We haven't heard any one talking
railroad bonds down here yet, but ex.
pect TO hear the question sprung before
long and ss we are not likely to be here
for little while to get to quarrel over
the matter We are just going to say
that we are In favor of giving some
good road nice lot of bonds If they
will be real good and build a railroad
through the county. 1t is true Hazel.
ton has two roads and we voted bonds
for the Mo. p. which will have to be
paid some time, but the road has long
since paid US in freights alone to more
than pay the bonds twice over saying
nothing of the taxes it has paid. It
has saved US money on every ton of
coal and every pound of freight shipped
in Or out of here since the road was
built, and 1t saves us small amount
every time We buy a ticket from here
to Wichita or other points east. This
fact can be proven by going to point
where there is but ons road and buying
a ticket or shipping freight like dis.
lance. We have been helped indirect.
ly In many ways and have saved great
deal by having two roads and while an.
other road through the county might
not help us directly it would be great
help to the whole county in the way of
taxes and would increase the value of
every farm in the county. 1t would
put many of our farmers in much closer
touch with the markets and the ship.
pers could doubtless pay a little more
for our stock and farm products if we
had more railroads. If we even gained
a few pennies on the Hundred weight
after little time it would make a nice
total, much more than any added taxes
we might have to pay on account of the
bonds which would finally be paid but
the road would 60 on paying taxes
forever and in few years we would
have our money back in the saving on
freights and added value to our proper
ty. then Barber county would be smil-
ing over the fact that we had another
railroad to help out the taxpayers.
