F ir s t D em ocrat from the Sixth.
For Better Roads.
Norway, Oregon,
Dec. 24, 1904.
E ditok H erald : Please give me
a little space in your paper for
few words on this subject, from a
Shuck-Hill standpoint.
It is a bit
ter pill for anyone to have to swal
low, and always will be to wallow
through this road, if the roads are
not worked on a better plan than
they have been in the past. In the
first place, the system of taxation
needs fixing.
The man who pays
$3.00 road tax works a day and a
half out of 3C5 days in mud and
slush, accomplishing very little in
the betterment of the road. This is
a perfect shame at the present stage
of civilization for as proud and up
to-date people as we Americans
claim to be, to submit to the use of
simh miserable excuses for roads.
Y fe ca% certainly do better, and
why not get at it right away and let
the present generation have a part
of the benefits of better roads while
they live. We should all give at
least one day out of each month to
the road
I would not give a snap
of my finger for a man with not
enough public spirit to fix a mud
hole right at his own gate. What
we get out of this world all depends
on how we apply ourselves to re
ceive it.
I f a man wishes to ride a
slick horse, he must use the brush.
I understand that it costs $3,500
per mile to build roads. While the
rock and gravel are handy and free,
why not help ourselves to them. I
want things changed some way, for
it costs too much for a man to get
to town with his wife to spend a
little chicken money.
She has tc
give four chickens for the trip, so in
the course of a year she will have
to raise a whole lot of chickens to
get a dress around for a baker's
dozen.
Now, Mr. Editor, I am not
in the least angry oyer these things,
but they are straight facts all the
same, and when a fellow’s pocket
book looks as though an elephant
had walked all over it, he begins to
to realize it almost too Bensibly for
comfort.
When this generation passes away
and others come on to use the last
ing improvements throughout our
land and country, we should put
our shoulders together and pull and
roll up sand and stone, and leave
little mounds that will show to the
world lor ages to come that people
in 1905 tried very hard to do some
thing for the rising generation.
I f more time were spent in agi
tating and planning good roads, it
would prove a great benefit to the
public. Our lands will increase in
value to double what they will with
the present bad roads. I t costs im
migrants considerable to travel
about to look at the country, which
presents an uninviting appearance
under present conditions in old Coos
where the life-long and generous-
hearted old Southerners and N orth
erners have been so long together
that they all look the same to me.
So, come, oue and all, whether you
have money or not, we are all the
same in Coos, whore honey and
spuds are in abundance.
