It Is claimed that this is ample to pay all the expenses of the town and pay something on the town debt besides.

is made, that the question may be laid
before Congress fortified by the petitions
before the middle of February. The
proposition has had very general ap-
proval by Chambers of Commerce, Gov
ernors of States, trade associations, labor
organizations, farmer societies and many
other public bodies.

sPIKING FENCE-Posr LEEDS, TIES.

Mr.. Fulton, of the Nevada, California
and Oregon Railroad line, in his testi-
mony before the Senate Committee drove
spikes into Mr.. Leeds fence-post tie idea.
lie quietly called attention to the fact
that despite the owlish statement of the
sage of the Traffic Association, ties do rot
in California; that when rotted they are
useless for fence posts. and that on mar
row-gauge lines they are, even if ever so
sound, too short for fence posts.
Furthermore, Mr.. Fulton pointed out
that Mr.. Leeds ideas, if put into the law,
viii not only kill off the road Mr.. Fulton
represents, but viii confscate the money
now invested in it, and label California
with sign all men will read: Capital
and enterprise not wanted here"
He punctured Mr.. Leeds statement
that he was unable to procure data rela-
tive to California short roads in order TO
ascertain what would be Just rates for
them. As a matter of fact, all such

sion in san Francisco, and is annually

Messrs. Wade, Freeman and Perris of
the California Southern Railway also
stripped the mask from Mr.. Leeds
special pleading and laid bare his posi-
lively false statements and deductions re-
garding railroading in California. They
showed and challenged contradiction;
l. That taxes are higher here than in the
East. 2. That railroading expenses are
greatly heavier. 8. That every dollar
spent here for coal, iron and most other
railroad supplies, goes out of the State
and remains out, whereas at the East, of

districts, demanded prompt and effective
efforts to improve the conditions of coun-
try highways.
We do not understand that the appeal
to Congress asks for anything more than
a department to encourage road-bulding
by promoting knowledge of the art of
most economically constructing and
maintaining roads. Such a department
could be largely instrumental in
developing road engineers, and in pro-
noting study by men for the purpose
of filing such positions. 1t could
avail of the great amount Of information
obtained by the State Department, rela-
tive to experience in other lands in road
building and maintenance.
To this extent, and in promoting road
exhibitions, and perhaps permanent ex-
hibition at Washington of road materials,
road machinery, ETC., we approve of the
effort to have Congress establish such a
department. For there is no other sub

character, of more high and immediate
value to all people as that of good road
agitation. We have frequently and freely
enlarged upon the subject. and believe
that it has been now thoroughly exploited
by the press of the country. The people
are therefore fully informed concerning
the aim of the agitation and the good it is
hoped TO accomplish. 1t remains to be
seen what the result will be.
