do not criticise the County court
for levying the so cents road tax
but rather for what they failed to
do. We hope that they may in flu
ture fence against fraud, and that
Justice may be done to the tax pay
ers all over the county.
In order to show the scheming
ability Of some when they get a
chance at the peoples money, beg
to relate the following transaction
which occurred in our county when
the roads were worked by contract.
This applies to a two mile section
where the contractor collected $22
from the hands on this section and
$40 from the county, making $32 in
all. He did about 81 worth Of work
on this section Of road, therefore he
retained $28, / suppose for working
the scheme, and here is how he
worked it. When the hands were
at leisure, say in March and August,
this good, patriotic, benevolent,
Christian contractor said not one
word about the road, but about o.
tober when farmers were very busy
gathering crops, then the road must
be worked or fines paid right now.
OF course they all paid the SO cents
a day, $500 a piece rather than quit
their crops. Then said financier Of
the road, did about one-half days
scratching with two light mules,
took an old shovel plow stock, one
two-foot board with bolt attachment
and finished up his 81 job by rak-
ing up an 8-foot ridge in a few plac-
es. The commissioner O KID. the
