JUDGE BOARDS VIEWS ON GOOD
ROADS.

It Is with much pleasure that The
Eagle publishes in this issue an open
letter Of Judge A. g. Board, tersely
and clearly stating his attitude toward
the important and much discussed
question of road improvement. There
is no need to call attention to Judge
Boards article, for It will be eagerly
read by practically every taxpayer In
Brazos county. ~
In line with the policy he has con-
sistently followed heretofore, Judge
Board favors bond issue. provided 1t
can be assured that the proceeds Will
be justly distributed, each taxpayer
getting as nearly as practicable his
share OF the benefit. This qualification
will be concurred in by every lover OF
the square deal.
The only disappointing feature OF
Judge Boards letter Is one that Is
conspicuous by its absence--the fail
ure to say anything about the project
ed Red river.to-gulf macadam road.
When his attention was called to this
omission Judge Board said he thought
1t was good thing, though he be-
lieves its importance Is overestimated
by some, and will favor 1t within the
limitations outlined in his letter. He
will not consent to expend the entire
amount of a bond issue on such
road, leaving those who pay large
share of the taxes unprovided for.
Judge Boards plan, as outlined in
conversation with the editor Saturday
morning, Is to begin with macadamiz-
ing the road running parallel with the
Houston & Texas Central railroad
from point about five miles north OF
Bryan to point about an equal dis
lance south of College, and from this
nucleus 10 extend the work in all di.
rections as fast and as far as the
means available will permit.
The suggestion that the citizens OF
each precinct hold meetings and de-
eide upon the location of the roads to
be improved before the election is or
dered will doubtless win votes for the
bond issue for by this means the tax.
payer could know just what he was
going to get for his money. AS The
Eagle has heretofore remarked, the
average taxpayer Is reasonable and ia
vorable to public Improvements, and is
willing to bear his share OF the cost,
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1911-06-03

but he doesn't want to have to pay
and the other fellow get all the benefit.
It would be unwise for the commits
sioners to order an election before as
pertaining whether or not the people
are favorable to the proposition. The
Eagle Is doing It's best to increase in
terest by campaign OF education. and
these columns are open to all who
may wish to discuss the subject for
the benefit OF the public. There are
many intelligent farmers in Brazos
county. Will not some of them help
us to push the campaign, or II they
are opposed to 1t, tell the public why?

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

West Virginia is the latest state to
reject the income tax amendment to
the federal constitution. The upper
branch Of its legislature defeated 4
ratification resolution last Thursday

cant. There are fifteen republican
and fifteen democratic members of

cans and ten democrats Joined in kill

lower house with only two votes in on.

ANOTHER FIRE AT MIcANoPY
J. 3. simonton Loses Barn and Four
Valuable Animals

Another disastrous fire visited Mic
anopy at an early hour Saturday
morning, destroying the splendid
barn, two. fine horses and two mules,
the property of Mr. ]. B. Simonton, a
well known resident of that town
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is thought to have been the
work of some midnight visitor. When
the blaze was discovered the entire
building was wrapped in flames and
sufficient time was not allowed to res
cue the four animals, which persisted
in great agony. One of the horses
was valued at $500. and was a magnifi-
cent animal, being highly regarded by
Mr.. Simonton. The loss of the build
ing and contents will entail loss of
three thousand dollars, which was not
covered by any insurance. Gaines

TO SPEED THE TYPEwRITIsT

A special from London says that the
latest development in connection with
the typewriter is a machine to print
syllables of two and three letters by
a single pressure of the key-a time
saving device that will meet with
great favor in all business houses.
This invention calls for no special
skill by the operator. There is the
ordinary standard keyboard, but the
keys can be extended to so or more.
The two-letter syllables include the
following: Be, an, ch, do, ed, is, in, no,
ST., I'm; and among the three-letter
syllables are: All, and. who, are, end,
has, the, our, for, may, not, hav, con,
com, ing, ace, dis, per, pro.
When the operator has become used
to the position of the syllables, and
has memorized them, it is clear that
tipping will be more rapid process.
For instance, for the word account
ant" it is only necessary to depress
four keys instead of ten, as on an or
binary machine; ''disunion" is writ
ten by means of three keys instead of
eight; misfortune" and permission
also require only four keys each.
The machine possesses a pawl and
escapement wheel so arranged that
when syllable key is depressed the
carriage jumps a space equal in length
to the. syllable. The type strikes the
ribbon through metal guide, thus in.
surfing perfect alignment.
1t is the intention to open an office
near the house of parliament, and to
employ staff of skilled operators for
the convenience of members and
newspaper representative in the
press gallery, so that the value of the
new machine may be fully tested.

HAMILTON, CLAY AND BLAINE

Mr. Taft has quoted William Nc
Kinley in favor of reciprocity. He
might easily have called to the wit
ness-stand the fathers of protection in
America. In his memorable report on
manufactures in 1871, Alexander
Hamilton said:
If one nation were in a condition to
supply manufactured articles on bet
ter terms than another, that other
might find abundant indemnification
in a superior capacity to furnish the
produce of the SOIL And free ex-
change, mutually beneficial, of the
commodities which each has been able
to supply on the best terms, might be
carried on between them, supporting
in full vigor the industry of each.
These sentiments are found in
speeches by Henry Clay, the first in
1920 and the second in 1910:
too am a friend of free trade, but
Lit must be free trade of perfect re-
ciprocity. No one, Mr.. Pres
ident, in the commencement of the
protective policy ever supposed that 1t
was to be perpetual.
A letter written September Is, 1850,
by James G. Blaine, contained the fol
lowing:
The protectionist who opposes re-
ciprocity in the form in which it is
now proposed knocks away one of the
strongest supports of the system.
The enactment of reciprocity is the
safeguard of protection. The defeat
of reciprocity is the opportunity OF
free trade.
