Now it does not seem to be doing justice to the farmer or any other person that he { should be compelled to leave his own business and serve the public without pay, with duties more difficulty to per. form than were those of supervision in the past when they paid for their services. It is contrary to the adage that, “The laborer is worthy of his hire.” And with reference to that portion of the bill which takes from the tax pay- ers the privilege of working out their taxes and compels them to pay the money, it will be a hardship to many farmers of limited means, who are al. ready so burdened with money taxes that it is all they can do to stay on the farm and live. And this law takes from them the only chance they had to work out any pertion of their numerous taxes and save paying in money, But some ore, who does not own any farm property. and perbaps never paid a dollar of ross tax, says it is just as easy for the taxpayer to pay the money as to work it out, but the man who has not the money to pay with, and does not know where it is to come from. would much 1ather work and help make the roads than have to go and find employment to earn the money to pay his road tax.
