Glasscock. The other. members OF the
commission, when in session a short
time ago in Charleston, delegated d.
! rector Stewart as a committee OF one
to confer with the next executive Of
the State In order to secure his ap'
proval Of the measures proposed by
the commission. NJ
The goyernor-elect has entered
henrtily into the work OF the com:
mission and has offered a number Of
valuable suggestions as to the best
way Of n:s!ng funds for carrying on
the work OF road building and as TO
the organization Of the proposed bu.
rcau. Tho good roads commission
will recommend to the Legislature
that a department Of roads be ere
attd with a commissioner at the
head OF the bureau. At present there
is some difference Of opinion rs to
whether funds should be raised by a
snecial road tax OF one per cent, or by
!: production tax on coal. oil, gns and
certain kinds Of lumber, such as cross
ties. etc.
The commission does not advocate
construction Of roads on an elaho.
rate scale at the outset, but does
recommend that start be made in
the direction OF State aid for roads,
the State to pay at least .one-thIrd OF
the cost OF improving West Vir.
einin's highways. In line with this
policy Of road improvements the
commission will also recommend
that In each county there shall be a
road engineer. upon whom shall rest
the responsibility for the condition
OF tho roads In his district These
county engineers will employ COM
betent assistants. While the COM
mission favors the appointment Of
road engineers for the counties. Mt
the same time it recommends that
all other petty road officers be dis
ponsed with, thus clrtting down ex-
Eenses materially.
Regarding State Aid. y
In the distribution OF State aid there
Is some discussion as to whether the
money should be apportioned by coun-
ty or magisterial districts, although the
majority Of the members OF the COM,
mission favor the county as the unit
for distribution. The money will be
given by the State in proportion to the
amount Of taxes collected in the c0un-
ties and the amount expended by The
counties on roads.
Tine commission points out that
at presetn large s'lm of money is
being wasted on roads in the State,
and at the same time the roads nre
poorly cared for, One instance Of
the conditions Of roads in the State
that has been cited to the commits
sion comes from this county. An In
vestigation OF the cost OF hauling
freight from Jimtown to Mount Nor.
ris. just across the line in Pennsyl-
vania, distance Of seven miles, re-
veals the fact that It costs just $50
times as much TO haul the freight
over the .limtown road as It would to
transport 1t distance Of seven miles
by rail: It costs Just three times as
much to haul 100 pounds OF freight
over the same stretch Of seven miles

Ex-Gov. Folk Predicts Pan-American
1 Nation.

That the whole Of the American
continent will eventually become one
great reprolic under the government
of what is now the United States, is
the prediction made by Former Gov
ernor Folk in a recent conversation.
Governor Folk declared that a clash
between the United States and Cana
da is inevitable, and that it will come
in the not distant future is his belief.
The great influx of Americans in the
grain fields and lumber region of
southwest Canada, each carrying with
him his natural allegiance to the
United States, is the leaven which he
thinks eventually must develop the
clash between the United States and
her sister country on the north. The
situation in Mexico also offers food
for serious thought, he admitted. The
natural antagonism of the Mexicans
to the American mining interests in
that country, which has been kept un-
der by President Diaz, he thinks, will
break out afresh at the death Of the
Mexican president.

Noble Red Men Vanishing.

As the buffalo vanishes from he
great Western plains, so is the red
man gradually disappearing through
the ravages Of Tuberculosis, To save
the Indian race from extinction by
this dread disease and vet lead it in
to the ways Of the white man, is the
great task which officials of the bu-
reau Of Indian affairs has under
taken.
There will be a concerted effort on
the part Of all connected with the
Indian service for the removal of the
causes of tuberculosis, for education
in the measure Of prevention and for
systematizing the care and segrega-
ton Of patients afflicted with this
diease.
About a quarter of century ago
when the white men undertook to civ
ilize the Indian, tuberculosis was an
almost unknown disease among that
race. Gradually the disease made it's
appearance until today the Indians
are dying off at the rate of approx
mately a thousand per annum. None
seem to be SO susceptible to the on
slaughts Of tuberculosis as the Souix
Indians in South Dekota. Only last
year nearly one thousand members
of this tribe were afflicted with the
disease.
