COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
INVITE COOPERATION

and there will be lots of work. The
question of whether the work will be
done on contract or by day labor has
not been acted upon, as this matter
will depend on the laws governing
road work and the kind of paving Sc
lected
All bad grades and curves on the
roads to be paved will be Strengthened
out as much as practicable before
permanent paving is laid
1t has been said that in most sec
tons of the west roads can be so i'm
proved as to reduce the cost of haul
ing 70 to 70 per cent and Snohomlsh
county is probably in that class.
Careful investigation into the cost
of hauling produce per ton mile in
different sections of the United States
shows the average to be &c while on
paved roads in good condition the
cost drops down to cents; on stone
roads in ordinary condition the cost
is IL cents. On earth roads contain
ing mud and ruts the cost jumps up
to 80 cents, while wet sandy roads
sandy roads when dry Ga cents.
THE POINT is, THAT WE ARE
PAYING FOR GOOD ROADS
WHETHER WE HAVE THEM OR
NOT. THE BAD ROADS TAKE
TOLL AT EVERY FOOT; GOOD
ROADS SAVE MONEY AT EVERY
FOOT. GOOD ROADS ARE AN IN
VESTMENT-NOT AN EXPENSE.
The city population complain of the
high cost of produce. The farmer
complains of the high cost of market
ing the products, all due to bad roads.
Is it not a fact that both city and
farm populations are paying many
times the cost of road improvements
without securing them?
1t is understood that some of the
paving companies are sending litera-
ture over the county boosting their
own class of paving and knocking
others. 1t should be stated that the
kind of paving to be used will not be
selected until the bonds have been
authorized, and then the manufacture
ers of all kinds of suitable paving will
be invited to submit their claims of
superiority and the commissioners
and the citizens committee will go
thoroughly into the matter and de-
eide what is best to use.

BRINGING 1T HOME
HOW THE "PATRIOTS" ROBBED
THE WORKERS OF 1875

The echoes of the guns of Lexing
ton had not died away before the
small, privileged classes of American
that had flourished under George III
began to plot to capture the continent
tai government in case the revolu
tionists were successful. And they
did capture it. The men who wrote
the Declaration of Independence in
1875, the men who starved at Valley
Forge, were not the men who made
the Constitution in 1888. In these
eleven years the proletarian fighters
of the Revolution had gone back to
their farms and work shops, while the
privileged classes, their mouths full
of large words to allay the suspicious
of the fighters and workers, DELHI
erately set to work to defeat the ends
and aims of the Revolution. They
were a majority in the constitutional
convention and they did it, The
American republic was a compromise;
and among those who were conspicu-
Gus at it's foundations were men who
ridiculed and secretly laughed at it.

The foregoing letter was received
by the Good Roads Association early
this week, and it is expected that if
the road bonds carry the people of
each road district will be asked to
name representatives to act on com
mittee as suggested. Under the law
the county commissioners have full
authority and sole responsibility for
the work of building the roads, but
as their letter indicates they are de-
sirous of getting the aid of a good
committee of private citizens to aid
them in the big task.
The commissioners have made it
known that it is their intention to
give preference to American citizens
in employing men, paying a fair min
imum wage, on an eight-hour-day
plan Many teams will be required

TO the Snohomsh County Good Roads
Association, Everett, Wash.
Dear Sirs.-
We wish to call the attention of
your organization to the fact that if
the voters approve of the road bond
issue at the election on December
2Sth, an unusually responsible duty
will be imposed on the Commission
ers, in the building of a great sys-
tenn of paved trunk roads over the
county, and in this work we wish to
invite the active cooperation of your
members
We suggest that you arrange for
the appointment of committee of
nine persons, comprising three from
each of the road districts of the
county, who will be willing to keep
in close touch with the road work
from start to finish, and aid the COM
missioners in financing the project to
the best advantage of the people, and
helping to solve the various problems
of selection of materials, and meth
DDS of paving, and the inspection of
the work
The Commissioners have no inten-
ton of Sinking any of their respon-
sibility in this matter, but are desir-
Gus in the conduct of the work, if
it is undertaken, of availing them
selves of the active aid of commit
men from each section of the county.
Yours very truly,

slip up on the joy riders by the oc

four young men deserted the car and
escaped. Their hasty withdrawal from
the vicinity of Fifteenth and Boswell
avenue was prompted by two shots
from Bert Richardson's revolver.

TURNS STEEPlE JACK.
Sailor Harry Edmondson Climbs State

The crowd in front of the score
board at the State Journal office lost
interest in the ball game about
O'Clock when Harry Edmondson,
steeple jack, and ex-sailor in the
merchant service, mounted to the top
of the State Journal flagpole.
In his ascent Edmondson shin
ned up the pole and used only
small rope few feet in length loop
ed around the staff to brace himself
against the stiff breeze.
Edmondson has been in Kansas for
more than a year He was a sailor
for IL years and at one time captain
of a vessel on the Great Lakes. Dur
ing the time he is not engaged in
climbing poles he tries to teach land
lubbers'' the language of the seas.

dred here knows the meaning of port

part of the state 1 witnessed a fight
that grew out of an argument over an
American flag on the bow of the Lus-
itiania. Some of the reasons given by
members of the crowd as to why it
was there were laughable. 1 stopped
the row by explaining that a foreign
vessel visiting the United States car
ried an American flag at her bow and
her home flag at the stern.
