i the biggest conundrum is the
fabric tire situation.
Around 1920 of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality is as
strong and insistent as any one
elSe'S.
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge-podge stocks of dis

Our good friend the Charleston News
and Courier calls our attention to the
fact that the abolition Of the State
Highway commission will put us. out
of the way Of being able to get our
share of Federal road appropriations.
We are quite we'll aware Of that fact,
and we would not abolish the State
Highway Commission entirely. We
would reclaim enough Of the commits
sion to enable us to get our share of
the appropriations; but at the same
time we would revise the machinery
of the commission so as to insure the
of more money for digging
and less for supervision. We would
have a smaller engineering staff, and
require it to do more work, with fewer
men. Where the local officials are
to do as good work without
as with the help Of engineers, we would
allow them to do It, We would leave
the local people with more discretion.
and give them authority over the en-
gineers instead of allowing the en-
gineers to have authority over them.
No we would not abolish the commits
sion entirely; but we would get more
road work out of it than we are getting
under the present system and we
would get better road work.

din, but it at least has the merit OF
coming within the constitution or the
United States" After that amend
ments were set up in rapid succession
only to be knocked down. About all
that was tackled on to the original was
a direction that grain for the Russians
be purchased in the United States ana
sent TO Russia in American bottoms,
and that a report Of all expenditures
be made to congress by the end OF next

Certainly Babe Ruth had no right to
play private baseball for pay, when he
was under agreement not to do So
That was his contract. But it does
look funny that he should be con-
demned by Judge Kennesaw Mountain
Lands. There is nothing in the
written law that prevents Judge Ian
dis from accepting office and salary
as a judge and then giving his time to
baseball at $4,000 a year; but there is
something decidedly out of joint in
morals. The thing don't look right
Maybe the baseball people cannot get
a better man for their purposes; but
Uncle Sam ought to be able to find
plenty of men who will take Judge
LandTs's judgeship.

$4,000, ,ooo-6 Years.

We are reproducing from" The Co.
lumbia State of Sunday Governor
Cooper's plan for raising $S4,OOO,OO0 for
road work in six years.
That the work outlined is badly
needed there is very little question and
neither is there much question that II
would require s34,OOO,OOO to complete
the work suggested.
AS to whether the plan proposed is
the plan Of Governor Cooper or the
State Highway Department, we are not
prepared to say; but since the plan
has been launched as the plan of the
governor with his full approval OF
course, it is proper that it should be
placed before our readers. e.
We are keenly aware Of the fact that
the state is badly in need of an ade-
ouate road system, and we are unable
to conceive of any direction in which
so much money can be spent to the
furtherance of the prosperity of the
state; but somehow we do not believe
that the people are in a humor for go
ing into this undertaking under pres
ent conditions and we do not blame
them.
It is all very we'll to talk about how
this enormous amount Of money can De
raised without increasing the property
tax; but nobody is going to be deceived
into the idea that the state is able 10
raise. s34,OOO,OOO without taking that
much money out of the pockets Of the
taxpayers.
We are not opposed to the principle
of raising revenue by the painless eX-
traction method: but until there has
been very material reduction OF
property taxes through the checking Oh
useless extravaganza, we are not IN
clined TO hunt new outlets for eXpendi-
lures.
Although we hardly expect any re-
duction of appropriations at the next
session of the general assembly, stlli
we do not believe there will be much
disposition to take up a proposition
like that for which the governor mas
become sponsor.
Somehow we think that the legisla-
ture, before acting on a thing like this,
would rather have a little more IN
struction from the people; but if the
legislature should act along this line at
it's next session the people will GER
tainly have their say next summer.
