(Editor News:) If you will favor ma, with a little Bpuce in your valuable paper, I will give the people of our great county a few of my Ideas as to good roads and levying taxation to make them good. Now, there are a great many of our good people who have not the time to keep posted on county affairs as well as they would like to ou ac count of having a great deal of their own work to attend to. They think that county business Is what the county officials are elected to office to attend to. uud they leave It to them to "do. While In the main they are right, the fact Is uudisputnble that they should know something of what Is being done by the county officers. In the first place we all want good roads, and we all know that It takes money to build them. This admitted, the question arises, which Is the best way to raise that money? This year of 19u9, the good road campaign work was started, and for the first time In the history of road building In the county there was money enough to make a good start with. in January, 1909, the County Court saw fit to make a levy of 29-10 mills for general roads, and the people in twenty-seven districts in the county, wanting more mouey extended on I ho rends in their re spective dlstWcts, voted a specinl tax ranging from two to ten mills, show ing that they desired more money to be expended on the roads. IUIs my opinion, judging from what Information I have from most of the taxpayers with whom I have spoken on the subject, a 5 mill levy should be made for general roads, or whatever Is agreed upon, and the fact of the levy made public by tho 1st of November of each year. In this way If any district desired a certain sum oluoney to expend on its roads the residents of Ihut district would have something correct to figure from: for ' instance, if the county court Bhould decide upon a 6 mill levy, nnd It should be found neces sary to set aside 1 14 miles for bridgeB and emergencies, it would give each district In the county 3V6 mills for tl.eir roads. Then If they wanted more money for road im provement they could figure exactly how much more. It Is my opinion a good general levy would be better, for the reason there are a number of districts In the county that would like to have more rond money if they could se cme It without resorting to a special tax, as there Is more or less trouble, and In many Instances moro or less Ill-feeling caused between neighbor hoods because of the special levy. For one other reason 1 favor a gon eral levy, and that Is, all districts will Improve their roads alike, and as a result, in a few years Douglas coun ty will bo up with our sister counties in the matter of good roads.
