THEY MERELY TALKED.

The T. w. w. gathering q. New
Rockford was a fairly peaceful gath
ering. A few impromptu fights oc-
Cured, but they were among he Wis
iting members. and did not amount
to much. The town was not shot up,
or burned down, or anything Of that
sort. Aside from the little skirmish
noted above no acts Of violence seem
TO have been committed. Therefore,
the I. W. w. is an orderly body, en-
titled to- tolerance, If MOTTO active
sympathy and support Is it?
Is it permissible to preach violence.
SO long as no actual violence is COM
mitted? Are men entitled to the pro-
lection of the laws of the country
while engaged in plotting and con-
spring for the violent overthrow Of
all law and of the system under which
laws are made?j
The incident in which members Of
the l., W. w. the other day were urged
to demand transportation on passen-
ger trains on their red cards i'm lieu
OF tickets because OF their numerical
strength is but n Of a Thousand
such incidents all tending in the same
direction. There are people who
seem to hold that a railroad. company
has no rights that any citizen is
bound to respect, and on that basis
the Red program of taking transpor-
tation by force, is entirely proper.
But il a Red card is good for g. ride,
why not q blue or a green oneg2N If
thattis the7program, all that is r1etes-
sary is for a crowd to assemble at
any depot, take possession Of the
train, and. proceed.
On the same basis q gang of Reds
may invade a clothing store and be
QUILTED all around with new suits:
The Reds will easily outnumber the
merchant and HIS clerks. Ana ifSthe
Red may do this, the rest of us may
as we'll take a hand in the game and
do likewise. Again, why pay for po-
tatoes and cabbage? Simply collect
a crowd and 60 and take them. In
other words, the program that has
been preached at New Rockford is
the program of anarchy, and it is ex-
actly the program that il preached
under similar auspices everywhere.
The principles Of Tow-nley differ
from those of Haywood only in form:
Both stand for the destruction Of
everything in the existing system that
is worth preserving. 1t Was not
merely a polite form which Lesueur
used when he addressed Haywood as
fellow worker" The two are work
ing toward the same end, and using
largely the same methods.

THE STATE TAX RATE.

In these days of high prices
and burdensome taxes of various
kinds, it is with a great deal OF
satisfaction and joy that the peo-
pie of this state learn that the
State tax rate for the next two
years will be , cents lower.
The lowering of the State tax
Is hailed with special delight by
the people of this county, who
want to continue demonstration
of lateral roads of the county,
since to do so, will require an in
crease in our local tax rate. In
these abnormal times, anything
that helps the taxpayer and, at
the same time keeps our State
and County in the vanguard of
progress, is always received with
satisfaction.
We congratulate the Governor
upon the wise and business-like
manner in which he made up his
budget which, while lowering the
tax rate, makes provisions for
necessary increases in salaries,
thereby insuring, we believe, eff
ticient men in office. The Gov
ernor will fully justify the in
crease in salaries he has made
by appointment to the various
offices, especially where increas-
es in salaries have been made,
the most efficient and able men
that can be had. One office that
comes to our mind in this regard.
while not made directly by the
Governor, will likely be male
upon his approval, is that of Su-
perintendent of the House of
Correction. The increased sala-
ry in this instance justities the
appointment and acceptance of a
good, sound business man who
can and will give his entire time
to fultillment of the duties of his
Office and make the institution a
credit to the State.

Abolish The
Road Commission

The sentiment of the people of
Charles County as shown at the
recent meeting in the interest of
road Legislation shows that they
are not only willing but anxious
to go down in their pockets and
make some sacrifice for the next
lew years to take advantage of
and from the State in building
lateral roads throughout the
county. This being true, every
economy should be exercised in
meeting this proposition and APP
preparation OF money for the pur-
pose made consistent with per-
manent results as possible. In
doing this, as we see it, economy
ana results can be had in the
money spent per mile in the con
struction of the lateral roads.
notwithstanding the increased
cost OF labor and material, iudg-
ing from the cost of roads per
nile in the past, we believe that
practical and lasting results can
be accomplished at a cost far less
than 81, 200 per mile. 1t is bad
business policy to spend money
when there is no necessity, just
because you have it.
The adjustment of the Road
Commission and the decreasing
of the appropriation for road
maintenance is practical way
that money can be saved. We
believe that the adjustment of
the Commission and placing the
work OF repairing and maintain
ing our local roads, until lateral
roads can be built, in the hands
of the County Commissioners
under the conditions of the pres
ent road law, would serve every
purpose.
As we understand the senti-
ment of the recent meeting, the
idea of a local fund for road
maintaining is simply to keep all
local roads in shape for passage
during all seasons, until the pro
gram of building all lateral roads
can be carried out. This would
mean simply repairing our local
roads only to the extent of max
ing them passable without CON
struetion for permanency. This
being true, as we see it, the sum
of $4,000 would be amply suffi-
cient for necessary repair work.
The placing of this work in the
hands of the County Commits
sioners would save salaries as
well as other overhead expenses
that are now necessary under the
present law and which will be a
practical saving.
Now is the time for practical
business and, if business is
meant, let's go at the proposition
of future road building with an
eye single to business methods,
economy and lasting results.
