THURSDAY, SEPT. ~, 1917.


The extraordinary session of
the Legislature passed a law
which allows the Fiscal Court Of
a county to call an election to
vote on a road tax Of any amount
up to 20 cents on the 500 worth
Of taxable property. to run for a
period of not longer than ten
years, and all funds derived from
the tax must be used for road
and bridge purposes.
II the various counties of the
State would vote such tax, it
would he possible in most cases
to have good roads and good
bridges without voting bond is
sues. The tax would not work a
hardship on any one and the in.
crease in value of property alone
would be worth to the people sey.
eral hundred times the amount
they pay In taxes.
Good roads mean better schools
and churches and better, more
prosperous, citizens.
There are standards for build
ing roads the same as for build
ing railroads, Office buildings,
steam engines, or automobiles,
and any departure from the ac-
cepted standards will result in a
waste of money.
1t is impossible to figure the
damage done to autos, wagons or
buggies, each time a trip is made
over bad road, but We are safe
in saying that the damage a.
mounts to a great deal more than
the tax would be for good
roads.
