good deal in the position of the aver

The railroads. the levator men and

MORAL ASPECT OF GOOD ROADS.
Henry Wallace Says We Mus Get
Practical Christianity into the
Making of Them.

The greatest difficulty in securing
good dirt roads is not in the cost of
the drag which We are recommend
ing, for that is merely nominal, nor
moral difficulty; we came Very near
farmers lock upon the subject in this
way:
They say they have paid their taxes
in cash, as the law reuires. and it is
the business of the trustees to see
that it IS expended. properly. 1t is the
business of the road supervisor or
contractor to dc the work under the
direction of the trustees, and having
done this, why should they 90 TO the
trouble of smoothing up the roads
along their farms.
They dc not intend to do some
thing for nothing. The responsibility
is not on them. 1t is on the men to
whom they have furnished the money
to do this work, and they do not pro
pose to do t.
This is especially h case With a
retired farmer. He is a little dis
sruntled. anyhow. Heretofore IN leas-
ing his lands he has compelled the
renter to work out all the road tax
except that which is speclhcallE pay
able in cash. The new law comes IN
and says il must all be paid III cash.
The renter says this is part Of the
taxes and he does not have to pay II:
it is the part of the landlord to pay
his axes. and he is not going to heip
him out.
This is the hardest proposition we
are up against. and tho only way
which we know that t can be re-
moved is to develop a different code
