AN OPEN LETTER TO FARMERS.

Editor Pilot.
Allow me space in the columns of
your paper to say word about the
state aid highway law. In kicking
about the high taxes farmers usually
refer to the highway law ir terms Of
fear and denunciation. The law is
young yet and considering the big
jump in appropriations it look the
last year the farmers have good
grounds for apprehension. So | would
say to the farmers of Liberty, to the
farmers OF every township in Manito-
voc county, in fact, to the farmers Of
every township in the state Of Wiscon-
sin, vote against raising any money
for building roads under the state aid
highway law at the spring election.
II the farmers of the state do this they
will make this law useless, of nc, effect.
When there is no town appropriations
there can be no county or state levies.
So you see, fellow farmers, that we
have it in our own hands to make the
road law null and void. am not oppos-
ed to good roads but | believe the build
ing of good roads should be left with
towns or counties in fact, left in the
hands OF farmers. This cry about state
aid is hoax. The state has no money
but what it collects from tax payers, and
if taxes keep on going higher and higher
we can't hold our farms. Isn't it time
for us to wake up and do something to
save our property from confscation?
II won't do any good to kick against
high taxes and stay home election day.
There is no question but there is dam
ger ahead with that state aid highway
law. Let US wake up this spring and
strike blow. We can knock that
law and the highway commission into
a cooked hat, and build our own roads,
if we only pull together and refuse to
raise cent for good roads at the spring
election. l see by the papers that the
commission has ordered that the county
commissioner shall be furnished with
an automobile TO run around the county
and look wise. You ant |, fellow far
mer, will have to pay for it and keep on
grubbing every work day in the year.
It's shame the way taxes have gone
up in this state. It's time for the far
mers to call halt. Let US strike The
first blow this spring, and in way,
knock out that road law. Let every
farmer in Wisconsin go to election
next spring and vote against raising
any money for good ros under the
state aid road law. BY doing SO we
will have taken one step towards saw
ing our property from confiscation.
