PLEA FOR TALKING MACHINES
Washington Authorities Interest Them

Reconsider Their San.

Shakespeare somewhere has a
line to the general effect that good
deed, like bright light sends its
cheerful beams through q naughty
world"
1t would seem a far cry from
Postmaster General Hays ''human-
ling" policy, as applied to the pos
tai employees, to a discussion of
leases submitted to tenants here in
which the lessees were asked to give
up their monographs, remarks the
Washington Star.
But the bright light of humanity,
as exemplified by Mr.. Hays, brought
the two together, all right.
An official of the government was
talking about those leases, in which
talking machines are classed with
dogs, cats and parrots.
"What the people who made out
those leases need is more of the
spirit that moves Mr.. Hays, more
Of the desire to look at the other
fellows side of things" he said
"They would Danish the immor-
tai voice Of the great Caruso, sing
ing on, though the singer is no
more; the art of the great pianist
Rachmaninoff; of Kreisler, the
yiolinist; the wonderful work of
Schubert, Beethoven and other
masters.
''They need to learn that the mod
ern talking machine, properly used,
is true source of true music, and
that the man who has no music in
his soul is fit for treason, .strategems
and spoils,' indeed"

HOIbein Writes About
Proposed Bond Issue

The Independent has received the
following letter from Will f. Holbein,
secretary Of the North Dakota Good
Roads Association, commenting on
recent editorial in the Independent.
The editorial was merely suggestion
and we invited our readers to COM
ment on it. We are very glad to give
Mr.. Hobein's letter publicity. Mr..
Holbein's arguments appear very rea-
sonable:
II have read with great interest
your editorial in last weeks Indepen-
dent regarding the proposed state
wide highway system that the North
Dakota State Good Roads association
is proposing. l note that you are in
doubt concerning the bond issue part
of our program.
duced in the late session of the legis-
of $4,000, 100000. Later we succeed
this to $5,OOO,OOO. This latter amount
was to be used to refund to all coun-
ties participating in state and federal
aid from January l., 1918, up to the
date of the passage of the amendment,

start out on an even basis. The re-
fund was to be used however, by the
counties in the construction of coun-
ty systems of highways under the jur-
isdiction of the State Highway Com
mission. 1t would not be necessary
for the refunding bonds if the coun-
ties would be willing to wait several
years and have the money come back
to them in yearly payments, but it was
thought best to refund all the money
at once in order to stimulate county
systems Of highways, and bring about
better roads right away.
1--WE have no way Of knowing just
how this mater will be handled by
the amendment that the North Dakota
State Good Roads Association will mi
tiate in June, 1922, for our legislative
committee has not as yet secured all
the data that they need. We want to
improve our amendment over the Bah
cock Amendment in Minnesota, or the
amendments of other states that pro-
vide for statewide systems Of state
and federal highways, and therefore,
our committee is not hurrying matters,
as it wants to be dead sure every
thing is all right. But it is presumed
that some provision will be made look
ing to an early refunding to the coun-
ties as stated, for this seems to be the
best thing to do. You may rest as,
sured that when the amendment is
ready for inspection that it will be the
last word in highway legislation"
