Depressed? All, yes-Im often so;
But after all tits from below
The heights seem fairest and the peaks
More worth the while OF him who seeks
And often when in woes I'm caught
i take much comfort from the thought
That out OF Valleys often rise
The peace and rest the toilers prize
And Valleys-take 'em through and

Are they not vast depressions. tool

To the Editor: Referring to the III
per cent bond limit" under which certain
citizens OF Alexandria County, Va, hone
to bond the county for a large sum to bs
USED IN paying current expenses OF the
schoois and public roads. and to put In
water works and sewerage. there is M
probability that the people Of Alexandris
County VIII permit this extra burden OF
taxes to be placed upon them.
The reasons why the people do NOT
favor such bond issue are clear.
Roads and schools require to be de-
veloped and built as a community in
creases In population, and both are In
continual need of repairs. For this reason
1t would be absurd for the people "a
burden themselves with taxes to support
bond issue that would in all proba
bility be squandered in large part, as has
been done in detriment to communities
in all parts of our country.
In time waterworks and sewerage will
be required, and then the people should
build and own them, but there will bs
no need for such improvements for a long
time to come. The reasons for these ara
evident. The communities Of Alexandria
County are not compactly built. there
fore sewerage Is not needed, because
drainage. light, and air do all that i,
necessary for good sanitation and good
health. To put in sewerage is a heavy
expense anywhere, particularly whers
there is a large territory to cover and
comparatively few TO bear the expense.
Nor will waterworks be required for a
long time. The water from the wells In
this locality Is wholesome and good; bet
ter than that from any reservoir can
possibly be. and requires no ice in this
hottest weather. The houses in the more
densly settled communities are not COM
pact enough to make the danger Of fire
an item OF consideration and the COM
munities themselves are so scattered that
the cost of carrying the water would be
very expensive. The water rents would
necessarily be high to pay the interest
and sinking fund. and in order to meet
them an ordinance forcing the people to
install and use the water would be the
outcome.
The difficulty is that the poor man pavs
as much. man for man. as the wealthy.
Also. in nearly every case OF bond issue
there is ''nigger in the woodpiIe." in
which there are attorney fees, commits
sion for floating bonds, etc, IL not direct
stealing.
II behoves the people to carefully study
the situation before sanctioning bondina

long as truth remains truth. and every effect
