As part of the report, they submitted statement prepared by Schrank to be read to the jury which statement alone contained sufficient internal evidence of Schrank's mental Responsibility. According the newspapers, Schrank showed keen disappointment in not being allowed to pose a martyr, to the satisfaction of his paranoiac deusons and the in- spiration of other insane cranks.

Cost of New York State Roads


tR. Walter CreuZbar in New York Times)
 MT. Bakers letter o the Times carries convc- ton as to of the fallacies financial plan under which many of have recently voted for the issue fifty year state road bonds to the amount of $5O,OOO,O0O No argument should really be needed with lawmakers financial officers to bring about radical change in the pre- vailing method of issuing such ong-term bonds improvements such as these state road pavements that will to pieces and require several renewals before the maturity of the bonds and their payment by the next generation.
 The theory on which the state is entering upon the expenditure of the second half of s1OO.0OOOOO investment is unsound and unfair to the taxpayer at large, essentially because the taxpayers have anything like an equal share in the benefit derived from the investment Fundamentally, ori- gina physical Improvements of this character should be par for, in great part, by assessment the property in the districts served and benefited and the remedy Mir Baker proposes, that of making these bonds of shorter term with an annual sinking fund does not reach this question. Here in city New York We have met and. perhaps, solved the question in improving and providing for the paving of several thousand miles of roadways and their maintenance and replacement. For original improvements the city has established trust street improvement fund.-" of which contracts made for the first permanent pavements laid these roadways, and subsequently, the actual cost of the work, including all interest paid by the city is assessed directly on the property benefited The cost of maintenance of these paved roadways and their replacement by new paving when worn is provided for in the annual levy. In other words, city pavements paid for in the first place by the abuttlng property in direct assess ment, and the maintenance and resurfaicng by the annual tax levy. Under pressure from automobile clubs and other interests. of the bor- oughs has been allowed special funds the city treasury improve the main arteries of heavy fife, where it believed assessment for local benefit could not be equitably made but this is exception in the city procedure.
 The $5o,000,0o0 fund might be conserved for a extended public benefn1 by additional legisla tion to provide that part of the cost of state roads be carried by the property in the districts benefited and that part of this first and of the maintenance be contributed by automobile tax, the high of special construction being directly due to the destructive effect of such Vehicular traffic

 He has returned. would think, prematurey but for the fact that his gubernatoral duties have opportunities of office seekers three months. Many of them must think from interview given out by him Monday that he failed to make the best of his time while abroad, He imparted the startling intelligence that made his cabinet selections yet; that he hardly seriously considered them; that he the per- sonnel of his official family any member of the rank and file.

 How expect a progressive administration by who is inclined let things drift in this manner? Bermuda is entirely restful a place. It induces langour and procrastnation.

 This procrastinator ought to rejoice in the char acer of the Arizona democracy which his absence and idleness has been busy and has left nothing to be done but to make formal entrance upon official duties There is really no reasons so far as Ari- sona is concerned why Gov Wilson should have 1e- turned from Bermuda before March f next.
