 But we must be careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Savage tribes live according to So- cialistic principles with their proper ty in common. They don't rise to civ ilization until they are willing to en- courage individual initiative.

 The able business executive pays his way, if he is honest. A good manager can double the production of a loosely run plant It is a busi- ness proposition to let him keep his small proportion of the profits, even if it does make him wealthy. How ever, he can afford to pay heavily to- ward taxes, and should give literally to all philanthropies.
 A heavy tax on wealth is legitimate, provided ot does not check business enterprise, and discourage men of superior ability from exercising those powers. But the public should see that there Is a limit, beyond which taxes would not be profitable to the community.

necticut Good Roads Association at this time? The directors met, en- dOrsed Commissioner Bennett and his administration, and urged that the governor reappoint him. The as- sociation started g. publicity cam paign that resulted in the receipt by Governor Holcomb of a thousand or more letters from the most promi nent men of the state, urging the re- appointment of Commissioner Ben nett. Undoubtedly the governor would have reappointed Commissioner Bennett anyway, but the association stood for decency and honesty, and won the undying hate of the politi- clans whose schemes were killed. Governor Holcomb turned the politi- clans down f1atly and reappointed Commissioner Bennett.
 These politicians, working through a newspaper that has always been their special organ, have attacked us again. They have never forgiven us and never will.

AUSTRIANS CALM AFTER STUDYING
 NOTE FROM U. S.

Vienna, Feb. T, via London, Feb. 9-Oelayed)- public and press accustomed to new sensations be- yond the saturation point, may be considered today to have completely relapsed into the apathetic routine which has resulted from months of warfare. That diplomatic relations have been broken off between the United States and Germany has be- come one of the many war facts which met with stoical resignation and with renewed expressions of the belief that the monarchy will finally emerge from it's troubles with flying co1ors. 7 The press occupied itself today largely with the possible ac- ton of European neutrals. The fact that some of these nations have bor- ders contiguous to the Central pow CTS is referred to cautiously, al- though Rumania's fate is alluded to here and there, as in the Neue F'reie Presse, hitherto the leading peace ad- vocate in the monarchy.
 President Wilson gets scant notice and what comment there is is decid- edly mild. Most editorial articles, among them those of the F'remden- blatt, the Tageblatt, the Zeitu, the PerBster Lloyd and the Pest "irlap say that the president is expressing the hope that European neutrals would also sever relations, proved that he was not informed on the politics and was applying to Europe a doctrine similar to that Of the Monroe, which was wholly inapplica- ble. Some writers opine that the president hoped to frighten the Gen. tral powers into a submissive attitude by causing tue European neutrals al- so to break relations and that this in effect had been uppermost in his mind when he decided to give Count von Bernstorff his passports.
 This is the first day in almost three weeks that no snow has fallen. The signs indicate, however, that the clear weather will end soon, in which event the present poor traffic facilities will cease altogether and the bringing of food and fuel into the city will be- come a serious problem. There is much suffering among the poor as result of the cold spell. There is deep snow everywhere and the fuel supply is at low ebb.

ATTACKS ON THE CONN.

been preaching this doctrine. Those who originated this latest assault upon the integrity of the directors of the association would have the public believe that out plan "has been discov- cred just in time" to prevent a raid on the state treasury. By means of some 10000 circulars sent through the mails to individuals, by means of talks on highways given by our officers, be- fore business mems organizations and automobile clubs and by means of the newspapers, we have obtained all pos sible publicity.
 welcome the publicity which has been given us during the last few weeks. Our members have not been misled by these attacks and we are glad to say our dues are coming in more rapidly this year, since this att tack was started, than ever before. Some of our members have written us stating that we must be doing efficient work if we have gotten ourselves so disliked by these politicians.
 The attacks were made in Hart ford morning paper, a New Haven evening paper, and a Bridgeport paper. The idea, apparently, was to get all the other papers of the state to follow suit. Unfortunately for this plan the other papers have refused to allow their columns to be used to serve the personal aims of politicians who would feather their nests at the expense of the state.
 The text for the attack was a cir cular letter seeking contributions which we sent to all pavings concerns and also to all road material concerns and automobile manufacturers doing business in the East. We explained frankly that a contribution would not aid a concern contributing, in any di- rect manner. That the contribution would be applied solely to publicity work, to keep the highway question alive in the minds of the public. That the only possible benefit to any con- cern contributing would be the possi- ble creation of market for road ma- terials or for pavement in Connecti- cut. We further assured them that failure to contribute would in no man. ner be harmful to their interests. Were the space available we would re- print the letter entire. Anyone desir- ing copy of this letter will receive
 
 Haven.
 Taking this letter as a text, by falsehoods constructed out Of whole cloth, this Hartford paper as the leader of this publicity attack, pulp ished story that our association was out~to obtain a "slush fund.- of three or four million dollars, and that we proposed raiding the state treasury. The utter idiocy of this statement ap- parently did not appeal to those mak- ing it. Allowing a net 10 per cent. profit on all contracts entered into, if such proposition were put through the state of Connecticut would have to appropriate and spend on the high ways from thirty to forty million dol lars before the fictitious parties whs were supposed to be giving this sum could get their money back Those attacking us are indeed hard put for excuses for the assault, when they depend on a statement of that char acter.
 This particular attack upon our as- sociation is only the beginning. These politicians knows they cannot gain control of the highways department without terrific storm of protest and

(New England Roads.)

During the past few weeks cer- tain coterie of politicians, who Tn the past have attempted unsuccessfully 10 gain control of the highway depart mentNof the state, have made VICIOUS and fnendacious assault upon Ihe | Connecticut Good Roads Association, and upon the integrity and honesty or purpose of it's officers and directors. A glance at the list of directors will show that this is an assault upon some 40 of the leading men of our state.
 A vicious and .unwarranted assault of this character must, of necessity, have some u1terior inspiration. It IS seldom that a newspaper will start campaign of this kind unless 1t Is moved thereto by some reason, even though the reason be ignoble.
 The reason which has inspired the present assault is that this same ring of politicians we have mentioned has not yet abandoned it's hope of obtain ing control of the state highway de- partment, through the appointment of one of its henchmen as highway commissioner. Highway Commissioner Bennett has yet two years to serve but men who are fighting for the chance 'os handling millions of dollars will plan ahead for two years and for more than two years.
 How many people in the state real ize that the highway commissioner controls millions of dollars. He, in accordance with the dictates of his conscience and best Judgment, or if he is not honest, in accordance with the dictation of his political boss, dis poses of contracts for millions of dol- lars. There is no appeal from his de- cfsion. He can be removed, it is true, for dishonesty or incompetency. eB- fore proof of dishonesty or incompe- tency can be obtained, the millions of money in his charge will have been passed over to paving concerns with ak.pull." and the only satisfaction the taxpayers will have is to see him re- moved.
 The state now has in Highway Com missioner Bennett, one of the best, if not the best, highway commissioner in the United States. His honesty, his competency, are beyond question. His reputation extends not only through out our own state but throughout all the states of the Union where high way work is being done.
 We take the position and take it openly, that our state, when it has at the head of it's highway department a man like MT. Bennett should spend all available funds, and even mortgage the future for two or three years for highway building. We know the money will be honestly spent. For each dollar paid the state will receive dollars worth of highway pave ment. We know the best engineering Judgment will be used in the selection of that pavement. Every mile of highway that is built under an honest, competent man leave just so much less territory for a possible dishonest or incompetent commissioner who may hold office in the future.
 We believe the legislature at this session should provide, either through bond issue, with a sinking fund, or through direct taxation, or by com-- bination of both methods, a fund of at least four million dollars for High way Commissioner Bennett to spend during the next two years.
 For the last four years we have
