Concerning the Road Map

When the County Highway commission completed the map of the roads proposed be built with the proceeds of the s4 900 issues there expressions of dissatisfaction. Some people complained because paved roads had been located along their holdings; because in some localities the paved roads seemed parallel another too closely Though the roads had been laid out to the greatest number of people thought that the commission in making locations had been moved by self interest for self interest frequently moving factor. Though controversy there may have been with respect to this past, since the map of the commission was so overwhelmingly accepted, statement made incidentally by Commissioner Hurley yesterday morning is only without interest but is surprising.
 Though interested in the ownership of than 400 of land in the valley of it will be any road laid out by the commission This land, not all in tract lies in the thickly settled part of the valley yet happens that of it so situated as benefit from abutment upon any proposed paved road
 We do not suppose there is any other land of equal in the central part of the valley map. This should be a sufficient refutaton of any suspicion that the commissioners allowed themselves to be swayed by sef-interest by an improper in- terest in other individuals

Why the French Lost Confidence

The democratic administration should take notice of the msadventure of the French government which has failed receive of confidence. Confidence shattered there by the prevalence of economic conditions which hept up the high cost of living. Everywhere except in France and the United States the cost is lowering. Here it is going higher and higher.
 We stood for it during the because be- ieved the the of it. But the is and prices keep soaring largely because of the maintenance by the administration conditions
 The democratic party if it fails to receive vote of cofidence next year must go down. determining factor will be the of living not theories and dreams
 We do not know yet what issues the politicians may cook up but there is issue ready-the high cost of living and unless it is abated before November of year the democratic party will suffer abate ment

A Badly Manaoed Case

Relate My Adventures to My Admir-
 ina Family

The next scene in my life was a grand transformation Its mechanism is unimportant but the act itself re- minded me of some long forgotten fairy tale Mother Lorimer took the part of the fairy sod-mother and whisked me, the silly little goose girl. away to her splendid mansion, and there installed me like a princess
 But-like a little princess whose fine wardrobe hadn't been delivered. For I was back in the uniform of the messenger girl, and indeed it had been as hard to obtain as a royal robe. It had finally been procured by Tommy through the magic of a letter from MT. Lorimer to the manager of the messenger service. And 1 had on my old bobbed wig and my coat of tan.
 The rest of the fairy tale was quite out of the ordinary. The love parts were all reversed. The prince-not the | sleeping beauty-was to be awakened from his lethargy and I felt more | ignorant and helpless than any goose | girl every time I thought of my awful i esponsibilit y-and that was about all 1 of the time.
 Much more than my personal hap- l piness was staAed on my new adven- ture. The good cid king and the grac . lous queen would be forever wretched in spite of their vast riches. f I failed 10 touch the slumbering soul of their Eeir with the magic wand of my love.
 The Lorimers had whirled me home in Bobs absence. He had gore down to camp-the army medical men re- quired him to report to them regularly Miss Miller was visiting her mother for a few days.
 Thus Daddy and Mother and Chrys had ample leisure to hear the recita of my many adventures. Sometimes we wept together, as when I detailed my bitter share in sending EIolae Nanderlyn to her dreadful ceath
 And sometimes we laughed together as when I described my ridiculous flight from the asylum in woode- box on Tommy's grocery truck. Anc Tommy laughed loudest-for Tommy was still with us. If his laugh was { little too loud, l at least, understood It was the high note of tortured ner-e. but of course the family couldn guess what kind of emotion was tor. turing Tommy.
 It did rather stun me to conside that poor Tommy had most acutel, the very feelings which poor Bol lacked altogether, and which we hat all put our heads together to restor to him. And Tommy wasn't happy a all, in his capacity for loving! Ant neither was Bob, without it.!
 No matter at what hard cost t himself, Tommy had to be party t our plans for Bob. He was one of tn group who knew that I had neve died. Daddy, mother and Chrys wer the others. And how ever 1 was :.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The Cement Plant
tor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republlcan.
 Sir: Apropos of the interest now being taken in the cement industry in the valley, 1 desire to give little in side history of the present plant To- cated just east of Phoenix and some of the reasons it is not in operation at the present time.
 First, I want to say it was not put out of business by the cement trust Although they did keep it from start ing after it had closed down, for the purpose of installing the ball mill which had been in use in the Roosevelt plant, in the place of a "pulverizer" which had been installed in the local plant and had proven itself unable to reduce sufficient limestone to make 400 barrels of cement per day. The ball [ mill has capacity of about 800 bar rels per day.
 The board had determined they would not start up again without about 1 $30000 in the treasury as working capital. having no fears that they would not be able to get it since they had made cement for six months and had saved the valley a vast amount of money and had produced a quality of cement that was second to none i The plant was closed down and the | changes were well under way when our money ran out And here is where the sinister hand of the cement trust came in. The business interests of the valley were blind to the value of a cement mill in the valley, although we showed them in facts and figures where the valley had saved S6O,00C during the six months we were oper- ating, yet there were none, collectively or individually who were public spir- ited enough to either help with money or give the encouragement necessary to get either local or outside money in the enterprise. Several times the company had the money lined up bu always some sinister influence killed it's realization. We charged it to tht cement trust and the influence they had over local men of prominence whom they used to keep the plan from starting.
 The plant is not superanuated anC has been declared by two sets of ex perts as being in remarkably goot condition. And after a careful in vestigation, one set of experts gav as their written opinion, that the plan completed as first designed to a capac ity of 400 barrels per day and iron it's present material, would manufac ture cement at not more than $40 De barrel, even at the present high price of material and wages The other Mir Duryea, the man that installed tn plant at Roosevelt states by increas ing the plant to 500 barrels capacity which can be done at an expenditur of S25000. he can manufacture ce ment for s1.S3 per barrel, looping of over $2 per barrel from the presen price of cement. This would mean con siderably more good roads in the ex penditure of s4,000.000, to say nothin of the saving to all other users of ce ment. Would keep all the money be
 sides for the cost of the cement her , in the valley. There is no good reaso why the Water Users who are tn } road users of the valley, should nc own and run the plant in the interes ) Of the county.
 , The council should call the electio to recommend the amendment to th

articles of association and the voters should vote the amendment, in order that this big saving to the valley could be realized.
 Sincerely
 F. T. POMEROY. Editors Note MT. Pomeroy was one of the incorporators of the company, and secretary and treasurer of the or ganization when the plant was bought from the government and has been a director of the company through its reorganization and until the time of the sale of the plant a short time ago.

VIOLENCE; IS NOT
 ALL ON ONE SIDE
Speaker at New Haven Commun- ity Forum Makes Deep I'm
 pression on Labor Men.

One of the delegates to the New Ha- ven Trades Council at its meeting Thursday evening called attention to the address delivered by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes before the Community Forum, Sunday evening, on "The Folly of Violence" The delegate spoke most enthusiastically of the address and said that if this speaker ever visited New Haven again every labor man should make 1t a point to hear him. Other delegates also expressed appreciation of the address in question.
 Among other things the Rev. MT. Holmes said: --.
 Labor that uses the torch and bomb Is using violence no more than capital that uses the bayonet and bullet. Vio- lence IS the weapon of the autocrat. If people you like use violence 1t is all right, but if those you don't like use violence it is different. Both have the same motive. We must sweep away all misconception. Violence in either case is a crime"
 Specifically applied to industry" ]" Dr. Holmes said, "that for capital there was no way out of the labor difficulty by violence. The conception is obtained from the newspapers that only the la boring man resorts to violence. Robert Hunter wrote in 1913 that 1t was the poor and weak who resorted to arson. violence and sabotage, but the employ CT, on the other hand, used the law with the black jack and bull pen. For the direct action of the misguided I have no sympathy, but labor has no mon opoly of violence i'll industrial war"

Wild Man Tanner From the West
 Comes in for Hot Denunciation at Meeting of New Haven ] Trades Council Because of His : Apparent Intention to Tar Trade Unionism and Bolshe- :, vism With the Same Stick.

Ole Hanson, $500 night settler of industrial unrest and tentative candl- date for president of the Unlted States is not going to get many labor votes if he ever does realize his reported am bition to run for president on the em- ployers' ticket-not If the expressions heard at the meeting of the New Haven Trades Council, Thursday evening, sup ply any indication of labor's love and affection for the man who insists upon placing bo1shevism and trade un1onism iri the same category of condemnat1on.'
 As was reported in The Connecticut Labor Press Ole's address before the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce during its convention in New Haven recently did not appeal particularly to the appreciation of organized labor be cause of his evident desire to tar the trade unionists and the 1. w. w. with the same stick Since then he has de- 1ivered several other addresses before local Chambers of Commerce in differ ent cities, thereby serving to increase the already suspicious attitude ot or ganized labor toward those orGan1za- tions-a most unfortunate result.
 Several delegates who heard the wild man tanner from the West speak III New, Haven referred with heat to his attitude toward organized labor which they considered most unfair and hostile. They expressed the belief that he was an emisary of the large employing inter- ests who are busily engaged III scatter ing broadcast through the land oropa- ganda calculated tolset the public against labor organizations of all kinds and they characterized many of his statements as self evident departures from the path of pure truth--only they didn't say 1t just that way. a
 Their characterization might be termed as more Rooseveltian in its shorter and uglier form.
 It was additionally stated that Ole was sailingeunder halo which didn't fit flim-that he had no more to do with the settling of the strike i'll Seattle than did Frank McCabe, the Trades Coun- ci1's worthy warden at the gate. The strike was settled, 1t was stated, by te1egrams sent into Seattle by the heads of every international union involved and 1t was added that Ole really re- signed because he was unable to handle the situation, not because he was hand- ling 1t so well. *..-. .5-~-
 One delegate, who recently attended a convention of his national organiza- ton on the Pacific coast, said that he found Hanson to be most discredited individual in that section of the coun- try.
 The danger of Hanson's doctrines so eagerly disseminated by the public press and so enthusiastically app1auded by the business men before whom they are de 1ivered was dwe1t upon at considerable length and 1t was agreed that organ ized labor must be on the alert to pro- tect itself from the sort of attack to which it is being subjected by its enc mics and their paid helpers.
