| tional treasury and others taxing the
abutting property owners. Thus far II
has been impossible to get the father
OF one good roads bill to express ia
vorable opinion of an equally mori-
torious measure. The author OF the
right kind Of a good roads law would
naturally attain some prominence and,
in view OF the coming campaign, his
future would be made sure.
Interest in the subject is widespread.
In practically every congressional dis
trict in the country resolutions embody-
ing the views of the more intelligent
class of voters have been passed and
sent to the home member at Washing
ton. Automobile and commercial clubs
desc riptions of the kind of good ronds
legislation they think is needed. This
activity has resulted in the introduction
of mvriad of bills, nothing more.
In these expressions of opinion sent
to the national capital there is some
selfishness exhibited. One statesman
has figured il out that city people gen-
orally favor plan calculated to place
thc burden of expense on the people of
the counties through which the roads
pass, IN the form of r bonded indebted
ness; the oranges generally favor the
taxation Of the luxuries for road pur-
poses, with the knowledge that such
plan of indirect taxation would fall
heaviest on the dwellers in cities aud
men of wealth.
AS between these two views q COM
promise has been suggested. This would
provide for bond issue Of $50.000,000
annually for twenty years, interest and
principal TO be paid from small retail
tobacco tax. Congressman who have
como forward with this proposition in.
sist that tax of fraction of a cent
on each Scent cigar, with proportion
ate increases on those of higher price,
would produce the necessary revenue
without anybody feeling the tax. Ci-
gars would merely be made a trifle
smaller, they say the reduction in size
being so insignificant as to make it inn
oorceptible TO the smoker save by com
oarison,
In view Of the fact that good roads
egislation is not part and parcel of

Villas Land Reform.

No doubt the methods OF General villa
in war, as they have been In peace, are
those OF bandit chief; but, in confs-
eating the land holdings Of General Ter
rszas and his family and proclaiming
that they shall be distributed among the
widows and orphans OF those slain In
tho conflict for constitutional rights. he
is aiming a deadly blow at the chief cause
of recent revolutions In Mexico The
monopolzing OF large areas OF land in
northern Mexico IN the ands of few
enormously rich men was the grievance
that gave most support to the revolution
led by Madero. and his promise to reform
the land system is what made him presi-
dent, when General Diaz gave way and
fled the country.
Msdero's inability or failure to redeem
his pledges and carry out the promised
land reform was the chief provocative
OF the insurrection against his authority
which appeared in the north not many
months after he resc ched the pinnacle OF
power, His weakness In coping with il
caused outbreaks in the south and led
TO his untlmely downfall This gathering
OF great holdings OF land by a few men
favored by the government reached Its
height under the Diaz regime. Until there
Is a reform in that respect there Is likely
TO be no stable government and IL is not
TO be wondered at that rebel CHIEF
uses his opportunity TO do a little re-
forming by violence.
General Luis Terrazas has acquired
enormous estates mostly In Chihuahua
and mainly devoted TO cattle ranches. AS
ISOLATED with him is the Creel family
said to be next TO him in wealth in north
ern Mexico. He is reputed to be worth
not less than $500, 900 900: holding 5000. 900
acres of land, employing 600 men on
his different properties. owning vast
herds OF cattle and horses, and occupying
lordly mansion which cost 81 500 600.
This kind OF property is more in the eyes
OF the people than mines and railroads
In which they cannot hope TO share Con-
sidering the poverty of the mass Of the
people and their dependence upon hard
labor at poor wages or for mere subsist-
ence. II is not strange that they demand
division of these huge estates and
easier terms for getting at the land The
brigand method OF divestng titles and
dividing plumber is not 10 be commend
ed; but in Mexico there is no small provo
cation for it in time OF civil strife. II Is
a summary method and involves no costly
indemnity. and n the revolution prevails

civilized manner OF getting some an

property In the soli.-N. Y Journal OF

STRONG-ARM METHODS.

Mayor Mitchell Of New York has in
verted the usual order OF reform, In.
stead Of following Mayor Gaynor IS
policy, the new executive has given
the patrolmen license to WELD clubs
and to shoot if necessary. This step
has been taken in an effort to break
up the murderous gangs which have
deted the police for years and which
have now reached the zenith of their
daring.
Public determination TO rid the me,
tropolis Of gangeters took permanent
form at the time Herman Rosenthal
was slain several years ago in the very
heart Of the city where night life was
at its busiest. War was declared at
that time, but the gangsters continued
their guerrilla methods, and the police
found themselves handicapped by the
restrictions which Mayor Gayuor had
placed on the use Of clubs and re-
volvers. Mayor Mitchell has decided
upon q return to "strong arm' meth
DDS. Not only will the police be al.
lowed free use Of their clubs and re-
volvers, but special "strong arm +"
squad will be sent out TO wage relent-
less warfare against the gangmen.
Kindly and humane, Mayor Gaynor
was just the man to be impressed by
the agitation against police cruelties.
In order 10 stop the abuses he changed
the entire system of dealing with
thugs, instead Of seeking TO punish the
policeman in each case of brutality.
Mayor Mitchell has decided that the
old system is the right one, and he is
prepared TO take the responsibility for
any Incidental police brutality if he
can accomplish the large purpose of
wiping out the bloodthirsty assassins
who have been making life in New
York more perilous than it ever has
been before IN the history of the city
Within the next decade the Ameri-
can people will be compelled to turn
back from q number of the reforms
which now seem to have picture values.

that something like 300 measures pro-

SURFACE ENTRY.

Considerable apprehension exists
among western members Of Congress
that the present administration in
tends TO fasten upon the country
policy of surface title for those who
hereafter take up lands within areas
withdrawn on account of minerals, in
cluding gas, oil, and phosphate. Recent
Withdrawals of western lands said to
contain these minerals and more with
drawals on account of water power
sites have so diminished the areas of
enterable public lands as practically TO
close many sections Of the west to
further homestead entry.
Opponents Of the surface entry idea
declare that the enactment Of such
law would make the cntrymau's title
of such an uncertain and indeterminate
nature az to be practically worth
less; that tho courts would never get
through trying the disputed rights Of
adverse mineral claimants because of
the possibility of there being a half
dozen or more mineral eptrymen on the
some entry under the plan proposed.
Again, if the surface entryman is 10

all minerals are reserved TO the govern.
meut TO be leased to other entrymen,
the surface entryman would never
know what kind Of a title he had.
