While all the squandering is going
on for setting up scenic effects on our
highways by building the most of them
in the mountains for the benefit of the
tourist pilgrims the farmers around the
flat country are beginning to wonder
where they will get off. The farmers
put up the money and build the roads
while the tenderfooted tribes come out
on their pleasure hikes, eat up the seem
cry and pay nothing for the privilege OF
all the enjoyment. The Farmers Union
whose members live on the plains are
protesting against the pernicious prac-
tice so long as there are SO many poor
reads with bad places with urgent need
for Improvement in the civilized coun-
try. The farmers declare that roads in
the agricultural districts have been
grossly neglected and that crops must
be hauled to market in some cases over
almost impossible trails. Some of the
foothill counties are spending as much
as $50, 600 year on the roads and the
most of it goes into the scenic highways.

For the first time in several years.
every mercantile store in Windsor is
represented with display advertisements
in the columns of this paper. Not an
issue should appear without an ad of all
firms doing business in the town, but
we are sorry to say that some are not
represented. Those whose ads do not
appear are not treating their town fair
and square nor themselves. People who
pick up the paper in other places, see
ing only part of the firms represented,
naturally figure that there is an opening
for them in professional and business
lines. They calculate either one of the
two ways. One is that there are no
other firms engaged in business than
those whose ads appear, no other pro-
fessional men than those who carry
cards, or else those whose ads do not
appear are ''dead ones" In either case
it is inviting competition. = Windsor

Greater City and Long Island
Separate State.
Ry JOIN FINCk.

There are two remedies which will re-
lieve the unbearablc tax situations; Tax
other interests besides real estate. A
fruitful field might he found in tele-
phones. tclcCraphs. floating equipments,
corporations, garages, franchises. NOV
ing pictures. dance halls, cabarets, the

cles, stamp on bills, notes, checks and

Another drastic remedy, TO secure re
lief. would be gained by the city seced-
ing from the state.
Il is admitted that this can never
be accomplished unless there is an
equitable apportionment Of the state,
and this the upstate voters will never
grant so long as they can collect from
the city sufficient 20 pay for the eX-
penditures Of the state. An advantage
might be gained if the state aligned on
the question Of political lines.
We are sufficiently strong and mighty
