Up to the present time there
comes not a word from anyone in
support of Hon. J. J. Kitnsey’s
proposed bill to levy a direct tax
upon the people ofWhite county to
procure money to build roads in
White county as proposed by that
gentleman in bis notice of such now
running in ourcolums, therefore we
consider we have a right to con¬
clude that nobody favors the pass¬
age of this bill. Not a word has
come to our ears, nor appeared be¬
fore our eyes, to dispute or to take
issue with what we said in this
column in our issue for last week in
denouncing the passage of the bill,
except what was said from the
mouth of one man who inferred that
if we used the roads as much ns he
*
did we would want that bill to pass.
This gentleman has mistaken the
principles which underlie the
actions of the editor of this news¬
paper. For instance, we might have
answered that had he used the roads
as little as w$ do he would have
been against the bonds at all times
but we did not. do that,we knew too
well the just principles which
should prompt the actions of all
men, and do prompt the actions of
all just men, and we cared not to
intrude upon his right to think as
he pleased since his thinking could
only be detrimental to himself, and
whatever we might say would not
convince him.
Can it be that those who fostered
this bill have nothing to say to the
public in its behalf? Do they refuse
to render an explanation why such
legislation has been proposed that
would be an imposition upon the
public? Surely they have some rea¬
son for it, and if they have the
people are entitled to know what
that reason is? If not, then why
was not the advertisement made to
read that “the bill would NOT be
introduced unless he was convinced
that the people DID want a direct
tax,” instead of that “the bill
WOULD be introduced unless he
was convinced that the people did
NOT want a direct tax?”
The people of White county
would like to know what it would
take to convince their representive
that they did not want a direct
tax, and if it can be done by peti¬
tions they would likely respond in
this manner, for as needless us it
may seem to be, with a list of
names that would far exceed two
thirds of the tax payers and voters
of White county.
Since they have been left in the
dark as to what is required to con¬
vince, then it might he well to cir¬
culate petitions in each district as¬
king that this bill be not intro¬
duced. There comes a time when
people must take their own part,
and to our mind it now • appears
that the time is ripe for such
action.
What the people of White coun¬
ty want is to be left alone to their
■own selection of what they want
for the improvement of the happi¬
ness of their homes, and to their
own choice of public improvement,
and that is no more nor less than
they are justly entitled to, and in
doing what we are now doing to
prevent the passage of a bill grant¬
ing the power to tax the people
direct, we are doing in tiie inter¬
est of this principle.
Our purposes are not so selfish
that we would cast a ballot for
anything we believed to be a meas¬
ure which would prove detrimen¬
tal to the best interest of the peo¬
ple, or to humanity. What would
a life be worth to a man if his pur¬
pose was not to be beneficial to his
fellowman in greater measure than
his fellowman had been beneficial
to him? Better, as is stated in
Scripture, “that a millstone he
placed about our neck and cast to
18 the bottom of the sea.”
