Reply to "Firmer" Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to reply to the "Farmer" in Kbb who it 10 opposed to bonding tbe county for good roads. I also note t! at he is opposed to my "bor ing with 1 big auger." I Judge al- so that he Is opposed to all other progressive movements, I don't know who this "Farmer" is as ae wi ttil olds bis name and nt the same time handles my name rather freely. However, that is alright. Somehow I like to see my nam a in print and menu to attncli it to the end of this. From that article one would judge hit "J-'a'uiet" to be uu educated ican. Hut notice in my article whai I ant going to do with his figures. In other language be says we have been paying a J. mill tux f'r 54 years to pay a bonded indebtedness of t"5, Ouo for building a rail'oad and liuve only paid 170,000. Our county is sssesntd at 12, 676,275. Multiply this by 4 mills and jou get $10,705 nnually. Multiply tins by 54 eurs and you cet J ji 8,uu, or in otner words move than one seventh of the entire bond ii-ueeach year. At that rale the bonds would Lave been puid, interest and all, in less than twelve years. Now be tays the bond advo cates huve I ecu trying to deceive the people making them believe that their taxes would be very small. What alxul his figures? I believe he has deceived himself for I get it Senator FOR does Things rn: from the court house that this bond levy ranged all the way at dif ferent times from one-fourth to two jiills. 80 yo'i 8'C it lias not been such a burden after all lo the farmer. This " Farmer" does not see but one side, though he says there are two. He has shown you these bur dens, lie sees the aide that costs ouly. Now, let's lo"k on the other s'tle. What has the railroad been doing these 54 years? ?st. It pays annually i the coun tv taxes amounting to $5,71G. The interest on the bonds at first wus $4500, so the railroitd Itself has paid Miftkieut "tuxen to tiny the interest and retire M210 worth of bonds each year, Jt ' as been doing this for 51 years. Listen, Mr, "Fanner:" The Kiilro.cl has jiibt about paid oil these bonds with her own taxes and it will continue fur all time lo pay in live or six thousand dollars annually. That is the best investment the conn ty has ever maile, 2nd. It has hauled off the produce of the county that would bave been hauled iu wagons to St, Marks or to Jacksonville, 3rd. It lias enhanced tbe value of proerty at least Dity per cent. You do not hear of any land now at f 1 ,25 per acre as you did then. 4tb. It ba doubled the popula tion of tbe county. You would not be burdened with the writer if you bad no railroads. It bas brought in other taxpayers to lighten the bur dens. To bond the county for good roads will beat this. We could let the work out by contract, requiring each contractor to give bond. We could build the roads at once before we pay any tax on it at all We could make our money back out of men who build the roads long, be fore we pay the taxes.
