the center of the county hav-
ing a greater population
and tax valuation than any
other Beat and having in it
the county seat should have
good roads leading through
out to later Join with roads
that would ultimately be
built in the surrounding
Beats.
Upon consulting the tax
books OF our county we find
this Beat has a tax valua-
tion, in round numbers, OF
$1,O25.OOO. The town of
Philadelphia has an assess
ed value of $53OOOO, Deem
er the r. r.. Co. and other
land holding corporations
of the Beat are assessed at
about $3500OO leaving only
about one sixth of the taxa
BILE property owned by indi-
viduals outside of the cor
porations. In other words
the cost of bonds for i'm
proving our roads will cost
the corporations five dollars
where it costs the local far
mer one dollar. 1t merely is
a question Of whether the
farmer, who willreap greater
benefit from improved roads
can afford to put up one
dollar where the corpora
tions put up five. We are
unable to see why the rural
land owner who will be so
benefited in every respect
can afford to turn down
such a proposition. The
actual records of other coun-
ties issuing bonds does not
show any big raise in the
taxes OF any property hol
der. Assuming it would
raise your taxes three mills,
and this is hardly possible
it would mean the man who
has $1,000 assessed to him
would pay $3 additional in
taxes. There is hardly a
man in Beat one who would
not pay two or three times
this, much to avoid our road
conditions of the past year.
Think it over from a finan-
cial standpoint and see if
you can afford to pay this
one dollar where your cor
poration brother pays five
to build roads directly for
you. if you can you should
vote for a bond issue if you
can not you are doomed for
years to come to the same
conditions we have been
having for years.
