The Moining Star. By WILLIAM II. BERNARP, WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Etening, Feb. 25, 1885 EVENING EDITION. COUNTY ROADS. r A leading member of the State "Senate, in a letter to us of 'the 23d inst., writes concerning the Legisla ture and the public roads as follows: ! "By the wav I notice your remark about the roads. I thmk that you, unintentional-. ly, do ns some injustice. I know that many gentlemen here, like myself, desire to do something for the improvement of our pub lic roadsbut by reason of the varied soil, climate and topography of the State, as well as the different conditions of our popula tion in the East and the West,-it is exceed ingly difficult to frame aDy statute suitable to all sections of the State. My own opin ion is mat tne matter should be left to the courts of each county, and that many con victs who are now confined in the jails or in the Penitentiary should be used on the roads. Capt. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, a gentleman of much intelligence and infor mation, has drawn a bill to provide for his county, and several oi us propose to avail ourselves of this act. I find that it is ex ceedingly difficult to deal satisfactorily with jail of the questions coming up. I think the members of the General Assembly are en deavoring to do their duty but feel that i, : 1 !ii , . ,. men wura wm tie incomplete. It affords us pleasure to publish the above although it was not written for thfi Star TW ; - . uvi XICBJO JJ V7 U the slightst desire or intention to do injustice to the Legislature. We auww BuiiicLuiug ui me uimcuities under which it labors. If it will only grapple with the most import- ant questions and let the less import-1 ant ones be considered when there is nothing; else to do this paper will make no complaints. An effort to meet the needs of the hour and to satisfy public expectatioa will go for much even though the work should prove comparatively inefficient and u nsatisf actory. Experience is a good teacher, and after a law is tried it can be seen where the defects lie and the next Legislature can remedy it. - There is much force in the opinion of our correspondent that owing to the varied conditions of the people of different sections it is difficult to frame a general law. But we are well satisfied that the only practical, efficient plan for securing the very much needed good county roads is by taxation. Two years ago the Stab discussed this matter and gave some instructive facts and figures to show what a vast saving there would be in time and money if good roads were constructed. The argument was partly based on taxation as a principle. We feel quite sure that any attempt to obtain excellent pub lic roads by any other plan than tax ation will fall very short of the needs of the State, and what an enlighten ed public sentiment has a right to ex pect and demand. ; , In yesterday's Stab, in the column of State news, there were two items that are common and representative. One paper announced that no people from the country were in town be- cause, they could not get there. Even the roads -were, so; bad the mails could not be transported. The other item in another paper was that there were some thirty thousand pounds of machinery at a depot waiting for the roads to. become better so the ma chinery could be transported to the, mines where it was to be used. If it was possible to obtain an ac tual estimate of the losses sustained to the people by delays in transpor tation; by the small' loads hauled on account of baoV roads, by the wear and tear of wagons, harness, &c., by the killing of horses and' mules, - and by the unnecessary time, (and time is money), consumed, we really be lieve that it would aggregate mil lions annually quite enough to put the main roads in good repair and keep them so would be found. Capt. Alexander's plan was adop ted in 1878, and repealed in 1881, as we learn from the Charlotte Observer. It is this in substance: . "In substance this act provides that all the roads now laid out in Mecklenburg are public roads, to be altered or discontinued only by the county commissioners, and all new roads, bridges and fords, are to be laid out, erected, &c, by the order of the same board. "The justices are to divide their town ships into suitable districts, appoint super visors, allot the hands, superintend the workings, inspect and report to the Su perior Court twice a year, purchase ma terial and tools and hire teams, etc. "All able bodied male persons between the ages of 18 and 45 (except the trustees) are required to work four days in every year. The supervisor works four days and every additional day he gets one dollar and fifty cents, and if he has not over 25 bands his pay cannot exceed ten dollars; and if he has over 25 hands it cannfit exceed twenty dollars in any year. He is responsible for the tools and the condition of the roads. The supervisor has all the authority and is subject to all the requirements relating to the overseer under the present State road ' law. - "The general tax is from seven-tenths of a mill to two mills on the dollar at the dis cretion of the county commissioners, and the board of justices of the county, to be collected by the sheriff and paid out by the county treasurer for work, materials, tools, etc. ; and any man can work out his itax. The object is to give every township its own. tax, but the commissioners and justices are to apportion the tax, and the county commissioners are to approve and order the payment of all accounts." There are some other minor fea tures of the'bill now before the Leg islature as amended. This law is not a fair law because it makes scores of men unaccustomed to manual labor work roads they never use. The men who own teams and vehicles are the men to keep roads in repair. These men are usu ally those who own the real estate lying along the roads and adjacent thereto. There is no fairness and justice in. forcing men by law to work for the benefit of others when they are not interested. What is needed are roads equal to those in Pennsplvania equal almost to Tennessee turnpikes. To secure these a better system than any pro posed in North Caaolina will have to be adopted. The Alexander plan would no doubt secure better roads, but when the snows and rains of winter came they would probably be as impassable as ever. It will be seen that a great deal of labor and responsibility is thrown upon the Jus tices of the Peace gratuitous work at that. Supervisors of roads are to re ceive small compensations, &c. Now to construct roads sensibly, judi ciously, scientifically there must be competency and experience. How many men have the needed qualifica tions to superintend the construction of roads? How many men know how to drain them? The Alexander plan, it strikes us, is only a makeshift. Of course il 13 better than no plan, bnt it will not give the State the firm, smooth roads absolutely necessary. THE SPECIAL TAX BONDS. The Star sa;d recently -that there was a growing sentiment in favor of wiping out the repudiating action of the State. We did not mean that the Stab favored the paying of the infamous Special Tax bonds. The position of the Stab has always been that a State is bound to pay its hon est debts if it is able that the prin ciples that apply to Commonwealths as to indebtedness and moral obliga tion are the same that apply to pri vate 'individuals. The State ought to pay every cent it honestly owes compromised debts and all, just as soon as it can do ao without distress ing unnecessarily the taxpayers. But paying the rascally tax bonds than an infamous and irresponsible Legislature issued a Legislature composed of carpet-baggers, unprin cipled scallawag8 and rapacious ne groesis altogether another ques. tion. The Raleierh Rennhli 'respondent of the New York 7W, 0 fMr. W H, nn P.K oo... fMr. lioge Harris, on - "Ci- graphed as follows: a mmHHMli. .. . . - muTsuicu, uuu iwi in iau estate to I secure a f air ad justment of the bonds of the 8tate which have befin rpnnriit.i The amount of these bonds is $16,000,000, the State, and while some of . these bonds are badly tainted with fraud, there ia avery dSv7 S?1! SK th?!rtState "f- SeraVo insists that these bonds should be adjusted "f",- jubii luiae to me state I and the creditor." , . Is there a Constitutional provision against Z paying these very bonds? We . think so. Did th nonni. p i w aaw .white tax-pay North Carolina-r-the era we mean-ever receive any bene- nt .trom these millions ? If fio,:what is r.it80,nat and wberi? : The speciaT-4o the Times represents that legislator fa vor the idea of reimbursing', the school fund to the amount lost by the Radical in vestment Infipecial Tax bonds. Why not go to wok ih 4 a more direct and lesa.doubtful,way( levy a tax for $600,000'and in that way create a school fund. Why take a step that; is. already relied, upon as a precedent for other taxation and to reimburse certain Northerners who were foolish to invest in the ras cally bonds ? Says Mr. Harris: "But the principle is the same in both cases, it tne state reimDurse nereeir to the full amount of the principal invested in special tax bonds, honesty alike requires that the same course shall been taken , with individuals who invested their, money in special tax bonds, and that they shall at least be paid the amount realized by the State from the proceeds of such bonds. It is suggested that 20 per cent, of the $16,-000-000 of special tax bonds would be a fair and just compromise. This would add $3.- 200,000 to the new State debt now funded into 4 per cent, bonds, and upon which the State is amply able to pay interest without oppressive taxation. The animating motive in the whole matter is to recover every bond which has been repudiated, so that there will not be in the hands of any person any paper dishonored by the State." Legislators would do well to tread very gingerly in this .-direction. Walking on eggs will be easier than to tread the path that leads to taxa tion of the people to pay any part of the fraudulent bonds that the people have sworn never to pay A LEGISLATIVE "CBANK." Senator Blair is a very refreshing specimen of a legislator. He is the latitudinanan Yankee who intro duced the bill to tax tbe people to educate the negro. ,, That was the real end in view. He is the same lovely Solon who introduced a bill to pay every man in the North who served for three months in the war a pension. As there were nearly or quite three millions first and last who were in the fight against the South, it is estimated that it would require a thousand million dollars to meet this expense. But this charlatan has other schemes quite as absurd as those mentioned. A special to the New York Times from Washington says of him: "Some years ago he introduced one which proposed to turn the waters of the Gulf of Mexico back through a canal to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, without much regard to mountain chains or great lakes or expense. Kioala senators and outsiders called it a bill to make water run up hill. He has also introduced a bill to stoD the manufacture everywhere in this country of whiskey a bill which will not pass at this session. On St. Valentine's Day he intro duced another which appears to have es caped notice. It is a bill Ho promote thrift and to assist the people to preserve them selves from sinking into or remaining in the dangerous and degraded hand to-mouth condition of absolute and direct dependence upon current wages.' " This is the political Will-o-the Wisp that Southern Democrats are following in his wild, unconstitu tional measure to tax the people that the Federal Congress may go into the school teaching business in the States. The best missionary field we know of for a man of parts who has a thorough understanding of the Constitution is the Congress of the United States. 'And so dim have the old Dartv shanpa and party issues become that it is conceiv- fable that he might pass four years in the White House without once being called upon to weigh the differences between 'strict' and 'loose' construction." Nero York -Times, Bep, " Tis true, 'tis pity, pity 'tis, 'tis true." The Democrats for the most part have become about as "loose" constructionists as the Republicans are. The Government of the fathers is now changed into a grand gutta percha instrument and can be stretched to cover any enormity, any wrong, any violation, and demands of the Omnifio Congress. The "strict" constructionists that is, the men who really regard the spirit and letter of the Constitution are now considered- mere sentimentalists and theorizers mere liteiary cranks.

Yet, after putting the duties so high as to prevent importation, as he says, he would repeal the one hundred and , twenty million dollars of fiscal revenues from drink and smoke!
