N ow that tlie cry for m acadam ized highways is to be heard In the city and country alike farm ers believe, ns a rule, that they are to be called upon to build them. T h is Is wrong. Farmers have enough In the w a y o f taxes to pay without un dertaking the building of elaborate gravel and stone roads. It is unfair that such a burden should l>e added to their already heavy load. W h a te v er may be undertaken in the w ay o f con structing permanent highways should be done at the expense of those who are to reap Its benefits. True it is that the savin g in the cost of hauling crops would be considerable and that this savin g w ould result almost entire ly to the farm er. Hut that Is no rea son for asking him to pay the cost of building such roads. He Is not tho only one to use them.
