Tt is not our purpose in this arti e'e to make a choice betwen indi vidual candidates for office in the approaching primary in Jaok9on. We wish to call the attention of the voters to the situation that will obtain should a Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues le chosen from the eastern or northeastern portion of the county. Under the bill now pending l>e fore the general assembly, and which, no doubt, will Im* enacted into law, the chairman of said hoard ceases to he a dictator and becomes a servant of the people, sharing his authority equally with the other two members of tin j hoard. Let us look at the situation for a moment. Mr. Stapler, who has no opposi sition, hails from Minish s district, will make a good commissioner find will see to it that his side of the county comes in for a full share "1 road work. What is said ol Mr. Stapler is equally true of his next door neighbor, Mr. Marlow, of Mil ler’s dist rii t. Now, common fairness would seem to suggest that the third and only commissioner to be selected at this primary should come from this section. Granting that competency and honesty of purpose (, f the aspirant should he our guiding influence when we east our ballots, we con tend that the present candidates are all good men and on fin equal foot ing in this respect, and the ques tion now resolves itself into a fair and just sectional representation on the board. The road commissioners without opposition live on the extreme op posite side of the county. We be lieve the voters will see the justice of our plea and give this part of the county the remaining member. l)R. A. S. STEEL. Dr. A. S.
