ENTHUSIASM over THE
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 23.-Petitions
are being received from all over the
state signed by automobilists asking
for legislation at this session of the
General Assembly along the plan for
building permanent system of hard
surfaced highways for South Carolina
decided upon January 8, 1919, at q
joint conference. Of the members of
the State Highway Commission and
the State Highway Campaign Com
mittee.
Blank petitions were sent by the
Campaign Committee to prominent
automobilists in every section of the
state and they were asked to ascer-
tain the sentiment of the owners of
machines in their respective sections
towards the proposed legislation. The
replies that are being received and
the numerously signed petitions would
indicate that the motorists are over
whelmingly in favor &C III proposed
plan.
The State Highway Campaign COM
mlttee was anxious to test the senti-
ment of the motorists before going
before the General Assembly with the
proposed plan because it wanted to
be IN position to acquaint the men,
bers of the legislature with the fact
that the legislation was desired by the
automobiists. Since only the auto
mobilists will be agected so far as
taxes are concerned, the committee
feels that if they desire the additional
tax to be placed upon them the legis-
lators and the people ought not to
object. In other words, as Mr.. R. G..
Rhett, Of Charleston, member of
the ro1,1noi~n crn,p, foo ,>,,t.. H.
autoists are asking the state merely
to lend them its credit for brief
time and they will build the perma-
nent roads and pay for it.
1t is probable that legislation will
be- introduced in both houses of the
General Assembly at once carrying
out the plan adopted on January 8.
This will provide for change in the
act creating the state highway COM
mission so as to make it consist of
ten members, one from each congress
sional district and the three senior
professors of civil engineering in the
state colleges and giving them adj
dltional powers the raising of the an
nual license tax beginning with 1920
on motor vehicles to 81 per horse
power for automobiles and motor
cycles and 50 per horsepower for
motor trucks and the license for deal
ers to $50 for each make of car
handled and to fix the license for
trailers at $40.
The highway commission will also
be instructed to investigate the cost
of the construction of such a system
of highways and to report to the next
oession of the Legislature what State
bonds would be necessary therefor,
after providing for proper mainte-
re of the said highway.
Provision will also be made for the
return to any county which constructs
any portion of the State Highway
System as laid out by the Commits

OAsA%t
Reports which come from the various
tobacco growing sections still contain
little promise of any decided break in
the existing deadlock between packers
and growers in regard to prices of the
1918 crop. Instead of any concerted
move on the part Of the farmers to
face the situation as it exists and get
down to solid earth, in the matter of
price demands, exactly the opposite at
titude is taken. In Wisconsin and in
Connecticut the organization fever has
become an epidemic, land is rapidly
spreading throughout Ohio and Penn
sylvania. With astonishing disregard
of all such practical considerations IS
supply and demand, the growers seem
determined to stick to their pursuit of
the enchanting mirage of war prices in
peace times. Somehow, they argue,
the dream must come true. What hap
pened, last year, they feel must again
happen. The Genie of war conditions
il no more, but the growers GO on rub
bing the lamp just the same.
The natural caution which the pack
ers are displaying in these uncertain
times is taken by the growers to be a
sign that there is a tacit understanding
among the packers to do no buying un-
til the growers meet their offers. Over
looking the simpler explanation that
the attitude of the packers is based
upon common sense business caution,
and recognition of the law of supply
and demand, the growers are scurrying
to the doubtful refuge OF price-main-
tanning organizations. Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, JAN %, 1919.
Although two Lancaster packers are
now in the field buying of the 1918 to-
baccO crop, it is not accepted here as
the start of general buying move
ment. William Levy has been buying
for some time, the rumors of the past
several weeks that packer was max
ing contracts with the growers on a
proposition giving them twelve cents
for wrappers or as high as fifteen cents
if the market went that high having
circled around his operations. But
some of Mr.. Levy's purchases have
been made at as low as ten cents a
pound. 1t is said that Mr.. Levy pro-
poses to pack two thousand cases.
After having had the field all to him.
self for several weeks, Mr.. Levy has
been joined during the past week by |.
H. Weaver, another prominent Lancas-
ter packer, whose buyers are operating
in southern Lancaster county. It is
reported that they are getting consid-
cradle tobacco at Is and 5 cents and
some as low as IL and cents. In York
county the Meads Tobacco Co. of Red
Lion and Mr.. Kaufman of New York
are also buying at IL and cents.
There is no use Specuiating what the
growers will eventually do as body
The crop will be sold some time, of
course, for there never was one grown
that was not sold. AS matter of fact,
when the growers find they cannot get
high prices they will sell, as individ-
uals, for what they can get. It is the
croppers who will sell first, because
these growers on halves or thirds need
money more than the farm owners do
Their tobacco represents seasons
labor, and they need money along
about this time to wipe out debts.
There are no indications as yet that

The buying of the 1918 tobacco crop
is proceeding slowly without any con-
certed movement or apparently with

possibly waiting to see how cheaply
growers are willing to dispose of their
holdings before increasing their pur-
chases. The following sample sales in
dicate the top prices that have been
paid of late:
Albert Hanson, LA at 25&15c.
Braaten Bros, 10a at 25&15c.
Albert Crandall, Ga at 25c st.
Chris Hagen, 4a at 25c st.
VIM. Tanner, 5a at 25&l0c.
Plenty of other sales have been made
at figures lower in the scale.
The reflections and. deductions made
in receiving the higher priced early
sales is likely to bring about nice
crop of law suits, some of which have
already got into the courts in the
northern growing sections. Much of
tobacco, however, is being examined
on the farms and satisfactory settle

The tobacco situation is apparently
at a complete standstill. We are un.
able to learn of any endeavor on part
of local buyers to pick up crops. The
bad roads have cut down delivery OF
crops, only those coming in which are
notified to do SO by the warehouse men.
The dealers claim that much of it is in
such poor condition that the work is
slow and unsatisfactory. Growers
maintain that the quality is average
and does not warrant cut prices. Some
have even taken their crops back home
and all evidence strong intention of
hanging onto their weed until the
demand shall shoot prices higher. Gen.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The organization of the State Tobac-
co Growers association was effected
by largely attended meeting of farm
ers held at Madison Feb. 1st ] N.
Tittimore, state president of the Equity
society, addressed the meeting, as we'll
as other speakers. The proposition of
sending representative to Europe to
arrange for an export market was also
discussed Officers elected are: Presi-
dent, j. Asleson, Pleasant Springs;
vice president, Christ Larsen, Rock
dale; secretary, John R. McComb,
Stoughton; treasurer, L. 0. Lien,
Christiana. These form the board of
directors The accociation will affiliate
with the American Society of Equity.
Bylaws and constitution of Dane
county locals were adopted with the
understanding that they be altered to
apply to state body. By this united
action the tobacco men hope to be able
to command a better price Another
advantage will be to obtain harvest
hands at reasonable prices. 1t was
voted that growers pool their tobacco
in the Equity warehouses at various
points in the state, though it may be
questioned whether all those present
considered themselves bound to this
agreement.

agreement.
1t would probably be the best thing
that could happen as a sort of a stable
izer to the market if the growers pack
ed about quarter of the present crop,
either upon their farms or in associa-
tion warehouses, for it is doubtful if
the dealers could handle so large crop
with the present facilities within the
usual lir'its of a sorting season. With
good proportion of the crop taken
care of by the growers, there would be
less chances for a panic later on to-
wards spring when the farmers who
had not disposed of their tobacco might
throw it on the market at any old price
that it would bring, which would be
bad condition to occur. It should be
borne in mind that the 1918 crop is the
largest one that was ever attempted to
be handled through the warehouses of
this State for binder purposes and even
il the buyers stand ready to take it
over there is another difficulty of Sc
curing help and facilities for packing
at the central points. The writer be-
lieves the growers are protecting their
interests by putting their tobacco in
shape to hold as long as necessary.
-
A more careful reading of the reso-
luton of Assemblyman Hanson passed
by the legislature calling upon the fed
eral trade commission to investigation
of the tobacco market situation reveals
the fact that it was rather mild re-
quest for information that would 'ad-
wise the producer of the true causes
of the present market conditions. If
it is simply information" that the
growers desire that could be supplied
them by subscr ption of any of the
half dozen tobacco trade papers with
a very little outlay. Even The Re-
porter which gives a summary of all
the markets each week were carefully
perused and the grower could bring his
mind into such state as to believe the
statements were truthful, there would
be no occasion to call upon the federal
trade commission for further informa-
tion. 1t should be borne in mind too,
that the federal trade commission is
already under suspicion that many of
the Investigations already undertaken
has nol been entirely fair but rather
having some political end in view.

city is authority for the statement that
the 1913 tobacco will begin to move as
soon as the farmers learn that the war
is over, and that the situation does not
justify the payment of any such prices
as they apparently have in mind. Ac-
