Landowners Are Meeting

Landowners in the Western Ran
dolph Road Improvement District are
holding meetings over the county and
are preparing to contest the collection
of taxes assessed against their land IN
the district. We received two com.
munications this week on the subject.
The first was from NIiddlebrook and
was as follows:
'On Saturday night Feb. ., 1924.
about fifty landowners of Sloan town
ship me- at the Middlebrook school
house ana discussed our position ON
the payment Of the unjust road tax of
Western Randolph Road District and
organized and pledged ourselves to
stand pat and refuse to pay the UN-
JUST tax. We also elected or appoint
ed from the chair committee, the
undersigned, to investigate the case
and to get in touch with a good attor-
ney and employ him to investigate the
case and if we find that we have n case
and any possibility Of heating the said
tax we are going to fight with all our
might and means and fight to finish.
I'VE do not have the least idea Of
doing this alone bu. feel sure that we
have hundreds Of good men who will
stick with MS, all over the district and
we ask the help and cooperation of all
pnrtics involved. We also ask that no
one pay this road tax until you hear
from us again for as soon as our at
torney investigates the case we will let
you know the results Of the investga-
tiOn.
You may refer to Mr.. Sam Lindscy's
statement in this paper last week and
that is almos. proof that we are in
the right and can beat the thing if we
stand pat and together.
I'VE will meet again at the Middle
brook school house ON Saturday night,
Feb. 10, to discuss further steps in re-
gard to the case and ask that all those
over the district who can, to meet with
us. We would like to hear from some
others to the taxpayers in regard to
their views and opinions. J. Il. Cald-
well Esq, c. X. Phipps, Il. Il. Spence,
Committee for Sloan Township"
The other letter was from Maynard
and read as follows:
Notice to landowners in the social
ed Western Randolph County Road In
provement District. Your IMMEDI-
ATE ACTION is NECESSARY.
IF the Western Randolph Road Tax
is paid this year, 1t will have to be
paid every year until the entire claim
is paid in full, together with the inter
est thereon, which will be approximate
ly S5O0,O00,O0 with the interest added.
1T is right to pay all JUST claims
but it is out of reason to pay money
for which you have received nothing
