TO the Voters of Western and North

To the Voters of Western and North.
Western Marion: 4
At an informal gathering of a
number Of voters in this and con
tiguOus communities it was conclud-
ed to call mass meeting represent
ed by western and northwestern in
habltants for the purpose OF consid-
ering some action similar TO the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, The constitution wisely
directs that equal rights TO all and
special privileges to none" shall be
accorded every citizen of our land
and,
Whereas, There has been a fla
grant violation Of this constitutional
guarantee in the conduct OF public
affairs of our county, and particular
~ as touching our public highways,
and,
Whereas, A recent decision of our
county commissioners provides a re-
gime Of public highway improvement
by county convicts who are to be al
loted each county commissioner S
district, equally. thus displacing
thereby free labor; and
Whereas, On this account it is
manifestly the intention of our coun-
~ commissioners to continue the
same Unequal condition of our public
roads; and,
Whereas, A sentiment is being
created in our county in favor of
bonding for large sum. with this
view: First, to liquidate the pres
ing been deprived of an equal parti-
ticipation in and profits OF the expen-
diture originating this debit, and
secondly, the continuation of road
building; therefore. be it
Resolved, That We, in mass meet
ing go on record as opposing the is
suance Of bonds, because first. the
debt is not cancelled thereby. and.
second. are apprehensive OF a depri-
yation of participation in and profits
o. the expenditures, viz: being bene-
ficiaries Of only a small part OF the
benefits Of the outlay, basing this
declaration on past experience.
Resolved. That We affirm our be-
lief in constructive and not a de-
strnctive county government; that
we favor a progression. not a retro
erosion Of the interests Of our coun-
y and county capital; that We de-
plOre and regret that discriminate
methods exercised against our great
and fertile sections of the western
and northwestern Marion county
should be such as to necessitate this
mass meeting with its resultant re-
solves and announce that ii IS opin-
ion current that the business inter-
ests Of Ocala is more prOnoun cedly

equal justice to all than is the in
