Start back to where the Cave Man

Where each raw clan in turn was

To stand against an endless strife.

Through shattered faith and broken

The world has known its share Of

Its share Of Vandals and Of Huns

greater power by the statute referred
TO- The law should make it obligatory
on the part of the Board of County

these notes should be filed with the

bridges. culverts. drain pipes, and
type of road and every other detail

Congress has been subjected to
much criticism because of an unfound-
ed report, widely disseminated, that
our representatives had exempted
their own salaries from the operations
of the income tax. We have heard
much condemnation Of this supposed
act by men more than ordinarily we'll
informed on public matters. We are
glad to state that this report is un-
true, and Congressmen's salaries are
taxed the same as the salaries of
other people. Any other arrangement
would have been an outrage and
would have justified the indignation
/. we have heard some express; but we
do not find any evidence that such &C
ton was ever contemplated.

A. A. Mcleod at the Annual Meeting
of the Good Roads Association held
at the Court House in Barlow on Fri
day, Nov. 16, 1919
When this county has completed
it's system of improved highways it
will have invested in bridges and i'm
proved roads somewhere near $780,
100000; and estimating the unimprov-
ed roads at $20O.00000 will make
total investment of $3.50, 100000.
With this vast sum invested in public
highways the question Of maintenance
should be one of the greatest i'm
portance to every citizen and taxpay-
er in the county; II we will see to it
that there is a thorough system Of
maintenance organized in our county
for caring for our roads, ten or fifteen
years from today we will still have
good roads but il We continue the
haphazard, unorganized manner of
maintenance that has prevailed in the
past we will wake up some morning
eight or ten years from today and find
that we have only some makeshift
roads. big debt and a whole lot of
experience.
We are happy to see that our fair
state is leading all the southeastern
group of states in the building of i'm.
proved highways; now let us get to.
gether and organize a system of con.
struction and maintenance that will
not only lead the Southeastern group
but all the states of the Union.
By the latter part Of 1918 it is prob
able that our state will have invested
in improved and unimproved roads
and bridges something like $4,000.
100000; such an investment certainly
demands the most careful considera
ton of the best minds of our state.
The object of this paper is to gel
the citizens of this county to thinking
on this subject and hoping that thu
idea may be passed on to other coun
ties until the whole state will b.
thinking on this one important sub
ject of maintaining our highways;
this can be done the result will be al
efficient organization.
It is absolutely impossible to evel
approach efficient management will

cure this organization is what W
want the best thinkers of our state t

we confess that we make this trial
