Two years after the completion Of
this work the railroad took away in
twelve months from Fredericksburg,

cultural and forest products hauled
over the highways to that town. Be-
fore the Improvement Of the roads

WORD POOR IS
SU.PPLAN'T|N.G
Term PAUPER"
And Attitude Of States Toward
Dependents Undergoing a
Marked Change.
e.r.e,Al 10 M. 1...eeAs,


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
The specific term ..pauper-' is grad
ually passing out of use in connection
with the poor. and there has been a
marked change in recent years in the
attitude of the state and public to-
ward those who are unable to provide
for themselves, according to the sum-
mary Of the state laws affecting the
dependent classes in the United
States soon to be published by Di-
rector William j. Harris of the Blu
reau of the Census, Department of
Commerce.
The census report for 1914 gave an
outline of the laws indicating the
kind and extent Of outdoor relief fur
ntshed; the auspices under which 1t
has been disbursed; the class Of per-
sons entitled to aid; the methods OF
almshouse administration and the
chief regulations governing them; the
treatment of destitute children: the
extent of state supervision OF aims
houses. and in general the pauper
satisfies of each state. In connection
with the report for 1910 this outline
was extended so as to summarize all
laws affecting the dependent classes
up to 1913, including not only in
mates OF poorhouses and those re-
iceiving outdoor relief. but dependent
children, the INDECENT and insane
the feeble-minded and other defec-
tfves; the sick, particularly those
suffering from tuberculosis: soldiers
and sailors; and the blind and the
deaf. so far as their education anc
training involves special care.
Children Educated.
The summary states that in place Of
the specific term "pauper" there arr
now used the general terms poor
INDECENT" dependent" applicable
to great variety OF persons; the
"pauper asylum" and 'poorhouse'
are giving place to infirmaries. hos
pitfalls and homes for the aged anc
intirm. Insane asylums are calico
state hospitals: state charity with 1t!
almost inevitable stigma is gradual,
giving place to state aid, and it II
coming to be recognized that thu
mere fact of inability to support
oneself does not involve necessarily
any disgrace.
Thus the laws of the different
states affecting dependent, neglected
and delinquent children almost in
variably contain the caution and the
injunction that they should be inter
preted literally to the extent tina,
the child's best interests may be sub
served. and with this in view thu
child, except as an infant. is ex
cluded from the almshouse and from
the jail. especially in association
with criminals. and is to be placed II

increased fifty-nine per cent, tobacco
thirty-one per cent, and lumber and
other forest products forty-eight per
cent.
Hauling Cost Reduced.
In addition to this increase in guam
tity the cost Of hauling each ton of
produce was materially reduced. In
other words the farmers not only
produce more cheaply, for the cost OF
transportation to market is Of course
an important factor in the cost of
production. From this. point Of view
1t IS estimated that the 500, 900 spent
in improving the roads in Spotsyl-
vania county saved the farmers OF that
county $41 900 a year.
In the last two years the traffic
studies Of the federal experts show
that approximately an average OF
60, 600 tons Of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads in the
county an average distance OF eight
miles, or total OF $50 900 "ton- miles"
Before the roads were improved 1t
was estimated that the average cost
of hauling was twenty cents .ton-
mile; after the Improvement this

eight cents per mile on $4,000 ton
miles" is $1,000 year. The coun-.
TVS investment OF 100000 in other
words returns dividend Of forty
per cent annually.
Load Is Doubled.
Because this saving, in cases Of this
character, does not take the form Of
cash put directly into the farmers
pocket there is a widespread tendency
to believe that It is fictitious profit,
while as matter of fact It is Just as
real a source OF profit as the increase
In the price of wheat.
In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for
example, where peanuts is one Of the
staple crops. the average load for
two mules on a main road was about
1000 pounds before the road was i'm
proved. After It's Improvement the
average load was found to be 1000
pounds and the time consumed In
hauling the larger load to market was
much reduced. In other words one
man with a wagon and two mules
could do more than twice as much
work with the improved road than
with an unimproved road. This is
the explanation of the, extraordinary
rise In the total output Of agricultural
products in county with good road
system.
