country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-

parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis of its
protection without interfering with
rights of conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-

us all, churchmen and laymen, to
hold up the hands of our president.

Tax Levy Plan Wrong.
BY HOWARD n. GROSS.

In forwarding any great movement,
as the building of good roads, enthus-
iasm is essential, but unless this is
coupled with knowledge of the sub
ject, it is question whether 1t some
times does not do more harm than
good The writer believes that
movement for better highways is oft
en- retarded by over-zealous friends
who are attempting to do something
they do not understand. The propo-
sition to build good roads throughout
the land is very big one, and ex-
ceedingly important. 1t Is a question
that must be handled In a big way
IL anyone had suggested fifty years
ago the building of a railway to the
Pacific slope, he would have been de-
clared at least visionary. This has
been accomplished and today there
are half dozen such railways, and
the four months journey across the
desert is now compassed in less than
three days. While the building of
good wagon roads throughout the
country is an UNNECESSARILY big job,
yet there are back of 1t boundless re-
sources; there is far more to encour-
age us than the builders of these first
great continental roads had to en-
courage them. Let us go forward
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1911-06-30

with a stout heart and high purpose
and with clear head, and all will
come out right.
In q good roads campaign one or
the most important things Is Co I'M
learn some things that are not so, to
get a view of the proposition from
the right angle, and not to work along
impractical lines. The good roads
fever usually breaks out in some com
munity with a hurrah, to build a mile
or two of hard roads, and there is a
suuabble to determine which particu-
lar road shall have the Improvement.
Selfshness crops out and must be
reckoned with. When the particular
road has been determined upon, then
comes the question of raising funds.
Those who are disappointed will give
nothing: others will contribute va
rious amounts; the banker, merchant
and grain dealer are called upon and
subscribe different sums; others will
contribute labor; an entertainment
will be held in the town hall, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to the building OF
the road. The local paper Will be

torials; everybody is patting himself

bond issue, paying off the bonds in in
stallments. This is vastly better and
cheaper than to build short stretches
by an annual tax levy. Of course in
terest will have to be paid upon the
bonds, but on the other hand the peo-
pie will have good roads to use, and
If the use of the roads Is not worth
more than the interest on the bonds
required to build them, then road
building is not worth while. The
worlds experience is that good roads
are always worth several times what
they cost to any community.
There are many advantages to this
plan. BY building many miles at once
1t is practical to have good engineer
ing supervision and proper specifica-
tions, and the result will be a well
drained, a better and a more durable
road and one that will not cost nearly
as much to maintain as one poorly
constructed. Again, on so large a job
contractors will figure lower than up
on small job and the best machinery
and methods can be employed to ad-
vantage, so it is fair to say that twen-
ty miles of road built under single
contract will cost from Is to 20 per

Uses of Paper Metal.

At the great coronation pageant,
which will be next June, when George
is crowned King George ". of Eng
land, there is to be something entire
ly different from anything that has
ever happened before.
Instead Of real armor the armor
that is to be worn will be made of
paper metal" There will be exact
copies Of all the old sets of armor used
and the paper metal will be so fixed
that the armor made from it will
give the appearance of the original.
And 1t is said that in the future the
metal" will be used for almost all
outdoor decorations, because it Is
much cheaper than plaster paris and
also is waterproof.
It can be made to represent all the
different metals and is so strong that
one can jump on it without making
any impression on 1t.
