Alexandria. Va. Jan. IA comprehen-
sive good roads movement Is taking def
mite form in Alexandria County, and an
impetus is being given 10 plans, proposed
several months ago. for issuing bonds for
the purpose Of putting all the public
highways Of the county in excellent con-
dition This policy Is being warmly urged
by many influential citizens Of the
county who contend that its future pros
perity is largely dependent upon that ac-
ton.
In support Of the plan John b. Hender-
son, jr., the recent Republican nominee
for the House Of Representatives from this
district, has made public "a long letter in
which he discusses reasons for and
against the proposition, reaching the con-
clusiou that il is feasible and based on
sound business principles. Mr.. Henderson
states that the eighty OF ninety miles Of
roadway IN the county could be put i'm
splendid shape at an expenditure Of from
$40 900 40 $4,000. The lower estimate is
reached by taking into account the many
miles OF macadamized roadway which
might need TO Improvement, and also the
fact than very little grading would have
90 be done
He directs attention 10 the fact that the
interest on the smaller sum for one year
IT per cent Is considerably less than
the amount set aside IN 1905 for road pur-
poses-S15. 3l4 Mr.. Henderson adds that
the road fund for last year. by reason Of
increase of assessments on realty; Will
probably reach $1,000 and says that this
sum could. without hardship to the tax
payers. be brought up 10 500 paying
interest and setting aside yearly sink
ing fund of $500.

guard the expenditure Of the funds. be

ers 10 pass on all contracts; that the
widest publicity be provided for all trans
actions. and that before beginning opera
tions an apportonment Of funds be made

full views because OF the sharp decline in
prices experienced yesterday and to-day.
Perhaps We are willing to accept the bull
fish views which we have of late INDUCED
in, but we believe that securities are a
purchase on their merits. although we
admit that the action of the different
State authorities and the attacks upon
corporate organization and management
had hard questions to cope with. The
administration has set on foot a wave Of
sO-called reform, which has become most
unbearably inqustorial, and it disturbs
the holder OF securities and causes him
keen anxiety Il IS difficult 10 see what
good can be accomplished by these at
lacks upon corporate management and IL
makes ii a very difficult matter To form
wise or intelligent judgment Of the fu-
ture course of prices Upon common
sense principles Northwestern common.
Union Pacific, Great Northern, and that
group Of stocks. after their very violent
! decline, should be a purchase. We argued
/ that they were selling much too high in
| October and November, and that We eX-
pected them TO decline The decline has
come and has even exceeded what we
had anticipated. 1t does not, therefore,
z
tic attitude, but rather to look for re-
action and Il recovery. This would seem
a sensible position 10 take. and one justi-
| fed by the prosperous condition OF the
country and the growing wealth of the
corporations themselves
Canadian Pacific is said to be one Of the
stocks in which there has been liquidation
| by a London house that has figured
| largely in recent rumors When the stock
! rallied the fact was pointed 10 as an indi-
cation that the liquidation had ceased and
/ that all danger of trouble had been
/ aveTted.
| The Atchison statement for December
was somewhat disappointing in showing a
/ very small increase in net, notwithstand-
4 ing that the gross earnings gained to the
/ extent of nearly S,OO,00O. as compared
/ with the corresponding month a year
| ago. The most plausible explanation Of
/ the disappointing showing Of net is that
pending it's new financing the road is
/ drawing heavily on its earnings TO meet
/ the cost Of Improvements under way and
/ charging the amounts so used TO Operat-
! ing expenses. There is. OF course. the
! further consideration that the business
/ being up 10 a point where new facilities
/ must be provided. the operation OF the
| road can hardly be as efficient as il would
/ be under ordinary circumstances. The
/ raising Of new capital viii restore the
! proper relations between gross and net.
