Al PAVED ROAD FOR
EVERY TENNESSEE COUNTY

A paved road equal to the city's
best streets serving every county
seat and center of population in the
state, together with the maintenance
for all time to come, is what the au-
tomobile owners Of Tennessee are
asking the legislature to permit them
to present to the state out Of the saw
ing on gasoline, upkeep, etc, which
such state system Of highways
would give them In urging Tonnes
see to pass the bill which has been
introduced in both houses calling for
a bond issue of fifty million dollars
for the construction and maintenance
Of state system of permanent high
ways, automobile owners show that
an increase in their license fees to
S1.00 per horsepower for passenger
ears and $1.00 per horsepower plus
$500 per ton carriage capacity for
motor trucks, together with the mill
tax levy now collected for state aid
for roads, on the most conservative
estimate Of the number of cars in
Tennessee during the next 20 years,
will retire the bonds, pay the inter-
est and the expense Of the state high
way department, and leave surplus
in excess of S12,OO0,00O for mainte-
nance 1t is believed by many con-
sentative business men that the sur
plus will be three times this amount.
The automobile owners are insist
ing that comprehensive state sys-
tenn of permanent roads be built, as
they realize that the motor truck
has proven its economy and efficiency
for the short haul, and that motor
trucks will be on the highways in
rapidly increasing numbers hauling
food products from the farm to mar
ket and express and passengers from
town to town. The government is
entering extensively into the parcel
post motSr express business and in a
few years will substitute this SER
vice for rural free delivery. The war
has proven that macadam or any
thing less than a permanent type Of
road bed on the trunk line highways
will not withstand the present day
motor traffic.
The bill which has been introduced
and has the support Of the leading
members of both houses, provides
for business administration of the
highway department. The highway
commission will take over the main
tenance of highways built by the
state, enabling the counties to spend
their road funds on the construction
and maintenance of lateral roads
connecting with the state highways.
The legislation follows the model of
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Michigan,
which have voted similar bond issues,
and which is being copied by dozens
of the states of the Union, including
Georgia and South Carolina. Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana have
campaigns in preparation to follow
the lead of the other states.

The Tennessee legislature has late
ly passed an act making service as
election officers compulsory in the
future. Election commissioners have
been accustomed to appoint men as
officers, judges and clerks to hold
elections, never knowing whether the
men appointed would serve or not.
The new law makes service compul-
sorry, just as is~jury service, and will
serve to make the men appointed
serve at the several precincts.

Congregationalists Meet.

A we'll attended meeting of the Oxford
Association of Congregational Churches
was held with the South Paris church
Tuesday, with interesting sessions. The
speaker at the evening session was Mrs.
Ida Vose Woodbury. of Boston, who is
not stranger in South Paris. Mrs.
Woodbury. represents the American Mis-
sionary Association, and the central
thought of her address was that mis-
sionary work to-day is Americanization.
Information and interest was con-
tanned in the address of Rev. q. A.
Markley of West Paris in the afternoon,
on "The Inter-Church World Move
ment," and the discussion which fol-
lowed. Mr.. Msrkley set forth the move
ment as an enlargement of the former
interdenominational idea.
A specially interesting feature of the
meeting was the address by Rev. A.
Rata OF West Paris, the Finnish min
lister. This was delivered in Finnish,
and was interpreted sentence by SEN
tenee by Lauri Immonen. There was
also singing by male chorus OF Firms,
who gave some Gospel hymns, and then
sang the national hymn of Finland. Mr..
Immonen made the explanation that
they gave this last selection because Fin
land is now recognized as a republic.
He also expressed his thanks for the
assistance given the Firms in this section,
especially in their religious movements.
After-dinner speaking following the
supper in the vestry, with E. n. SWEET
of Norway as toastmaster, was an inno-
walton which was pleasantly received.
Alton c. Wheeler of South Paris was
elected moderator of the association,
and was continued as treasurer, and W.
81. Eastman of East Sumner clerk.
The meeting of the East Oxford Local
Union of Christian Endesvor on Wednes-
day was not so largely attended, but the
program was carried out with one or
two changes. A vote was passed to dis
band the East Oxford Union, and in its
place constitute two unions, one for this
central Oxford territory, and the other
for Rumford, Mexico, Dixfleld and other
towns in northeastern Oxford County.
