and the protection Of the people against the
whims Of a casual majority" They refuse to see
that monstrous evils, unknown to the fathers of
the constitution, are now protected by the safe
guards rather than the people protected, and these
safeguards are invoked to preserve some special
interest ten times as against once for the general
good or the protection of the individual.
They fail to recognize that the people are not
only more intelligent of government questions. and
their opinions and wishes more easily and certainly
ascertainable now than hundred and thirty years
ago. That evils exist they admit grudging mini
mize and claim them to be easily cured. To the
great spirit of unrest among the people today they
make no promises. They prescribe mental heal
ing. '"There is nothing really the matter with
you" they say.
What the result will be in 1912 is not now to
be known. But that the progressiyes will ulti-
mately prevail and that the government Of the Uni
ted States will progress as the nation has pro-
crossed and be made to fit human conditions of its
day is as certain as that tomorrow's sun will
rise.

THE ROAD TAX.

Considerable apprehension is felt that the issu-
ance of road bonds in the various supervisors dis
tricts is going to enormously increase taxation,
Some seem to think that taxes will be doubled.
This is incorrect Even on the present low valua-
ton of property the tax increase will be compare
lively small.
Taking district No, Two, which is soon to vote
on a bond issue, as an example. If it should issue
bonds for good roads to the amount of $50, 900,
their tax rate would increase five mills or SIS. 90 a
The present state and county rate is
ll1a mills. District No. Two would have a tax
rate then of 16h mills.
This would not put its tax rate higher than
surrounding counties who will not have good roads.
Pickens county, Alabama, has tax rate of Is mills.
Kemper Is, Winston 16 and Lowndes Is. In
other words Noxubee county can issue road bonds
and still keep its tax rate as low, or lower than its
~neighbors.
District Two has an assessed valuation of about
$3.50, 600, real and personal, which. by the way, is
an exceeding low valuation for that fine land.
Five dollars a thousand road tax and the lands
will not only increase in price but in every day
value to the owners with good roads.
IL 10 IHc oIIldi ldHu OWHcTS, IL Is SAID, who are
opposed to the issue of road bonds, when as q mat
ter of fact it is the man of moderate means who is
proportionately benefited the most. Take fofillus-
tration a small farmer or land owner in the Cooks
vile or Paulette neighborhood, the owner of 100
acres of land, which is assessed at the average val
uation of lands assessed in those beats. a. an acre.
or $64O; his tax at the present levy, amounts to
1882. The road tax of 5 mills will make it 1917
mills, or $1O.56. That sum is no more than a
property owner of Kemper and Winston would
now nay. and every man in those counties is now
paying a special road tax of So in addition to the
tax on his property. The Cooksville man therefore
will pay considerably less than the Winston man.
and have good roads. He will save the whole add.
tional road tax in bringing one years cotton cron
to the railroad. He can save it In one days haul
ing. He can forego the owning of one female doc
and pay his extra tax.
The good roads movement is most democratic
and the tax a most just one. 1t helps the small
farmer tremendously and cost him little. 1t costs
the large land owners a great deal, but is worth
vastly more to them than the cost, 1t is a tax that
directly benefits every citizen. Good roads reduce
the cost ollving as we'll as make life more pleasant.
They save time and teams and vehicles. The only
argument against them is that they cost money,
and it has been demonstrated a thousand times
that they are worth vastly more than their costs.

Southern Republicans Hold Balance.

The Baltimore News holds that
the Southern States have more
more power in the Republican ma
tional convention than they are
entitled to, and asserts that the
method of apportioning represen-
tation in the convention is un-
just. 1t is contended that, be-
cause of this system, both factions
in the the Republican party are
counting favors of the Southern
delegates because they hold a
balance Of power-and the situa-
ton is one that invites corruption;
that puts a premium on political
knavery," and "nobody dares
dares to whisper such a thing as
cutting down their representation
in the convention"
The following figures, which are
intensely interesting just now, are
cited to make a comparison be-
tween the Southern representation
of the Republican and Democratic
parties;

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS was a much more i'm

DESERT SOAKED BY
 THE RECENT RAINS
Verne Lindsay and Party Home From
 Trip to Florence.

That tine rains of the last few days the whole valley country between ehere and the Final mountains is verified by Vern Lindsay of the Salt River Mon umental Works and party who re- turned from a trip to Florence yester- day. The party consisted of MT and Mrs. Lindsay, pr. Franklin who came here recently from Chicago with a view of settling in Arizona permanent ly, and C. F. Wilcox who has been settled hore for the last forty years
 MT Lindsay went to Florence to erect a monument over the grave of the late Charles Foreman of t hat city, which was done as planned, the others going along for the pleasures of the trip. MT Lindsay says the trip home was rather a laborious one as they en- countered mud wherever there was a low place and saw many pools of wa ter on the desert. Queen creek was in fine feather and was pouring a big flood down toward tn Gila but they were able to cross it in their machine and made the trip home in about four hours.
 Dr Franklin enjoyed the trip inn mensely as it gave him fine view of an Arizona desert in the summer time, on a day when it was not too eXces- siveiy hot to be enjoyable.

 MAKING GOOD RECOVERY - There has been much inquiry among the playmates and the families of friends and acquaintances. concerning
 
 little son of MT. and Mrs. Howard Reed, who was hurt by a street car in Boston soon after Mrs Reed and her son went east a few weeks ago The severity of the accident according to different stories in circulation varied all the way from slight bruises to almost mortal injury. Mr Reed said yesterday that the boy was severely hurt and badly bruised. his right hand having suffered the worst and he is still in a hospital but is doing nicely and will make a com plete recovery except that he has lost the little finger of his right hand The next one to it was crushed as was the top of the hand but it will all be fixed as good as ever, through skin grating and other devices, eX- cept the loss of one finger.
 DEPoRTED BY UEST-Ther' were no drunks in police court yester- day That does not signify that the populace has suddenly ceased drinking liquor. which is regarded as more ol less of q Sunday diversion. nOtwith- standing the closed saloons, nor tha the police made fewer arrests thar usual between Saturday night ano Monday morning. for the jail was comfortably filled yesterday at day break Some of the lads had money left and put up bail bonds which they were glad to forfeit but eleven o them were broke and down on thei1 luck w.

VERY PRODUCTIVE
 MELON PATCH
Mir. Wilder Will Have Several More
 Carloads to Ship.

MT Wilder of Alhambra has made some excellent shipments of melons within the last few days and he says his crop will produce several more carloads MT. Wilder's place is located north of the Cartwright school and yesterday six cars of melons were taken from his fields.
 Although Glendale has been ship ping all along, Alhambra is just be- ginning to put out her large ship ments. MT. Wilder expects to ship about five more cars this week and then he says he will have about twelve carloads left
 There seems to be a race to see which part of the valley will pro- duce the most melons. They are all making splendid showings and a great deal more is expected of them
