Good Reads and How to Get Them.

1t is universally admitted that we
need good roads in Adair county, and,
as for that, throughout the State; but
there is diversity of opinion as to how
best to get them. There is one prop
oSition that no one will deny, and
that's, five get good roads they must
be paid for. The county is now en-
gagged in an experiment in the matter
of bodybuilding. A tax of 25cts. on
the one hundred dollars worth of prop
erty has been levied. and with the as
sistance Of local and state aid one
road is to be built. This is far better
than doing nothing, but it is also far
from being the best way as 1 think I
can prove to any thinking man.
In the first place, it will take term
of years to build roads all over the
county by the above method, and it
will be very unfair to build one or two
or three roads and then to stop, which
is likely to occur at any time, as this
plan will furnish a hobby-horse for
every demagogue in the country to
to try to ride into office on, and like
the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusa-
lem the work is likely to be hindered
or stopped altogether. And further
more, there will be confusion and
hard feelings every year in the loca-
ton of the piece of road to be built,
as long as the present method is pur-
sued.
Now for a better plan: Let the
county borrow 500, 10000 or any 9TH
er amount at per cent. per annum
and use that tog ether with the local
and state aid in piking all the princi-
pal thoroughfares of the county with
in the next two or three years. Let a
tax of 26cts. per hundred mark you
only 26cts. per hundred) be levied to
pay the interest and create a fund for
the final payment of the original loan.
The county is now paying tax on &c..
694, 9S5.0O. A 26cts. levy on that basis
will produce in round numbers $1,000
per annum. Five thousand dollars of
this will pay the annual interest and
the remaining two thousand dollars
at per cent. will create fund that
will in thirty years pay the whole
debt.
What are some of the advantages of
this plan over the plan now being
tried? Well, the greatest advantage
is that every part Of the county gets
a good road at once, and has the road
to help pay for itself. In the second
place one part of the county is not
taxed to build road for another Sec
tion while itself is still in the mud.
In the third place this better plan
costs us only one cent per hundred
more than a plan that is so full of OBJ
jections and so unsatisfactory; and in
the fonrth place it will insure the
county's getting eighty or one hun
dred miles of good roads Immediately
and every man, woman and child in
the county greatly benefited and no
one injured. Let us get out of the
mud. Hurrah for good roads.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.-Presi-
dent Wilson will tender the appoint
ment of Counsellor of the State De-
partment in a few days to Frank l.,
Polk. corporation counsel of the city
of New York.
Secretary Lansing is understood to
have selected Mr.. Polk for the coun-
sellorship.
This disclosure. which comes from
a high administration authority, shows
clearly that the friends of ex-Repre-
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer have
realized the inadvisability of further
urging him for the counsellorship.
Until a few days ago, when disclos-
ures were published regarding a mys-
terious White House visitor who was
described by the initials m. p" and
who apparently got information from
the President which was passed on to
agents of the German Government,
Mr.. Palmer was believed to be under
favorable consideration for the coun-
sellorship.
Mr.. Palmer himself has issued a
statement denying emphatically that
he was the IN. P" referred to in the
newspaper disclosures.
