Just tho muUt t a pout Paper Output tj COUNTY KOAOS. A Great Deal of Dissatisfaction -County Assessor Criticised. Ki'iTou Extkkpkisk: There ap pears to be a great kick among the taxpayers ot Polk couHty in regard to our county roads, and if the rumors that are going the rounds are true, we have a right to kick. To take the money from this dis trict to build roads elsewhere would he unjust, for the simple reason that the roads are in as bad condi tion south of Monmouth as they are anywhere in Polk county, and ot course it would be natural and right for these men who have paid in the hard cash to demand the use ot the same on these Ind roads. If the ro ids were passable, then it would be right to help build these hud roads. We will just take for an example t.lm road from Fall City to Dallas Tfir. were not for the sawmills the farmers could maintain a good road, but. these null-men will haul 111 in ber in the fall as long as they can psssibly get through, cutting the very bottom out of the road, thus destroying the work already done in the spring. Now, gentlemen, would it " be right for the taxpayers to pay an extra .tax to build roads for those mill teams to destroy? I claim that a road can't be built out of the course gravel they are using to stand the heavy four-horse loads and narrow tires. It seems that the new law giving the county court power to appoint a general supervisor does not meet with general approval, but I be lieve that is all right. As to whether Mr. Huntley is competent or not I will not say, as I have no means of knowing, but if he is competent to fill this office he will save his wages many times over. You are all well aware of the fact that our roads are in as bad condi tion now as they were twenty years ago. There are several reasons for this: First Incompetent supervisor. Second The road bed wearing down to the clay, making a chan nel for water. Third Lack ot drainage. Fourth Lack of system. Fifth Lack of education on road building. . Siith The country being settled KNTKRPK1SK, INPKl'KN'PKNCK, and diversified fanning, dairying etc. In tact there U such a chaise taking place that our road will be visod much more. There are other reasons too numerous to mention. If the road supervisors will educate themselves; have a good road convention, say nhotit two a year, all meet together at Pallas with the enmity court und discuss road building it would he of great hte(it to them and to the county. I don't think you will bear a great Kick from the farmer if the money is used judiciously. There has not been a lick of work done in the district south of the old Da mon farm south of Monmouth this season, but within a mile of Mon mouth where the roads were com paratively good, with the exception of a few loads of gravel last year. Tl mitiKrvisor tilled up a lot (I mud and dirt on top of the gravel, makmir a mud hole, and this year the present supervisor is piling up more mud. I claim throwing this road up in this manner is waste of mon-v: iust as well throw me monev in the ocean, uno ss the road is finished with eravel. I also see that our supervisor is using the old dump scraer and crowder. There would be just as much sense in farmers trcwiiiE binders away and going back to th self-reapers of fifty years ago. 1 he county nas four good, improved road graders, and the road can be built better and for one-fifth the cost. I be lieve if we had a uniform syBtem of road building we woald have good roads, and when the taxpayers get value received for their money in good romU there will be. no kick coming. Another little item I can't see through is why uots our assessor have four men help in h'.s work, hi Benton county I have been in formed that Mr. Hush, assessor of that county, runs his farm in Kings Vallev nd does the work alone. Benton county gets its work' done for sfSOO. What docs it cost Polk county? It is true our county is a little larger, but if Benton county Too much housework wrecks wo men's nerves. And the constant care of children, day and night, is often too trying for even a strong woman. A haggard face tell the story of the overworked housewife and mother. Deranged menses, eucorrhca and falling of the womb result from overwork. Every housewife needs a remedy to regulate her menses and to keep her sensitive female organs in perfect condition. VINE"CARDUI is doing this for thousands of American women to-day. It cured Mrs. Jones and that is why she writes this frank letter : Glendeane, Ky., Feb. 10, 1(01.
