community investment, in total dis
regards of higher taxes.
In Randolph about two hundred
miles of c ravel surface roads were
constructed a few years apo. They
do not compare in value with hard
surface roads, but the land holders
ia the communities through the
roads were built voluntarily aided In
building the roads to the extent of
about half the cost. In other words,
they voluntarily helped to construct
roads through their reflective com
munities and as a result of enhanced
vulu- ar paying turner taxes, but
the old homestead seemed to be con
tented the last time I passed thrown
that county and some of them related
with manifest feelings of pride the
story of how the spirit of co-opera-
think Juwn should double his dona
