OU1? VIEWS
UPON THE PROPOSED LOCAL
BILL.
Unlike our prudecesors our mot
to is not “neutral in all things” but
we shall endeavor to disclose our
position upon all questions of pub
lic importa ncC. Mai may say ‘‘if
thats your position you need not
offer yourself for public office etc,”
but we are not a seeker for public
preferment,'and wiil speak out our
sentiments, and powers of
Heaven and Hell combi r.ed will
not deter us from expressing our
honest andunpredudiced conviction
THE ROAD LAW.
We are opposed to & direct tax
for road purposes as in the manner
proposed. Our worthy Represen
tatives propose to be guided by the
wishes of their constituents in this
matter and it is right that we
should weigh the matter carefully
then record our views by present
ingthem to our Legislators, Many
men, when a question is presented
to there minds at once form conclu
sions merely from abstract ideas,
andTrom the circumstances around
them,“or see the good things that
are likely to come and convince
themselves without rcconing the
cost of the final results to be ob
tained, Oh we are to have good
roads and are to be releived from
all' manaul labor upon them —
yes, we‘are for'ajax for road pur
poses. If you have "decided this
question of the proper means for
obtaining good public roads, from
what source of reasoning did yOu
arrive at such a conclusion, and
where.is your flgure'sheet! Com
mence at home by summing up the
results, the new lav; would bring
to'the 960th*Pist, and let us see
how we arc benefited. whom
is shift d’th*\burdsns? and who
aretha most aide to bear them?
In the 960th Dist. there are ninety
persons subject to road duty, and
say it requires ten .days to.' work
aud keep up our public roads, we
have the facts under the present
order of things—a total of 900 day
work for one man. The tax. digest
shows $156,000 worth of taxable
property in the 960th Dist. and to
leavy the highest tax under the
proposed new’ law (20 cents on the
hundred)We could raise s3l2,Cb
for road purposes,.which allowing
one dollar per day for labor, v/onld
give us 312 days work for one mg£
as against the 900 days work neces
sary to keep up oui roads—atid the
difference would show the class ot
roadsjwe would have. Such grand
results are obtained by adding ons
third more to your present State
tax, Our principal \yealth is in
vested in farming interests,
an industry' not, producing any
enormous profit, indeed the farmers
of this county are the most oppos
ed ot our citizens, and you fre
quently hear this remark, “I would
rather be the tenant than the fal
mer”. From thi3 source then,
would aiise the (principal part of
the taxes to be collected. V here
is the farmer who does not feel
that his taxes are already higher
than he can bear, and who is no',
strained to the last notch in pay
ing them? W here is the farm
paying <• profit of 5 per cent on the
eaoital invested. It ,is said “that
■ a.r iarmes are "not worked, our
farmers do not try,” in the name of
mill, of justice and for the bon
net cithene of Dade county we re
peal the charge. Our position
1 then is good roads cannot be ob
tain-d in the" manner proposed,
without financial ruin upon this
county. One year would not pro
duce it, but just as sure as fate '•he
future would tin fold to us the er
rorsof an oppressive legislative,
unthougbtly enacted, and carried
out to the everlasting rfiin to the in
e outs we sought to benefit. Unlike
m Iteyublican Senate we do not
condemn the evil without ottering
a r medy, but we would lay aside
t’-e iuiquotons law-- < t the, present
.mo c< n lenm the direct tax svs
•uu. aiiU : o.Ver a chain cing-systen;
and a ia c ; ufliciont only >o carry r

to pay. Wfc have only space thi.
week to offer our substitute, and
give views in opposition to the pro
posed law, but we “throw down the
gauntlent” and any man may pick
it up who feels able to defend it.
If we are wrong, God knows we are
ready to be convinced of the “error
of our w ay.”
COXTY COURT
ITS ADVANTAGES.
We are very much in favor of a
county court for Dade County up
on principles of economy and for
the advantages gained by a speedy
trial of misdemeanors and of cer
tain civil cases on which, the court
would jhave jurisdiction. Every
hour consumed by the Superior
Court in the trial of one cf these
minor offences costs the coumy a
considerable amount of money,
whereas the judge of the county
court would try all misdemeanors
witheuta jury unless one was speci
ally demanded, and in that case
only twelve men would be summon
ed, and at a very small expense to
the county. Fees of the judge in
all cases w, ould be paid by the liti
gants, and the amount to be paid
him by the county would be fix
ed by the grand jury, and depend
upon the amount of work he had
done for the county, Offenders in
misdemeanor cases could be tried
at once, and wou Id not be kept in
the county jail from one court to
another at a heavy expense to the
county, A county court is what
this county needs,
