American Road Congress

The Mayor has been requested
by the Hon. A. B. Fletcher, Presi-
dent of the Fourth American Road
Congress and State Highway En-
gineer of California, to name three
delegates to attend the sessions of
the Congress at Atlanta. Georgia,
during the week of November 9th.
Forty-seven great organizations
are taking part in the Congress
under the leadership of the Ameri
can Highway Association and the
American Automobile Association.
In his letter to the Mayor, Presi-
dent Fletcher calls attention to the
fact that practically every state
highway commissioner will be
present and take part in discussing
the important problems of road
construction and maintenance, and
that some of the foremost men in
public life will devote their atten-
ton to the great question of Federal
Aid to road improvement, in an
endeavor to work out a policy
which may be submitted to the
Congress of the United States with
the support of tie organized road
movement of America. An i'm
portant move bearing upon state
legislation will be made at the
session to be held under the auspices
of the American Bar Association,
at which a joint committee, APP
pointed at the 1913 Congress-, will
report progress in compilation and
suggested revision of state road
laws. The creation of commission
participated in by each state to
work out a revision of the road
laws will be urged. The National
Civil Service Reform League will
hold an exceedingly important
session on the merit system in road
administration.

Newspaper DOn'ts

Don't take your home paper. II
is the most active and powerful
factor in0building up your com
munity and to support it would
involve you in the work.
Don't pay for it if you do take
it. Newspapers are run on wind
And the editor wouldn't keep it,
anyway. He'd most likely pay it
on his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how
to run the paper. He has nothing
to do but listen and keep his tenn
per sweet.
Don't put your name to what
you want published. It's the
editors business to expose unpopu-
lar causes, and take your chestnuts
out of the fire. What hurts your
business might also hurt his-but
that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postoffice address.
He may lose track of you and you
will escape paying the last two or
three years of your subscription.
Don't forget to write on both
sides of your paper. The printer
might forget how to swear.
Don t write your communications
legibly. Deciphering them keeps
the editor busy and he is able to
make an occasional blunder, which
promotes good feeling ali around.
Don't imagine that the newspaper
man has anything to do. News
papers print themselves and the
ravens feed the printers.
