SAVING THE ROADS.

In the columns OF a contemporary
II is noted that Wisconsin has en-
acted q law which, after July TO-
1920. win bar Abe sale Of narrow
tired wagons In that state. Nothing
less than three inches is 70 be per-
mitted on wagons intended Tor haul
inr heavy loads. The measure is
termed a traffic act, and 70 intended
10 conserve the surfaces OF highways
constructed in the Badger state.
The item referred TO recalls sug-
gestions frequently offered through
the columns OF The News that mar
row-tired wagons ought TO be--not
prohibited outright, perhaps - but
discouraged, as road conservation
measure in Tennessee. 1t has been
our opinion that the transition might
be gradually effected by the levy OF
sliding scale tar upon vehicles pro-
portioned in some measure upon the
damage they do to the roads BY
exempting those wagons having tires
over three inches wide, there would,
IN q few years, be no other kind In
use.
Building good roads 10 an ex-
fremely costly proceeding. 1t has
also been very wasteful in Tennes-
see, partly because we hadn't learned
the most approved methods, and
partly because we have utterly failed
10 take care Of the roads after con-
structing them. Earrow-tired wag-
ons are very destructive to dirt
roads. And we shall have dirt roads
for many years yet. The wide-tired
wagon conserves the road. Is there
anything unreasonable. therefore,
that road traffic be made to compen-
sRte. IN some measure and In some
discriminating way. for the destruc-
tton wrought We do not think so.
II 10 admitted that the motor car
fFaffic Is very injurious TO our COM
mon ebert roads, but TO their credit
~ u said. the motorists are willing
10 pay the bill. Moreover, they want
permanent roads built--suoh as Will
stand any sort of traffic. Automo-
biies are now contributing to fund
for that purpose. It In nothing more
MAN fair that other vehicles should
also be required OF contribute in pro-
portion 10 the injury which they
cause.
We have an idea that Tennessee
win. before long. follow the example |
u Wisconsin. and either forbid the
sale Of two-inch tired wagons or
require their owners TO help con-
struct roads for them and repair the
damage resulting from their use.
Such statute would not only be
equitable, but would prove econom-
ically beneficial 10 a high degree as

"FoR A PRECEDENT"

Remarks the Springfield Repub-
lican:
For the first time in the history
OF Alabama convictions have been
secured and sentences passed for
completely In lynching. The vic
tim was a white man but the case
will answer for a precedent"
We hold no brief for Alabama, but
we are glad to note that the land
of puritanism has discovered some
thing good coming out of Nazareth.
That the south has sinned griev-
ously in so long tolerating the lynch
ing evil, few will deny. But collec-
lively speaking. the provocation has
been great. Her circumstances are
neither known nor appreciated by
those who would so tenderly pluck
the mote out of her eye.
While freely confessing their sins,
southern people generally would pre-
fer that those without sin should do
most Of the stoning. They are, how
ever. bit callous to the hypocritical
criticism of those who never discover
any deviltry except in the territory
south of Mason and Dixon's line. The
paper quoted above Is usually fair,
but is at all times dubious of the
genuiness of southern civilization.

There was a good deal of COM
plant last spring over the bill pro-
posed in the legislature to tax per-
sonal property. Gov. Roberts reply,
and 1t was forcible, was that he was
tracking the constitution. The way
to make such tax system unlikely
is to change the constitution. On
Sept. 4 we get an opportunity to vote
a constitutional convention. 1t is the
third chance in the last few years,
and 1t is said that the third time is
the charm.
