good citizenship work of the most APP
proved type, n thus has come about
the designation, chamber of Citizen
Ship which is used with increasing
frequency by officers and members and
which they justly regard as a title Of
honor.
Business and professional men of the
chamber, who did not dream a few
years ago that they could possibly
spare any time from business for civic
duties, are now active and enthusiasts
tice in solving difficult public questions
which are so often left, with indiffer-
ent results, to individual reformers or
nobody, writes the Rev. Albert Sidney
Gregg in Leslie's Weekly. They give
hours to committee meetings and inves-
legations hat they might devote to
making more money for themselves, but
they give gladly of time and ability,
without thought of immediate personal
returns. Such an atmosphere of de-
votion to the larger interests of the
city exists in the chamber that the
members make their citizenship duties
a part of their regular scheme of daily
activities. Time is saved and good fell

the boast of Camdens impotence in the matter is not calculated

and all in favor of the proposed constitutional amendments. The
object is practically the same in both cases, restriction upon the
rights of the people. The voting machine is a handicap upon
popular suffrage, and the amendments, if adopted, would remove
the Governor, the Legislature and the State courts farther away
from the people. 1t is perfectly consistent that the supporter of
the voting machine should be the adyQfefs of the constitutional

DEDE WOULD
TAX AUTOS
Has Novel Way Of Rails
Ing Money for Good
Roads

Washington. D. G., Feb. 24.-A brand
new proposition has been sprung In
congress by Representative Adam
Bede, relative 10 a fund for improve
ment OF public highways. Mr.. Bede
proposes to pass law which viii put
automobiles in the Interstate COM
merce class. This would then give
the federal government the power to
tax them. and he proposes to put an
annual tax of from $40 to $25, the
money thus paid in to go to a road Inn
provement fund to improve post roads.
It win be realized what an enormous
amount this would create when one
considers the great number of auto
mobiles now in use, and the rapid in
crease every year. Automobiles are
said to be more injurious to dirt roads
than heavy loaded wagons, because Of
the high rate Of speed they run.
Therefore. there is no reason why the
owners Of autos should not pay their
share for the improvement Of the high
ways.
Besides" argues Mr.. Bede. who 10
somewhat of a philosopher. amy per-
son who is rich enough to own an
automobile ought to be filing to pay
s25 per year for bet roads. And
It is reasonable to gi IS that a vast
majority OF automobiles are used to
transport their owners across state
lines, and they actually do thus become
interstate commerce"
