the amount owned by this class Of
persons is as much as one-th1rd, ther
of the $4,000 raised on country prop.
erty, $4,000 would be paid by persons
who reside in towns. This will leave
the sum Of $4,000 as the amount pa1o
by persons actually living In the coun.
try; or of the entire amount OF $l3,OOt
raised by q two mill levy, people ac-
tually living in the country would pay
| less than one-third.
Now. to digress to another branch Of
the subject: Numerous reasons can be
advanced not only as to the neces-
sity but also as to the benefits to be
derived by improving our roads. II
has been stated repeatedly, and be.
lieve it, that an improved system OF
roads in York county would enhance
the value Of agricultural lands 5O pei
cent, and I call your attention to; 8
| proposition in connection with this
and 1t Is, that we want Is to have
our farm lands improved, and made
more productive. l am sure that II
needs no argument to convince you
that lands are kept up and improved
| in proportion as they are valuable. In
other words, a man owning lands
worth SO an acre must derive twice
the income from those lands that ne
would be satisfied with were the
lands only worth IS an acre. AS the
value Of agricultural land is increased
| the greater the necessity for improving
them and bringing them up to a high
state of cultivation.
Then the people in the country are
vitality interested from another stand
point. The rural free delivery mall
service is closely connected with the
matter Of good roads. Where the
roads are bad and no prospect of their
improvement, I have seen r. F. D.
routes turned down by the department
on this account. A great deal has
been said in recent years In reference
to securing aid from the United States
government for road building and ROAD
Improvement. There Is no constitu-
tional objection to this plan. The
United States government unquestion- :
ably has the authority under a strict
construction of the constitution. Art.
II, Sec. 8, specially provides Congress
shall have authority to establish post
offices and post roads," and this has
been construed In both theory lana
practice as giving the right. AS 70
whether this will ever be done or not
no man can say. That 1t Will not De
done in the near future, think we are
all warranted in saying, however much
government will or will not, in the fu-
ture, undertake this work, Is not the
vital question before the people OF
York county today, for the reason that
If in the future the national govern
ment should give aid, there will still be
roads on which its money can be
spent.
Mr.. Finley was literally applauded
at the conclusion of his speech, and
quite a number of prominent citizens
took occasion to congratulate him on
the large amount Of really practical
information that it contained.
After the speaking followed the bar
becue dinner, which took place under
the projecting roof Of the old Three
Cs depot. The meats had been we'll
prepared, and the big crowd did full
Justice to the ample quantity OF good
things that had been provided.
