Some Of the Inconsistencies of the

and amusing.
Mayor Behrman stopped a sarcastic
parade of skeletons, deaths head and
undertakers marching before a hears
that carried ballot box we'll stuffed
withe the votes of the deceased who
accompanied it. His reason for this
arbitrary move against what appeared
to be legitimate irony was that the
Goo Coos concerned were making "a
mockery Of death"
The same police permitted Don CAT.
fiery to be buried in effigy, with all
the accompaniments of a funeral with.
out interference. This spectacle was
presented within a few feet of the
bier of the unfortunate Bonee, who
was killed by city employee at the
polls last Tuesday.
And this is the same Behrman who
said, when he forbade the production
OF La Samarataine, that he was "un-
aIterably opposed to anything that Of
Tended the moral sense of any portion
OF the community"

My dear ladies, if you want TO

THE PROBLEM OF THE MlSSIS,
SIPPl.

H. H. Windsor, writing in the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine, among 9th
er things says that the flood control
of the Mississippi was declared to
be an engineering project second on,
ly 10 the Panama Canal, by the Deep
Waterways Commission, held in Chi
cagO 1t was agreed that only
through the government could control
be secured, but that returns from
water powers thus created, and the
sale of reclaimed lands would 60 far
toward capitalizing the enterprise.
One of the interesting developments
of the convention was the announce
mont hat there are three possible
routrs for the diversion of excess
water Of the upper Mississippi by
canals to Lake Michigan: First, from
ST. Paul to Green Bay, 259 miles;
second, Lacrosse to Milwaukee, 1S5
miles, and third, Galena to Chicago,
1852 miles. The damage caused by
the 1912 flood is estimated at $780,
100000. Two such floods alone cost
aS much as the Panama Canal. The
subject is one which is bound to re-
ceiVe attention from now on, and
will be considered at the meeting Of
governors at Richmond at which time
a permanent board will be appoint
ed to investigate and report.-Pica-

much of the six and two-tenths mills
tax as might be necessary to meet
the local governmental needs.
OF the total tax of sixteen and two
tenths mills under the present sys-
tenn only ten mills would go to the
parish, the remainder going to the
State. Under the proposed system
the entire amount levied would be
paid under the old plan. Hence, the
statement that the plan would result
in an increase of local taxation is
without any foundation whatever.
The farmer and other people owning
the property reserved to the locali-
ties would not have to pay one cent
more of taxes.
Notwithstanding the fact that taxa
ton within a parish would not be in
creased at all, all the parishes in
the State, with the exception of about
four, would receive more money for
local purposes. The parishes that
lose will have their losses COmpen.
stated. But this detail will not be
discussed at this time.
The plan is true to the underlying
purpose to provide more revenue for
the needs of the State and local gov
ernments by employing new forms of
taxation and by reaching the tax
dodgers, and not by increasing the
rate of taxation. It is proposed di-
rectly in the interest of the masses
of the people and for their benefit.
It would not be amiss at this time
t. speak one word of caution. I'm
favorable criticisms should not be &C
cepted without inquiry as to their
real sources. Special interests have
selfish motive in seeking to de-
feat the plan, and it is certainly
true that their agents and emissa-
rieS will pose as the friends Of the
people and endeavor to make them
believe that it will work to their in
jury. Those seeking to further Sell
fish ends usually appear in the livery
of patriots and do not disclose their

him up and sent him spinning into a

Bigelow Of Pennsylvania hears from

number of signposts needed to proper
ly equip the highways of Pennsylvania
with markers, contracts for metal
posts will be let.
For weeks the commissioner has been
working out plan to provide the state
with uniform signposts. He found
such indispensable adjuncts to travel
almost totally lacking in every part of
the state he visited on his tour of 1900
miles of road and reports have reach
ed him that conditions are as bad in
other parts Of the state.
In many localities the local authori-
ties have paid no attention to signposts
for years and in others have allowed
posts to go to ruin. Posts exist in GER
tain portions which have blank boards,
and the only means of direction for
travellers, as a rule. are those provided
by motor clubs.

4 BEAUTIFUL HILL ROAD IN THE WEST
make the road almost impossible and
require several days labor a number
of times each year to repair. To avoid
this trouble the road may be sloped
from the bank side enough to carry
the water directly across the road.
When grade is desired on a side
hill roadway plow in three burrows on
the lower side. the outside furrow to
be about twenty feet from the bank
When grading draw this loose dirt to-
ward the center of the roadway with
slope Of about one inch to the foot,
carrying this slope across the entire
grade. The ditch thus made should be
opened at short intervals to let out the
water.
After the grading is done headers
should be put in to divert any water
that might follow the wheel track. To
make these headers scrape with the
slusher a trench little diagonally
across the grade about two scrapers
width and not deep. Deposit this dirt
with more from the outside alongside
the trench, making the ridge no higher
than absolutely necessary to accom-
plish its purpose and not less than ten
feet wide. thus causing as little OBJ
struction as possible. This plan will
always provide a quick drying hill
road With the occasional use of
King drag this can be kept like bou-,
levard.
When the highway is cut through a
hill 1t is desired to keep reducing the
grade. To this end work the road
against one bank. leaving ditch on
one side only. Turn all the water from
above and along the hill into this
ditch Plow it in repeatedly each sea
son. After this trench has washed too
much for safety smooth this side and
change the ditch to the opposite side Of
the road and repeat. You will be sur
prfsed at the change in steepness ef-
fected in ten or twelve years.-W. S.
Wiley.
