 The House of Commons adjourned at 11:12 p. m.
 The first days proceeding in Parlia- ment left rather a decided impression in the Hobbies that the Government will manage to hold out till the end of the session. The Governments executive program. which Is devoted in the main to social reforms were fairly popular, whilst the avoidance of difficult ques- tions like that of the redistribution of seats and Premier Balfour's firmness in casting aside the finance problem, all will tend in the same direction.
 On the other hand. the Liberals ap- pear to be as distinct as ever from any approach to unanimity on the ve2ed question of the leadership. Henry Campbell Zimmerman, Earl Spencer. Herbert Henry Asquith and Sir Henry Hartley Fr wler are all spoken of as possible leaders of the next Liberal Ministry, to say nothing of Lord Rose berry's even superior claim to that po- sition, should he be inclined to exert his undoubted influence.

TENNESSEE'S ROAD TAX.
How 1t Affects the Cost Of Building
Public Hfghways.

How 1t Affects the Cost Of Building
Public Highways.
Colonel ]. B. KilIebrew gives some
figures In the Nashville American on
the cost Of public highways that are
full of interest He shows that the
road tax for the several counties Of the
state ranges from 3 to 16 cents per
500 Of assessed value, or, to specify
accurately, two counties have a five
cent rate, four counties; an eight cent
rate, sixty-two counties a ten cent rate,
nineteen counties a twelve cent rate,
two counties fourteen cent rate, two
counties fifteen cent rate and i've
counties a sixteen cent rate The grand
total of tax for these Mnety-six coun-
ties is 1864, 1922.
The number of men subject to road
tax is 217,511, who are employed from
five to eight days each year. The total
amount expended for labor on high
ways is 1881 ,O49. 82-labOr being COM
muted at 75 cents per diem. The total
amount expended in money and labor
is $1,295,S13.14.
From these figures Coltmel Killebrew
estimates that sufficient money u ex-
pended each year to pay the interest at
4 per cent on bonds to raise enough
money to build from four to SIX mac
adam roads for each county seat to the
outer boundaries Of the county and
have enough left to create a sinking
fund to retire the bonds In thirty years.
He recommends general state law
to permit counties to Issue bonds for
highway building without special leg
islative enactment.

GOOD ROADS AND SCHOOLS.

Value Of the Former ms an Ala to
Education.
In line with the suggestion recently
advanced by George II. Maxwell, d.
rector of the National Irrigation asso-
citation, for a union Of effort among
the leaders of the good roads, irriga-
ton, educational forestry and similar
movements comes an argument put
forth by the United States bureau of
education illustrating the interdepend-
ence of these causes, says the Good
Roads Magazine.
1t is stated that lone of the most
important problems for our rural CON-
munities has been how best to secure
the benefits Of graded school sys-
tenn so as to enable the farmer to give
his children instruction in the higher
branches Of learning without leaving
the farm" and reports are given
showing that the experiment of trans
porting pupils at public expense to q
central school has been tried in twenty
two of the states. The advantages at.
tanned by this plan are shown to be
many and important.
The successful operation Of the sys-
tenn depends, however, on a system Of
good roads as nisi primus.
One Of the first points regarded by
a farmer in selecting home is his
proximity to the schoolhouse, but,
though it may not be very distant
"as the crow fies," If the roads are i'm
passable for large part Of the school
year his children do not profit by the
advantage.
Bad roads are limitations on a farm
er's liberty - bars to his prison -
shutting him and his family away
from schools, churches and neighbors.
as well as from markets. How long
will intelligent and liberty loving men
tolerate such restrictions, and how
long will educators hold aloof from
the support of a movement which ID
of primary Importance to the success
Of their efforts?
