The People’s Voice i BLOCKING PROGRESS When fifty citizens, moat of them from north Wabash .township,' and it few others interested, and the Indiana State Tux Board, defeated the bond issue for the construction of the Warren M. Striker concrete road in the above named township, they took, not the first step, but perhaps the greatest step toward blocking pro gressive road construction that has ever been taken in our good county. If there would be no ill effects derived except preventing the construction of this one road, it would be bad enough, but perhaps this is but the beginning of a road construction war which will be waged in that township between the north and the south half, he results of which would prove very disastrous and delay the road buildmg program in that township indefinitely. Indeed the citizens who had worked so hard to secure this improvenent, which is needed much more than he concrete road already built in the township, are very much put out over he action of the few who were responsible for its defeat at the hands of he tax board. Wabash township is financially able o construct this road and the great•st number of petitioners ever sing ng a like petition in this county, peitioned for it, over two hundred and iffy in all. Yet the law is so fixed hat a mere handful, guided by the ight forces can block such improve aents, and in this particular instance ,s fine a display of greediness and olfishness as has ever been shown in his county was manifested. One year ago the community west f Berne was allowed to construct a ike road of practically the same ength, and not a word was said >ut the very same citizenry who were Bowed to build the first road was Imost unanimously against the contraction of the Striker road, simply ecause it is their desire to have the oad building program extended in le north half of the township, while hey are content to see the south hall o unimproved. About seventy-five ?.r cent of those few who signed the ■monstrance against the Striker road ore those who were directly or inirectly benefitted by the M, R, E, emetery road which was built lasi ear. A fine display of gratitude, as t were. And on top of it all in norial times there are two vehicles tra el the course of the Striker road for very one which travels the route of he road which is already bui.t Last winter and spring, during the hawing season the Striker road was lear impassable and about one more ad season, or an open winter and auomobiles will be unable to get hrough at all, while at the present ime, when the roads are to >e the best of any time during the .ear, this road is positively the vorst mile and a half of- main traveled oad in Adams county. It seems that t is almost a crime to let it go in its iresent condition, unimproved, and it vould seem to me a greater mistake o spread on a few thousand dollars xorth of stone to soon to be ground nit ready for the next petition in a ery short period, for stone roads are Jiort lived unless they are well cared ’or, and one only has to travel a short distance on some of the stone oads in the south half of this county o be convinced that it does not pay. f there is an endless supply of money :o be drawn from to keep macadam •oads in good repair, then possibly .tone roads would be the better. The writer happens to know that Hartford-township built two or three miles of stone road in the last couple years and the heavy trucks which hauled the stone actually cut up and ■endered about four miles of good ma adam road in a more worthless condi ion in some places than the two or hree miles were which they were im : proving,, and today, while Hartford township continues to build stone roads, she has some now, which were built only two or three years ago, into which the tracks are cut so deep from tsage without repair, that the axle of an ordinary automobile wiil actually drag the ground between, and when roads are so neglected, it would be , better not to have built them at all. And yet the “wise" say “build cheap with stone and save money.” Just where the money is saved has never been explained and I dare say, will never be as long as such striking tesof this kind of foolish road joiistruction without maintenance are ,o numerous throughout these pftets If those who remonstrated against the Striker road did it merely 1 as a matter of economy as they saw it, then it is high time that they reconsider the proposition. If it waa done, merely because they wanted to prohibit the road building program/n the i south half of the township, in 'order that the same could be extended in

the north half, then they must rcmemer that it is u poor rule that will not work either way, and that, while those about Herne have scored Hie first victory, by getting the first road, anil have also succeeded in preventing those about Geneva from building theirs, they must also reiuemlier that the worm will eventually turn, and while it is turning, other townships will forge ahead with their road build ing program, while old Wabash will continue to tight it out to a finish. It is worth considering anyway. "PEEVED” VALUATION IN KOBKIUSKO COUNTY THIS YEAR MUCH LOWER THAN IN 1919 : Warsaw, Aug. 10—A slash of nearly $5,000,000 was made this year in the assessed valuation of lands and improvements in Koskiusko county as compared with 1919, according to the abstract of the assessments submitted to the state tax board. Noble county is the only county in northern central Indiana with a lower assessment than Koskiusko county The total average assessment for the county In 1919 without improve ments was $95.53 per acre and with improvements was $115.47. In 1922 the total average assessment for the county is $72.33 without improvemen tand $84.03 with improvements. SAGE TEA DANDY TO DARKEN HAIR Look Years Younger!
