HOW TO GET MORE FOR
MONEY SPENT ON ROADS

Tennessee counties have sre ent
whole lot of money In the last
few years to build good roads.
The same thing has been done by
counties and townships in other
states. Much of this money has
been obtained by the issue of
long time bonds and some coun-
ties have issued bonds to such
an extent as to necessitate con-
siderable Increase in the rate of
taxation.
We do not object to this. We
believe that good roads are worth
all they cost and a great deal
more. We have never known
county to impair its credit or
impoverish its people by invest
ing money in better roads. 1t
would be the part of wisdom for
the states and the counties to
spend much more ON road i'm
provement.
In spending money for any
purpose however good business
sense requires that the full val
ue of the money be obtained
There is no more sense in vast
ing money on the roads than in
casting it any where else. A lot
of the money spent for roads
has been wasted, too. We
could point out more than one
county that has failed to get
anything like the roads it shOull
have had for the money expend-
ed, and we could point out quite
a number in which all the money
available has been.spent at once
to build roads and then these
roads allowed to wear out in a
few years for lack of sufficient
funds to keep them in repair.
Such policy is the very esse-
nee of stupidity. 1t is foolish to
build good roads anywhere and
make no provision to keep them
good. A lot Of the professional
good road orators are fond Of
talking about permanent roads"
There is no such thing. No
matter what kind Of road may
be built it will not stay good nn-
less constantly looked after.
Whenever bonds are issued or
money appropriated to build
roads, provision should be made
for tund TO keep them in repair
In fact we shall never have good :
roads fo- the whole country nm
til we change our policy and the
ory of road maintenance. AS
long as we depend on one or two
workings year to keep the
roads in shape. they will be In
poor shape: and we cannot hop e
to secure money sufficient %
make all the roads good to stai I
with. The roads of lesser impo r
tance must be made good b.
gradual Improvement. The onl,
way this can be accomplished
the only way permantly and
steadily to improve the roads OIL
which much money cannot be
spent, is to devise system
which will place each mile OF
road in charge of some person
who shall be responsible for It's
upkeep and who shsll have the
means and the authority to re,
pair all damages at once to work
the road whenever work is need
ed: in short, to keep it in good
condition. Our old system for
forced labor on the roads is
tglaring injustice and hopeless
failure. The issuance of bonds
to build roads has resulted in the
waste of a lot of money. Two re
forms in road management are
urgently needed in this and
most other states. The first is
the provision we have just mem
toned for an elfectiqe system of
road upkeep the second is the
creation of competent state de-
partment which shall have au-

London. June Is (3:59 Il. m.)-The
whole brunt of the first onslaught on
Lutsk fell on two divisions. OF which
only sorry remnants survived, ac-
cording to Austrian prisoners, says a
Reuters Petrograd dispatch. After
the destruction of these divisions the
Russians poured through the Austrian
lines, menacing the rear Of Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand's fourth army. This
necessitated the precipitate evacuation
of the whole Lutsk region.
The day on which General Brusl-
lofts movement began, has the dis
patch, chanced to be the sixtieth birth
day OF Archduke Frederick, the COM
mander-i r-in-chief of the Austrian army,
who came to Archduke Ferdinand's s
staff headquarters at Lutsk in order
to celebrate the occasion with the
army. Lutsk was gaily beflagged
with the Austrian and Hungarian col
ors and there were illuminations in
the evening. Archduke Frederick ex-
tolled the valOr and prowess of the
soldiers, whom he eXhorted to fresh
victories, which he declared would
soon bring them to long and happy
peace.
Both archdukes," continues the
dispatch, were among the gayest Of
the gay, sublimely unconscious of the
imminent catastrophe. When Freder
