payers. He wants the job another
year, for there is some $50 of profit in
it for him and it is money easily OBJ
tanned.
To construct a country road in a
proper manner involves questions of
engineering that not every farmer is
competent to solve, and yet it is
truth that this class of work in nine
c1ses out Of ten is put into the hands
OF the least competent man in the
district-the man forsooth who needs
the job because he has failed in al
most every other undertaking.
AS was said at the beginning, the
legislature has before it a bill which
provides for the payment of road
taxes ia money There is not a man,
farmer. artisan or shop-keeper, who
does not know that the bill ought to
pass. The merit of the case is so
self-evident that a discussion of it
ought not to be necessary. 1t makes
possible the securing of labor just
when it is needed without regard to-
whether any particular farmer is
able to offer his resources or not. 1t
gives the overseer complete authority
over his men, as he can discharge
them if they do not rendc: satisfac-
tory service 1t improves the char
ahter of his services, for the simple
reason that the men know they can be
discharged. The length of the day
can be made ten hours the same as for
any other class of farm labor.
| But in connection with this move
ment to require the payment of road
taxes in money there should be joined
a provision for better system of

of equal Importance with the other.
Let the law provide for an intelligent.
method of road supervision as well as
for rational method of taxpaying and
the people of Wisconsin may hope for
better roads. Until then the nearly
$50, 100000 paid annually as road taxes
will be dissipated in the evil old
| fashioned way.-Madison Democrat.

ROAD TAXES IN CASH.

The legislature has before it bill
providing for the payment of all road
taxes in cash and for the repeal of
that economic folly, the old road law
that has. existed since time inn
memorial and which permits the tax
payer to work out his road tax almost
at his own convenience and in anyway
and at any place he chose. The utter
foolishness Of the old law is apparent
TO everyone who is familiar with it's
operation, but at the same time the
selfishness of humanity and the lack
OF a healthy public spirit have become
SO ingrained, especially in the coun-
try districts, that nothing short of a
positive requirement of law will ever
compel the rural taxpayer to aclInowl-
bodybuilding and taxpaying.
For years the law has provided
that the taxpayers of any town may
vote to pay the taxes levied for road
purposes in cash. the same as other
taxes are paid. In large majority
of the towns in the state the question
has been subraitted to the voters and
in all but few cases negative vote
has prevailed, and almost all the towns
still are paying the highway taxes in
labor. working them out They

up his fiddle and waits for a more
convenient season Or perhaps when
he has called upon dozen of the
farmers to come out there may be
three or four responses and these
being political friends, he does not
strenuous labor. Thus contest is
at once inaugurated to see who can
do the least work. The writer has
seen seven men and two two-horse
teams equipped with a pillow, three
spades four axes and a logchain, spend
three hours grubbing out black oak
tree not more than three inches in
diameter. Computation would dis
close that the cost of that single oper
aticn was S4.05. This, of course, is
an extreme instance but it shows the
possibilities of the system, and is in
fact not so far from the real truth
in large majority of cases. Road
working time is too often regarded as
picnic season and bodybuilding is
made secondary to pleasant associa-
ton with neighbors. The hours re
quired for days work are ten in ac-
cordance with the state law and the
overseer. even were ne so disposed

not require a longer service, and the
truth of the matter is that eight
hours more frequently constitutes the
days work, and sometimes only six.
Then too, under the existing sys-
tenn road districts are small, covering
in many instances not more than a
allie OF road, and the overseer, having
desire TO keep a stand-in, ssees TO it
that things run smoothly for the tax

HONK- WAGON LINE
TO TORRANCE
LOCATED
FEASIBLE ROUTE ONLY
li8 MILES IN LENGTH
Proposition Is Now Up to PeO-
pie of AIbuQuerQue--W Would
Reduce Time for Trip From
48 to Less Than 12 Hours.

All that is now nessarv is little
energetic boosting by the Commercial
club and the Boosters club and an
automobile line from this city to Ros-
well, making the trip in six to twelve
hours, will materialize at once.
Il would mean that the Albuqucr-
oue business man could make the trip
TO Roswell easily between sunrise and
sunset, whore now it takes rorty-cight
hours and tiresome travel by rail with
frequent changes. 1t would bring Al
buqueFque and the Pecos valley a
hundred miles nearer and its effect
on the business of this city and RQ3
we'll would be most far-reaChing.
Mr.. Stockard, manager of the Ros-
Well-Torrancc line, has located a feas-
ible route between Torrance and Al
huquerque,' said Maynard Gunsul yes
terday. Mr.. Gunsui has just recently
returned with Captain w. II. Gillen-
water from triD to- Roswell and
Pecos valley points. He is enthusiasts
tic over the proposition and believes it
Is one that should be taken up in Il
business like manner at once by the
'Th2 line as located would be lis
miles in length said MI Gunsul
The present Roswell Torrance line is
10 miles long, making the Roswell
Torrance route 22S miles The time
allowed at pre- cent for the regular trip
between Roswell and Torrance is six
hours. The trip is frequently made In
three hours
The trip from Torrance here could
be made in practically the same time.
Twelve hours would certainly be a
long enough schedule. The idea is to
have the re.ly at Torrance starting
for albuquerque with a fresh ma
chine. The auto leaves Roswell at /
O'Clock in the morning. Travellers
could reach Albuquerque in plenty Of
time for SuouCr, or make it sixteen
hours, and they could get in here by
O'Clock. That the line would do a
large business from the start is at
once evident
Mr.. Stockard is at present sick at
his home in Roswell, and for the pres
ent the matter IS therefore in abey-
ance. Mr.. Stockard, however, has
made, his proposition, which should
be at once taken up by the business
men of Albuquerque. He offers to
build and equip the road for $4,000 to
be paid by Albuquerque people, after
which this city will have no further
expense, Mr.. Stockard to maintain the
service indefinitely and certainly for
four Years, the length of tho mail con-
tract he would have. The mail service
between Roswell and Torrance would
be another great advantage to the two
towns and intermediate points. A
