We Can't All See Alike.

How natural it is for the average
man to take a one-sided view of things
in general. For instance politically
many can see nothing but the liquor
question and bend their every energy
to the settlement of that vexing prob
lem. Others see nothing but the tariff
and perhaps for some that is the most
important thing, especially for the
manufacturer who takes advantage
of that to build up his business at the
expense of others. In this state we
have besides county option, the ques-
ton of railroad rates, the tonnage
tax, reapportionment, and many
others equally important, that must
be given careful consideration. We
should all try to cultivate broader
vision and especially be more con-
siderate of the opinions of others be-
cause. sometimes Others are right
and we are breckenridge

WHERE SOME oFsURPLUs MIGHT GO.
a reduction Of one-half of one mill
in the tax rate for state revenue pur-
poses is contemplated by the state
auditor this year. The zeal Of the
state auditor to reduce state taxes to
the lowest minimum possible is COM
mendable. But we do not believe it
would prove detrimental to the best
interests of the state if there should be
a respectable balance in the state
treasury when the legislature con-
venes next January.
The legislature of 1909 appropriated
5000, 900 for roads and bridges for the
fiscal years of 1910 and 1911. The SUI
preme court held that the act was un-
constitutional, hence that court is in
measure responsible for part of the
surplus in the state treasury.
But the legislature of 1909 might
have levied a tax of one-quarter of
one mill for road and bridge pur-
poses, as provided in section 16
article of the constitution, while a
tax of only one-twentieth of one mill
was levied under the provisions of
chapter 1873 laws of 1905. Had the
legislature of 1909 known that the SUI
preme court would have held the ON
nibus road and bridge law unconsti-
tutional the law, of course, would not
have been enacted, but the maximum
rate-one-fourth of one mill
permitted under section l6 article 8 of
the constitution would have been
levied.
Based upon the valuation of the
state for 1909, a tax of one-fourth of
one mill would produce revenue of
$277, ISL, and a tax of one-twentieth of
q mill would produce one-dfth that
amount 400. We do not believe
any violence would be done the con-
stitution if the next legislature we're to
appropriate for roads and bridges an
amount equal to the difference be-
tween what tax of one-twentieth of
one mill and a tax of one-fourth of
one mill would produce-S221, I'll.
# this could be done It would give
the highway commission approx
mately $3.50, 900 to expend upon the
roads and bridges of the state next
spring, which would necessitate the
expenditure of double that amount by
the several counties of the state.
A reduction in the state tax rate of
one-half mill would not mean much to
the average taxpayer, but it would
mean a saving to the steel trust of
Sl25, 900. We would like to see that
amount appropriated for the state
highway commission so as to provide
for a corps of competent roadbuild-
ing experts to supervise the work of
road construction throughout the
state, and to instruct the local
authorities in the proper methods of
road-making. The roads of the state
need that S125, 900, and the steel trust
will never miss it.
A part of the surplus in the revenue
fund could be used to good advantage
in the manner we have suggested, and
every dollar properly expended upon
the roads of the state would pay a
hundredfold.
