GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

OVERNOR CROTHERS, of Maryland has
issued proclamation for the Good Roads
Conference to be held in Baltimore from MAY 18
to May Fl. The convention will be attended bv
engineers and Others interested in improved
highways from all parts of the, country Del
aware will be represented as it should be- for
our officials should get all the information pos
sible about the building of roads. To this CON
vention the mayors of cities and towns, the
county boards, commercial bodies, farmers
clubs and other organizations requested to
send delegates for the movement will be con-
sdered in its national aspects.
The mayor of Baltimore and the trade and
commercial bodies of that city have joined in
the Invitation for the convention TO be held
there, are making preparations to enter
tain the guests. A royal time is promised them
= The convention will be of particular interest
to Maryland for that state has decided to spend
FIVE millions in improving her highways The
Maryland Commission has investigated the roads
of other states and has lately visited Massachu-
setts The commissioners have concluded that
a road of crushed stone is the best for general
use and the result of the Massachusetts, investi-
cation will be laid before the conference
1Nie truth seems to be that road builders are
much in the air as to what is the best material
for road construction purposes. 1t is one thing
to decide that we shall build a new road and
another thing to build a road of permanent value
The road builders of New Jersey have confessed
that they puzzled by the problem and they
will probably make more experiments before
they plunge ahead into further expensive road
work. The national government is also expert
menting. The other day a test was made of
the effect of automobiles on dirt and fnacadan-
lied roads, On this point the officials have con-
cluded that on good dirt road the heavy farm
wagon does more harm than motor car.
These tests were part of a series being con-
Quoted by the Department of Agriculture, and
they involve the careful timing of machines sent
over a guarded road at a speed of a mile min
ute the result on the road itself being recorded
by cameras and instantaneous picture machines
Similar tests also were made on an oiled road,
the object being to determine how far the use
Of asphalt or OF crude petroleum or some other
lubricant by laying the dust puts an end to the
most destructive effect Of automobiles on
macadam roads
SO far as the results have been figured out they
tend to show that the better grade of macadam-
lied roads and highways which have been
treated in a similar manner will be cut to pieces
by fast moving motor cars in a comparatively
short time if left dry, while the surface will be
preserved almost indefinitely If a good system Of
oiling is used and kept in operation.
The entire problem of road building, how
ever, is TO be threshed out at the convention in
Baltimore and its proceedings should be valua-
bic to those concerned in road building or street
improvement

REpuRLIcAN CANDIDATES.

G ONE Democrats who profess to know all
~ about what the Republicans are going to
do at the municipal campaign are much agitated
for fear that the organization that is the First
District Committee of the Republican party--will
throw the weight OF its influence to one asprant
for the nomination for mayor at the primaries
OF the party.
These fears are groundess for we hear that
the Organization" has no such intention Be
ing the custodian Of the affairs Of the party be-
tween elections, the committee, as a matter OF
course, is deeply interested that good and accep-
table candidates shall be nominated for all the
Offices to be filed at the election in June 1t will
doubtless make all proper effort to that end
but at that point its endeavors will stop, and its
influence as an organization will not be thrown
in favor Of any candidate for any office at the
expense of any other candidate.

those who have studied the financial
budget for the coming fiscal year. pre-
sented to the House OF Commons yes
terday by Chancellor Of the Exchequer
David Lloyd George.
The more the budget is considered,
the more It is denounced by the Con-
servatives, as a surrender to the So
cialistis demands of the Radicals and
labor party, or the "Proletariat," as
the Conservatives choose to call the
defenders Of the budget.
While the new budget will place
enoromusly increased taxes on the
wealthy classes. the middle( class is
also hard hit and the complaints from
it are almost as loud as from the
ranks OF wealth.
The increased whislSey tax, the to-
bacco tax and the increased saloon
license fee are the features of the
budget that are sure 10 be opposed
by the middle class. It was known
that income taxes and taxes on in
heritances were to be increased, but no
such advance as outlined by Lloyd
George were anticipated. The death
taxes on the largest estates amount to
is ner cent.
The tax on mining royalties and on
undeveloped city realty, due to the in
creased value from adjacent improve
ments. and on undeveloped mineral
wealth, are generally approved.
The imposition of taxes, the equal
Of those collected in war times, has
served to arouse the people to 2
realization Of the terrible drain which
/ the navy entails and a curtailment OF
naval expenditures is almost sure tC
result. If the program of increased
naval appropriations continues for g
few more years, the people fear the,

The stir OF the teachers who are demanding
more pay may start Council to thinking about
new ways Of securing revenue for the city. The
Councilmen may hesitate about raising the tax
rate, but they may look around to see If there
are not some other sources Of revenue, that
could be utilized by the city. 1t does seem that
with our already high city taxes proper running
OF the city government should leave ample money
for all necessary purposes. The agitation of
the teachers is not likely to be halted.
