ARKANSAS ROAD LAW INVALID.

In a decision just handed down, the United States
s.supreme court holds the road law under which the state
sof Arkansas has issued a vast volume of road construction
bonds, to be invalid. The decision is in the case of a
railroad corporation which was taxed for the consruc-
zion of country roads and which objected to the tax on
che ground that the levy was illegally made and that the
taxation was discriminatory.
The decision in the case. is a lengthy one and Will
Undoubtedly be held to govern practically all of the road
Hesitation In the state Of Arkansas and to have a material
Sbsartng upon similar legislation which may be enacted
br proposed in other states. The state Of Arkansas seems
Eo have run wild, If not on road construction, at least

ssbAs@tnstances in which the tax lexies have been made

THE MORGAN COUNTY
ROAD LAW

Mr.. Editor:-
The purpose in view of the draf-
tiers of the recently enacted road law
appears to have been a good one.
Yet l am not so certain but what
the special privileges and immune
ties, the class legislation which the
drafters sought to incorporate with
in it has builded such a skeleton as
will not stand if tested before the
Supreme Court.
The 1st section, after setting out
the number of Commissioners,
makes the Chairman or County
Judge such counties ex-offico mem
Der of the board of commissioners,
and allows him a salary Of $4,000
per annum. Hence, such County
Judges are drawing two separate
salaries from the same county treas
ury. In other words, the Board OF
Commissioners are given $4,000
per annum for legal advise which
they do not need. cannot see
where any one official can consti
tuionallv draw two salaries from
the same treasury.
Then there are three men legis-
lated into office. which is danger
GUS and an unconstitutional way of
procedure. They are in office by
legislation until September 1st 1892
and the only way of getting them
out of office is to repeal the law.
and that cannot be done until 1928.
/ have not one thing against these
men who have been legislated into
office. I am just discussing the pro-
visions of the law as drafted. The
Act specifically provides that no
person is eligible to membership on
the Board, unless he lie both road
and poll tax subject, and yet one
or two of the men elected into Office
is over the required age and are
not subject to road tax.
The End. section defines the du-
ties of the Superintendent of roads,
yet it provides no punishment for
failure to perform his duties. And
yet I am sure that so long as the
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1921-06-24

present Superintendent is in Office,
we will need no such provisions,
because there will be no failure Of
duties.
Section s., Provides that all male
inhabitants of certain ages shall be
required to pay, unless exempted
for disability, 81 50 as road tax.
The word male" should have been
eliminated, since there are no dis
tinction now between the citizens.
They are all voters provided they
are qualified. The woman has a
right to say how this government
shall be guided. She has right to
cast her vote, utilize the franchise
privilege. That great privilege can
not be enjoyed by people unless all
equally share in the burdens Of gov
eminent. Privileges cannot be grant
ed to one class of people and the
burdens upon another class of peo-
pie. The woman is now legally a
male citizen and should bear her
part of the burdens of government
and the up keep of the road is one
of those burdens.
I have been always opposed to
woman suffrage because I knew
that they were not physically able
to use it. 1t is not the plan of crea-
ton for women to have the fran.
chise, and when we attempt to
change we are taking the pillars
from under our civilization.
Section S provides for the impris-
onment for debt. This practice was
out lawed long ago.
Under these observations. am
constrained to think that there is
not enough of the law constitution
al to be workable.
