tion materially. 1t is all question
of whether the people are willing to
pay the price of decent highways.
There is nothing to be gained by de-
ceiving ourselves. We must weigh
all the facts and go into this matter
with our eyes open.
For our part we would gladly pay
more taxes if we could have the use
of good roads now, considering inter
est on the 500, 900 as SOFT of rent
for the privilege of having good
roads
We are quite sure that good roads
will increase the value of property in
this county several times the cost of
our taxes for these roads, just as paw
ing always more than pays its cost
by increasing the value of adjacent
property. 1t is demonstrated fact
that good roads will make farmer
$40 for every dollar it adds to his
taxes. There is no question about
this.
The Republican opens its columns
for signed articles of reasonable
length dealing with the proposed
bond issue, preferring to let the peo-
pie themselves discuss and settle
this very important issue.
In considering this matter let us
remember that statement of C. E.
Cox Of Ahsahka, who tells how a
brother of his, living in another state,
where he owns farm, founght a
proposed bond issue for good roads.
He got mad and offered to sell his
farm for, if we remember correctly,
$1,000. After the road was con-
structed he refused $1,000 tor this
same farm. and is now booster for
good highways.
We remember case in Moscow
where aman, owning a home in dis
trict they proposed to pave, tried tc
sell out. He placed low price or
his home. Fortunately he did not
happen to find a buyer, there being
no demand for property in that part
of Moscow because of the mud
After the street was paved buyers
showed up and the man refused the
price that would have paid a eoot
profit on the paving. That made t

Socialism Losing Ground
In The United States

Heretofore the advance of Social
ism has been steady and uninter-
rupted. Each succeeding election has
revealed vigorous growth, and the
party was i'll prepared for the great
loss Detailing it in the recent national
election. To say it has been a severe
disappointment to Socialists is put
ting it mildly. 1t has shocked So
cialist leaders, who are striving in
vain for an explanation.
The best explanation is the now
widespread dissatisfaction among
Socialists themselves with their
leadership, and the practices of the
party. American citizens who have
Joined the Socialist party in the hope
of honest reform. have grown tired
and disgusted with the spirit of dis
loyalty and treason and anarchy too
often rampant among the leaders,
some of whom sneer at our flag and
plot the overthrow of this govern
ment. When the spirit of |. w.
w. ism dominates Socialism it is time
for American citizens to abandon Soc
ialism, and that is evidently one of
the prime rea ms for the recent rapid
decline of tn party in the United
States.
For years, in fact, there has beer
a cankering decay in the Socialist or.
ganization.
