difficulties that we have gotten into
oS reason OF special road legislation.
Yours very truly,
Thomas c. McRae,
Governor. ="
Now in all sincerity and fairness
ana by all means the extra session
should pass some kind of bin that
will be acceptable to the Government
that Arkansas may get her quota of
Federal aid To fail or refuse to do SO
would be a great injustice to the heavy
burdened taxpayers and great cal
amity to the good name and credit of
the state. If state highway system
is adopted and put into operation it
will not be long until good roads will
traverse the state, the counties will
begin to be relieved of their heavy tax
burden and Arkansas will be able to
take her place among her sister states
where she belongs.
But some may say that Randolph
county has her road problem solved,
and 50 we have, locally speaking, but
many Of the counties will not or can
not do what this county is doing
hence we would have many broken
links in the public highways. If we
wait for the different counties to build
their roads we will wait many years
before we have connected system of
highways throughout the state.
Then in order that the county judges
may have a fund in addition to the
regular levy of road tax | would favor.
If need be, the raising of the auto and
gasoline tax to the extent that 1t
might be split on $3.50 basis so that
the counties would get as much tax
money as they are now getting in order
that they may go on building their
local roads and maintain them as this
county is starting out to do. BY do
ing this those who use the roads most
would bear the greatest burden of the
tax.
Again | am in favor of the tax be-
ing levied on all the property Of the
counties. It seems unjust to me for
the lands only to bear the tax burden
to the exclusion of other properties
and am not land holder, either. |
am only a small business man. but use
the roads some, as | have Ford and
would own a real car If | was able.
But | think all commercial enterprises
should bear their portion of the tax
burden. To illustrate: Take the road
from POcahOntas to Walnut Ridge.
The land holders along that road bond
ed and taxed TO the limit and two
years ago II was finished and Is now
worn out until those land holders will
have to bear this tax burden for twenty
years unless some kind of relief is
offered. And who wore this road
out? Was it the landowner? No. l
say that less than five per cent of the
wear on this road was made by the tax
payers Of this district, but business
men. pleasure seekers, trucks, taxi
ears and other commercial interests.
| think it an unjust discrimination
against the farmer to tax his land on
ly to pay for improvements such as
these.
There is too much to this question
to discuss in detail in one short news
paper article. But let's get together
on this highway proposition and If
the bill Is not just what It should he
ask our legislators to amend it so It
will meet all demands and by all
means let us not let the extra session
pass without securing the vast sum of
Federal aid that is now due and will
