Timber Holding of II Residents.
From every section of the coanty I
coming the cry for better road. The
majority of the farmer favor crushed
rock for the top of the road bed, it hav
ing been demonstrated that the crushed
rock of Columbia county i admirably
adooted for that nuroose. U. L. Hvde.
of Yankton, state that if the county
court will place a rock crusher in the
vicinity ol Houlton, that every resident
of that section will donate from one to
two week labor with their team, hauling-out
the chovned no atone on the
road between Yankton and Houlton.
From many other sections come th
cry for better roads and solid road beds.
in come location gravel can be secured,
and in other it will be necessary to have
crushed rock,
Yernonia Grange baa declared in favor
of a 10-mill road tax.
There would be more money for road
work, schools snd other purposes, if non
resident timber laud bolder were com
pelled to pay their just share of taxa
tion. Timber tracts are excentionablr valu
able holdings. The small farmer who is
developing the country and i a home
uunuer auouid not be taxed lor nia iator,
while the non-resident timber land hol
der is reaping tbe benefit. A resident
of Yankton owns a 86-acre farm, that be
is striving to put in a proper state of
cultivation. Across the road a non-resident
own 80 acre of valuable timber
land. The resident bomebuilder Is taxed
more for hi 35 acres of land, than is
paid by the non-resident timber land
bolder for 80 acre. This condition of
things should be remedied. Across the
river in Washington they have tried the
Iilanof taxing np the non-resident timber
amis, and it work admirably.
