Traveling over the county shows that the present Marion county court is doing some good roads work in a practical manner, The grade has been made up the big Ankeny hill in a man ner that is very creditable to those responsible for the work. The grades were laid off by County Surveyor B, B, Her rick, assisted by Supervisor Whiteman and Commissionei Beckwlth, The grade up the big hill is very gentle, and one can al most drive on a trot up or down, and autos and traction en gines will find the climb easy and the descent gentle. The roadway proper is covered with broken rock, just as il is blasted out ot the quarry, and it makes a good macadam driveway without the expense of crushing, Supervisor Whiteman has pot a great deal of work done with a small appropriation because he is personally interest ed in the work. , , The Marion county court at the beginning of the present administration laid down tho rule that each road distric would be confined to the funds that belonged to the district, No moneys have been taken out of the general county funds and given to this district as has been the custom, When districts know that all the taxes levied in that dis trict are going to be expended in the district, and no more, they are interested in making them go as far as possible. The present county court is getting a great deal of dona tion work done, The grafting system of working teams only eight hours a day ana counting time from hitching up at the barn has been broken up. Nine and ten hour days are being put in on all road work, and the farmers feel that they are working for themselves, When the county was handing out the money from the general fund each distiict was trying to work the court and get all they could out of the general grab-bag, Work has begun on the Swegle road district, and the first section of a macadam road will be built on the way to Sil verton. The Swegle district levied a special tax and with what was due them from their share of the road tax, about $700 is available, ' They will have 300 loads of crushed rock available and Mr, Jefferson has been named to put it down, The present county court finds crushed rock too expensive to use it extensively. By blasting out the ba alt properly it is broken up into pieces three to four in'ches square, That rolled down properly makes a hard surface road. The county requires four load rollers instead of two, Judge Bushey and Commissipners Goulet and Beckwitn are getting a great deal of volunteer work done. When the property; ovv ers realize that there is no graft in road work they willingly contribute, When we speak about graft in road work we do no moan that any county official or road supervisor ever stole a dol lar or took one dishonestly, But any system that can be worked against the public treasury will be worked. The Marion county court made a grand start in the rig. t direction when it refused to levy a dollar of taxes but tor actual fixed charges, A large general fund that could be reached after by grasp ing individuals was a constant incentive to corruption. The people will be wiling to levy a special road district tax when they find out two things, to-wit: First That they cannot get roads at the expense of the general taxpayer. Second That the monev tney do'raise by taxation will be honestly expended. For establishing these pif.cioles Judge Bushey and his colleagues are entitled to credit, Marion county has about the lowest county tax levy in the state. Marion county is on the soundest highway policy that has yet been adopted, This county is getting along without a salaried county roadmaster, It is not permitting road supervisors to overdraw their ac counts a dollar. It is applying business principles to road building, While some matters might be done better and would be done differently by other officials, the present county court are not afraid to correct their own work when they have gone wrong, 70 Years with Coughs and Colds Wc have had seventy years of experience with Aycr's Cherry Pectoral.
