S%THgSmSS IglMUmw ' THE DANBURY EPORTERR 1 You Are Paying For 1 I Good Roads==But are 1 I You Getting Them? I It is a foolish farmer who thinks because his coun- m ■ ty has not voted bonds, and because the sheriff is I not collecting anything from him for the purpose, ■ m that therefore he is paying no road tax. Every farm er is paying a road tax—for the bad road itself is a m ■ tax. It charges you enough extra (in increased cost I of travel and transportation) to pay for good roads. ■ I Everybody, therefore, we repeat, is paying for good ■ roads. There are only two kinds of folks--those who ■ pay for good roads and get them, and those who pay m for good roads and don't get them. • n If your county has voted bonds or a special tax, I then it's a case of paying for good roads and getting M them. If on the other hand, your community is do- I ing nothing? then you are paying for good roads, pay- ■ ing enough in the increased cost of hauling and traveling to have them--and are not getting them. ■ The road tax you pay the sheriff is productive: it ■ brings you value received in return. But the mud M tax the bad road charges is a cheat and a fraud: you I pay all the expense and get nothing back. In fact, ■ the road usually gets worse instead of better. ■ This then is the big message that we would leave ■ with every Progressive Farmer reader this week : ■ ■ You are paying for good roads—but you are not get ■ ting them? ■ If you are not—well, the thing to do is to be ■ gin paying tax to the sheriff instead of the Bad Road. ■ M And very soon you will begin rejoicing over some fine ■ V gravel or sand-clay high-ways instead of bewailing ■ I your fate in having to flounder through mud. ■ a There are just a few others suggestions that ought ■ m to be made. m I In the first place, don't get the foolish idea that ■ A building the road is all. Keeping it up after it is m built is just as important. You would not think of m I buying a'thorough-bred horse then turning him in- M to a broomsedge field to shift for himself. If you C V have paid a good price for a horse, you are all the more - I willing to take care of him after you have him. It I ought to be the same way with a road.. The cost of ■ ■ keeping up a sand-clay or gravel road however is m m very small. What you would have to pay as interest money for macadam road will keep up the sand- Don't rest until your county has good highways. ' I Talk the matter over with your neighbors, the lead- \ m ing men in your county, and get a movement started ■ for an adequate tax bond-issue. Then see to it that ■ the money is wisely spent under the direction of ef ficient road-builders, and that they' recognize the m economy of sand-clay or gravel as compared with macadam, and the i'mportance of the drag as the M cheapest of aM road-makers.--Progressive Farmer. ■ H, ■ 4t I ,
