or layman, can conscientiously vote
for dishonesty unless he is extremely
ignorant. Much has been said and
written in the last few years about
tainted money" contributed by
John D. Rockefeller ct al, for relig-
lous purposes, as it is supposed to be
money filched from the public on
kerosene oil, but what shall be said
OF state which filches from its citi-
zens thousands Of dollars in taxes
every year to make up taxes which
should be paid by people exempt in
this so-called amendment? Now why
does not the attorney general show
the effect of these exemptions? Is
he too coWardly to fight this graft,
for graft it is, but he passes it over
by saying it is in the present consti-
tuition? | always thought that to
amend was to take out Objectionable
matter and insert something better.
To pass this graft over in this way
is pettifogging.
One word more before leave this
so-call7d amendment. for it seeks to
destroy equality in taxation and
assessment on a cash basis, which is
really the only fair method Of taxa
ton in the whole realm of civiliza-
ton. Every bit of business done in
civilized countries is done on cash
basis. whether done by sale or bar
ter, for there is no other way by
which values can be measured but
by the value of the measure of a
nation, whether it be a mere horse
trade or the sale of nations bonds.
Then how can taxes be levied with
out cash valuation? The attorney
general also speaks of various forms
of property. Only two forms are
recognized in any business transac-
tions, real and personal property,
which cover everything of value for
sale or barter. Then why should
not taxation proceed on the same
basis?
AMENDMENT NO. 2 ON ROADS.
This amendment is of the same
stripe as the previous one and is in
tended to give unlimited power to
the legislature to lexy taxes to build
automobile roads for the cities rich,
This tax would bear very heavy on
the farmers of the state as the farm
ers pay by far the largest part of
the state taxes. In a previous letter
| pointed out that this amendment
was for the purpose of building au-
tomobile roads probably from city
to city in the northern part Of the
state, so that the rich in their tour
ing cars could have fine roads
through some Of the most pictur-
esque scenery in the state. at the
expense of thousands of people who
would never reap one cent of bene-
fit from them. If you will read be-
tween lines in the following clipping
from the Daily News of ST. Paul,
you will understand that | am right
You see they want roads like Europe
right now, roads which have taken
over 1000 years to build with slave
labor.
Maurice L. Rotschild, president
of the Palace Clothing Hous, re.
turned Thursday to his home in Min.
neapolis after a three months auto
mobile tour of France, Germany
and other European countries. He
was accompanied by his wife and his
sister. He is greatly impressed with
the fine roads in Europe and the ex
cellent touring facilities of the
country"

A Bad Piece of Road.

Allow ME, Mr. Editor, space in
your valuable columns to give small
part of the history of road. 1t
seems strange for road to have a
history, doesn't it? Well, this par
ticular road has a history of pecu-
liar kind. | will not so back to the
war, nor even a decade, but will give
brief history of it from June l
1907, to the present day.
This road was in fairly gool con-
dition up to that time. About the
first of June the changing came
along aud hurriedlv dug a ditch on
the side of the road opposite the
natural course Of the water and threw
the mud in the road. Then it
hurried off for other parts of the
county.
And, dear readers, YOU can imagine
the condition of this Highway of
peerless county of commonwealth
second to none in the union. This
mud that was thrown in the road
would bog a duck and would stall
the strongest horses. Naturally
enough that road became impossible
and travellers were forced to 60 three
miles out of their way. 1t remained
in this condition until this spring,
when some good road fxer came and
devasted a whole forest of pine
timber and put in the road in the
way of rails. They are called
"punchings," but the proper name
for them is joltings. For three
quarters of a mile there is nothing
but one long jolt.
This is a good road to max e a
milk shake, but it is not fit for
people to ride over, especially the
ladies. l have known many in
stances in which weak, unwell ladies
have had to get out of their carriages
and walk over this fine specimen
of aroad running through civilized
country. "The offence is rank, it
smells to heaven" is what every one
thinks as he passes over this road.
This may be strange language but
indeed it is true, and it is pity that
it is true.
1t is needless for me to identify
this road to the travellers, but for the
benefit of these who stay at home
or do not pass over this miserable
back breaker, | will say that it is the
road from Rome postoffice to Union
church.
| cannot vote and am not at all
interested in politics, but as an OBJ
serving citizen of old Williamsburg
l make these criticisms in hopes they
will be looked into by the proper
authorities.
