Getting back to General Lee

that they were in accord with
what has been the verdict also Of
our military writers, namely,
that there was much that was
akin in the military tactics of
Frederick the Great and the dis

called to pass the proper legisla-
ton.
But there are other reasons
just as important. The Federal
Government and number of
State Governments are now max
ing plans and providing the
money for greatly increased road
construction. The soldiers are
returning from France looking
for employment. Many indust-
rial enterprises are waiting for
the readjustmcnt period to pass.
The roads are absolute necessity
to the development of the State.
And the State owes n duty to its
own people and to the Nation to
join at once in the great move
nent for building better roads.
1t has been suggested that the
General Assembly refused TO pass
the l0-cent levy bill FOR the State
highway construction and that it
is idle to expect the same Lcgis-
lature now to change its position.
1t is true that Commissioner Cole
man told the last session Of the
Legislature that greatly lncreased
Federal aid was expected, but it
had not been provided. This.
Federal money is now provided
and 1000, 900 of it is immcdi-
ately available, which is suli-
Gent reason for any member of
the Legislature TO change his pc.
sitlon. At any rate, members

have to vote on it they can not
straddle. So that it is worth the
