in highway construction was with
held while it was giving empires as
subsidies to western railroads and
kings ransoms annually to make the
waterways suitable for steamers, the
appropriations for the latter purpose
having been S13O,O00,00O in the last
seven years alone.
Two years ago the Federal Govern
ment, aroused by the general discon-
tent with the condition of our high
ways. resumed in a tentative way the
work of road building by cooperating
with railroads and local authorities in
building object lesson roads. To-day
the people are asking for something
more, viz, that the same treatment
shall be accorded to the highways used
by the. whole people as to the water
ways that are used by and directly
benefit only small portion of the pop
ulaticn. To-day the request is denied,
but tomorrow it will be repeated, for
the people see what Congress appar-
emily does not yet see-that the great
est national problem is how to reduce
the enormous waste of time and
money that is the result of bad roads.
If we are to compete upon equal terms
with the producers of Europe we must
no longer be handicapped by paying
three times as much for road hauling
as is paid in Europe. The Constitution
Of the United States gives Congress the
authority to establish post roads. and
with the spread of rural mail delivery
all roads will become post roads. The
Federal Government has the right, as
it has the money, to assist materially
in solving the good roads problem, and
it will not be long before Congress will
not dare to evade it's responsibility in
this dircction.-Good Roads Magazine.

CUTOFF SEEMS PROBABLE
Railroad Men Believe Rock Island
VIII Shorten It's Line Near
Atlantic.

While local oficlals declare they know
nothing OF the rumored cutof of the Rock
Island between Atlantic and Council Bluffs,
there Is a we'll defined idea in railroad
circles that the cutoff will be built within
the year,
At present the road has a party OF sur
veyors working over the line between
Avoca and Council Bluffs, although 1t is
thought that any change in the track
would extend from Atlantic, which Is
twenty miles further east AS the road
now is, there are several heavy grades
and II cuts far to the south and loses be-
tween twelve and fifteen miles. With the
shortening OF other lines and the reduc-
tions in grade Il follows naturally that
the Rock Island should keep in line and
improve its Chicago Omaha line so that
It can meet any schedules that the other
roads can put On when all of their i'm
provements are finished.
The expense of the cutoff would be quite
considerable, but 1t would pay railroad
men, say, because of the reduction in cost
Of handling trains over less miles of tracks
and the lesser grades that would be en-
countered on this same portion of track.

Telephone Company Gets ON Union
Pacihc's Right of Way Near
Lodge Pole.

A local telephone company at Sidney.
which was building a line from that point
to Lodge Pole has been hindered In
the early completion of the line owing to
its having unwittingly started to place
portion Of the lin on the right OF way OF the
Union Pacific. A portion OF the line had
already been built. being placed three feet
outside of the Union Pacific right OF way
but in the vincinity of Lodge Pole the right
OF way broadened out and the builders
were not aware OF 1t until they were Hoti-
fed of the fact Work had been performed
on about nine miles of this widened right
of way and 1t was necessary for all of this
to be done over
The local offices OF the Union Pacific
know little of the matter beyond the fact
that the action OF the telephone company
in digging post holes on their right of way
was told to them and orders were sent to
have the company undo it's work.

BURT COUNTY is ON A BOOM

TEKAMAH. Neb., May II. 1sO3-To the
Editor of Tho Bee; Last year Burt county
made thousands OF dollars of permanent
improvements. In Tekamah over $4,000
were put into permanent improvements
and this year will fully equal last. Be
sides a drainage petition has been filed
by the parties who own the wet ana
grass lands on the east side of the county,
known as the Missouri river bottom, and
accepted by the county board. The engineer
has been ordered to make the fnal sur
vey and estimates, This system of drain
age when completed at a cost OF about
$4,000 will add many thousands to the
wealth OF the county and, in u commercial
sense, will be OF great value to Tekamah
for all time TO come There is now
strong hope that an electric railway will
be built In the near future between De-
catur and Tekamah, as a part of the road
now being surveyed between Sioux City
and Omaha.
Craig, Oakland and Lyons last year en-.
joyed the same prosperity as Tekamah
and this year there will be no stop. The
railroad surveyed from Sioux City TO
Lyons, Oakland, Fremont and Lincoln IS
causing a general good feeling and there
are strong hopes now that It viii be built
A word as to Burt county and its citizens:
we nave not enough litigation In our
courts to pay our sheriff decent salary.
besides he has no deputy. On the other
hand, our county clerk and treasurer after
paying their salaries and their deputies
will have a handsome surplus to turn into
the county general fund. Our entire county
Indebtedness Is $4,000 OF S% per cent bonds.
Our levy last year for county purposes
was ten mills. There was much extra
expense on bridges on account of the wet
season, but still we have over $4,000 in
cash in our county funds, which makes
the average taxpayer of our county both
happy and proud.
