Good Roads an Asset.

Good Roads an Asset.
Governor Fielder, at the banquet
given him by the Somerset County
Automobile Club, declared that the
greatest asset of the State was the
good roads. Motorists throughout the
country are realizing that improved
roads are all-important, not alone to
themselves, but to every user of the
highway. In consequence they are
urging in every State, except Ohio,
a tax levied on all vehicles for the
proper construction and maintenance
of the highways. Ohio has already
adopted a State tax for this purpose.
The vast commercial importance of
good highways is brought out by sta
tistics compiled recently by the De-
partment Of Agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c. These show that 5000, 000,-
600 tons of freight are hauled annually
over our roads at an average distance
of ten miles. On u%nimproved roads
the cost a ton averages tw~enty-three
cents a mile. In some places, where
the roads are particularly poor, the
cost is ~sixty-eight cents a mile. On
improved roads it would scarcely ever
be more than eight cents a mile, and
this would result in a saving of
$500, 000, 900 a year to the country.
AS James B. Marker, State road com
missioner of Ohio, points out, this
would be enough to build the Panama
Canal several times over. These fig
ures seem enormous, but when we
consider the length and breadth Of
this country, its immense highway
mileage, and the difficulties under
which many agricultural and mining
products are brought to market, they
are not to be wondered at. In this
State more than half the upkeep Of
the roads is paid by the motorists.
The proposed vehicle tax would lay
the burden more fairly upon all re-
ceiving benefits from good highways.
1t has also been shown c~onclusively
that automobiles are not as destruc-
tive to the road al other traffic. in
France there are highways divided
into two parts, one for motorists and
O1O III OInO1 Id1lCs 1AO COoI VI 1C
pairing the former is negligible in
comparison to the latter. But this tax
is not proposed with a view to
tightening the burden of the motorist.
It's purpose is to place the States in
a position where they can cooperate
with the national government in road
building. The organized motorists
are endeavoring to have Congress
adopt a system of highway construc-
ton in conjunction with the States,
and one bill relating to his plan has
already passed the House. The idea
is that the Federal Government shall
pay for the construction of the main
highways running from State TO State,
provided that the States will build
the roads connecting with it.

BEFORE THE BAR AT LAST

After wriggling and twisting about
amid a maze of technicalities, former
State Treasurer Isaac b. Cameron
must at last face the bar of criminal
Justice for using the public funds in
his care as private capital. The su-
preme court Of Ohio has found that
this action constitutes embezzlement
and Mr.. Cameron will be brought to
trial speedily This furnishes the cli-
max to the long campaign begun In
1908 to overturn the conspiracy OF
theft that controlled the state treas
ury. It was then charged that the
handling of the peoples money was
part of the system headed by the Re-
publican state leaders, who exploited
the treasury for the benefit Of their
purses and the financing of their par
ty. Attorney General Timothy S Ho-
gan, proceeding through the civil law,
mas already collected $132,000 from
various banks which profited by these
Illicit dealings. The state. acting for
the despoiled depositors of the Colum-
bus Savings and Trust Co. of which
Cameron was the president and other
Republican officials we're directors, has
sued certain distinguished statesmen
TO recover large sums which they
loaned to their relatives and them
selves. In making his fight In two cam
paigns Governor Judson Harmon in
sisted that guilt was personal" and
predicted what Is now coming to pass.
The secretary of the Cameron bank,
the man who changed figures and
poured ink into record In order to baf-
Fle the examiners from the state bank
ing department and then turned on his
paIs to save himself, is now a trusted
employe at Republican state headquar-
ters. Warren G.. Harding, on the plat
form, is expressing the hope that the
"old party will come back" The inde-
pendent citizens who in 1908 helped
Harmon to overthrow this foul con-
spiracy should remember that IT it
comes back, all the work that has been
done up to the present time will have
been in vain. Since the corrupt brood
was whipped from the capitol over
s1,2hO 900 has been collected in inter
est from banks and deposited to the
people's credit Before that the Cam
erons and the McKinnoDs and their
allies got It. Now John Brennan saves
It for the people. Keep the door locked
and n trusty Waterman on the inside.

Congregationalists, last year received
aid to the amount of $559,00O, but is

with other missionary societies.
Bishop Bratton of Mississippi will
be one Of the principal speakers. AS
head of the Episcopal church in his
home state, he is interested In the ne
gro situation in the South, and his
message will be an appeal for closer
and more rational study of negro
problems by northerners.
The building of Thornton Memoir

ported; memorial Of young Virgin
ian who gave his life to Christian
work in the far North. President
Henry G. King of Oberlin College,

be the presence of Hindus from the
Pacific Coast, where they have just
