r..n,l to the Black 1 1 ill-- country to the
north. This city is not alone in this
desire. The demand for a through
north and south road is felt all through
this part of the country. A transcon
tinental route has been cstabli.-hed.
It has got as far as Morrill county,
and has stopped, becnusc three corn-

delaying the game.
The situation is fufher muddled be
cause of the fact that there is a row
.. ; i. mrin(inental road circles.
The G-l'-C highway has approved a
Toute going through.Nebraska by way
of Oshkosh, Lisco, Broadwater, Alli
ance and Chadron. A rival route, the
North Star highway, goes through
Nebraska via Chappell, Lodgepole,
Sidney, Bridgeport, Angora, Alliance
und Chadron. Both routes are good,
and probably both should and will be
constructed in time. Both go through
Morrill county. Both are at a stand
still until the Morrill county commis
sioners make up their minds to ap
prove a road.
'And thereby is the ruu. The Broad
water advocates and the Bridgeport
vHvocates. each realize that if Alliance
her support to .either
route, it would tend to bring consid
erable Dressure to bear on the divided
commissioners. Alliance is friendly to
both towns it really wants both
routes. It has decided to remain neu
tral. In fact, so neutral is this city
that one man has accepted a position
n the official staff of both roads
w(r,ik. thpre are men in Alii-
ance who. if but one road could be ap-
unuj u-nuld have a choice. Some of
- -
the
these men favor the Broadwater road
Probably even more of them favor the
Bridgeport route. But the road boost
ra of the city, in a meeting, decided
neutrality. It is not
for Alliance, the citizens of this city
say, to dictate to the Morrill county
commissioners.
Unfortunately, one or two pvrtNans
for one route or the other, cannot un
derstand what (t means to be neutral
Thev have, in public meetings, men
tioned the fact that individually, they
,i4fer a certain route. In the face of
Alliance's stand of neutrality, their in
dividual utterances are given more
weight than should be attached to
them. There was, at la:;t Ftiday's
od mpptinir. an indication that the
sincerity of Alliance was in question
Some of the visitors undoubtedly be
lieved that Alliance was preparing to
double-cross one highway or another
The Herald would like to reiterate
the portion that this city's road boost
ers took. They have said, among
themselves, that the problem of select
ing the route through Morrill county

ers have intimated that they arc will-

neighboring county, as wll as build r
load to meet any that is built to the
county line. The towns on the rival
routes i'ie urged to believe in the sin
cerity of the Alliance road boosteis.
Each of us may have a preference, but
neutrality, with nine out of ten of Us,
means exactly what it says.
The position of llemingford, as an
nounced in a recent issue ol that
town's newspaper, brings welcome re
lief. That city is unqualifiedly for tin
Bridgeport-Angora route, and does not
hesitate to say that it thinks Alliance
has assumed the wrong attitude. llem
ingford boosters declare they ui not
after a road for their town, but like
Alliance, want an outlet to the south
and are willing to irive up their own
desires in order to get a county seat
route through. They urge that Alli
ance drop the neutrality stand, and g
out for their road tist. However, all
rival towns are notified that if Alli
ance decides to change front, due not
ice will be given the world. This city
has too much at stake to try the dou

like this are bound to occur unle
public takes the proper interest.
The Herald this week is publishing
a portion or the conimisioners pio
ceedings. The record for the tin-day
session disclose an enormous amount
of money spent. Those who have not
lvi,l ihtt interest to look into the m.'lt-
s ler will be surprised to go over the
figures for this one session. They will
reveal the fact that it costs consider
able money to conduct the county's
affairs, and that the commissioners
are paid an exceedingly small um to
lo the work. There is a huge amount
of detail and hard work connected
with the position of county commis
sioner, and when the average man gets
in idea of how arduous the task is, he
will find that he has fewer compaints
to make against the men who do it,
ami receive little more than cigar
money for the thankless task.
Another thing The Herald wishes to j
draw to the attention of its readers.
Elsewhere in this issue is published
the tax levies for the county, state, the
city of Alliance, the village of llem
ingford and the various school dis
tricts Every citizen should know
where his tax money is being spent.
A study of these figures will show
what proportion of every tax dollar is
to be spent in paying general expen
ses, for roads, for bridges, for a sink
ing fund to pay past indebtedness, for
paying for paving, schools and other
luxuries and necessaries. The levy for
the city of Alliance is especially inter
esting to the man who reads under
standingy. Too many of us read on
he run. It will be seen that out of a
total of 12.85 mills, 6.25 mills, or al
most half, will go to pay for past in-
hbtedness for sewer and sewer ex
tension bonds, for city hall and city
park, for drainage and paving. The
man who thinks will understand, then,
that City Manager Kemmish has his
may tc given every chance to reha
bilitate himself as a reputable mem
ber of society, plans for his release
will include ;i suitable job, and he will
jbe assured the co-operation of his fel
low citiens.
Such a parole hould make undesir
able paroles practically impossible
and at the same tiir.e make it fairly
sure that the prisoner who truly de
sires to live aright out among free
men, will he g-:ven his chance. There
has been so much : buse of the parole
and pardon in recent years that such
a reform should be welcome everywhere.
