HAROLD ADVOCATES
GOOD ROADS MOVE

In DR.. l. s. Harold, who is spending
sometime in the West, Richmond has
an ardent advocate OF good rOads. DE-
Harold writes as follows:
There should be a greater interest
manifested in Richmond and vicinity
in reference to the rebuilding OF the
Old National Road. In order to over
come this lack Of sentiment and err
thusiasm, there should be an effort put
forth to interest the schools or Lne
city and county in arranging to take
part in a pageant that has been pro-
posed to take place sometime this
coming summer; If 1t Is not too late
to make the necessary preparation, 1t
would be a splendid idea to have each
county in the State Of Indiana make
ARRANGEMENTS to hold this celebration
on the Fourth OF July. II the CONNER
cial Clubs and the School Superin-
tendents would seriously undertake
this matter at an early date, there
could be created such an enthusiasm
that would insure the success of the
undertaking by that time.
II believe this scheme should be
carried out in each state through
which the Road is to pass from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Indiana is lacking in the matter
agement. The next Legislature should
arrange for State Highway Commits
sioner to pass upon State Roads. thus
insuring the wisest expenditure of
money, and the greatest efficiency in
road building.
THE importance of the Government
, undertaking the construction of Ma
tional highways under the supervision
of our army engineers, directed by
National and State committees, is APP
parent to those who have given the
matter serious consideration.
1T has been the history of other
nations that road building was not a
success until it was supervised by the
! Government Until within the last
year or two, this Nation had not spent
dollar for seventyfive years or more
in the building of National highways
within our borders.
1.-The United States should no longer
neglect it's manifest duty to her cit
! liens in this regard.
"Richmond and Wayne county set
| the example by creating sentiment and
enthusiasm that shall reach across the
continent in this matter"

WAYNE County's Tax Assessors

Newspaper writer's are often under such a
stress of hurry as not to be able to take adequate
precautions in expressing their thoughts. In an
editorial on Scientific Taxation" under date OF
April 18th, expressed ourselves concerning
methods of tax assessment in Indiana. We are
still convinced that a matter of fact we were
in the right but believe could have expressed
ourselves in less dogmatic fashion and might
have been at more pains to make it clear that we
were not aiming shafts at any local men.
The dissertation concerned itself with taxa
ton methods of the state as whole and state
ment was made that because of the system of
paying but two dollars per day. tax assessors
were too often a flock of lame ducks" without
much equipment for their work. Subsequent in
vestigation has substantiated that assertion, in
so far as it applies to the state at large, but has
given us grounds to speak quite otherwise of
Wayne county assessors, a thing very
glad to do.
Wayne county is ahead of other Indiana
counties in it's tax assessing methods. Although
it is handicapped by having politics mixed up
with its tax machinery and could do better if
larger salaries were paid so that men could make
life long profession of tax assessing the coun-
ty is still able through the system of division of
labor to give the taxpayers an efficient service
much better than the average in the state
Two men make speciality of real estate i'm
provements. One man devotes himself to cor
poratons and manufacturing industries. A third
makes speciality of retail stores and merchan-
disc. BY this plan of specializing, the assessors
able to achieve much higher grade of pro-
ficiency than would otherwise be possible. The
county owes this, for the most part, to the per-
sonal interest in the subject taken by Auditor
Bowman and Mr.. Charles Porter, both of whom
commended by State Tax Commissioner

ABSENCE OF FREE LAND CAUSES HIGH COST
OF LIVING, IS PROF. RUSSELL'S ExPL ANAT|ON

Prof, Ebert Russell spoke at the
chapel exercises yesterday on the re-
latlon of land cost to the present high
cost of living, and suggested that in
the attempts to solve the problem of
living by the dissolution of trusts, the
regulation of tariff and similar means,
the keynote of the situation has been
entirely overlooked.
In 1880 the cost of the material in
a furnished product was six per cent
of the entire cost" said Prof. Russell,
while at present it is sixty-siX per
cent of the entire cost In the eight
les the great amount of free land made
the monopolization of the raw product
impossible, and the only consideration
in the regulation of the cost of raw
material was for labor and transpor-
tation to the market.
In 1880, for example, grazing land
in the west was free. and the only
cost in the raising Of cattle for the
market was that of labor and trans
portation. At the present time the
land value in the grazing district is
at least $50 an acre. When we re-
member that each steer requires ten
acres over which to Craze, and that he
in preparation for the market. we re-
alize the investment of 5000 year for
three years, or $500, the interest of
which must now be added to the cost
of each steer when it is sent to mar
ket. Thus every steer costs at least
$50 more now than thirty years ago"
Prof Russell also showed that this
increase in the cost of raw material
due, as he showed, to land cost, has
affected all industries, notably the iron
and steel industries, where the price
on ores has doubled in the last ten
years.
The fact that this new item of land
cost has arisen to devOur so much
of the profit has precipitated the
struggle of capital and labor, each
striving to secure enough from the
meager remainder to secure a liveli

Any irritation or breaking out on the
face. arms. legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying a little bold-sulphur
cream. says a noted dermatologist.
He states that bold-sulphur instant
ly allays the angry itching and irrita-
ton and soothes and heals the Eczema
right up leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a
secure position for many years in the
treatment Of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of it's parasite-destroying prop
erty. Nothing has ever been found TO
take it's place in treating the irritable
and inflammatory skin affections.
While not always establishing a per.
manent cure it never fails to subdue
the itching irritation and drive the
Eczema away and II is often years
later before any eruption again ap-
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an ordi-
nary cream.

of trusts and similar actions inaugur-

is possible that we have neglected the
