This measure has nroused great

GOING IN DEBT FOR ROADS.

tfority, with the result that the roads
1 -are built and the value of property
, "was greatly enhanced. The increased
. value was so great that the tax
-ritca aro less than in the adjoining
. counties, where a system of good
roads has not been built.
As tho benefits resulting from a
system of good roads cover a long
period of time equity demands that
the rising generation should bear n
portion of tho cost, and that tho peo
. pie who will surely move jn as soon
as good roads are built pay a portion
of the cost.
Building roads on borrowed capital
insures immediate benefits, instead of
by installments, as would be tho case
under the "pay ns you go" plan. By
building tho roads NOW it is possi
ble to anticipate by many years the
advantages resulting from cash
taxes. It is like buying a house, n.
farm or a busmcsB on the install
ment plan: you have it and receive
the benefits from it while you nro
paying for it. By tho building of a
system of roads now, under a bond
issue, a county can save money; be
causo this mothod results in cheap
ening tho cost, and insures better
methods of construction. If the im
provements aro undertaken on a large
calo tho cost of tho various units is
decreased. If, instead of building
.four or fivo miles of road annually
with tho small amount of cash tax
available, you should build, say thirty
miles by means of a bond issue, tho
cost of tho larger undertaking would
be correspondingly cheaper. It is al
ways chenpor to buy or build by tho
wholesale than by tho retail. One
of the reasons for this is 'that no re
liable contractor will undertake tho
smaller job because ho cannot afford
t by the necessary machinery.
When only a few miles of road are
built aunuuliy from cash taxes the'
work is often dono with inadequate
machinery nnd by men who know
nothing about scientific road build
ing. On the other hand, a county enn
well afford to employ a competent
highway engineer to superintend the
work when a scheme is adopted to
improve nil of the niniu highways of
a county under a bond issue. Com
petent supervision is the cnix of the
whole matter. If the roads are built
by one who knows, and if they are
properly maintained when built, they
will, like wine, increase in excellence
with age.
The objection is often made that
bond issues place too much of n bur
den upon tho taxpayer. Let u see
if this is true. A tax of 2V mills
on each one dollar's worth of prop
erty makes it necessary for a per
son owning $1,000 worth of property
to pay $2.50 annually for good roads.
A farm or a factory worth $10,000
would bo assessed $25 annually. If
one is so fortunate as to own $100,
000 worth of real estate ho would
have to pay $250 annually. A 2-
mill tax on each $1,000 worth of
property in the county will produce
$2,500 for every $1,000,000 worth
of taxable property, in tho count. If
tho county has $20,000,000 worth of
tnxable property, then a 2V mill tax
will produce $50,000 n year, which
will be sufficient to pay tho interest
on $1,000,000 worth of bond at 5
per cent per annum. By issuing, say,
$500,000 worth of bonds, the interest
can be paid and a sinking fund cro-
'atcd which will redeem the bonds in
j less than twenty years. The sinking
, fund can bo placed on interest and
j thus help to pay the interest on the
bond?.
I Thus it will Ik seen that -i 'lx' mill
i tax will entail only a small burden
on tho taxpayers, even if he has 10
pay it, but n u mat tor of fmt the
eiihaucbd value and the inert'iined
citizenship have in nearly all ease
which have come under my observa
tion been sufficient to pay the inter
est and create the winking fund with- i
out having to iiicreiiM' the etuit'iit j
taxes for this purpose. i
