REGARDING ROAD TAXES.

tended to take the place of the law
now IN force whereby the township
has right to raise one and one
half per cent, per cent statute
labor tax and one-half OF one per
cent in cash. 1t is to be hoped no
township in the state will adopt
this Law at the coming spring cleo
ton. II they do, farmers who live
of from the leading roads will find
as a general proposition that in
order to get anything done to their
roads they must do it themselves
after paying their cash tax, and the
yillager will pay dearly for the
change. There can be no relief
for three years after it is adopted,
as no change can be made for that
length of time.
What can be done p Substitute
no other plan this year, but assess
your statute labor and vote cash

been doing. Make permanent impro-
ments on some of the leading roads
Further, if the following plan meets
your approval, tell your state sena-
tor and representative in the state
legislature, and you will get the law
for 1907.
AN EQUITABLE LAW.
The township law i advise is to
abolish the statute labor tax system
entirely. collect all road taxes in
cash, but have two taxes, the first
to be known as the ROAD REPAIR
TAX, to be levied on property out
side of incorporated villages; none
but voters residing outside such
villages to be permitted to vote on
it. This is to take the place OF the
statute labor tax and should not ex-
coed one per cent Of the assessed
valuation; every dollar OF it to be
Expended on the roads along the
property taxed. Then the farmer
living away from the leading high
way will have his road kept in re-
pair.
The second tax to be known as
the ROAD IMPROVEMENT TAX will be
levied on all the property in the
township. 1t should not exceed one
per cent OF the valuation Of
the township in any one
year. and all the voters in the town
ship have the privilege Of voting
how much 1t shall be.
All townships will be divided into
four road districts, and an overseer
elected 10 each district, whose duties
wifi be to look after emergency re.
