Till: MEAX! ROAD LAW.
Au Argument In Its Favor.
Mrditor: In youj jast issue
of the Standard we noted an article
Written by G E Kitthie, Esq, con-
demniD the "Means road law'" In
said article he says "we have a good
road law now in our county and let
U3 not swap it Tor one .that is no
better than our old state law under
which no county can have good
roadS. We do not see how he can
compare the Means road law to the
"old state law," when theMean3 law
provides us with four days free la
bor and a special tax of. 15 cents on
the hundred dollars, valuation pro
vided said tax is needed to keep up
said roads in said townships.
The public roads in No. C town
ship always have been accepted and
kept up by the four days free labor
while we have been paying under
he present road system about $140
special road tax anJ have received
but very little of the $140 dollars on
our roads in No. 6' township. We
do not see how any one can say that
the Means law is no better than the
old state law when it gives us a spe.
cial tax if heeded, said tax to be kept
in said township and only to be used
in keepiDg up the public roads in
said township. Our friend says the
"Means law is very severe in its de
mands and suggests many fines and
imnrisonments." But he failed to
inform the voters of No. G township
that the present load law is severe
and suggests fines and imprison
ments fullv as severe as the Means
law.
We do not wish to have our hands
tied behind our backs (as he says)
nor do we intend to step backwards
in adopting the Means law but our
intentions are to make a great step
forwards in adopting said law. We
agree that "bad roads are one of the
main wet logs that hangs around
our neck" but we claim that we can
have better road3 under the Means
law than we have now under the
present road system and save that
$140 dollars special road tax that we
are paying at present.
The principle reason we petition
el foi the Means law was that the
majority of the people were com-plaining-tUat
taxing a township and
not receiving the.full benent ot aaia
tax was equal to "taxation without
representation." Our friend failed
in his article to inorm the voters of
No. C township that the present road
system pro tided a special tax of 15
cents on the hundred dollars valua
tion of property and fortyfive cents
on each poll and also four days free
labor.
"We hope antl also urge all the
voters of No. G township to come
out to the election" and vote for the
Means road law.

Our Position, l'oIHIoally.
Progressive Farmer. !
For a few weeks The Progressive
Farmer has been "in the swim" po
litically. We do not hate politics,
but we despise partisan methods.
J3ut there are times when we feel it
our duty to push up our sleeves and
exercise the rights of a citizen
Though in no case have we done
this unless we thought we could
serve the cause and the people we
represent. We have not been actu
ated by a desire to aid any man or
oartv.
Of late we have given everybody a
hearing. Democrats, - Republicans
Prohibitionists, People's 'party men
all have had the use of our columns
t
to eive went to their feelings. After
this issue no partisan matter will ap
pear in our columns. So our friends
will ple;e save time and trouble by
not writing such matter. We shal
do our best to educate. Our advice
shall be as in the past : "Vote for

well, you just drop in there
