THE GOSPEL OF FAIRNESS.

Why do some OF the writer's in state
pa pers declare that all county roads are
laid out for the exclusive use OF the
farmer who Is hauling his produce TO
town. Does not the town man who
pays n tax on his auto and whose tax
money is spent on the road have right
TO his say In the natter Does not
the government that is donating cash
from the public treasury-cash that Is
paid in largely by the men OF the larg-
er towns and cities-have a right TO
voice in saving when and where good
roads are built? This paper has stuck
for the farmer and the rights Of the
farmer for more than twenty five years
under the present management but II
stalls when called on 10 demand for the
farmers privileges that are demanded
by no other set of people, When farm
ers attempt TO organize and say that
no one but farmers can hold office or
when they declare that all public roads
are built especially for the use OF the
farmer. they are going beyond the
bounds of reason.-Humboldt Repub-
lican.
Nothing is more indicative OF the
change in general farm sentiment from
the narrow view held by some agricul-
have any right to say as to road
building than the expression of the
Humboldt paper published in a strict
ly agricultural community and, as its
editor declares, an advocate Of the farm
and a defender Of farmers rights.
We need 10 get IT into our heads firm

We have paid our auto tax we have
kissed goodbye to our individual claim
upon the money. II belongs to all Of
us as state, to be spent on roads for
all Of US, as our representatives duly
accredited by ourselves shall spend it
under the privileges and restrictions
of laws made by the Legislators we our
selves elected. All that any Of US
have a right TO ask Is a square deal
