Facts and Figures About
Roads
To THE FALCON:

10 HE FALCON;
First. a correction: In my last arti-
Gle you made me say $1,000 had been
borrowed. 1t should have been $lO,-
600. Instead of 1910 taxes amounting
to $50, 900, 1t should have been 1919
taxes.
From the 4th day of March, 1919. to
the present time the Highway Commits
sion has spent in round numbers $50, !.
900. No. pays 2-25 of the taxes of
the county. Her part of this $50. 600 is
"a, 800. According to one of her mag
istrates she has not received $1,000.
Her money is gone, she still will have
to pay her part of the indebtedness,
but she has received practically moth
ing. Is this justice? Now she is spend
ing her wheel tax and her labor tax to
patch mud holes ard mend broken
bridges while her county road tax is
gone and her future is mortgsged.
Will any honest man deny that each
district should receive from the county
road fund its proper proportions of the
whole tax? We have received nothing,
comparatively speaking. No roads, no
money, no credit, summer going and
winter coming on, tractors broken and
trucks busted. We are in worse con.
diton today than at any time in my
memory. Our present supervisor has
just assured me that he considers oui
present system a complete failure.
agree with him. He urges that q
change OF method be made, | agree
with him.
How long are the people of Fayettt
county going to sit supinely by with
feline grins while their taxes arr
wasted and their credit is abused
The wheel tax, one of the most iniqui
tous taxes ever imposed. provides thu
district with little money that tn
Commissioners can't spend but all els'
is gone. Next year the valuation o
the county's property will be at less
twenty millions Of dollars. Are tn
people l,Jing to allow the county to fl
any old rate and thus tax US out o
business? Unless the tax rate is re
duced in proportion to the advance i
vsluation we are ruined. How can tn
tax rate be reduced IL the Highwa
Commission can borrow at will an
squander nd libitum? People Of Fay
cite county. the time has come to de
mand economy and efficiency from pub
lie officials. Let US have meeting ]

every district. Let them determln
on how the roads should be worked
Let US accomplish something.

why Natures Laws Ar: Necessary

Habits of life have much to do with
our seeing things Some folks excuse
questionable conduct because they
have always been used to it, They
have grown up In the midst of ques-
tionahle things and look upon them as
the natural way of life. When their
conduct is questioned they look upon
YOU IN amazement and regard you as
a freak. To them you are as much
a mosshack as they are renegades to
you Yet that does not excuse wrong
conduct There are certain things
about life that conform to standards
OF nature These must be made to
reapond to natures laws, or the being
Snsers the consequence. There are
certain mental and moral laws to
which all humans are subject. BY
habit we may think II are proper thing
10 break them. But that does not
make our conduct Just. It's only when
we conform naturally TO the laws of
God that we meet the end for which
we were horn.-Ctrit

cow SYMBOL OF FORTUNE
Why So Many Words in the Language,
That Refer to Money, Have
Come into Use.

The first coin ever struck off by
Rome had a figure of an OK on it. and
the COW has been in most patriarchal
epochs of society the symbol of for
time. This family is mine and these
are my cows" saws the Arab shelk. a
iweller in tents. and this has been the
cause of the use of the root of Ian
guages which stands for COW being
used in many terms that mean money
For instance, the Latin root pecus
forms many such words. Pecuniary
reward first meant payment in.cows;
peculiarly originally referred to the
number Of cows man had. The old
Teutonie root for the word COW fur
nished the words "scot" and "scot-
free; man who paid his bin or
"scot" did so in a certain percentage
OF the value of COW. and if he GOT
into trouble but escaped without being
mulcted in money he was said to have
managed it without losing one of his
cows

WHY
MicrObic Diseases Can't Be
Eliminated

The island OF st. Kilda. saws the
Medical Press. affords an object lesson
in eugenics. Owing to ~ ,naccessi-
bility, its inhabitants are for long
periods together projected from dan.
gerous infections. Tie few ships
which visit its shores during a limited
part of the year bring with them the
germs of mild infections. such as the
common cold. which generally spreads
throughout the island. More serious
infections are rarely imported, and the
inhabitants. thus being afforded but
little opportunity of acquiring racial
immunity against them (by a syste-
matte elimination Of the NEST suscepti.
bIe), when se.fous epidemic is intro
duced it is likely to devastats the pop
ulation.
Just now most of the inhabitants
are down with influenza. In the seven-
teenth centur., smallpox vas brought
to the island ~ a stricken ship and
every inhabitalt died of the disease.
For many years the island remained
unlnhabited until in I725 its owner
repopuated it with the ancestors of
the present stock
The lesson which the history of st.
Kilda enforces is just this-that strive
as We may, we can never succeed In
protecting the human race completely
against microbic disease. Do what We
will, we cannot eliminate from our
planet all pathogenic microbes or all
microbes capable OF evolving patho-
genie properties. Though doubtless we
act wisely in protecting ourselves to
the utmost limit of our powers against
their attack. by cleanliness. by isola-
ton, by inocEiafior, and the like the
fact must never be lost sight of that
by so doing we are interfering with
the process of racial adaptation. The
lower the mortality SrOm infectious
disease in community, the lower does
the resistance of that community to
infection become,
The protective mechanfsms against
infection with which the warm-blooded
animals are endowed are among the
marvels of biology They have evolved
as the result of an incalculable sacri-
fee of life and their efficiency can on
~ be maintained by q continuance OF
this wholesale sacrifice. Such are the
ways of nature. The recent epidemic
Of influenza should persuade us what
we are.

CAUTION CAUSES TREATY DELAY IN
 J. ]. SAYS GREY
[aepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON, Feb. Tt is evident from the tone of editorial comment on Viscount Grey's recent estimate or Americas position on the league of nations that it sets forth conditions little understood before. Viscount Csrey's statement declared the hesita- ton of the United States in accept ing the league of nations is not due to hostility to the principle, but to constitutional questions and caution as to the possible effects of entering the league.
 With the situation clearly explained by such an authority, newspapers here seem willing to give the United States the benefit of the argument that she is unwilling to make a radical de- parture from her former policy With out due considerations The letter IS viewed as a powerful appeal to America to enter the league, and the Sunday observer pleads for the es- tablishment of the league quhcklys even if it is only a consultatory body, without the United States
 Should Not Oppose Reservations
 Let us meet the United States so liberally as not to leave her an excuse for standing out" the newspaper said
 Complaints over reservations pro posed by the United States senate should be stopped, the newspaper says and it invites the United States to send over ship load of them," add ing: The more Americas reServa- tions are indulged, the less she is in clined to insist upon them.
 Nations big and little are showing their worst sides to each other, the newspaper goes on, and it asserts that the heart and soul of Niscount Grey's plea is patience
 After saying there is a deplorable tendency to cast the major responsi- bility for Europe's troubles on Amer ican shoulders" the Times says the ViScount'S statement arrived at a most opportune moment and those who digest it will find misunderStand- ing removed and comprehension es- tablished."

TOMBSTONE, Ariz.. Feb L. Tombstone hotels are filled to over flowing and private homes are car ing for scores of defendants, witnesses and iuymen here for the opening of the trials of more than 200 persons accused of deporting 1,1S6 striking copper miners from Bisbee. Arizona. 70 Columbus. N. NJ. on July 12. 1917.
 Three men go on trial tomorrow perior court. but the names of the defendants will not be announced un- til court opens. It was said at the county attorneys office today that all defendants previously ordered to appear will be present, and that three will be selected from thir number to stand trial. The selection of the three will depend upon the presence of wit nesses for the state.
 More than 200 witnesses have been subpoenaed to appear tomorrow, and for jury duty more than 150 have been summoned. and these. besides scores of attorneys and interested persons. are here. Capitalists. bankers. mer- chants, professional men, among them the most prominent of the states mine managers, superintendents and fore men, comprise the defendants who are citizens of their rights in carrying out the deportations. Both prosecution and defense anticipate a long struggle over the selection of the jury. Prac- 1icaIly every citizen of the county has been drawn on the jury list. Because of the widespread feeling caused by the deportationS. it is believed the finding of qualified jurors will be a task.
