has written an article dealing with
the financing OF railroads, He said
In part.
THE financing of a railroad is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Commits
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but 1t Is most i'm.
portant problem, especially to sec
tons Of State where new railroads
are needed. The placing of securities
has been left entirely with the pro-
moter and owner Of railroads.

what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted TO receive and what bur

California and Roads.

ion and now the state is debat-
ing the question of a further eX-

same purpose The state is thor
iolghly imbued with the idea that
dividends come from yell built

willing to go the limit to make

Highway construction is a
mooted question in every state of
the union. The opinion is unan-
imous that good roads are need
ed and the difference of opinion
all centers on the method of pro-
cedme. 1t is a political issue OF
vast proportions and the greatest
danger is that the road funds be-

Democratic Speaking.

Commonwealth Attorney
John M. Waugh, who is a candi-
date for reelection, Attorney w.
D. O'Neal, of Louisa, who was
defeated for the nomination for
Circuit Judge of this district, and
D. B. Tyra, democratic nominee
for Representative from this, the
9lst Legislative district, spoke at
the court house here Monday in
the interest of the democratic
ticket. Considering the fact
that the farmers are very busy
and that the speaking had not
been very extensively advertised
a good crowd was present and
much enthusiasm manifested.
The speakers confined themselves
to a clean cut discussion of party
issues and studiously refrained
from utilization or abuse of the
republican party or its nominees.
They were logical and persuasive
and it is generally conceded
that much good to the party will
result from Mondays meeting.
What little dissention that may
have existed in the democratic
ranks just after the primary is
fast passing away. Morgan will
give her usual democratic major
ity this fall.

Some men run for Office be-

run to hold the party organiza-

chance to win.
But the only man | ever heard

Of a hope to win, is w. M. Crisp,

resentatlye from this district. rs

Mr.. Crisp wanted to run in the
democratic primary, but, either
because he did not know the law
or found it difficult to get sigma.

get his petition filed with the

against tuberculosis. These seals last
year helped TO support thousands OF
needy tuberculosis patients and To give
them a chance for life They provided
for many visiting nurses, whose hun
dreds of thousands Of visits brought
instruction and cheer to numerous pa
tients They helped maintain dispen-
saries I'm cores Of cities from the At
iantic to the Pacific, where thousands
OF consumptiye patients received free
treatment, aid and advice They pro-
vided the means to purchase millions
Of copies OF circulars, pamphlets and
other literature with which the public
had been educated about tuberculosis.
They have established and helped to
maintain more than 500 open air
schools for children who need open air
treatment. These are just a few of
the ways In which the $550,000 re-
ceiyed last year was expended. This
