Ing loads Of grain and other farm pro-
duce over the average roads OF the
country. When Ii Ii once brought
home to the producer that he is losing
annually large per cent OF his profits
on account Of the condition of the
roads which he Is compelled to travel,
he may take more interest in the
question Of good roads in the future
than he has in the past.
We hear people complain OF high
taxes and extortions OF other kinds
as reducing their income but few of
them ever consider the question of the
amount Of mud tax they are paying
every year. 1t is not the farmer alone
that Is paying this tax but tits the
consumer who has to share with him
in the payment of the same, 1t costs
the American farmer rs cents a ton
per mile to haul his produce to market
while the thrifty old-country farmers
on the mudless roads of that country
do 1t for half as much. We pay for
our mud in decreased profits in harder
labor and poorer schools. The city
man who thinks he Is buying eggs is
buying mud. Mud puts it's price upon
our bread our meat, and our fuel.
Three hundred million dollars per year
Is the estimated cost of muddy roads.
We can think of no way In which our
people could get less fun for the same
money.
1t may be argued, how can rural
communities get the time and where
can they get the money to make the
roads what they ought to be. Is there
no margin of time saved by rural free
delivery? The government is deliver
ing mail in the country and all the
time formerly consumed in going after
the mail Is saved. BY the telephone
market reports can be received and
many other unnecessary and unproflt-
able trips avoided. OF course the time
thus saved can be put in the raising of
more produce The extra produce will
have to be hauled to market and pay
the mud tax. A little of the extra time
saved by modern conveniences could
be profitably employed in improving
the roads and adding to individual
comfort as we'll as doing something
for the good of the community at large.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The Minnesota and Dakota farmer
has a number OF articles on good roads
and how to build them. The editor
introduced the articles with the fol-
lowing:
The question Of good or bad roads,
like the poor. we shall always have
with us. No effort should be spared,
however to better the conditions of
our roads or alleviate the distresses
of the poor. 1t is only by constant
agitation that any reform can be &C
complished In this world. II is not OF
prime Importance that we should dwell
upon the necessity of improving the
roads of the country for every one will
admit that the roads need improving
but the serious question is as to how
to get the work done.
In the other states there are many
systems of good roads and the example
set by a county or community having
these, has a good effect on surrounding
communities. In the west, however
liz Is different. The time was wher

North Dakota Political Gossip

Petersburg Record: A couple OF
weeks ago an editorial appeared in
the Lakota American, insinuating that
the papers of the county not support
ing the Gold Dust Twins" had either
leased their edi+o rial columns to the
opposition or had sold their birthright
for mo- etry consideration. With
plethoric purse, our strong box filed
to it's utmost, and bankers clamoring
that we emulate Andrew Carnegie's
example and thus do away with the
necessity of their having to employ
more help in maintaining to our in
dividual deposits alone, might lend
color to the Americans insinuations
were it not known that if for no 9TH
err good reason, we had an axe to
grind and under no circumstances
would allow others to rob us of the
pleasure of sharpening 1t by assisting
in turning the grindstone. AS long as
our name appears at the head of the
Records editorial columns be it known
that it's columns have not been barter
ed, chartered nor sold.
Following are clippings from coun-
ty exchanges in refutation of the In
situations cast:
| Tolna Tribune: The leading editor
ial in the Lakota American of last
week cast a slur on the papers of Nell
son county and the men who edit
| them. The implication is ms 7e that
at least some of the editors have sold
out their editorial pages to some in
dividual who has said that he will
make money by sreselling to the poll
ticians who will pay for the work.
| The American so wells it's state
ment that no one can tell to whom
reference is made. but the papers who
oppose Gronna are evidently the ones
upon which the American casts it's
Inspirations. Perhaps our acquaintance
| is too sh)r for suck a statement but
we do not believe the editors of Nell
son county are that sort of timber.
AS for the Tolna Tribune we have
been approached with something but
the man who brought it has soon
found where we stand.
Our opposition to Mr.. Gronna comes
| from just this: We do not believe
that Mr.. Gronna is. honest in his poll
tics That conclurion is absolutely
forced upon us by the radical change
in his politics that have came about
since we have known him. Il he is

| A well known citizen, who has just

authority for the statement that the
Forks people would be willing to count
the dead in the cemeteries there just
| to have that city make as good or a
better showing than Fargo. He said:
I'm surprised they didn't devise the
plan of getting their enumerators full
and then send them out in the hope
that they'd see double" He said that
the same trouble existed at the Forks
as existed here, that the enumerators
were slow in getting started and were
away late in getting finished. They
were doing just like Fargo, gathering
| up the odds and ends. He thought
that by the time the census taking was
closed, which will be next Sunday
evening, both cities would have COM
pleted the count.
