THlRIEtN MEN WHO
WAIVED EXEMPTION

There are just thirteen men in
the northern district Of Weld coun-
ty who are certified for army SER
vice.
Perhaps It il an unlucky num-
Der, but We sincerely hope that
they prove ii to be otherwise.
OF the l47 men who passed the
physical examination, all asked ex-
emption except those thirteen.
We place their names on the roll
Of honor as follows:
Jacob Wells, Keota.
Everett T. CLARK, Ault.
Allen j. Leathers, Grover.
June D. Mcmillan, Grover.
Clyde r. Glasspoole, Grover.
Lawrence B. Sheldon, Grover.
Loyal r. Faris, Carpenter, Wyo.

Grant B. Klott, Fosston.
Solomon Rodkin, Raymer.
Joseph L. Jennings. Grover.
Homer Van Cleve says there is
some mistake about this list, as he
passed and has not claimed exemp-
tion. Perpaps there will be other
mistakes discovered, and the re-
suit will not be 80 discouraging as
it appears.
It is worthy Of mention that SOL
omon Rodkin has not yet taken
out his second papers but shows
his devotion ard loyalty to Uncle

ABOUT weld COUNTY HIGHWAYS
Large MNage Calls for Large Expenditure, While the Cost
Is Increasing, Year by Year

spent in any section in any section
in one year. Probably, we have as
good an idea Of the area included
in school district 81. or voting pre-
cinct 43, as most people have their
own neighborhood.
Here is what we will estimate
has been spent from 1910 to the
present time.
The Raymer enterprise., 1917-08-16
$4,000

The 1915 expense was mostly
for road grader.
What we have contributed to the
road fund during that time, we are
unable to say, but the contribution
Of this district to the road fund for
last year and this year, will exceed
the expenditures for the eight
years.
This year our road tax will
amount to more than $1,000, and
we are told that we must be satis-
fled with. about one-t tenth of that
amount to fix our roads.
Last year we received more than
We paid, but not enough to CON-
pensate for what we had just paid
in excess Of expenditures for any
one year before.
In view Of the small amounts ex.
pendid in years gone, it 10 our be-
lief that for the next ten years we
should have every dollar we con-
tribute to the road fund spent on
our roads Ii there are any facts
or conditions that can be shown,
which will convince reasonable
people that we are wrong, then we
want to be shown.
II it is right, that this district
should pay $1,000 to the county
road fund this year, and only re-
ceiye one tenth Of the sum back in
shape Of road work. We want to
know it, and if it is shown to be
fair and equitable and just, we will
say so.
The above does not take into ac-
count the State Highway which is
headed this way, but which is still
a long ways off Neither does it
take into account what we pay in
the the State Highway tax, which
is about $4,000 per year. So we
will have paid for couple of miles
Of that year, and will pay for an
other mile next year.
The Enterprise would be willing
to see the road levy doubled for
next year, provided we can get
three-fouths Of what we pay taxes
for that purpose, spent on or roads.
We are not asking for favors, but
for less than we think is fair and
just.
We do not expect that we can
get all all that we should have, for
obvious reason, but we do hope
that we shall be able to get nearer
to it than we have been getting in
the past.
II we have made any mistakes in
facts or figures, we want to be cor.
rected. The Enterprise is a public
institution to the extent that Its
columns are always open for facts
Of public interest.

If foolish there should be no occas-

While mob law is always deplor-
able, yet there are times when the
circumstances surrounding the oc-

be willing to ascertain facts and
base all Of it's contention on those
facts. 1t is also possible that set
Of facts may lead. one man to one
conclusion, whileanother man may
arrive at an entirely different con-
clusion based on the same set Of
facts, hence we shall endeayor to
give all the facts and conceal none
that are material.
II has been stated that Weld
county has about 1000 miles Of
roads. 1t must be remembered,
however, that new roads have been
granted in many places during the
past five years, especially in the
newer sections. Mr.. Rowe told us
that Weld county now had about
5000 miles Of road and that his dis
trict embraced about a half Of that
number OF miles,
Weld county's road tax is l.5
mills this year, the same as last
year, and raised for road purposes
of $l0S,075, while this year it
amounts to Slll,546, That seems
like a large amount Of money but
it has to be spread over great
many miles.
Ii each mile received just the
same amount Of money, it would
make about $3.50 per mile.
However, we understand that
each commissioner receives one
third OF ther road fund for his dis
trict. so that this district having
the largest number OF miles would
make the money for each mile in
this district average only abont
$500 per mile.
In some states, road and bridge
funds are kept seperate, here both
expenses are charged by to the road
fund.
AT a meeting Of the Weld County
Commercial Club last week, this
matter was discussed, and it was
pointed out that plans for road i'm
provement were sometimes made,
and then big freshet would des-
troy a large number of bridges
which would deplete the funds and
make necessary a rejustment OF road
plans and cnrtail the proposed
work. II was thot advisable to
confer with the Commissioners,
and suggest that it it were possible
to do so, it would be advisable to
create bridge fund Independent
of the road fund and keep areverse
on hand for emergencies, so that
road building plans would not be
subject to the continual menace Of
food disturbances.
It will be noticed above that the
increase in road fund this year over
last year, was only about 3 per cent,
which is probably not much in ex-
cess Of the increase in miles Of road
to be cared for. But cost OF labor
and materials has increased at least
25 per cent, and will probably av-
erage more, so that the money rails
ed will not pay for more than three
fourths as much work as formerly,
and perhaps not more than two
thirds.
1t must appear, then, that the
average amount of work done will
be less than formerly, while every
section is clamoring for more than
| it formerly received, SO some, IT not
all are going to be disappointed.
From what we have heard, it is safe
to guess that the disappointment
is general. We feel that we are
getting the worst Of it in the east
ern part Of the county, and we are
not alone in our feelings.
Whether we are getting square
deal depends upon the distribution
made Of the funds that are raised.
We believe that some informa-
ton along that line should be plac-
ed in NE hands Of the people, We
do not know how much Money is
