State and Federal governments IN
many ways. but on the public high
ways, if it is intelligently invested,
not a dollar is thrown away. Like
Billy Bryan said some years ago. if
we had a complete system of public
highways there would be no need for
a big standing army. With good
roads a voluntary army could be as
sembled in a few weeks. But one of
the most potent reasons for. good
roads to- the people of the United
States as well as to the balance of
the world is the menace of rail traffic.
Freights were advanced on the last
lap of high prices and you and / and
even the babes will not see the day
when they are reduced again. The
alternative is first-class public high
ways and motor transportation. 1t
is the only solution. Divert the big
appropriation schemes not to water
ways. (River traffic will consolidate
with railroads. But direct the SUI
preme effort to the building of public
highways and emancipate and Sc
cure the independence of free peo-
pie from the extortions and exactions

n, C. & St. L. Making New Records.

Since the return of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railway
by the Government to it's owners on
March /, that line is breaking all
previous records in the number of
tons of freight handled per month.
Prior to Federal control, the year
1917 was the largest year in the ex-
perience of the road with regard to
the volume of tonnage moved Dur
ing that year 1t handled 6,206, 900
tons of freight, or 517,112 tons per
month During the period of FEEDER
al control, which lasted from Janu-
airy l, 1918, to March 1, 1920, the
calendar year 1918 showed the
heaviest tonnage the road ever han
died, when 7,050,961 tons of freight
were moved, or an average Of $751;
$50 tons per month. For the five
months period between March l.,
1920, and July 81, 1920, the road
handled 3,006,645 tons of freight, or
an average of Col, 1929 tons per
month. 1t will, therefore, be noted,
that the average tonnage per month
handled during the perloa of private
operation since March 1, 1920, ex-
ceeds the previous high average dur
ing the period of Federal control by
almost $4,000 tons per month. This
is a splendid record, when the fact is
taken into consideration that during
the period of 1918 the road was OPP
Grated under the stress of the war
emergency and everything was sacri-
feed to the prompt movement of
traffic.
This railroad has undertaken to
partially offset the shortage in
freight equipment by heavier load
ing, a quicker loading and unload
ing, and faster movement of loaded
freight cars, and, to that end, has
not only exerted intensified efforts
in it's own organization, but has
urged the cooperation of shippers.
1t acknowledges the splendid cooper
alton which many shippers have have
given and without which the record
for August could not have been at
tanned.
AS practical proposition, the
heavier loading of cars and the high
er average in the number of miles
per day each car was moved during
the month of August, as compared
with the last month of Federal op er-.
alton, has had the same result as
if 300 additional cars had been
available and the average perform
ance in loading and movement Tor
the month of February had pre-
vailed.
So long. therefore, as the extreme
car shortage exists, it is readily seen
that it is to the great advantage OF
the public to load cars to their ut
most carrying capacity and to cause
as little delay as possible in their
loading and unloading. In fact, this

Time to React.


It does not always signify and
should not be taken for granted that
the many institutions promoted for
public extension of agriculture and
other branches of public service are
not appreciated because the taxing
powers do not at once and freely
make appropriations for these pur-
poses. Just at this time everyone is
at sea as to the amount of revenues
needed for those things that are alb
solutely ecessary-the management
and maintenance of county and State
affairs. We are more particularly
interested in the affairs of the coun-
ty, of course. The County Court has
budget of expenditures, but just at
this time there is no way to figure on
the cost of labor and materials six
months hence. 1t is that way all
over the country. Country produce
has declined very rapidly and labor
has mot gone down in the same ratio.
Organized labor has not gone down
at all. The proportion of values has
been completely disorganized and
will probably remain so for some
time. Therefore the revenue for the
really necessary things will be bur-
densome, without the extra extern
sions of public service. The County
Court is then very wisely using a
measure of economy, very sensibly
using a degree Of caution until the
crisis is over All good business men
work on that plan in their own bus
mess and the same should apply to
public affairs. There is too much
tendency to lean on the public treas
ury. There are many enterprises
that should be carried on by private
subscription instead of taxation. IT.
is too much a habit to go to the tax
ing powers for everything. If there
is not enough public spirit in a COM
munity to cooperate in worthy en-
terprises that community has not
been benefited much by taxation to
carry out the same ends. For in
stance, Number Thirteen and Union
City have united their forces for
good road to Gibbs. More than like
ly the taxing powers would have
been many years building this road,
and the inference is that the road
never has been built because the peo-
pie concerned have never become in
terested in the improvement. The
principle involved is that you can't
help man or community who
won't help themselves, and this is the |
very essence of the fallacy of social !
ism. The government cannot do for
q people what they won't do for
themselves. A system of general
taxation and government parenthood
will not make an independent people. |
Going back to the roads, the taxing
powers have never given us the value
of our money in good roads and never |
will. doesn't make any difference
what the tax rate is, until there is a \
public spirit for good roads construc-
ton. 1t iS the habit of careless and |
Indifferent people to '1et George do
it," and the same spirit is forever
going to the public treasury for all
sorts of subsidies and benefits.
Now is the time to check this
habit.

SLEEP MALADY

District Health Officer De-
clares One Death Causes
\ No Alarm.

An epidemic of sleeping sick
ness" in Washington is not to be
feared. DR.. William c. Fowler, Dis
trict health officer, declared yester-
daY
Mrs. Charles B. Timberlake, wife
of the Colorado representative, was
the first sleeping sickness" victim
in the District during the past
eighteen months, according to
health records. Her death occurred
Sunday.
Physicians are not required to re-
port cases to the Health Depart
ment. For this reason, DR.. Fowler
was unable to state how many there
are in the city. One physician, he
said, had told him he knew of four.
Lats year sleeping sickness"
cases here totaled a dozen. There
were no deaths, however.
While doctors are baffied as to the
cause of the disease, DR.. Fowler said
it was generally agreed that 1t is
not contagious For this reason,
he believes a marked increase in
the number of cases is improbable.
The disease generally follows an
attack of influenza. Mrs. Timber
lake was stricken after she had the

been but five cases here in the past
