ROAD TAX PLAN IN FRANCE
Larger Part Of Fund Levied on Rub
ber-Tired Traffic Goes for Es-
pense OF Administration.

Road taxes, as assessed in France,
go to the road building and repair
fund. but not all wheel taxes are ex-
pended on roads: the larger part OF
the fund OF 100000 francs q year
levied on rubber-tired traffic goes for
the expenses OF administration.
There are four direct taxes which
every Frenchman pays (besides I'M
numbered indirect taxes. as on salt.
matches. advertisement posters, the
alter tickets. railway tickets. checks.
and what not); the tar on landed
property, the tax on personal house
property. the tax on doors and win
dows and the tax on industrial and
commercial enterprises. In addition
there are Ave centimes added for the
benefit OF the road fund and an ad-
ditional three centimes levied by the
municipalities for the upkeep of city
streets. These diminutives. FIVE CEN
times being but one cent and three
centimes being but little more than
half a cent, are added to every franc

they furnish the millions which are
spent on roads OF France annually.
More than 100000 are spent each
year to maintain approximately 400.-
600 miles OF national. departmental
and communal highways throughout
the country.

UNRAvEL ROAD LEGISLATION
Joint Committee Working to Bring
About Simplicity, Efficiency and

To bring about revision OF state
road laws along lines that will insure
simplicity, efficient management, and,
where desirable. uniformity. Is tho
task undertaken by a special Joint
committee appointed at the third
American road congress and repre-
senting the American Bar association
and the American Highway associa-

political and technical difficulties OF
the undertaking are discussed In an
article prepared for the Engineering

OF the division OF road economics OF
the United States office Of public roads.
Between three and four million
words comprise existing road legisla-

CORN GROWING

Corn is capital. and when rightly
invested in food for man and beast,
returns greater dividends than most
any other farm crop.
Practically one-third OF the area
OF farm crops, and one-flfth OF tho
improved farm lands Of the United
states is devoted to corn. In many
parts Of the United states, a mans
standing in the community as n
farmer Is rated by his ability and
achievements in corn production.
II is the greatest and surest source
Of food on the farm. Increased pro-
duction Is easily secured by in
creasing the acreage or growing
more corn per acre. Growing
more per acre is the more economic,
when obtained by improved soil or
soil conditions, good seed, proper
fertilization and cultivation. The
greatest increase in yield must be
expected from improved soil con
diti0ns.
Don't forget the two boys, Iona
Fish, and Gilbert Elkin, who pro-
duced over 100 bushels OF corn pei
acre last year within one and one
half or two miles Of Berea.
We are proud OF these boys.
They are again on the roll for corn
growers this year. Their aim is 10
beat ii3 bushels this year.
Selection Of the Land
Ideal soil for corn Is well drained,
deep. loose loan, well supplied with
decayed organic matter TO hold
moisture and plant food. This soil
is seldom found. Corn is being
grown on a greater variety OF agri-
cultural soils than any other crop.
Many Of these soils in this country
are too poor 10 grow corn profita-
bly,. but should first be built up.
This building up cannot be perman-

OF commercial fertilizers alone, but

EMERGENCY TAX EXTENDED
House Settled tho Matter Yesterday
With Joint Resolution.


The house last night, by vote Of
205 to 1S9 passed the joint resolution
extending the emergency revenue tax
until December 81, 1916. The senate
is expected to take like action in a
day or two.
The law is expected by administra-
tion leaders to bring revenue into the
treasury at the rate of $S2,000,000 a
year.
The Republicans, voting solidly
five Progressives and five Democrats
Galloway, Texas; Hilliard and Keat-
ing, Colorado; Buchanan, Illinois, and
Wingo, Arkansas. Several proposed
amendments to shorten the period Of
extension were voted down.
Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina, in his first speech as ma
jority leader, told the house that un-
less the law was extended the treasury
would face a deficit Of more than $751;
100000 at the end Of the next fiscal
, year.
I'VE Democrats know that no tax
popular in time Of peace" he said,
but we would be unworthy OF the
record of the Democrats under the
administration and this congress If we
did not have the courage and patriot
ism to arrange sufficient revenues to
meet the governments absolute neces-
sites"
Mr.. Kitchin strongly defended the
present tariff law, declaring 1t was in
no respect responsible for the neces-
sity Of continuing the emergency rev.
enue law.
From the time the Underwood
bill went into effect until the opening
of the European war;" he said, we
raised S2O,000,O00 more than was
raised in the same interval under the
Payne-Aldrich act.
There is not a thoughtful man,
there is not q student Of revenue mat
ters who will be honest with himself
and make an investigation, who will
not come to the conclusion that If the
Payne-Aldrich act had been on the
statute books, we would have had to
raise many millions OF dollars more
than we have got to raise now and
that we would have had many million
dollars more Of deficit than we have
now"
Mr.. Kitchin gave many figures In
support Of his argument.
Minority Leader Mann urged that
extention for a shorter period was
preferable and former Speaker Cannon
suggested an issue Of Panama canal
bonds to meet the deficit
1t is expected that a general pro-
gramme Of revenue legislation which
may involve revision Of the emer-
gency tax law, will be worked out by
Democratic leaders soon after the
holiday recess, which probably will
begin Saturday.
The senate finance committee on
Yesterday authorized Chairman Sim
mons to report the house resolution
extending the emergency war tax.
Republican members Of the committee
sought to have it extended only until
June 80, 1916, but were outvoted.
They will try to amend it in the SEN
ate.
