While, practically every citizen in Cache County is in favor of good roads, they are not all agreed as to the best plan of getting them. Some advocate that we tax each year for road building, paying for the ycad as we go.

This up is the plan that has been in effect, so many years in Cache County and we are still in the mud. As well tr to build a modem house by continually patching the roof of a shack as to try to build a good nad system by continually patching a poor one. This plan is not only inefficient, but it i expensive. Out of the 19 mills levied for county purposes last year 5 mills ($180,000) was levied for road building and maintenance. This year another $180,000 is to be levied for this purpose. These annual levies of $180,000 used only to patch a poor system are practically thrown away. They give us our present abominable system of roads. The other way in which money annually collected to build roads may be used Js to build each year a few miles of permanent roads. This plan will eventually build a good system. But who will decide where to start on such a system. Will Lewiston be content to wait 15 years for good roads while Hyrum and Wells-vill- e are receiving the entire proceeds from the tax and prospering, because of their good roads, at the expense ot other part s of the county? Such a plan is not workable. A great many progressive citizens in Cache County argue that the county should build a complete and an efficient road system at once by bonding. The arguments in faor of a bond taxation has been country, with the result that in tome parts ofthe west, where the traveling agents - of th League were quite successful last year in whom converts they relieved of $16 apiece, they are not gaining the membership increases that they expected. showing this year When the American fanner takes the time to think over a political project carefully, he may be generally counted upon to withold his enthusiasm from anything that has too radical a flavor.
