Here is a good way to have
good roads at a very small ex'
pense. And the suggestion is
made to the county commits
sioners. Put the county prisoners
to work on the roads. Make
them work enough to pay the
fine rnd costs assessed after con-
viction. Then let them work
enough more to pay for their
keep. Then when they are
turned loose on society again,
they do NOT owe society anything.
If this plan is followed there will
not be so many prisoners. Too
many fellows break into jail for
no other reason than to have q
bed and somuthing to eat in bad
seasons. Have the commissioners
the necessary nerve to do this?

FREE PORTS ?
BUILDERS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRlATIoNS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate. and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed In conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to
discussion of our ports for the pro.
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $1,000,
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
toll of approximately s50,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff.
fectively secured.

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
II our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh Of a horse. the
bark of dog or the bray of donkey,
1t would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows ana who fash swords
dripping in the blood of industry IN.
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by a clash OF personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the ploT
and that their quarrels must be sethoc
in the back alleys OF civilization.
