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.
