Spending OF Our Tax Money

There are two practices in the
spending Of our tax money. which
the people of Morgan county should
expect our officials to change. Both
concern the location of secondary
roads.
One is the failure of our counts
commissioners to help control the
location of secondary roads. The
placing is at present almost all left
to the trustees of the various town
ships. The intent of the state law
relative to this seems to be that the
commissioners and trustees should
each act as a check on the other 5
work AS it is, trustees are let To-
cate the roads. They are in many
instances built for the selfish inter
est of the trustees themselves, re-
gardless of the Importance of the
road. In other cases the road re-
ceiving the largest donation is built
first. This latter practice is the sub
ject of the next paragraph.
Trustees are too closely con-
trolled by selfish interests, friends,
and local politics, to locate these
roads to the best advantage of all
concerned. The commissioners are

believe it the duty of the commits
sioners to exercise their influence
to hold back county funds on roads

them to do so. and they will
The other practice referred to is
the location of secondary roads on
roads receiving the largest dona-
ton. This practice permits the rich
man with his money to say where
the public money shall be spent.
The more money the people along
road may have, the more apt they
are to put up large donation. For
instance, three persons on a mile or
road with very little traffic, may be
able due to financial ability or de-
sire for an improved road, to do
nate 5000. Another mile of road in
the same township may have twice
the persons living along it and
twice the traffic, yet the first road
is built because its people can put
up the larger donation. We choose
our officials to locate our roads and
spend our tax money. We do not
choose them to hand over the pub
lie finances to the highest bidder
You say less roads would be built If
donations were not accepted. Are
we so CLOSE that we shall stOop to
anything to try to get more road
than we pay for? Let us spend

Who Are Lone Scouts And What
Can TiieH DO For America?

The Lone Scouts Of America was
originated in 1915 by w. D. Boyce.
who five years earl Ell, III 1910, had
brought Boy Scouting to America.
At that time the Boy Scouts hac
been very successful in the cities,
but had not made scouting available
in a practical way to the boys in the
small towns and on the farms.
Mr.. Boyce was interested in al
boys and wanted to offer the scout
ing program TO boys, whether living
in cities, small towns, or on farms.
Therefore he founded the Lone
Scouts of America.
No one can be 1t good American
unless he is a good citizen, and ev-
cry boy ought to train himself so
that, as a man. he will be able to do
his full duty for his country.
The Boy Scouts must fight against
the same foes and vices that injnre
the nation; they must try to de-
velop the same virtues that the ma
ton most needs BY being great
boys we will become great men.
