If any farmer in Orange
will take a few minutes he will real-
that he himself is each
year an enormous tax or loll to bad
loads; and it is a tax which not only
does not yield any return at all, but
does himself and his property a
harm.
Suppose we taken a man whose
property is assessed at
the proposed bond Issue If the
maximum rate Is charged of cents
en the worth of property his
road tax for the year will be 13.50,
no poll tax and no labor tax. At
present his road tax Is 12.50 and
days on the roads and proportion of
the poll. Rating his labor at per
day, he is now paying tax and
part of his poll. the bond is-
sue he will pay less tax than M
is now paying. the present
system he is paying what I have re-
to above as the enormous tat
to bad roads. Let us sec what it is.
A man who owns worth of
property usually has a team of two
horses or mules. Say this man lives
miles from market, and makes one
trip a week during the year. Ha
usually makes more than this. In
going to market over the present sys-
of roads he can only haul one-
to one-fourth the amount which
can haul over a good road. It
I Mm one lo three hours longer
to go and return from market than
it would over a good road; so that
en each trip we will say he loses
throe hours of himself and team in
going to market and carries only
half a load. Thus he would have
I to make two trips in order to get
i the amount to market which he could
i carry over a good road with one trip,
and on the two trips he would lose
I six hours. Now any man and team
Is worth at least cents hour.
Then six hours lost at cents an
hour is which each farmer
practically loses in each trip when
he markets his produce. Averaging
his trips during the year at would
make bis tax to bad roads
which Is about what the average farm
paying tax on worth of
property loses during the year In ac-
i time of himself and his team,
loss of time In not being able to
carry a full load, to say nothing cf
the wear and tear on his team and
harness and vehicle, the lack of op-
of attending church when
desired, the impossibility of his
reaching school regularly, and
lack of opportunity for carrying
on the social intercourse which is
necessary to the life of every
man being.
I Another tax he pays to bad roads
is that In case of severe illness it
Is practically impossible to obtain
j a doctor in any reasonable time, so
his family is constantly running
a risk of losing their lives in cases
; of emergency because of the
I cal impossibility of getting a
there within a reasonable time
over the poor roads. All these latter
phases cannot be reckoned in dollars
and cents.
If you own less worth
of taxable property you can divide
the above sum and get what you are
paying to the bad roads. If you own
more than worth of property,
you can multiply the above
and get your tax to bad roads.
you going to submit to this tax long-
because it does not come in ac-

It Is the purpose of the authorities
of the graded school to continue
school one month after the public
term closes. The object of the spec-
session Is to give pupils a chance
to overcome deficiencies, and to
strengthen themselves for the
of the next higher grade.
The school has maintained, a spec-
term of four weeks for the past
two summers. The results have been
very satisfactory. The time will
come when, for various reasons,
pupils will not fall behind the
classes. Sometimes the cause Is
sickness, sometimes Is physical de-
such as weak eyes, and
Is due to Indifference, j
lack of application, etc. By attend-

Does the foregoing article copied
from the Progressive Farmer appeal
to you If it does stop this Iniquitous
system that we have been blindly fol-
lowing for so many years, by voting
for the bond issue and good roads. The
only way to break up the six days a

to let every man pay his Just pro-
portion of the road tax In accordance
the amount of property he owns.
If a man owns a lot of property and

construction maintenance of th-
reads, but we submit that the old sys-
of requiring a poor man who lives
In the country to give a whole week
of his time to road duty, ls unfair,
just, and a discrimination.
Let's vote for a system that will
give us good roads now In-
creasing our taxes, and that will
away with the old free labor plan of
working the roads. It Is up to you Mr.
Farmer. You can protect and benefit
yourself If you want to. The county
