 The issuance of approximately 30,000,000 of serial bonds, the pro- ceeds to be used in the construction of durable roads connecting the county seats of the various counties and the principal towns on uni form plan with reference to the den- sity of traffic. The bonds are to be issued from time to time as the con struction progresses and construc- tion is to be begun simultaneously lin different parts of the state.
 The highway department and the Advisory Board as now constituted or as may be enlarged, with such powers as the legislature may see fit to confer, would be authorized to contract with Improvement Districts where roads forming part of the State System are constructed or in process of construction. The state would pay to such districts not ex- ceeding two-thirds of the valuation of the roads, the funds to be used by the districts either in retiring their bonds or to be used in the con struction of an improved type of sur face.
 Where the roads have not been constructed the highway department and advisory board would be author ized to enter into contracts where by the improvement districts would contribute toward the cost of the roads adopted as a part of the state system not less than one third of the cost. Under this plan the inn provement district would be utilized in constructing the roads, but would have to pay approximately one third of the cost of the roads instead of 100 per cent.
 The license fees on motor vehic- les is to be increased so as to pro- duce an average of $25 per car or truck, the fee to be graded accord ing to horse power on automobiles, and on trucks according to horse power and tonnage capacity. One fifth of the license fee is to be set aside as a separate fund for the per manent maintenance of the state roads, to be expended by the state highway commission or under a pa- trol system, subject to the approval of the county courts and to be ap- portioned according to the mileage and quality of roads built in each county. Four-ffths, or approximate Iy $20 of the fee for each vehicle is to be set aside as sinking fund for paying the interest and retiring the bonds as they fall due.
 The interest and principal of the bonds as they mature would be paid first, out of the proportion of the license fees set aside for the retire ment of the bonds, and, as guar anty, that interest and principal would be promptly met, it is to be proposed that the legislature levy a direct tax for such an amount as may be necessary to meet gay de-

The Jewish Relief

Columbia May S0.-Col August
kchn State chairman Of the cam

ever 100000 in South Carolina in
three days gave out the following
statement:
When the campaign for the Jew
ish relief fund was undertaken there
were some misgivings as to the will
ingness Of South Carolina to contrib
Ute over 100000 tor the relief Of
sufferers in distant Poland. Galicia
and other countries. The fact that l.
as State chairman. have been able to
make the first payment on account OF
the subscriptions in the aggregate Of
100000. more than the total amount
allotted to the State. is the very high
est testimonial to the charity and gen
2rosity Of the good people of this
state. To my mind the most crafty
iYs feature Of the whole campaign
has been the utter willingness and
hearty response of our Christian
friends in South Carolina and the
striking evidence that when real char
ity is involved there is no denomlna-
''The campaign has also shown that
wherever people were properly ap-
preached that they contributed will
ingly and gene: ously. and the only
counties where the quotas were not
raised were those in which the cam
saign workers were not fully organ
::ed and the people not given the op-
oortl1nit-. of contributing
