TOLD ROADS.

The entrance Of the federal and state governments
on large scale into the work of road building has given
f1e 70 = discussion as to means whereby these great trunk
highways are to be maintained. When built they will be
used very largely for freight traffic, and the trunk line
ROADS themselves for town to town trame. One suEges-
ton Is that toll gates be established and tolls collected
from passing vehicles OF all the plans proposed for
ROAD maintenance. this seems to be about the least de-
sirable- 1t may perhaps be the most equita BILE of any rs
1t would collect from vehicles approximately in proper
ton to their use Of the highway. but the annoyance SUI
fered by the travelling public in being halted from time
to time and required to pay fees for continuing their jour
ney. would more than Offset any good features Of such
. plan.
The toll road is an ancient institution, one which
was useful in its day, and which served its purpose.
Highways were frequently built by private enterprise and
those who built them were entitled TO compensation for
their service in building and maintaining roads. 1t was
usually private road owners who were thus compensAt-
largely used by the travelling public, sometimes upon
payment of tolls. but quite frequently without any such
charges. The private road, however, had to be main
tanned by its owner and he could not maintain it unless
he derived from its use revenues sufficient for this pur-
pose. Toll roads have been numerous in the eastern
states. Some are still in existence, but gradually the sys-
tenn is being abandoned and there are few toll gates left.
to establish others. and it is not likely that the revival
of the system as q means Of maintaining modern roads
will ever become popular.
There are other methods Of road maintenance which
would be free from the annoyance Of the toll gate and
which may be expected to serve fairly we'll all purposes
We have either in existence or in prospect the general
property tax. the automobile license. and various other
caring for the highways, and while the public in the
long run must pay the price, 1t will be better satisfied to-
pay it in some other form than by digging up every time

COOPERATING A-DaaN1srRAT1oa AND oNGRE

Many writer's have suggested the deGrabnity Of adopt
ing some system which will bring congress and the ad-
ministration closer together and provide a common
working basis for them. Usually the suggestions have
looked toward some modification Of the parliamentary
incorporate the principle which is employed in this sys-
TEN would require a constitutional amendment, and
might be supposed to involve abandonment in some
measure of our syaIem of checks and balances which
is a distinctive feature Of American government.
b Measures which would render available some Of the
convcniences Of the parliamentary system without any
change in fundamentals have been suggested recently by
former President Taft, and by Lincoln CoIcord in an ar
ticle in the Century. Mr.. Taft proposes that members
Of the cabinet be given seats in congress-vithout votes,
of course-and that at stated times questions be asked
of them relating to the policies and practices Of the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Colcord goes a step farther, and would
have the president himself appear before congress, sag
once a week. to outline his policies md TO respond 10
such questions as may be asked OF him.
Either Of these plans could be adopted without any
appear before congress at any time of his own motion 70
discuss questions of national importance, and either he
or any member Of the cabinet may appear at any time
by invitation. All that would be necessary for the adop-
ton of one OF the suggested plans liz the setting apart By
congress OF a special day upon which memberaoof the
Executive department are invited to attend. The rest
would develop automatically.
1t is easy to see how benefit might come from con-
slant intercourse in this manner between the two branches
of the government. There would be some heckiins, Of
course, but men Of presidential and cabinet sLze would
know how to take care Of that.

THE LEAGUE AND DISARMAMENT.

While the several commissions created as instru-

Regardless Of What Propo-
sitions Germany
May Make
BECAUSE OF FAILURE
TO TRANSFER GOLD
Claim Made in Paris That
Germany is Purposely
Delaying Compliance

Paris, April 26 by the Associated
Pressl The possibility OF applying
penalties to Germany Immediately art
er May /, despite propositions Ger
MANY may make regarding repara-
tions. is being seriously considered, ac-
cordinp to well-informed French circles
to-day. Such action would be because
of the German refusal to transfer one
billion gold marks to the Rhineland or
hand over the equivalent of that sum
as demanded by the reparations com
mission,
It is held officially here that the
failure OF the Germans to pay the bal
ance of the 20 billion gold marks due
May | under the provisions OF article
23j of the treaty of Versailles Is en-
tircly independent of the negotiations
regarding the sum total of the repara-
tions she must eventually pay. The
treaty fixes absolutely this amount,
which being unpaid, justifies the appll-
cation of penalties, according to TINS
theory. whatever course may be taken
regarding the fixing of the total
amount.
1t is semi officially stated that the
French feel unable longer to allow in
fractions of the treaty TO remain with
out penalty, as they are convinced, it
is declared, that the Germans are only
seeking TO delay the execution of all
clauses of the treaty in the hope that
the allies may divide among themselves
and make bargaining easier for Ger
many later on.
Therefore, it is indicated, the French
are considering the necessity from
their viewpoint of occupying the Ruhr
valley regardless of what Berlin may
propose through Washington.
