You will note that the amounts
varied without regard to amount
of road tax paid. The reason
for this was not that we needed
more or less, but set aside what
we could spare after satisfying
other demands and all the time
making an earnest effort to re-
duce taxes, and, as you know,
did take off one mill. It should
be plain to you that we could
take off another mill or two if
the people would pay their road
tax. because if all would pay the
tax would grow each year.
Now / wish to say that this
manner of working roads with
money from parish taxes is not
fair and just. / will say that
rich and poor, white and black,
aligse. dodge the road tax, and,

Road Tax paid:

TIE above figures are net
Now 1 said these figures Woille
show that the people were no
anxious to pay a road tax anc
they do. You will note that tht
amount in End ward paid fol
the year of 1907 was lie largest,
$l639.47. That was the first
year that the road tax was as
sessed, and if / remember cor
rectly the assessment that year
was about $780, 90. q have not
the figures before me) when |
am sure it should have been
100000.
The road tax has been assessed
several times, but that is no
guide as to the amount due.
For example, the End ward paid
in 1907 $1639.47 and the assess
ment for that ward in 1911 was
$1484.O 90. Now you can hardly
blame the collector for any of
this, as he does not have a COM
plete list of delinquents, and it
has happened that there was in
some years more paid than was
assessed. No doubt our Assessor
tells mis- deputies to get it, but
from some cause they fail.
Now on account of the people
not paying this tax, we are COM
PEELED to get money from other
sources or quit the job" Con-
sequently we budgeted the fol-
lowing amounts for the eight
years, beginning with the year
1905, out Of the parish taxes:

Mr.. Editor. with your per-
mission I will have something to
say on the subject Of roads, road
work and how funds are raised
for that purpose. | will say that
have no desire to go in print, as
I realise that | am not able to
treat the subject as it should be,
but | am in earnest on this ques-
ton and can state some facts.
Another reason for having my
say is that the subject seems to
be very little understood, even
by many of our most intelligent
taxpayers. l want to say right
at the start that the question OF
good roads is a question OF
money. Under present condi-
tons we have enough money for
one working and can perhaps
patch them a little and the money
is all spent.
Now | want to ask some of our
good friends, who are continually
talking good roads and road
building, are they willing to put
up the money? | fear not. |
will give you some figures that |
think will prove it. | will give
you the road tax collections in
the End ward, my ward, for the
past eight years, and | want to
say here that the people in my
ward have payed up about as
well as any other ward in the
parish and better than one or
two, but will refer to my ward
on this subject as I have the
figures and am familiar with
what has been done.

PUBLIC ROADS QUESTION
By j. E. Daley, Police Juror, Second ward.

strange as 1t may sound TO some,
the rich man is the big looser ir
the game. We will say that he
has 5 wagons, a surry and 8
buggy, a road tax of say 81, but
on account of his not paying, he
pays in parish taxes several times
that amount for road purposes.
You may ask what are we go.
ing to do about it? That is the
question. Certainly the whole
matter is in the hands of the
Police Jury-spending the money
and working roads. If the PEG.
pie would vote a mileage tax,
think it would be best, but that
would not reach a certain class,
we might retain the per capita tc
get them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, / think
hear some fellows say that they
would pay it if they got more re
turns for the money, but that
won't do. The half that don't
pay don't deserve any thing, and
/ think | can show that more has
been accomplished than some
people realize, especially as we
have never had funds to keep up
road work as it should be done.
We will go back eight years. AT
that time more than half of the
public roads had hardly been
marked off with a ploW furroW,
and were ponds and flats that no
effort had been made to drain.
Most Of the bridges were in a
rotten, delapidated condition and
many more were needed. All of
those roads have been worked
many times, ponds and fats
drained, nearly all large bridges
have been rebuilt and in better
shape than the old ones and hum
dreds of small ones built where
there was none. Hundreds Of
miles Of new roads have been.
worked and bridged. Now what
could we have done with twice.
the money!
The reader must understand
that when a Police Juror drives
over 2 road and points out SIS
worth of work per mile, that he
could as easy point out $40 worth.
we need is money enough
to keep the work going after
every rain if the people want
smooth roads. This can be done
with steel drags and light grader
but will cost double what
we are now spending on roads
and bridges. Do the people want
10 put it up?
Now, Mr.. Editor, lin conclusion,
want to say that we Police
Jurors are ON the ground, know
every foot of the country and
rive this subject some thought.
see that you newspaper men
great prominence to good
DAD demonstration trains, good
Dads clubs, moving picture ex-
libits, etc. Now this don't help
IS much. What we want is
money.
We know all about how the old
ountrys of Europe have built
reat highways at great cost and
f what material. The manu-
acturers of road tools are flood
US with pamphlets showing
uts of good and bad roads that
re can see at home), but we
aven't even the money to buy
ne tools, to say nothing of doing

Now one more thought, dear
and | will not tax you
ny further. Things are not
Ding to the bad in roads by any
leans. You must remember we
ave had 5 or s wet years, and
Or the past four or five months
has rained almost continually. ]

CARS INCOME FROM VODKA
Russia's Ruler Is Given S4o0,000,O00
Annually by His Subjects
For Drink.

st. Petersburg.-Public opinion,
strongly expressed in the duma and
the press, has at last aroused the
government to take steps to fight the
vodka fiend. A home for inebriates
will be started and an institute for
anti-alcoholic research will follow.
Over 80 per cent. of the city popula-
ton of Russia become confirmed vod-
ka fiends before they are twenty-five
years old. while As per cent. of the
girls fall into the habit between the
ages of seven and twelve Recruits
are driven to drink through INSULT
cient food and cold, barracks, because
four-fifths of the coal and meat allot-
ted to them are snapped up by officers
and purveyors before it reaches the
stores.
Vodka has been a crown monopoly
since the sixteenth century. The car
has now 10000 vodka saloons and
controls 1000 distilleries, on which he
realizes $400,0O0,000 a year. While
the government spends only 81 cents
per head on education, each Russian
citizen carries between SO cents and
81 year into the cars saloons. The
vodka spirit is distilled from potatoes
and cereals.

Some have pretended to bespeak Mr..
Astor's interest in behalf of causes
other than purely personal ones, but
most of them have been frankly smit-
ten in the desire to call the young
mans attention to certain persons that
he otherwise might overlook.
Some of the writer's have waited in
front of the Astor estate Offices In
Twenty-sixth street for glimpse OF
the boy. Most have mistaken the
handsome Nick Biddle for the OBJ
ject of their curiosity, much to Bid
dies embarrassment. He is an exc
cutOr of the AStOr estate, is about thir-
ty-four and looks younger.
And it isn't only through the me-
dunn of letters that women have
pressed their suits. The telephone has
been kept pretty busy, both at the Of
fees and at the Fifth avenue house,
with girlish voices whose owners were
anxious to have opportunities to meet
the heir of millions. The reasons as
signed were as many as the letters
contained.
Some of the writer's want the young
man to "do something worthy of his
name" There have been suggestions
that he finance the suffragette cause.
Others want him to use his fortune to
buy up breweries and distilleries and
put them out of business for the sake
Of promoting the cause of prohibition
Comparatively few of the letters writ
Ten by women are from inventors. This
class of communications almost always
bore mans signature.
Things suggested for a worthy use,

bung-starters to methods of bridging

peals are those of professional beg
CARS. Churches, schools and libraries
divide honors as to the numbers or
their letters with propositions from
business houses that offer him inter-
ests for ever SO small sum.
Most Of these letters, of course, need
no answer. Those from women ON
subjects of the heart are entirely ig-
nored. Many of the latter come ac-
companied by photographs. Two OF
the fair correspondents sent as their
own postcard, pictures of Lillian Rus
sell, from which they had forgotten to
scratch the name.

TRUANT OFFICER WINS BOYS
Goes at Them In an Entirely New Way
and They All Think Him the
Best Ever.

Phoenixville, Pa.-One of the claims
made with much pride by the local
school authorities is the almost COM
plete absence of truancy, and those
who know give much of the intelligent
activity Of the towns truant officer,
William S. Armstrong, and the popu-
larity he has won among pupils. There
is probably not another truant officer
in the state who has such a record of
achievement in his line as has officer
Armstrong, and for five years he has
worked with singular effectiveness.
Truancy used to be much in vogue
among Phoenixville schoolboys, and
the new truant officer started in to
break up the growing practice. Speak
ing OF his early experience, and de-
scribing his methods, Officer Arm
strong said: II did not go about my
work in the hammer-and-tongs meth
od. 1 went to work quietly, got &C
quainted with the habitual truants, Wis
tied their homes and sought out their
haunts.
Il talked with the parents, and tried
to arouse in them some interest in
their boys school work, and asked
them to give some sign of interest and
encouragement to the boys.
81 learned the location of all the
favorite swimming holes, the nut
groves and the most popular resorts
where boys would go to play or hide 1
visited the swimming holes, not only
on school days, when necessity de-
manded it, but on Saturday and holt
days for the purpose of joining them
in swimming and getting better &C
quainted. l have grown to know all
of the live wires among them init
mately, and ! think they are my
friends"
