FURTHER DISCUSSION
OF IMPROVED ROADS
Now is Offered the Golden Opportunity
to Secure Improved Roads to the
Taxpayers Infinite Profit.

~~---NN -
exploit any man, or set of men, to
their advantage or disadvantage, nor
will it consent to do so, it does not be-
lieve that the gigantic mining compan-
les are paying their just proportion of
taxes in this county, even though
they are paying rs per cent. Of the
total. They still are not paying to
exceed half as much, according to
their capitalization, as are the town
and country property owners. And
yet their enormous earnings repre-
sent wealth that is being taken out
Of this county; while the farmer,
merchant and others, when they make
any improvement, add thereby to the
taxable valuation of their property.
Then can you not see and under
stand that, in all fairness, it would
be treating the mine owners fair
yea, more than fair--if they were
made to pay at the same rate on their
actual holdings as are the other tax
payers of the county? If they should
enter any objection to such splendid
treatment, then it might not be amiss
to inject little of their own medi-
cine, and force them to pay an abso-
lutely just tax rate, based on the fact
that they get their wealth within this
county and transport it elsewhere.
Can you figure out what rate of tax
alton that would be? We will let
you figure on that.
In the meantime, every citizen of
St. Francois county should get busy
in the interest of permanent improve
ment of every public road within the
confines of the county, while an un-
told quantity of the mineral wealth
is still intact. For such improvement
the amount that the average taxpay-
er would be called on to pay would
be almost infinitesimal. There would
be absolutely no comparing such a
small amount to the great and ever
lasting good that must result to ev-
cry citizen of the county from per-
manent good roads. Get busy NOW,
AND KEEP UP THE AGITATION
UNTIL THIS GREAT GOOD is AC-
TUALLY ACCOMPLISHED,
In this connection, we want to cali
your attention to the manner in which
st. Louis county disposed of a $3,-
100000 bond proposition on Tuesday
of this week, the bonds carrying by a
majority of about six to one. And
. this result was secured after a
/, thorough and painstaking search and
discussion of this important question,
in all its various aspects and ramifica-
tions. Practically the same condi-
tions are in existence in st. Louis
, county as exist in st. Francois coun-
t ty, except that the county roads there
are not nearly so bad are they are
| generally in this county. Neither
! has St. Louis county the abundance
5 of material for road improvement that
! st. Francois county has-here it
lies practically at the roadside, ready
/ for use. If st. Louis county's over
e whelming verdict in favor of perma-
r nent good roads was just, then is it
not plainly apparent that the verdict
: should be unanimous in this county
: if this proposition is ever put to a
vote?

first installment of series of arti-
cles which will be published in this
paper, from time to time. The pur-
pose Of these articles will be for
arousing the interest of the public
to the absorbing Importance that i'm
proved roads would be to every per-
son within the confines of st. Fran
co.'s county, as well as to all others
who come into the county.
The advantages of pulling the roads
up out of the mud and giving them a
good, solid foundation, that will not
only shed the water, but will neither
sag, nor mire, are practically exhaust
haustless; therefore the need of num-
berless articles for the proper dis
cussion of this great problem. We
earnestly invite contributions on this
subject, which we will be pleased to
publish.
When the actual conditions and
facts are considered, however, the
question of bringing the roads of st.
Francois county up to high state of
excellence is not nearly so puzzling
as it proves to be in almost every
other county in the State. When it
is taken into consideration that about
rs per cent. of the taxes of this
county are paid by interests whose
business it is to take from, rather
than to add to, the taxable value of
this county, and whose holdings here
are consequently diminishing from
year to year in this county, should
make it apparent to all that the SOON
er the question of permanent good
roads throughout this county is pre-
pared for the better it will be for ev-
cry resident taxpayer.
Did you ever stop to think that
more than 5000 men are constantly
employed underground in st. Fran
co.'s county, taking from the bowels
of the earth resources of the county,
which are Immediately shipped out of
the county, thereby depreciating the
actual wealth of this county to the
value of such mineral? A mere SUI
perfcial observer might say that all
this industry results to the advan-
tage of this county. But does it?
After this wealth is all removed
from the mines, as it is certain to be
some time, of what value will those
mines be to the county then? They
will be only immense caverns down
under the earth's surface, making
practically valueless the crust abov'
them.
But The Times has been informed
that these great mining corporation
would perhaps offer no strenuous op
position to paying their part of th'
taxes in this county for permanen
road improvement, at least in &C
cordance with their present assesset
valuation. But whether they woul
oppose such improvement or not, thi
paper believes that this matter shoul
not longer be delayed, as the minera
wealth is daily being diminished, an
if such holdings can now be mad
to pay rs per cent. of the taxes TO
such purpose, does it not, at best
appear to be criminal lack of I'M
tiative to longer delay this most i'm
: portant work for the county's good?

deadly foe of John Barleycorn," says
Mrs. Lucia Addition, superintendent Of

of temperance and labor. Before
the days Of these liability acts" she
points out, ''when a workman received
injury the employer was sorry, very
sorry, but the injured man had no
claim for aid. Now what has followed
these laws, which have been enacted
by 33 states? First, safety appliances

"Why, II Is in order to ask, should
the civilian employees of the United
States government be longer denied
similar protection? The present fed
eral law covers only about One-quar-
ter of the government employees. A
new law, known as the rnMcGilll-

States department of labor, has been

sENTIMuNT IN GERMANY.

Lest anyone should get away with
the impression that the recent nd
yancement In industry in Germany is
evidence that beer does not Interfere
with progress, a few facts not circu-
lated by the brewers publicity ma
chine should be more widely known,
says the National Daily, Washington,
ID. G.
These facts are clearly set forth In
a leaflet by DIR. George Bonne on the
part of industry In the battle against
alcoholism.
He first makes clear the greater de-
mands present-day industry makes
upon clear brains and steady muscles
compared with the days of the hand
loom, the horse cart anil the sailing
vessel. He shows that foremen and
managers are awake to the different
quality OF brain activity demanded by
the electric or steam driven loom, the
locomotive engineer, the chauffeur, the
man at the wheel OF the fast steam
ship or Mt the work bench in high pow.
or machine plants.
Then he names fourteen leading
German Industrial firms, among them
the great Krupp iron works, that look
most carefully after the matter of
proper beverages for the men and pro-
vide lemonade, seltzer water, bottled
milk, coffee. ten and other refreshing
drinks to take the place of the old-time
beer.
II is not to be supposed that ma
ton will be entirely weaned from It's
drinking habits In generation, but
the weaving process Is making head
way In Germany. The evidence which
the university professors furnish Is re
iterated through army and navy ant
industry, and insurance society.
