TO provide for an increase In the capital
stock of the organization: TO enable the
management to widen the field of its oper-
ations, so as to include the entire country.
Hitherto this association has confined its
mem bership to the territory west of the
Allegheny Mountains, although its news
has embraced the inform alton of the entire
globe, and it has had working alliances
with all of the leading news-gathering
organizations of the world.
The attendance was larger than at any
previous meeting of press association
ever held in this country. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of those assembled
that the time was ripe for great national
associated press organization such as has
never existed in this country. and which
should extend from the A lantic to the Pa
cific, embracing In its membership all OF
the leading daily newspapers, while pre-
serving the autonomy Of the various Sec
tionai associations for local purposes.
William Penn Nixon, president OF the
Associated Press, occupied the chair VIC
tor F. Lawson. chairman of the executive
committee, offered the following resOlu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the board OF directors be iu-
structed to take The necessary steps to increase
the capital stock of the Associated Press 10
100000 TO the end of nationalizing the pro-
prietorship of the association by Ihe admission
OF leading newspapers in all sections of the
country TO stockholding In the associa-
tlon in individual amounts not exceeding the
holdings of the present stockholders, provided
this shall not impair the existing rights OF
members.
The general manager presented finan-
cial statement showing the association to be
free from Indebtedness and to have sur
plus of over $4,000.
Owing to the establishment Of exclusive
relations with the great European news
gathering agencies of Reuter-, Havas q
Wolff and the added expense involved in
the extension of the service, it was sug-
gested that guaranty fund of an ade-
quate amount be provided against any
emergency that might arise. The idea
was taken up promptly and volunteer sub
scriptions to such fund were offered TO
the total amount Of $4,000.

diction. We need a system, and can
have it, that will cut down road taxes
from twenty cents to an average in twenty
years distribution of not more than five
cents, but which will give US in return
800 per cent. better results, under methods
that will secure proper substructure.
proper widths and grades, proper top
dressing, scientific drainage and the
most approved methods generally.
We submit this proposition to any fair
mind. If in ten years we expend $780,
900 upon our roads, with poor results,
and taxation for road purposes leaping
up to twenty cents on the 800, what
could we do with 100000 in hand sys-
tematically applied at once. 1t would
build, at $1,000 mile, four fifteen-mile
stretches of lasting trunk roads, at a rate
of interest to discharge the debt and its
interest in twenty years, for a tax rate
on all assessable property, about $780,
10000 values, less than half the ordinary
road tax, and likewise provide for main
tenance, it being all the time kept in
view that the $50, 1000, 600 values would ad-
vance under good road systems in twenty
years to 500, OOO,O 900 values.
