Good Roads Movement.

The propaganda for good roads is
bearing fruit in all sections of the
country. The enormous waste in
transportation over the existing pub
lie highways OF the country is being
driven home to the people, who suffer
in consequence.
In a desultory way communities all
over the land are seeking to remedy
conditions and many large schemes
nave been discussed which are beyond
the capacity of the local communities
to carry, out. In the early days. before
the advent of the railroad, the general
government and the states engaged in
road building on a large scale. for the
wagon road was the only means of
communication and under the most
favorable conditions was slow, but with
the advent of the railroad this was
stopped. d.
The state OF Pennsylvania Is the
first to resume roadmaking on a large
and consistent scale. A bill has. passed
both branches of the legislature ap-
propriating So, 600, 900 as a starter on
a program which ultimately compre-
bends the expenditure of $40. 100000
for a great cross-state highway, from
which the various communities through
which 1t passes are expected to run
laterals costing in the aggregate much
more than the main trunk line, The
sum mentioned will, of course, pro-
vide good roads for only a small por-
ton of the state, but the object les
son is expected TO be contagious and
within a comparatively few years to
produce a system of highways which

Senate and Tariff.

With the tariff bill largely formu-
lated so far as the house Is concerned,
interest will center next on what the
senate is likely TO do with the meas
ure. In that connection the utter
snces of Senator Aldrich are entitled
to more than ordinary weight. Mr..
Aldrich is not the senate, but for all
that. by virtue OF his position as the
head Of the finance committee. his
long service and influence in that body,
his opinions are significant. He is
quoted as saying that the bill as it
passes the senate will be a revenue
producing measure and also that it will
provide for a reduction of duties on
the necessities OF life, as compared
with the rates in the present Dingley
tariff.
The first prerequisite of producing
more revenue is in line with the ne
cessities OF the government. With a
treasury deficit of approximately
100000, 900 staring congress in the
face o revenue is essential. Ex-
penditures may be curtailed and ex-
travagances eliminated but the coun-
try is growing, its necessary expen-
ditures are increasing and If financial
embarrassment is to be avoided in
come must be increased. The demands
for development of the nations vast
latent resources. making arid lands
productive, improving waterways and
harbors, in addition to the ordinary
expenses, require sums that would
have made the statesmen of a few
generations g gasp for breath, but
they must be met IL the government
performs its duty to the people.
The proposal to lift the burden as
far as possible from necessities car
ries with it the alternative of laying
IL on the luxuries. II this is accom-
plished the bill will have met the ex-
pectation of the people and fulfilled
the promise which the republican
party made in the last campaign. That
the senate comprehends its RESPONSE
bilities in this respect is indicated by
the utterances of the leaders in that.
body and the course pursued so far
in dealing with the question.
The real crux of the question will
come when the bill has passed the
senate n gone to conference. Here
the divergent opinions of the two
houses must be fought out and the
finished law given to the nation. What
this will be can only be judged from
the past. In all recent financial and
revenue legislation the senate has
played the preponderating part. Few
If any careful observers believe the
present bill will have a fate different
from its predecessors. The senators
represent. larger constituencies and
are, therefore, liable to eliminate many
concessions to purely local interests
injected by interested house members.
In the narrowed field of the confer
ence committee the compromises will
have to be made and the law rounded
out into completeness.

Former Congressman Neville, who

populist, has died in Wyoming. where
he has been living inconspicuously
most of the time since his retirement
