' GOING IN DEBT FOR ROADS. 9- (Continued From Page Nino.) tfority, with the result that the roads 1 -are built and the value of property , "was greatly enhanced. The increased . value was so great that the tax -ritca aro less than in the adjoining . counties, where a system of good roads has not been built. As tho benefits resulting from a system of good roads cover a long period of time equity demands that the rising generation should bear n portion of tho cost, and that tho peo . pie who will surely move jn as soon as good roads are built pay a portion of the cost. Building roads on borrowed capital insures immediate benefits, instead of by installments, as would be tho case under the "pay ns you go" plan. By building tho roads NOW it is possi ble to anticipate by many years the advantages resulting from cash taxes. It is like buying a house, n. farm or a busmcsB on the install ment plan: you have it and receive the benefits from it while you nro paying for it. By tho building of a system of roads now, under a bond issue, a county can save money; be causo this mothod results in cheap ening tho cost, and insures better methods of construction. If the im provements aro undertaken on a large calo tho cost of tho various units is decreased. If, instead of building .four or fivo miles of road annually with tho small amount of cash tax available, you should build, say thirty miles by means of a bond issue, tho cost of tho larger undertaking would be correspondingly cheaper. It is al ways chenpor to buy or build by tho wholesale than by tho retail. One of the reasons for this is 'that no re liable contractor will undertake tho smaller job because ho cannot afford t by the necessary machinery. When only a few miles of road are built aunuuliy from cash taxes the' work is often dono with inadequate machinery nnd by men who know nothing about scientific road build ing. On the other hand, a county enn well afford to employ a competent highway engineer to superintend the work when a scheme is adopted to improve nil of the niniu highways of a county under a bond issue. Com petent supervision is the cnix of the whole matter. If the roads are built by one who knows, and if they are properly maintained when built, they will, like wine, increase in excellence with age. The objection is often made that bond issues place too much of n bur den upon tho taxpayer. Let u see if this is true. A tax of 2V mills on each one dollar's worth of prop erty makes it necessary for a per son owning $1,000 worth of property to pay $2.50 annually for good roads. A farm or a factory worth $10,000 would bo assessed $25 annually. If one is so fortunate as to own $100, 000 worth of real estate ho would have to pay $250 annually. A 2- mill tax on each $1,000 worth of property in the county will produce $2,500 for every $1,000,000 worth of taxable property, in tho count. If tho county has $20,000,000 worth of tnxable property, then a 2V mill tax will produce $50,000 n year, which will be sufficient to pay tho interest on $1,000,000 worth of bond at 5 per cent per annum. By issuing, say, $500,000 worth of bonds, the interest can be paid and a sinking fund cro- 'atcd which will redeem the bonds in j less than twenty years. The sinking , fund can bo placed on interest and j thus help to pay the interest on the bond?. I Thus it will Ik seen that -i 'lx' mill i tax will entail only a small burden on tho taxpayers, even if he has 10 pay it, but n u mat tor of fmt the eiihaucbd value and the inert'iined citizenship have in nearly all ease which have come under my observa tion been sufficient to pay the inter est and create the winking fund with- i out having to iiicreiiM' the etuit'iit j taxes for this purpose. i TOM MOKFAT 1 O.
