this sort of thing so blind us to tbs

BUSINESS haye a right to insist
and to insist with imperious tones
that their interests shall be properly
subserved by the proper care OF those
roads in which 90 per cent. of them
are most deeply interested. And if
public officials will not listen to these
demands of the people, then turn them
out. No reasonable man objects to
paying reasonable taxes. But he does
not want his money spent for that
which is not bread He wants some
reasonable return for his reasonable
taxes. When public officials are either
too incompetent or too untrustworthy
to understand this simple demand, it
is time for such public officials to be
made to understand that they are not
acting as the peoples servants and
are no longer wanted.

Crothers AT Small Politics

The removal OF Mr.. William L.
Amoss, director OF Farmers Insti-
tutes since the organization OF that
department some thirteen years ago,
to make room for a political servant
Of Governor Crothers is an object les
son to the people OF this county,
where Mr.. Amoss and his life. long
interest N the welfare of the agricu-
turists are 50 well known, which
serves to emphasiz the small politics
being played by the Governor in his
efforts to build up "a Crothers ma
chine. When it comes to talk and
loud profession OF devotion to the
welfare OF the farmers, Crothcrs can
make more noise than a regiment,
but when the performance comes we
see exhibitions like the removal OF

The Public Service Commission

The much-heralded and much-prais-
ed Public Utilities Commission has
been in session now for more than
three months, has already cost the
State about $4,000, and if anything
to benefit the taxpayers and people
generally has been accomplished, there
has been no public mention made Of
the fact 1t is true there has been a
great parade made of the questions
that have been asked certain corpora
tons, but the answers Of these cor
porat:ons, as was expected, have
shown that they are and always have
been devoted to the service of the
people" and there the matter has ap-
parently ended.
These questions have often been
asked by newspapers, and have been
as promptly answered. and there il
has not always ended
The truth is the newspaper press is
the best public service commission
and corporations OF every character
are more apt to be brought to time by
the newspapers than by any body of
sslaried officials. The only thing the
corporations fear is the newspaper
press. The officials. sooner or later,
belong to the corporations, and pub
lie service commissioners are usually
no different from others-Frederick

n ON Z very impressive figures face
the public. in the Empire State
~ Motorst, from the pen of H
K. Bishop, first deputy OF the State
Highway Comm sson OF New York.
Mr.. Bishop ssys:--
Few people realize the cost OF
maintaining and keeping in good con-
dition improved roads of the water
may be stated that the cost OF main
tanning such roads is approximately
$500 to $500 per mile per year. Be
sides this cost oil maintenance there
must be set aside each year approx
matcly 5000 per mile to resurface the
road at the end OF the life OF the top
course. making total yearly cost Of
maintaining one mile OF waterbound
mscadam highway al sixteen feel
width from ST. 900 to LOO every year
The people would do well to paste
these figures in their hat A thousand
dollars per mile every year To main
tain stone roads, is gong some for
an ordinary agricultural community,
where dollars don't grow on bushe,
and where people pay taxes out OF
very moderate incomes And yet
stone road which is not maintained
is worse than none We have some
such IN this county at the present
tme-roads that have cost some nine
To ten thousand dollars per mile and
are going to pieces almost before
their building is completed All Of
which emphasizes the contention we
have been making for some time. that
the DlRI roads are the ones we must
chiefly consider il we are to serve the
real interests of the people There
| are some 600 miles of road in this
, county Suppose we spend the whole
| Of the county's share OF the five mil
hon State loan (SI6Eyooo) and the
| whole OF our $25o,ooo county loan on
| State roads What then? Well we
have only built about 80 to 40 miles
OF such roads out of a total mileage
! OF too-that is 500 or $40 miles of
| roads on which the people travel have
not been improved" although the
people have five million debt on the
State and a quarter of million dol
lar debt on the county, with a few
stone roads that will cost as much to
MAINTAIN as we spend annually on
the whole road system of the county.
Ii these figures and facts are not i'm
pressive, we are much mistaken. In
deed, we find the people in all parts OF
the State are waking up to the true
lnwardness OF this road question,
Politicians thought ii a popular move
ment and grabbed it Touring auto
mob;lists thought it shame that they
should not have their pathway .,.-uu.-

the interest OF the farmers, but really
in the interests OF automobiIists for

plan, have been started rather to open

interfered with by the enormous puff
ed and rated couture of a young

Whereupon he cautiously brought
