In an editorial in the Hartford Her
aid this week, among other things We
note the following:
1.-The Hartford Republican. in
an article last week, says The
Herald did not take a stand in
the recent road tax election. If
the Republican will consult the
files it will be found that the
Herald came out editorially for
the road tax and has continued
to do so internationally &C."
Internationally, yes, that's right,
like the word. it exactly expresses my
idea of the Herald's position. When
the Fiscal Court called the election
and gave the Herald an order to pub
lish the call &C., it did come out and
approve the call for the election and
supported the tax proposition lin.

after which the Herald closed up like
a clam, and then after the election
accused the Fiscal court of forcing

denim the Court for the very thing

weeks previous. Evidently the Her
aid has a master somewhere, some
how, because it completely changed
tactics after the big Wiggle" came.

wouldn't bark a single bit for the
road tax, neither would it come out
against it, except after the election

sure that Brother Creep was for the
road tax proposition, personally, be-
cause he let that fact be plainly
known. No, this office did not print
the petitions for the road tax eler-
ton, neither did we sign one, and
more than that, we do not have any
idea as to who circulated them, or at
whose instigation and plotting" they
were circulated.
We invite friendly criticism from
our friends, but you may rest assured
of one thing, that is no man, not
even a set of men have undertaken
to tell us just what the policy of the
paper should or Nnust be, there has

Republicans policy and while it is

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ROAD
TAX ELECTION

Looking over the figures showing
the results of the road tax election in
Ohio county on August 2, it will be
seen that the proposition carried in
rs of the "a voting precincts and al
so carried in four of the eight magis
terial districts, and in one district.
viz: FOrdsyille, the proposition car
ried by more than three to one. The
magisterial districts of Hartford,
RockpOrt and Bartlett were the other
three in which the road tax carried.
In Beaver Dam magisterial district,

High cost of living has the boards
at the present time, in the public
mind, we even hear more of the II. c.
l.. than of the league of nations, due
to the fact that we are brought into
direct contact with the proposition
of surviving almost every day of our
lives There is a bill to pay each day,
of one sort or another, and the payer
generally feels like he had been
sand-bagged when the collector gets
through with him. There is one side
to the question which has receiv-
ed but little, if any notice at all. The
Groceryman's prices, as a rule, when
compared with those asked by the
dealer in drygoods, clothing, shoes
and kindred lines looks like a one
cent piece with hole punched in it.
We are attempting to hold the rate
of profit on flour and other neces-
saries at fixed amount, yet let the
drygoods merchant run wild on every
article he has for sale, and his mer-
chandise is just as necessary to the
comfort and maintenance OF the race
as is flour, meat, lard, sugar &c.
Every man ought to have a fair profit
on his effort, it makes no difference
as to his line of endeavor, but plum
dering the helpless is another thing
altogether. Let the investigation
be thorough and if a halt is to be
called let it be general.

notwithstanding the overwhelming
vote of Prentiss against the tax, the
majority of the whole district against
II was only ten votes, and somewhat
similar results was obtained in the
nagisterial district where the precinct
of Centertown was overwhelmingly
against the proposition and in which
the precinct of Ceralvo gave only 3
votes in favor of the tax, yet taking
the entire magisterial district into
consideration the majority against
the tax was only 23, as 3 of the 8
voting precincts in Centertown Magis-
terial district gave a majority in ia
vor of the tax.
Every precinct in the mining dis
trict gave a majority in favor of the
tax except south Rockport.
One notable feature of the tax cam
paign and the tax vote was the fact
that 1t was strictly non-political. The
strong Democratic precincts of Blu
ford, Heflin, Aetnavile and Herbert
gave majorities in favor of the tax.
while the Republican strong-holds OF
Rosine, Select, Arnold and Crom-
well gave majorities against the tax.
Some of the strongest champions
of the tax were leading Democrats
while some of the county's strongest
Republicans were found among those
who bitterly opposed the proposition.
The thought cannot be escaped that
the sentiment in favor of good roads
is growing in Ohio county. This was
especially demonstrated in the num-
Der of men past the age Of fifty who
supported the tax. A large number
of these men, who under a technical
construction of the law are exempted
from road working at an age of fifty
years, were big hearted and generous
enough, and so DESTROYS of seeing
the county improve and go forward
and make progress that they warmly
championed and supported the road
tax,
Another conspicuous feature was
the number of men who pay heavy
taxes in the county that were in favor
of the tax. A great majority of the
largest tax payers of the county ia
vored it. both in the towns and in
the country.
1t is understood that there will be
no further vote taken on the ques-
tion for a while, but the indications
are that the sentiment in favor of
better roads. coupled with the fact
that better roads can not be had ex-
cept by increasing the revenue to pay !
for them, will grow and take such !
hold upon the people as that sooner /
or later a re-submission of this ques- /
ton will be universally demanded and |
the number of those who oppose it |
will be very few indeed.
Such a day is certainly and surely /,
