Good Roads legislation.

.
The Republican party under the
wise leadership of Governor w. N. o.
Dawson achieved the great feat Of q
revision of the tax system and bring
ing the same up-to-date. It took
courage to do it, but the party Draw
ed the storm and came out unharn-
Now, that that has been success
fully accomplished in the interest Of
the people and to the credit Of the
State, it is in keeping with the pro-
gressive spirit Of this great political
party to take up and pass a measure
of equal importance to the tax ques-
ton. There is doubtless no one
question now tina; concerns the well
fare of West Virginia SO much as
that of good roads. The National
Good Roads Association started an
interest in this great question few
months ago. II held meetings in
various counties in The State and at
the time considerable interest and en-
thusiasm were manifest. Most every
where these meetings were held
local organizations were formed for
the purpose of pushing good roads
movement. Since then in a few
places the matter has begun actual
demonstration with prospects OF
eminent success. In other places
the organizations are inactive bu,
may be waiting for the Legislature to
meet.
Just what the legislature viii be
able to do in the natter of legisla-
ton in this respect remains largely
to be figured out But it is vital
question in this State, one of great
concern, and certainly the legislature
can devise ways and means TO bring
about It's successful naturalization.
Other States have accomplished 1t
lust as they achieved 10 wand equal
taxation. Our STATE is different in
topography from most all the other
States, but that certainly can not
deter movement 10 improve the
road system, just as was done with
the tax system. indeed, we must
