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
ear on the roads system, Is by
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

i present road tax necessary for the
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
