PAYING tine ROAD TAX.

Have you ever given the road tax
serious and thoughtful considera.
tor?
Have you, Mr.. Farmer, Mr.. Bus
mess Man. Mr.. Professional Man.
ever figured the cost of roads, both
good and bad, that enormous tax
you are paying? The amount you
are annually taxed for good roads
that double tax?
Well, if you haven't, you should.
1t will amaze you. On this subject
and under the above caption, Sue
cessful Farming says:
There are two ways of paying taxes.
Maybe you never thought of but one.
But here are two concrete examples that
illustrate the point.
Two farmers had access to the market
reports by phone and both learned that
the price OF cotton was advanced a dollar
a bale on certain morning. One lived in
country where roads were good, the other
where they were bad. Both used the same
market.
One farmer hauled but one bale because
he couldn't get through with larger load
His gain for the days trip was 81. The
other farmer hauled four bales az load
because the roads were good. He made a
81 gain, and did it quicker than the other
man made his 81. In other words one
man paid So tax that day on roads, bad
roads at that, and would continue to pay
such tax until his county got good roads
A farmer in Sullivan county, Tenn,
had one hundred bushels of potatoes to
rot in his cellar because he couldn't haul
them to his market place on account of
bad roads. Potatoes went to 81. 40 BUSH
ell, and the town was shipping them in TO
feed that locality. Not only potatoes were
shipped in but ten carloads of all Kinds Of
food products. The farmers lost that mar
ket by not being able to reach it. They
paid big tax for their bad roads.
So it goes. Wherever roads are bad at
any season of the year the farmers pay a
big road tax by their losses. Yet they
complain not, nor do they weep. But let
any one advocate paved roads go they can
reach market any day in the year and
they complain of the taxes. They abuse
the one who would in the end save them
money.
What's the difference whether you lose
$40 on market loss because of bad roads
or pay $40 towards road tax that gives
yon a permanent market? The difference
is many fold the $40. One is a perpetual
tax-and Door business.

wish to call attention especially
to that paragraph Of the letter where
he states emphatically that he will
withhold all State funds if the school
authorities employ any teachers not
qualified under the law to teach.
The School Board through me has
been asked on more than one occa-
sion to set aside this law and in
structions from the State Superin-
tendent and provide money for
schools that were to be taught by
teachers not qualified. For the school
authorities to have acceded to these
requests would mean the withhold
ing of all state funds and to COM
pletely paralyze the school system
of the parish.

The following notice has been posted

Post Master:
Dear Sir-There will be Goods Roads
Parish Convention at the Court House in
st. joseph at IL a. M, Monday, March
End. It is hoped to accomplish some per-
manent measures for the betterment OF

work shall be on hand.
Please notify the above to as many in

st. Joseph, La, Feb. 81, 1914.
1t lie the earnest request of all interest
ed in the improved condition OF the pub
lie highways to see large attendance
at the meeting to be held at the Court
House next Monday, when, it is hoped,
ways and means can he devised looking
toward the betterment of the road sys-
tenn OF this parish. That there is general
dissatisfaction with the present system is
universally conceded and the purpose of
the meeting called for next Monday is to
discuss the feasibility of change i'm the
system now obtaining. Just what new
methods may be applied toward the i'm
provement of the public roads, should
the present symtem be abolished, we
have not yet learned, but the main pur-
pose of this meeting is to secure as large
and representative a gathering of public
spirited citizens as possible that the sub
Jet can be thoroughly discussed and by
concentration of thought and free ex-
preston of opinion some more satisfac-
tory method can be adopted.
Anyhow let's have well attended
meeting.

the GOOD ROADS TAX.
New Orleans Daily States,

N<Sc" OhAcohS Doiiy otdtcS.D
eve are already paying into the stat
treasury the proceeds of a one-mill tax TO
good roads, which, it was contende,
when the law was passed, would be ap
propriated back to the parishes i'm pro
portion to the tax paid" says the Homes
Guardian. "But we hear of very few par
ishes getting any part of this tax returned
About the only purpose it serves is t.
maintain board OF officials on good sal
aries"
There is a good deal Of loose statement
in this paragraph. The good roads tax,
in the first place, is not a mill but only q
quarter thereof. Nor was it eyer provided
that the money would 60 back to the par.
ishes in proportion to the tax each voted.
What the law provided was that each
would receive from the state as much as il
appropriated itself for the building OF
main highways, the theory being that this
would be an incentive to self-help in the
vitality important work OF local improve
ment.
The Colfax Chronicle offers a concrete
example of how excellently this good
roads tax has operated in the case of par
ishes alert to the advantages of highway
developement. Grant pays into the state
treasury $l06S year on the quarter-mill
road tax. But during the past four years
1t has received from Sl2, 900 to SIS, 600 a
year in the way of help to build its roads
"A total Of between $50, 900 and $50, 900,
a. against S4272 paid inland as a result
1t now has seventy-fve miles of the finest
roads in the state, made possible by the
TACT that it voted parish road tax of 5
mills for five years.
One-third of the parishes have put
themselves in position to receive the
same benefit as Grant. Some have already
obtained It. Others will get it as the road
fund becomes available to meet demands
upon il.
IL the Guardian had cited Orleans as a
parish which pays the tax and gets none
Oh 1t back from thetreasury it would have
mt . bulls eye. New Orleans annually
contributes in the neiehborhood of sec, 900
70 the fund, butts people bear the whole
burden OF the cost Improving it's roads,
Orleans, however, voted the tax with its
eyes open as first class investment. 1t
may not get direct return, but it gete
an indirect return from the fact that
every mile of good road built in the
country adds that much prosperity and
contentment to the rural sections and the
country cannot increase its wealth with
out also beneftting the city.
