condition OF our highways at the pres
er,t time Is not such, nor the advantages
to be derived from more perfect high
ways great enough to warrant the crea-
ton of a State debt. We are practically
without debt at the present time and It
should be our fixed policy to so continue
In 1892 the state first began to assume
positive responsibility with reference to
highways by the eGSactment OF law
providing for cents State highway
tax. paid into the State treasury and re-
distributed to the towns on the basis OF
their highway mileage. While in some
towns this money was expended accord
Ing to the spirit of the law. II resulted
in but little permanent work for want
of proper supervision. In many towns it
was not IN reality spent for permanent
work but used for ordinary repairs. The
Legislature recognized this fact. IN 1928
provided for the appointment Of State
highway commissioner and the creation
OF State highway departmant which
should supervise as far as possible. the
expenditure OF this State highway fund.
This was n decided step n the right d.
rection af1 there has been a marked

obtained. There are many sections of en-
collent, well constructed. permanent road.
Each year Is showing an increase in
amount and ar, Improvement IN quality.
Soil. accessibility Of good road material,
and other natural conditions enter large
ly into the results obtained: but the
greatest factor is the method in which
the money IL expended. Towns that have
been fortunate and careful in the Sc
lection OF road commissioner, and
when securing a good one have retained
him. have invariably had splendid re-
suits from the operation of the law. The
county meetings have been very educa l.
tlonal and have created a genuine in
terest which has resulted in much more
efficient work.
Notwithstanding the improvement that
has been made in the method of eXpend-
ing the State highway fund and In the
results obtained during the past few
years, some towns are to-day gaining
nothing from the expenditure of this
money in the way Of permanent road and
others but little. The larger towns and
cities which are making large contr-
button to this fund certainly have a
right to demand that 1t should be eN-
pended ia such a manner as to yield the
best possible results. The State has not
fulfilled its duty until 1t has provided

special legislation. Acts granting special
charters or amending existing charters OF
public or private corporations occupy 292
pages OF the printed laws OF the Session
of 1901 while the entire public acts of
that session only occupy Al pages Such
legislation arises somewhat from the ten
dency to seek special privileges but it is
due more to the fact that our general
laws with respect to the organization Of
corporations, both public and private, are
not sufficient and complete.
We have now general law (V. s.
Chapter 1863 for the incorporation of pri-

constant application to the Legislature
for special charters for private corpora

some well considered general law. Spe-

DOUBLE TAXATION.

Double taxation is an evil which so far
as possible should be corrected. This
problem has been studied and discussed
for years and different solutions suggest

suggested has seemed to lead into diffi-
