We heard a good story the
other day. 1t was in the days
of wild pigeons. There was
great sport in shooting them.
One morning some boys declared
they could not go and it was
learned that the reason was
because they did not have any
shot. The boys were told to
load with plenty of powder and
shoot when the others did and
and no one would know they had
not killed any pigeons. That
was entirely satisfactory. 1t is
the way of the world. The man
who shoots with the crowd need
not be effective, he need only be
shooting. 1t is the solitary
hunter, the one who blazes the
way for new things, who must
always have his gun loaded. =

In another column we publish
communication from Oliver
Campbell anent macadamized
roads. We fear Mr.. Campbell is
suffering under the same delu-
sion that effects a few people of
cities where street paving is be-
ing waged. When the paving
is first proposed. some citizens
only look at the fact that they
will have to pay out a certain
amount of money, which looks
ruinous to them. They do not
stop to figure out the benefits.
In nearly every instance, how
ever, they find after the paving
has been installed that the value
of their property alone has in
creased in value a great deal
more than what the paving cost.
With the farmer and macadamiz-
ed roads it will be the same.
with the exception that the farm
err will undoubtedly derive more
benefit from his road than his
city brother with his paving.
Such road will not only make
mis- farm more yaluable,We be-

Can The People Afford
A macadamized Road?

1t seems like the farmers can't
get any thing ahead for the
taxes, which they have to nav.
If it isn't one kind of tax it's
anOther Today we have as
much tax as we are able to pay.
Yet they still want to put more
tax on US.
Now they want to build a
road from Ozark to johnson
County line. a distance of some
twelve and one half miles. The
farmer is not able to pay for
this road now. How can we
pay debt of not less than
$50, 600, and the interest on this?
Let's see what the cost per
acre would be if we have this
road to build. There is about
Is, 600 acres of land in the dis
trict, Now let's get at the cost.
The debt would be $50, 900. In
terest at a per cent, which is a
low rate, would be So, 400, and
one-twentieth of the principle,
which is So, 900, making a total
of SIS, 400 each year or a cost of
80 cents per acre each year, or a
total of Sc. GO per acre at the end
of 20 years.
Fellow Farmer, can you, who
have paid for your farms, afford
to pay $6.00per acre for it again?
What is the farmer going to
do who has not got his farm
paid for? He will have to pay
for it twice at once,
The hard part is, you have to
pay this tax whether you are
able or not. 1t is either pay
that 80 cents per acre, or
GIVE me your farm, Bill. "
Brother Farmer, wake up, let
us do something: let us get busy.
We have got to do something
'quick or give our farms up.
: This tax on the people will be
equal to slavery times of 1861.
Are we going to have a free
country, or. are we going back
to slavery?
Brother Farmers, | want you
to look at these figures and see
for yourself that we are not able
to build this road.
Our road tax now is 80 cents
per hundred dollars. Under
this new law our road tax would
make an increase of over 300
per cent. Can we pay this tax
and live? Figure for yourself
and see.
Brother Farmer, think serious
" over this matter.
Your brother farmer,
Oliver Campbell.
