Dialogue Between A Way

Renter, are you for good roads?
Renter "0h no not so you
could tell it. D."

Renter We'll, the principal
part of the burden will fall on
the poor renter.
". NJ. Is that so? Tell me
about 1t, "
Renter We'll, the man who
owns this land said good roads
were coming and that he would
have to have more rent. So
this year he cut me down to one
third instead of one-half of the
crop"
W. NJ. You don't say so.
Mr. Renter, how much does your
land owner give this land in
for?"
Renter Ten dollars an acre
W. MO you know how
much more his taxes would be
per acre if we pass this road
bond issue, than before?"
Renter No; how much|'
W. M. Just two cents per
acre; no more, no less. Just
a postage stamp. 20 cents on the
$4,000 equals two cents on 80.
Renter We'll, well;it looks
as if got the worst of that deal,
W. NJ. You certainly did. "
Renter But then. my land.
lord said my poll tax would go to
$1,000"
W. NJ. There is not a word
| of truth in it, and no one knows
it any better than your land lord.
! Our poll tax is a provision of the
Constitution, and can only be
changed by Constitutional Con-
vention, and then it would have
to be referred back to the people
and voted on by the whole peo-
pie Of the State. YOUR POLL

sideration the ability of our
county TO pay, the time We have
TO pay il in, the help We get
from other sources and the eN-
ceedingly small amount of tax
each one will have to pay then
consider the amount of good
that will be derived from the eN-
penditure of money in building
permanent roads in our county.

little sound argument against il.
