Before another President a
election it is more than likel,
that an Amendment to the Con
stitution OF the United States
authorizing and requiring that
the President be elected by a di
rect vote of the people, will
be enacted. This result, one,
accomplished, much OF thu
DR. sent machinery for the
election of President would be
done away with. There would
be no longer need for Electors
aud Electoral college; but TIL
q tie authorities could canvass
the votes and return them to the
Secretary of State at Washing
ton, who could in turn lay then.
before Congress to declare the
FIJI al result. This mode OF pro
cedure might seem to be central
izing our Republican institutions
TO some extent, but no more so
than has already been done In
the election of United States
Senators.

One among the first things
that the coming Legislator
should do is to pass a law di
verting the courtv's part of the
automobile tax to public good
roads building. A man who
owns and rides in an automobil.
wants a good road to ride over
and the tax-money he pays or
his machine should be spent. for
his own comfort, in part al
least. Automobile owners would
not complain at paying a license
tax on their machines If it wer,
spent in road making.

1t is announced from the stat'
capital that the recently defeat
ed Amendment No. IL, with Ger
tain amendments, will again be
initiated by petitions. Why not
GO before the Legislature with
this measure and get it submit
ted through that channel? AL
of its provisions could be care
fully considered by that body.
and with its endorsement il
would be more likely to pass at
the next election. Many voters
are naturally prejudieed againsr
initiated measures.

There is only one drawback to
Drew eounty's prosperity and
that is the public roads; and
while these are not altogether
bad, they like a great deal of be
ing good And, herein, we have
a defect t hat could be remedied,
a trouble that could be eradicat
led. 1t would cost something to
do SO, but the money we might
expend in this direction would
soon be returned in time-saving
and in lesslning the wear and
tear of wagons, buggies, etc :,
and in Tightening the loads of
teams. With a first class road,
in first-class condition, YOU could
haul four bales of cotton, with a
pair of mules ten miles in two
hours. whereas with q bad road,
it would take four mules four
hours to haul two bales.
Hence, here is your time-saver,
and as time is considered money
or worth money, you would
soon be recompensed or compen-
stated for every dollar paid out
for your good roads. Under
what is known as the Alexander
law, you can get ust such
road as YOU desire, and a long
time in which to pay for It. OF
course it might be ineonyenient
or even inexpedient for every
community to take advantage
of this law and build first class
roads, but that fact should not
deter other communities from
doing so. There should be two
great highways leading across
the county, one from East to
West and one from North to
South; and we venture the asser.
ton that if such roads were
built that the people living along
them would never regret the tax
which was required to build
them; and If anyone ever should,
it would be an easy matter to
sell out to some more progress
I've and enterprising man, who
wished to enjoy few of life's
benefits and comforts while still
in this world The good roads
movement is taking hold in
many counties, but down here
We seem determined to move a
long in the same old muddy ruts
and curse our teams and our
luck. Next to churches and
schools good roads are the great
est agencies of civilization. They
bring people closer together, put
the producer and consumer in
close and easy touch with one
another. Every sane man must
acknowledge the necessity for
good roads; then why not have
them? 1t will be about the best
Investment that YOU ever made.

GREAT ADJUSTMENT
 IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Entire Trade Now Paying Highest
 Level Of Wages

New York. Jan. 13-The Iron Age says today: The strikes and riots ot Youngstown iron and steel plants were a startling development of the opening week of the new year: Tn showing the explosive possibilities of the labor situation, these events have confirmed fears for some time ex- pressed in the steel trade.
 The steel corporations announce ment of general wage advance, to take effect February 1, amounting 10 more than 10 per cent. for common labor, was followed by similar ad- vances by independent companies, these for the most part being made effective Jan. 1. Merchant fast fur naces took like action, so that within a few days practically the entire in dustry stepped up to the highest lev el of wages it has ever paid.
 Next Great Adjustment.
 The next great adjustment will be that in coal mining. which has never been of more importance to the iron trade than in this year of expected strain on every link in the chain of production and transportation.
 Latest advices indicate the accept ance of the adjustment offered at Youngstown and the resumption of work by the end of the week at the nine blast furnaces and the steel orks involved The stopping of coke ship ment to these plants caused {, weak enlng in the price of spot coke D as low as $2.50. Shipments of steel making pig iron from merchant fur naces were also held up. causing a decline of 25c in basic iron, or to $17.75 at furnace, while Besse1ner iron receded soc or to $2O.5O at furnace.
 But for inability to arrange ex- ports, Bessemer pig iron would be higher, as foreign inquiry is constant ly coming up.
 December Business Large.
 The steel corporations December business as gagged by the reported in- crease of 616,O00 tons was relatively larger than independent companies have been indicating At 7,SOO,OO tons, thrilled orders are the largest since early 1913, and represent an increase of 4,OO0OOO tons in 1915 Usually quiet in the first half cf January. the domestic steel trade has shown this month that price advances have not reached their limit and that export demand will be a factor in es. tahlishing higher levels. At Pitts burgh contracts amounting to 10000 tons of barb wire for war .lse are Of fered, but mills there cannot make the deliveries asked. In bars for shells, also.
