mountain Rome, NOV. ~, 1917.
Editor Republican: Another con-
temptible squib appeared in the
New Time, entitled Judge Gray Ace
High with the Undesirables. It's
difference from the former attacks
consists mainly in leaving off Sub
scribe for the New Time, We will do
good In the community"
A recent speaker before the Cham
Der of Commerce In New York in
speaking OF the disreputable policy
OF certain newspapers, spoke Of them
as newspapers that have not the
honesty or the courage to show each
side, but hope to acquire some meas
ure OF snotoriety and reputation Of
being Champion" by adopting means
that constitute FOUL CONSPIRACY
AGAINST MANKIND, and In con-
GLIDING he said, 1.-THE people are not
going to be blindeW forever to their
best interests. They are not going
to be mislead by scheming idlers
and malicious sensation-loving publ
cations. They are going to brush
aside these dangerous and damag-
Ing agencies, and join In a program
Of healthful cooperation
Where will the stoolpigeon Of the
New Time be when that prophesy is
fulfilled? Lying down In the
GREEN pasture, alongside Of Hinky
T'rux.
A one-time prosecuting attorney Of
this county, In speaking Of the stool
pigeon the other day, remarked that
he had wanted for a long time to
show the people how SMART he
was and now he had an opportunity
Of doing SO. If that is the case, II
the pigeon would really like to re-
form, and would like to make a rep
utation for himself, we are willing
to give him some pointers.
In the first place, expose the bunch
for whom he is acting as stoolpigeon.
Bawl them out openly to the public.
Don't dodge the issue by describing
one az having brown, curly hair, an
other as having straight red hair, and
others having dunduckety mud COM
plexions, but give their names as the
law contemplates. (They all know. the
pigeon by name), and do 1t NOW.
Don't wait until the ownership has
been juggled to suit the occasion.
Again. the stoolpigeon was present
at the school meeting when the re-
port was read showing the expendi-
ture of the school funds for the pre-
vious year, in which TWENTY-ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS was not item
lied according to law, but was brush
ed aside as lNCIDENTALS. He heard
the report criticized and the state
ments taken from the records read,
showing that l. B. Warner got sew
eral hundred dollars OF the amount
classified as incidentals. He heard
Warmers Illustrated declaration that
there would be MORE incidentals
in the next report" He heard the
promise made that there would be
a meeting called in the Opera House
where everyone would have an OPP
portunity to discuss the matter and
that there would be a thorough and
complete explanation made. lie
knows that the promised meeting
was never called. He knows that In
place of we'll advertised meeting,
that the next annual school meeting
was manipulated by Supt. I. B. War.

In this later day 1t IL interesting

Brady In determining conditions po
litical and otherwise. Not only has
such foresight been pronounced In
Industrial affairs that ha,. been 50
greatly developed, but his idea along
the political line has worked our u
perfection, and he forecasted Will
good judgment.
During the campaign 1903 Gov.
ernor Brady strongly advocated the
primary law, and following his cleo
tion rs chief executive OF the state,
his first message to the assembly
contained strong plea for the enact
ment Of direct primary law, and that
suggestion was heard by the legis-
lature, and the law passed.
Today he Is candidate for the Unit
ed States Senate, to succeed the late
Senator Hepburn. Were he before
the primaries the law for which he
was so instrumental In creating the
selection OF Governor Brady as Unit
ed States senator would be but q ma
ter Of counting his majority, as
there could be but little opposition
before the primary.
Among other references for the en-
actment of the primary law Govern
or Brady's message said; Il believe
q fair and proper direct primary law

at the top In the estimation Of the
people OF this state, and as stated

there could be but one result, and
that the selection OF Brady.

TT is a matter of sound business

but experience has shown that this

Is levied for the purpose Of developing

development would add to the peoples
wealth, cannot be considered a burden
in any respect. 1t is an investment.
AS to the methods Of raising money
for road building purposes, there are
two systems which have been employ
ed in different parts of the country,
both with considerable success. One
plan may be called the "pay as you go

by Hon. John l.. Young, county judge
Of Dallas county, Tex, on June q.

There is one very important item in

or, rather, since the building of good
roads in this county. The value of prop

1908 to e2 vents in 1910. OF q reduction in

meantime.
There is one thing certain, and that
IL that we must have money for road
building and that this money must be
raised by taxation. Whether we adopt
the "pay as you go" policy and build
the roads only as fast as the money
can be raised by taxation or issue
bonds and thus borrow money in large
quantities and build the roads now is
a question for each state, county or
township to decide for itself. In max
ing this decision that method should
be adopted which will give the quick
est and best results with the least bur
den upon the individual taxpayer.

1t continues to be paid as an annual
tax, the proceeds of which are an
nually expended for road building pur-
poses. This system has certain adj
vantages, for example, in connection
with this expenditure Of the annual
tax. While only a limited amount Of
work can be done each year, there is
no opportunity for wasting large sums.
The people of the county gradually
adapt themselves to the changed con.
ditions, and the persons placed in
charge of the road work have an op-
portunity Of becoming efficient by their
own experience before they come to
handle larger sums Of money, and an
other thing which has considerable
weight with a large class Of people is
that the county is kept out of debt.
Another advantage Of this system is
that when a county has a large taxable
wealth a small annual levy will yield
as large a sum a. can be wisely ex-
pended.
The more enlightened and the more
commercial a people are the larger is
the application of the credit system in
their business. In the early settle
ment Of this country the money for
development and business enterprises
was borrowed from Europe. Grad
ually the eastern states increased in
wealth to such an extent that they
not only paid their European debts,
but had money to loan for the up
building of their sister states in the
west. At the present time some of
the western states are Joining with
those in the east in lending money to
Europe. During the past 100 years
on the system of "going into debt for
public improvements" this country
has risen from a small dependent ma
ton to the head of the list.
The disadvantages of the "pay as
you go" system are that the work OF
road building proceeds too slowly. In
q county which has 800 miles Of road,
100 miles Of which should be consid'
cred its main thoroughfares, If II
raises a tax sufficient to build five
miles Of good road each year twenty
years will be required to improve the
100 miles, and many Of the citizens
Of the county would continue to pay
taxes for years before they would re
ceive any benefit therefrom.
The system Of raising money fol
road building by Issuing bonds Is gen
orally unpopular, because people dreat
the idea Of debt.
The great advantage in the system
of borrowing money for road building
is that by securing the larger sums o.
money for immediate expenditure tn
work can be pushed more rapidly, ant
the roads which would otherwise re
quire twenty or thirty years for thei
improvement can, under this system
be finished in four or five years. TIL
people Of the county begin to receive
benefits from the work more quickly
and the benefits are sufficiently grea
to enable them to pay the interest OF
the borrowed money and to provide
sinking fund to pay back that none.
with more ease than they could pa.
