THE ROAD TAX.

John F. Howell OF Lave Creek
township, who has written two
letters for publication in the Rec
brd lately, seems to be exper-
encing considerable worry about
ghe road tax proposition, and in
bassing, it might be mentioned
That our friend Howell is the
pnly man in Sharp county who
has felt moved to enter into a
discussion Of this question for
he benefit OF the public, SO far
Is we have knowledge. HowelI's
y 1etters, as we have judged them,
have been written from the
tandpoint Of an ovorburdened
axpayer, whose money is being
squandered without benefit to the
bubble roads, and, while we have
bo desire to engage our friend
Howell in public debate Of this
proposition, we wish to call his
Intention to few points in favor
u the road tax which we believe
lis letters heretofore published
ly this paper have painfully fall
I'd to bring to the notice of those
Who read them.
M There are many non-residents
b Sharp county, and many of
hese do not even live in the
btate Of Arkansas, who own
arms and other property in this
bounty. T h s e nonresident
property owners now pay money
Into the county treasury for the
upport of the public highways,
While undefthe old road system
hey would not contribute a cent
b the roads nor labor a day upon
hem. Wesuppose Howell wants

lays work on our highways.
Railroad companies are always
kreat benefioiaries from goo d
oads; why they arc Is very cas-
ly seen, We suppose Howell
wants 10 exempt the Frisco rail-
foad from assisting in making
good roads in Sharp county.
We suppose he wants the young
boys and middled aged men Of
Phis county to bring the benefit
pf good roads to the railroad

ways than our merchants, Good
public roads on all sides Of tholr
respective business points are
worth hundreds Of dollars to tho
merchants; why this is so Is very

duty will reap more benefit from
their labor by far than they will
themselves. This is most gener-
Gus of John-to the merchants,
and all others who are past for
ty.tive years of age, and it's q
dead oinoh that the largest prop
erty owners all over the county
are past that age. Let the read
er Of this scan over his commun-
ity and see if this isn't true, not
in every case, but in a large ma
jority Of cases. But, it must be
said to the credit Of these men,
that.the opposition to the road
tax comes not so much from
them, but from smaller tax pay
ers, who, it occurs 10 Us, should
be most in favor OF this tax.
Other instances OF the gross
injustice of the old system Of
road making might be cited to
our friend Howell, but we shaIA
not offer anything further on this
part Of the question at this time.
The Record is willing TO admit
that the present road law is not
perfect, to our mind. We are
willing to admit that money may
have been injudiciously spent on
the roads. We admit freely that
some sections Of the county have
not good roads. But the present
road law is doubly fair to every
citizen than the old road law.
We have attempted to prove this
in the first part Of tais article.
Then it is possible 10 make good
roads by taxation, We do not
believe it is possible to make any
considerable amount Of goo d
road in any single community
under the old law. We never
heard Of it being done at least
Again, we want to suggest that

Of this county IT is NO FAULT
OF THE ROAD TAX SYSTEM,
We want to impress this thought
upon our friend John Howell.
This money was collected from
the tax payers, placed IN the

supposed to remain until value

carrying into effect the opportun'

Another thing, Thore may be
q district somewhere in sharp
county in which the public school
this summer has been a most
dismal failure, but If there Is
such a district, we arc safe in
saying that the patrons OF that

purposes or that they will never

ties, and pulpwood in the vicinity oil
Mallard and the Itasca State park,
have practically concluded thei,
seasons work.
Mr.. Amadon, who was in the city
today, states that during the past
season he and his company banked
100000 feet of logs, got out 1000
cords of pulpwood and cut $4,000
ties.
The timber was taken from along
the Mississippi river from Lake
Itasca to the mouth of Hennepin
River, and also along the Walker
& Akeley railroad, which extends
from Solway to Mallard, the work
of getting out the logs, pulp wood
and ties being performed by four
teen jobbers, who took sub-con-
