1t takes the products of the farms to
the city and the products OF the city
factories to the farms.
The second axiom, that the degree of
the improvement should be proportion
ate to the traffic Importance of the
road, If strictly observed. would do
away with one of the most fertile
sources Of waste and extravaganza In
road Improvement
If the third axiom Is rigidly observed
there will be no danger Of the commu-
nifty being left with bonded indebt-
edness for which there is no improve
ment TO show in return. 1t must be re-
meTbered, however, that. although no
road rs whole Is permanent, certain
features OF it. such as the location and
grading. are so.
The fourth, fifth. sixth and seventh
aXtoms strike at the notion which used
to be more prevalent than it is now,
that road building is merely a matter
or putting certain number of people
10 work for certain length OF time
For similar reasons specialists now
strongly urge as general proposition
the abolition Of any form OF labor tax
for the upkeep Of roads. The equiva-
lent In cash will produce much better
results for the reason that experienced
men can find steady employment by

they are most needed

the disposal Of the state should be used
as far as possible for public improve
ment instead Of commercial produc-
ton. refers. OF course. to convict labor
upon the road. Under the guidance Of
skilled men there is no reason why this
could not be done satisfactorily. The
axiom. however. goes further than
this for 1t implies the utilization OF
various other agencies that have moth
ing to do with the state prisons-the
state gcolOgist for example: the fac
ulty Of the state university. the state
bureau of statistics and agriculture
AMI the state civil service commission.

pleting a line of railroad from
this city TO Glenville, and have a
connection from Glenville or
huntsville to the east, and the
consolidation and extension of
the two traction lines in which
these capitalists are interested.
"One of the party who was
seen by the Sentinel remarked
that there was nothing attached
to the visit except that it was
solely a trip of inspection of the
three properties in which the
capitalists are interested. the
Monongahela Traction Co., the
Kanawha Traction & Electric
Co., and the Charleston Traction
System, the latter having been
financed by Garrett & Co., the
Baltimore bankers. The inspec-
ton he said is being made with
a view to future improvements,
developments and extensions.
Another trip will be made here
later, he said, and at the time,
the trip will be continued through
to Charleston.
These statements are in a
way a confederation of the item
in the Sentinel of Wednesday,
that the capitalists had an option
on the property of the Little
kanawha Syndicate along the
Little Kanawha valley and that
if this is closed the plan is to ex-
tend the line of the Monongahela
Traction Co., to Chenille and to
have a steam line from Chenille
to this city, passing through a
territory rich in coal, timber and
other products, and thickly set
tied, which insures a safe invest
ment and one that appeals to
capitalists. The Little Kanawha
Syndicate, it is said, holds it's
property at approximately one
million dollars. but it is said the
capitalists believe that this is an
excessive valuation. The acuuir-
ing of the property may hinge
on considerable reduction in it's
valuation.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Remarkable Progress Made In United
States During Recent Years.

Remarkable Progress Made In United
States During Recent Years.
That remarkable progress has been
made in the building of good roads
throughout the United states during
the past few years IS proved by data
recently published I'm the official Good
Roads Year Book for 1915. 1t has been
found that more than $4,000 miles OF
surfaced roads have been constructed
during 1913 and 1914 and that during
the ten year period from 1901 to 1914
more than $4,000 miles have been com
pleted. That this progress has been
really amazing may be understood
from the fact that I'm 1904 there were
only 1886 600 miles Of surfaced roads OF
all types I'm the United States That the
movement is attaining momentum as It
goes is proved by the fact that while
the average mileage constructed per
annum during the past ten years IS
5000 miles. the total completed for
1914 exceeded $1,000 miles The report
shows that something like 10000 miles
OF highway have been completed with
the aid Of state funds. Of which over
$2OO.OOO.OOO have been expended The
state aid movement began in 1892 and
has therefore continued for twenty
two years. Only recently has It got
well under way, as the results accom-
plished for 1913 and 1914 comprise Il
total OF 10000 miles Of state aid high
ways completed. or I'm two years time
one-third OF the entire mileage con
structed with the aid OF state funds has
been completed.

forty-eight are without state highway

Moss Will Fellow Hamilton Plan

Congressman H. H. Moss ar
nOunced yesterday that at the
next session of Congress he
would introduce bill providing
that the government of the Unit
ed States pay the debt of some
thing more than twelve million
dollars which the Supreme Court
of the United States has decreed
that West Virginia owes to the
mater state. Mr.. Moss declares
that he will devote his whole
time at the next session of Con-
gress to the bill.
The Federal government
should pay the judgment" says
Judge Moss, the separation of
West Virginia from Virginia was
a war measure. 1t was necessa-
ry to help preserve the Union
during the Civil War. West Vir-
glnia or the western part of Vir-
GINA remained loyal to the
Union, and, being a border state,
was a potential factor in aiding
the northern soldiers. "
Sounds word for word as if it
one Of former Congressman John
M. Hamilton's speeches in favor
of the United States government
assuming the payment of the
Virginia debt, doesn't it? Then
let us recall that Congressman
Moss made one of his most bitter
attacks upon Mr.. Hamilton in his
campaign against the Calhoun
county man on the grounds that
Mr.. Hamilton had introduced and
was making much progress in
the house with q resolution which
provided that the government Of
the United States should assume
the payment of any amount
which the Supreme Court might
decree that West Virginia owed
TO the Old Dominion. Mr.. Moss
contended that West Virginia
would thus be recognizing the
validity of the Virginia debt.
Mr.. Hamilton's resolution did
not place West Virginia in the
light Of recognizing the Virginia
debt, but on the contrary, had it
been adopted by Congress would
Ihave placed the United States as
assuming any liability that the
ISupreme Court might have placed
upon West Virginia. Mr.. Ham
iiton's defeat by Mr.. Moss for
re election to Comp ress killed the

possibility Of the resolutions be-
ing adopted by Congress, and
long before Mr.. Moss's term ex-
pired the Supreme Court did
place the liability upon the state
of West Virginia. Mr.. Moss
now recognizes the worth Of the
Hamilton resolution and declares
that he will spend all of the next
session Of Congress in the inter-
ests of the bill. Surely a high
tribute to the works of the man
whom Mr.. Moss succeeded in
Congress as the representative
of the Fourth District. Sentinel.

Prepared by the United States depart
ment OF agricultural
For any community that is planning
the improvement of its roads there are
ten fundamental axioms which the
United States department OF agricul-
ture declares to be self evident
First.-That all who share in the
benefits of road improvement should
share proportionately In the burdens.
Second.-That the degree of improve
ment should be proportionate to the
traffic Importance of the road improved.
Third.-That the rate OF payment or
the rate Of accumulation of the sinking
fund on any public debt contracted for
road improvement should approximate
ly equal the deterioration OF the i'm
provement.
FOurth.-That road building and
maintenance comprise work requiring
special qualifications.
Fifth.-That responsibilities should
be definite as to persons.
Sixth.-That continuous employment
Is more conducive to efficient service
than intermittent and temporary EN-
ployment.
Seyenth.-That the specialists who
direct road work should be appointed
instead Of elected, and that they
should hold office during efficiency in
stead of for fixed term.
Eighth-That no road is wholly per.
manent and that 1t requires contln
