Baker Gives Dissenting View.
In disagreeing with this feature of
the report, Mr.. Baker said:
Army and navy, aviators are spe-
cialists in the art; both the airplanes
and the pilots needed are of differ
ent type from those needed in civilian
undertakings. A separation of the air
service from the army or the navy
would require coordination of their
activities in time of war, whereas eff
fectiveness in military operation rests
upon the concentration and singleness
of authority, command and purpose"
The report of the mission, which is
divided into three parts, dealing with
general organization, commercial de-
velopment and technical development,
is based on studies made in England,
France and Italy i'll.

MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS
Too Much Money Spent for construc-
tion and Too Little for Proper
Maintenance.

In many a county I'm the South the
condition OF the roads is the same as
those which the editor Of the Clinton
Democrat describes as existing In his
county. He says:
''We can't survive the impression
that he have wasted lot OF money !;
that we have built lot of roads that
have gone back to their former condi-
ton, from neglect; that we have bur-
dened our posterity with a debt that
has proved TO be a rather bad invest
ment. We have burdened our children
with the bonds that win be mighty
hard TO pay, and we, will have to an
swer for great deal. If for their $780,
600 we leave them a legacy of mud
holes, heritage of sand and water
One Of the main defects in our present
program, we think, is the fact that we
are spending all of our money on con-
struction and are not taking proper
thought for the maintenance OF the
-roads"-The Progressive Farmer.
