LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Good Roads Bond Election

To the Editor of The Age-Herafd:
Much more is involved in the bond Is
sue movement for good roads tnan ls'
commonly understood to be. rms means
so much for the future prosperity OF the
state that it is patriotic duty OF every
one interested to enlist the interest OF his
neighbor in the same way. No one can
afford to take it for granted that it is a
foregone conclusion that the election Tor
bonds will be an undoubted success. Our
chief danger hes just at this point Two
difficulties are to be met and overcome
opposition and indifference. II one sup
poses that there is not opposition let MIN
mingle for week with the people Of the
country. We have failed in other bond
elections, when we could conceive OF no
reasonable objection on the part OF the
voters The counties of the state have
been formally organized, but no organi-
zaon operates itself. There is work to
be done, and plenty of it, il we are to
succeed. The issue must be made a vital
one in every community. Failure at the
polls on February is will set the state
back for many years to come.
There are objections to be met in the
interior, and much apathy to be overcome.
The issue should be made perfectly plain
to the voters, and the unspeakable inn
portance attaching to it should be en-
phasized. With the election just 60 days
off no time is to be lost. We may theo-
rize as much as we may please as to why
the election should be overwhelmingly
successful. but theories don't carry cleo
tons. There is plenty Of work to be
done, as will be found by going among
the people of the country.
Success will set us forward in way
that cannot be done by any other thing
than good roads. The interior prosperity
of England for many centuries is due
! more to the roads built by the Romans
than any other agency. not few of
which Roman roads furnish the roadbeds
of the internal railway lines. Likewise
in France. the prosperity of which is due
to the excellent road system of the first
Napoleon. The chief drawback of Ala
bama today is its miserable road system.
We have now an opportunity of getting
the highest class road system without a
cent of taxation, all of which it<would
seem necessary only to be understood
by the voters. and the work is done
| There is so much involved, so much to
be done, and the results are SO far reach
ing no effort to succeed should be UNI
exercised from this time forth till Feb

SPANIARDS WANT TO
COME TO AMERICA

Madrid, November 27.-Large num-
bers Hof agricultural workers from all
parts of Spain are awaiting at Ferrol
America, both North and South. This is
one of the results of the new social
conditions brought about in Spain by
the war and increased wages.
For years the Spanish farmer had paid
his help about three pesetas NORMALLY ~
cents daily during the harvest AS this
was just about sufficient for the ein-
pfoye to subsist upon, the farmer also
allowed his men and women sufficient to
buy food during the winter. This amount
was decided by the farmer himself, and
varied in proportion to the generosity OF
the giver.
Last year the farm hands, like almost
every other class of labor in Spain, or
ganized union with the result that
wages during the harvest increased from
the century old pesetas daily to from lo
to % pesetas daily. Therefore, when the
winter. came on and there was no work,
the farmer, instead of following the OLD
convention Of handing out doles to ms
earning good wages they should save SUI
feient to keep themselves during the
winter.
Those who had saved, or at fast pro-
portion of them, decided to move to some
country where money could be earned tne
year around.
