, AN ADEQUATE ROAD SYSTEM.
(From Columbus Dispatch.)

The Dispatch believes in local tax
alton. We don't believe it right and
fair and just to tax the people in Dis
trict No. for the improvement which
the people want in District No. 5, and
vice versa For that reason we be-
lieve the road problem is local prob
lem. If the people of District want
to erect a handsome steel bridge over
Oak Slush, the people of District 8
should not be taxed for it. If the
people of District No. 2, Columbus,
want to build handsome roads through
its suburbs into the country districts,
making our suburbs, charging the
city, we don't believe the people of 9th
er districts should be taxed for it.
Therefore, the only way the county
good roads will be built is through
district bonds. If the prairie wants
to build only one hundred miles OF
road there is no reason why they
should be taxed to build two hundred
miles of road east of the river.
To that end we publish the district
road building law this morning I'm
der this law the people of a district
can get together and agree what roads
they wish to be built, they can petit
ton the board to issue the bonds,
they can petition the board to APP
point their road commissioners and
the board wouldn't dare to turn down
petition asking for the appointment
of good men. In this way the power
is taken out of the board of super
visors and lodged with the people of
a district where it belongs. In this
way the problem can be worked out,
and only in this way. 1t is the way
it is being worked out in nearly every
county in the state, and it is the way
it can be worked out here
Another thing, competent civil
engineer. a good roads expert, who is
really an expert, can be employed for
the whole county, and with the aid of
runabout he could 3uperintend the
whole countys work with the assist
ance of intelligent road foremen to
work the gangs.
Another thing, we would like to see
the bonds taken at home. There is
enough money lying idle here in the
banks, drawing four per cent, to take
every bond issue, and the investment
would be the very best.
The Dispatch will be glad to take
up the matter with the people of any
district in the county, will be glad to
assist them in any and every way pos
sible in the work, by organising mass
meetings, Issuing literature, and doing
everything possible to speed the move
ment
Now, let progressive citizens Of
