81, by going to the polls and voting
for he issue Of bonds, the corpora
tions and the property owners in the
towns will pay at least sixty per cent.
Of the bond issue to help build up our
public roads in the country right by
our doors, and We will be paying only
a little more money out of our own
pockets.
Some one will say, Il don't like
the bond issue, let's have something
that We can repeal if we don't like
it, This is a great mistake with our
people and the legislature today
making laws and repeating them every
three or four years. Who pays for the
repeals? It is just like building up
the corporations-we poor old petri-
fed, parchment-minded farmers, as
we are often called by many, foot the
bill in the fall when we sell our lit
tie cotton and pay our store accounts
and bank notes.-the repeal bill IS
counted in.
Now, let's stop this on the day Of
the election, by issuing bonds for
good roads. It was a long time before
we could understand why some Of the
corporators fought the bond Act, but
the facts have now come before us;
this would take little too much
money out Of their own towns to help
build up good roads in the country
for the old elod-hoppers and make
things too easy for them.
It is a lazy cock that won't fight
in his own yard. That is Why so many
of us farmers are at the mercy OF
the corporations today. We don't fight
enough, around our own premises,
and in our own yards, and pay too
much attention to the gold brick.

Total ordinary county ex-
penses :. ..$25,132 AZ
: You will observe that in this total
Of $25,l32.42 there are no unusual
items. This, therefore, may be reas-
onably taken as the cost Of running
the county for one year. You will al
so observe that this total contains
nothing for roads in the way OF
bridges. communication tax or other
items. I have purposely omitted from
it all items that may be classed as ex-
tra-ordinary, such as $1,507.00 for a
heating plant in the new court house.
Now, let US look at the county's re-
sources for ordinary purposes, out OF
which this is to be paid, and ont Of
which you say the county has been
aecustomed' to spend $4,000 for
roads, bridges and ferries each year.
The ordinary levy last year was 3
mills; it is 3 mills this year. The as
sessed value Of the property of the
county last year was in round num-
bers 100000, thus giving an income
for ordinary county purposes Of $21.-
10000 to which ought to be added
certain fines and fees collected by the
county. I regret exceedingly that ow-
ing to the absence of the county treas
urer from his office during the week [
have been unable to get the exact
amount arising from this source. But
It is known that this amount is not
large enough to affect my main con-
-entionS. namely. that the county from
its present resources for ordinary
county purposes has not one cent to
spend on roads and bridges, and that
i did not have a cent last year. The
difference between the actual running
expenses, exclusive Of roads and brldg-
Is. and the county levy is $4,132.4 ~
Unless the fees and fines amount to
as much as $4,l32. AZ, then the county
IS not able to pay for it's absolute fix
ed charges. What then becomes OF
your $4,000?
It is true, as shown by the supervi-
sor's books, that the county did spend
Sl1.200.00 last year on roads and
bridges, most Of it for bridges. But

Editor Observer: In your Tuesdays
issue you ask the people to consider
what can &c done with the means now
provided before voting bonds for
roads. You then give the resources tor
road purposes as follows: $4,000 out
OF the ordinary county levy; value Of
fhaingang $4,000; six days of commu-
tation tax $4,000; the one-mill road
tax (new) which is to be levied in the
event bonds are not voted $1,000;
making a total Of $4,000.
First, let US consider your item of
$4,000, which you say the county is
in the habit Of spending on its roads,
bridges and ferries each year out Of
the ordinary levy, and which it will
have to spend every year hereafter
for the same purpose. I don't know
where you got the idea that the Or
dinary county levy is sufficient to pro-
vide this sum and pay the necessary
county expenses. You must have
heard it for I, too, have seen it print
ed in your paper. am equally sure
ron did not investigate the matter
for yourself, else you would have new
or made such statement. This is
evidently another case Of "they say. y
Your authority you evidently eonsid-
er very good, for you are very posi-
tive that this sum will be available
from year to year. This statement, to
which you have given circulation in
two different issues Of your paper,
has had its effect, as doubtless you IN
tended it to have, in causing the peo-
pie to think that they are providing
considerable means for road purposes.
To set this matter at rest have deem
ed it Of sufficient Importance to
check over every item Of disburse-
ments in payment Of the ordinary
county expenses incurred during the
year 1908. Below I give the result in
tabular form. The classification by
items may not in every instance be alb
solutely correct, but the figures them
selves are, and speak for themselves
