MORE ABOUT THE'R0AD TAX.
jobs F. Howell Contributes Another Ar
ticic On Read Question.
Wood, Ark, Aug. "a, 1908,

Editor Record About July
the 18th | wrote a short letter to
the Record giving some of my
ideas about our public roads, of
which I think every taxpayer in
Sharp and adjoining counties
should approve. Every man
who has approached me on this
question says he is with me, eX-
cept our road overseers. There
are some few Of these fellows
who won't agree with me, and |
will excuse them, for the flavor
Of the pie is too good to them to
make a kick on the author of it.
Now, Mr., Taxpayer, if we will
just stop and think of ourselves
for a short time and see where
our money is going to, | think
we will all vote no road tax this
time. Just think of the condi-
ton Of our roads. I can point
out roads in our county over
which in the winter season Of the
year it just takes a good team to
pull one bale Of cotton on ac-
count Of the mud. You may apa
prOach our oyerseers and ask
them why they do not fix these
roads and what will they answer?
"We haven't got any money in
the treasury to work any more,
Why, we didn't have money
enough to work out the free la
bor," So now you can see that
we were better off under the old
road law than we are today an
der our present road law, for m.
der the old law we most always
worked out our full time, Mr..
Overseer was right along with US
end we all shared equal Of the
remuneration that was at the end
of the road in wait for us, and
the road .ay money that we now
have toDay was in our now de-
| pletod pockets,
don't want anyone to think

building our county roads, anc
If there is anyone who wishes me
TO outline my ideas on this road
question moro fully, | will be
glad TO do so upon request
through our county paper, the
GOOD old Record,
Now, Brother Taxpayer, |
would DO very glad to hear some
of you give your ideas on this
question, This is q question that
we all should be Interested in il
we ever expect for our country
TO come to the front TO share
our part Of tho pleasures and
wealth Of this great country wo
must got right down 10 business,
and the first thing we should do
10 to build some good roads,
Then II will not only DO Il pIeao'

PEOPLE sArIsrIED WITH
The PURE FOOD Law

After nearly q years trial Of the
pure food law, the verdict Of the people

only too long delayed. People who
think ut all about what they are eat
ing, feel more secure now that the gov
srpnent has established it's many sta.

The labels as actually conveying some
Attenuation about the contents of
packages.
Manufacturers Of honest goods have
found that the new law has helped
them. They have been enabled to
claim a certain guarantee. by govern.
nent, OF the essential truth Of their
labels, and though the law never con
templsted that the government should
stand behind food and drug products
10 the extent Of certifying 10 labels.
Severtheless the effect on the public
mind has been to instil confidence that
tee government In active to detect. ex
pose, sad punish fraud, aud the manu-
faeturers have taken advantage Of this
fact.
Dealers have found that the sales Of
impure and falsely labeled goods have

turers being required TO state the ex-
act truth in their labels about the con
tents, the reading is not always pleas
ant, and even the poorer people will
not buy very inferior or impure stuff

getting and what they are not getting
for their money. Sales Of pure and
wholesome goods have been promoted
by the pure food and drugs act. for the
public figures out that product which
can stand the government tests and get
its label registered must he pretty good.
The manufacturers who use harmless
artificial coloring or preventative have
taken pains 10 educate the public TO an
understanding Of the harmlesspess Of
such ingredients in moderation, and the
very fact that they print boldly on the
package a statement Of such ingrcdi-
-nts certainly tends to promote public
confidence.
