The Road Tax and Good Roads.

Our information is that the an
nual road tax of this county is
about $4,000. Here is con-
siderable sum of money, and,
which for great part, is vir-
tually wasted. If this sum was
so arranged as to be
covered by 20 year bonds, then
s240,0 600 would be available, at
once, for road building, and ac-
cording to conservative esti-
mates, by expert engineers, this
sum would build one hundred
miles of improved gravel roads
in Drew county. Now, would it
not be better for the county to,
at once, convert this vast sum of
money into valuable and lasting
improvement of the roads, than
to waste it as we are doing?
1t is high time that people of
Drew county were discarding
their prejudices and old-time
notions, and go to the bottom of
the real road problem. If we
can get good roads at reason
able cost, and such as will not
be burdensome to bear, every
intelligent man and woman in
the county ought to want them.
If, on the other, the securing of
permanent highways are more
expensive than we can afford i,
no reasonable person would care
to inaugurate them. The ques-
ton is simply business propo-
sition, and should be considered
in this light. After the estimate
is made by the Highway Com
The Monticellonian., 1916-07-06

mission, We ean al know just
what a given kind Of road will
cost us, and then We can easily
determine our course.
Whatever We decide to do,
whether we form Improvement
districts, under the Alexander
law, or 90 ahead under the old
three mill road tax law, one
thing is certain aud that is that
not another mile Of gravel should
be put down on any road, that is
not placed there under the sup
ervisian OF an experienced civil
engineer, and under the good
road plan.
The wasteful methods of
spreading gravel all over the ad
jacent country, to the public
roads, should henceforth, be "a
voided. There i8n'tany sense or
business in spreading gravel oy-
er the roads, to be washed off by
every rain, when, under the pro-
per system it can be kept, in
tact, on the road, for all time to
come Now is the time to reason
and solve the problem of road
building, and solve it right.

EX.JUDGE HUGHES ATTITUDE

dent Wilson for his leniency to-
ward German sympathizers, in
this country, and his peaceful
methods toward the German
Government.
Under these circumstances
who knows where to place
Hughes? Was he using the
German sympathizers, in this
country, to pull his political
chestnut out of the hot embers
of Republican fire, or is he now
using his strenuous Amerieanism
to capture the anti German
American vote? These are ques.
tions for consideration. If his

thing they warrant the belief
that he had an understanding
with the enemies of true Ameri-
canism, and should he be elected,
the great bulwark of our liber-
ties might be seriously leopard
lied. On the other hand, If his
anti-nomination statement, and
his pronunciamento, that he and
Col. Roosevelt are in full accord,
are to be governing factors, then
this country would doubtless be
plunged into bloody and relent-
less war with Germany, and the
German sympathizers, here, be
harshly dealt with.

CIVILIAN is RESPONSIBLE

I'm time of war the civilian as much
as the soldier is responsible for defeat
and disaster. Battles are not lost
alone on the field; they may be lost
beneath the dome of the capitol, they
may be lost in the cabinet, or they
may be lost in the private office Of the
secretary of war. Wherever they
may be lost, it is the people who suf-
fer and the soldiers who die, with the
knowledge and the conviction that our
military policy is a crime against life,
q crime against property, and crime
against liberty. The author has
awaited himself of his privileges as a

sooner or later prove fatal. The time

Good music clings to the memory,

a great composer may record in a

own record of some moral victory
won, and that years after the death
