Partisan politics at its very worst has been on
exhibition in Williamson this week. Confronted
with what amounted to an ultimatum from the mil
itary authorities, in charge there because Of the
disorders growing out of the mine strike to clean
UP the local government deadlocked over politics
and for q time everything at standstlll. That
is the spirit that is responsible for most of the in
efficient municipal government we haye in this
country. When it happens in your own town 1t Is
hard to see the uglness of 1t, because all too
susceptible to the influence Of political prejudces.
But every one can see 1t when It happens in some
other town and then we agree that politics should
be wiped out Of the conduct Of our cities. we
probably never will get 1T entirely eradicated but
we are making progress.

According to the monthly statement of State
Treasurer johnson. the finances Of West Virginia
are at low ebb and two Of the most important
funds, the general revenue and the Virginia debt
sinking fund, are overdrawn. This condition is
brought about by the inability Of the state to collect
any of the gas and oil transportation tax which it
was estl. ated would produce million and half
dollars annually. Most Of this tax act has been
wiped out by the courts and what is left will have
to be repealed because it is economically wrong, so
the budget commission will be faced with a pretty
hard nut crack when it gets down to the business
OF providing the session OF the legislature with
a revenue scheme. And it is one of the problems
that simply cannot be lodged West Virginia must
have more revenue il it is to keep up with the prog
ress Of the country.

ROLLING STocK NOT ONLY NEED

ALkING about local RAILROAD conditions at the
weekly luncheon Of the Kiwanis club yesterday.
j. M. Scott. general superintendent of the West Vir-
Of The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, as
rcpofted IN The Times, said that while the need of
better freight and passenger facilities in this city is ad
rnitted they will not be forthcoming until after the
company is able TO get its locomotives and cars up TO
d higher standard
That is one sided and altogether unsatisfactory
way in which to look at matter Of this kind, and if it

something ought 10 be done BY this city to bring about

Florida Press Opinion,

Movement For State Aid Milton Brewton Road.
A movement is now under way to secure the
designation of the Milton -Brevvton Road as State
mission will assist in its construction on a prob
able fifty-fifty better basis, it doing on all
state aid roads. However. in order to secure this
recognition, it will be necessary for the people and
business Of Milton and Santa Rosa County to
take aitive measure to assure the State Highway
Commission that the community through which the
road passes is alive to the needs of such road and
are willing to do their part towards constructing it,
If this measure is to be put through successfully
it means that the business men of the county and
of Milton, especially. must get behind the matter
and push it along. The State Road Commission is
beseiged by delegation from all sections of the state
for aid where the communities themselves are
matching the governments contributions dollar for
dollar, and it will be the utmost folly for this or
any other section to expect to receive such aid I'M
less backed UP persistently by the citizenship of
the community asking for it. brick or cement
road from Milton to the state line along the pro-
posed or similar route would be one of the biggest
entire county that could be proposed and is
proposition that is entirely feasible, and be
complshed, if the board of county commissioners
and other good road workers are given the hearty
ana persistent support of the business men, mer-
chants, doctors, lawyers and bankers, and men Of
means and Influence, who would be most benefited
by the construction of such road.
