abilities of our state. It's wise solution
 is vitally necessary to the full develop ment of our agricultural, industrial and educational interests. We have made but a small beginning in this most impor- tant work. In many counties of Alabama during several months of the winter the roads are a social and industrial block ade. The blockade should be raised in the interest of the social and commercial intercourse of the people of town and country The work must be done largely by the counties and local communities effected; but no longer are travel and transportation entirely local The auto mobile and the truck have made the erst- while community road a part of a sys- tenn of wide scope and importance, so it is no longer reasonable and just to ex- pect local communities to bear the en- tire burden. It should be borne by the national, the state and the county gov ernments operating jointly. The national government has recognized and acted upon the principle and provided funds for the purpose. The path of duty for state and counties is perfectly plain.
 "We must not only build good roads, we must maintain them after they are built. The chief defect in our system lies in the fact that we have failed to make adequate provision for the upkeep of the few roads we have built. Money spent in building roads without provision for their upkeep is money wasted. Millions of dollars have been literally thrown away in this manner. It is high time we are applying a little sense in this direc- ton.
 JUST TWO COURSES
 Now I desire to address few words to the taxpayers of the state. I shall ask the legislature to make larger ap- propriatons for the purposes have mem tioned; for vocational education, for public health and for the building and maintenance of public highways. In the development of these activities the na- tional government stands ready to help the state. But to secure that help, we must. show the disposition and willing ness to help ourselves. This takes money You are neither niggardly nor parsimon- ious. You can afford to pay whatever is necessary to secure all wise and progress sive activities of government, and I be- lieve you are perfectly willing to do so, provided they are directed along wisely conceived lines and administered with honesty, economy and efficiency. There are just two courses for Alabama to fol- low. One is the path of false economy and the ultra conservation that inevita- bly leads to stagnation and decay; the other is the path of true economy and progress along which lie prosperity and ha ppiness for the people and financial ease and independence for the state. To follow the first it is but necessary to drift along in the old careless, methodless manner of treating the states business; to follow the other we must strike out in a new direction, every man being willing to do his part toward placing and keeping Alabama in the forefront Of progressive states of the union.

LOCAL DESERTER IS
CAUGHT IN west

Everett John Schnelle, 81 years old,
son of Fred J. Schnelle, 800 South
Fourth street, who left the military
service last June at Fort Smelling,
Minnesota, was caught Tuesday In
st. Louis by Deputy Sheriff Carl Wad-
man.
Schnelle, who was sent into service
by the Wayne county draft board last
May, made claim for exemption at
that time. He was inducted into the
service at Columbus Barracks, Ohio,
and was transferred from there to the
36th infantry at Fort Smelling only a
few days before disappearing.
Schnelle was captured in civilian
clothes, and there is every evidence
that his is a plain case of desertion
and will be SO treated by court mar
tial, according to Sheriff Carr. Dep
uty Sheriff Wadman will turn him
over to the military authorities at
Jefferson Barracks, whence he will
doubtless be sent to Fort Smelling for
trial by court martial His is one OF
the two cases of men inducted by the
local board who deserted after enter
ing the service Schnelle was sales
man for Richmond tea company be-
fore entering the service.
Although the chief offender has
been captured, Sheriff Carr does not
believe the case has closed from a
local viewpoint
