responsibility is that we Americans
have gotten into the habit of working
out all such matters through the me-
dunn of taxation. If we want a new
road opened, we levy a tax. If we
want an old road macadamized, we
tax some more. Is a bridge to be
built? We impose another tax. We
tax and we keep on taxing, and this
regardless of the fact that we all
know that the hardest money to give
up is that which is paid in taxes.
Many a man will come to town and
spend in a day enough to pay his
yearly taxes and think nothing of it.
But he will sweat drops of blood, as
it were, when the tax gatherer rounds
him up.
We depend too much upon taxes.
We should depend more upon individ-
ual and personal effort. A lively

is worth all of the taxes you can
wiring from unwilling p~ocketbooks. A
determination by a united citizenship
of a county that their roads shall ex-
eel is worth more than all of the road
commissioners in existence. Road
commissioners work through devious
ways to reach their object. The uni
ted sentiment of a people works di-
rect to the object. 1t determines
what is wanted and then takes the
most direct route to accomplish its
ends.
Do you favor better roads in this
community? Then go to work and
arouse a healthy community senti-

that is accomplished good roads will
be the result.

INTERESTING MEETING OF
BARGAINTOWN GRANGE
Members E~ndeavoring To Make This
A Banner Year.

The Bargaintown Grange held one
of the most interesting meetings ever
held last Tuesday evening at the
school hall. Worthy Master Roland
Hagerthy, who has proved to be effic-
lent as the leader of the order, also
principal of the schools, seemed great
ly encouraged and looked with ap-
proval upon the renewed interest TAX
en- by the exceptionally large number
of members present.
Master Hagerthy with the entire
force of officers are using their ut
most efforts to make the present year
a banner year in the history of the
Grange.
Several actions taken at recent
meetings will tend to dispense with
the high cost of living by the coop
GRAFTON of the members in purchasing
merchandise and general supplies.
These advantages, together with
the social advancement of it's men,
bers, have made the Grange worthy
of it's name and a necessity to the
community and which is being proved
by the number of applications coming
in at each meeting.
Under the supervision of Master
Hagerthy, Gatekeeper Willard Bur-
roughs and Arthur E. Oneill, a very
entertaining hour will be enjoyed at
the next meeting, Tuesday evening,
October 3rd, when the above members
will debate on, "Should divorces be
granted" This is one of the most
discussed questions of the day and
will bring forth many humorous as
we'll as intellectual remarks. A cor
dial invitation to all members at all
meetings.

GOOD ROADS A PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY.

Perhaps no other feature of civic
reform or improvement of recent
years has attracted so much attention
as has that of road building. All
over our broad land, from ocean to
ocean, from the lakes to the gulf, the
wave of enthusiasm is rolling. The
people are realizing that they must
have better roads, and the machinery
of government in its taxing capacity
is being ever more and more strained
to meet this demand.
But while there is a certain respon-
sibility resting upon the state in the
maintenance of our highways, we are
in danger of forgetting that an even
greater responsibility rests upon US,
individually, as citizens. The reason
why we sometimes lose sight of this

Albany, April 2-Elon r. Brown.
majority leader Of the Senate, has sent
a sarcastic letter to r. Fulton Cutting
anent the recent pamphlets Of the Blu
reau Of Municipal Research, in which
he tells Mr.. Cutting that the fact that
public officials may differ more or less
from you on a constitutional question
may not indicate total depravity.'
"Your letter Of March 81 is re-
ceived," says Senator Brown. 81 re-
greet that il shows sach lack OF ap-
probation of the situation arising from
the scurrilous pamphlets OF the Blu
reau Of Municipal Research as 10 dis
courage the hope that the bureau can
be Of any further use at Albany this
year. The work Will be pursued with
other assistance.
Mere assertion is not argument. The
announced purposes of the Bureau Of
Municipal Research do not compel all
men to yield 20 its abuse. II is wholly
beside the point whether the bureau is
financially Independent, or not white
washing agency, or submitted a budget
measure to this Legislature. Some
thousands Of bills have been submitted
and a few passed. Probably even less
would have passed If their authors had
assumed the attitude Of the Bureau Of
