The Movement in New York.

lne movement IN new York.
Governor Roosevelt received at the
Executive Chamber over q hundred
delegates from various parts of the
State, who were in Albany to attend
the Convention of Repreeent :sectlnr
County Boora- Une ad'5lst1catlves OF
Lnartts Of Supervisors to dis
cuss highway improvement under the
proposed operation of the laws enacted
for good roads. The party was mar
shalled into the Governors presence
by State Engineer Bond, who intro
duced Mr.. Joseph L. Lee, Of West
chester. Speaking for his colleagues,
Mr.. Lee said they wanted an appro-
priation of 81 200, 900 for good roads,
and if the Legislature refused to make
such an appropriation, he believed the
party deserved to be driven from
power. He believed that the Gov
ernor would espouse their cause, as
he always had the cause of everything
just and right.
The Governor, in reply, said he was
glad to meet so many earnest cham
pions of the good roads movement.
He thought it unnecessary to assure
them of his hearty sympathy with
their cause. This State must have
good roads and we must improve our
methods of communication, especially
in the rural districts. The Governor
said that he thought that, as a rule,
the members of the Legislature would
respect the wishes of those whom they
represented when the people got those
wishes properly formulated. He, there
fore, urged them to organize and make
the strength and sincerity Of their
purposes apparent. When this is
done, the Governor said, the difficulty
of getting appropriations would end.
The Governor said he thought the
delegates were getting the movement
in good shape by such meetings as the
one they were now holding here, and
he hoped the convention would bear
fruit in practical results.
The Good Roads Convention adopt
ed resolution that it was the sense
of the convention that there should be
no amendment of the Higbie-Arm
strong bill this year. The delegate s
decided to ask the Legislature for an
appropriation of 100000 which il
considered the amount necessary to be
paid by the State for proper inaug
uration of the work. proposition ii
favor of the employment of convicts
on the roads was approved.

B GOOD ROADS NOTES.


Will Not increase Taxation.
IN her travels and missionary work
TO promote the sentiment for good
roads in Illinois, Miss Harber
claims to have been very success
full in enlisting the cooperation of
commercial bodies in different towns.
Among farmers, however, she had
some difficulty in explaining that the
association she represented was
working not for hard roads but for
good roads. The average farmer, she
found, easily became frightened a. the
proposal for hard roads, for that makes
them think of macadam, which would
mean increased taxation. In recent
address Miss Harder said: "Our sole
aim at present is to make good soft
roads, which in years to come will
furnish foundations for good hard
roads. AS an association we regard
our work as experimental and educa-
tional. We aim to have at each of our
conventions manufacturers and ma
chimes for constructing sample pieces
of road, that farmers may see in
practical demonstration how a road
should be built to be of value to the
community. The object lessons show
how road should be built SO that
water will draiu off; how culverts
should be constructed and arranged
in order properly to fulfill their mist
sion, and how really inexpensive it is
to make good roads when the work is
done intelligently and systematically.
1--WE do not intend to increase taxa.
ton one penny, for we know that thei
100000 annually expended by Illi.'
nois is sufficient to build good roads
throughout the State. But We do ask
that the farmers will let the State do
the work, according to an approved
tax by pretending to build good roads.
Not that they do not mean to do their
best SO far as they know or have the
ability, but they have not the facili.
ties and cannot do the work as it should
be done. We know that under the
proper system good rural road can
be made for less money than it now
costs. We want, if possible, to see
the poll tax reduced to 81, but want
the farmers to pay that dollar into the
State treasury, instead of working it
out, as is now tho case, and we expect
to convince him that it will be to his
advantage to do it,
The State and Interstate Good Roads
Association. represented by Miss Har-
Der, embraces twenty-five OF more
States, and is the outgrowth of State
convention held in Missouri in 1897,
at which 700 delegates were present.
Miss Harder and six men were ap-
pointed committee to travel over the
country and organize county associa-
tons. At the end of one year, when
the first interstate convention, at
tended by $500 delegates, was held in
st. Louis, seventy-two counties had
been organized, aud as Miss Harder
had organized sixty-six of the total
she was unanimously chosen general
secretary and organizer.

addition to this they have planted other

Speaking of the prospects Of the COM

reporter that he had confidence in tho sue
cess of the venture. Our prospects are
excellent and l believe that the first
years crops will net US good returns. We
were prepared for the cold snap which
visited the State few days ago. ana in
consequence we were not damaged to the
slightest extent. We have competent
gardeners employed on the farm. and
every plant is given the closest attention.
we expect TO make full returns OH every

''Tha. will be satisfactory" was tho

not be raised in Texas as well as else
where. The land which we have in to-
bacco is of the proper soil; 1t has every
qualification that is possessed by lands
