There are two movements of Holl-

Virginia spent $1,000, 900 for
teachers salaries last year and about
S2s 100000 for luxurics, four times
as much for luXures rs for educa

THE ROAD BOND ISSUE.

At recent election an amendment
was voted to the Constitution OF Vir-
ginia, permitting the Legislature to
bond the State for any sum it may
deem necessary, for the building OF
roads. Bond issues are burden which
the State should be slow to assume.
They are also popular with people
who pay little or 10 tax except the
poll tax.
Southern Progress, fine mag
azine which has devoted it's best en-
ergies to road building in the state,
says that we do not need n bond is
sue. j. Sheppard Potts, President of
the Rural Road Improvement League,
says; "but one thing is certain, that
we have far more than enough in
the current road revenues in Vir-
ginia to build the entire state sys-
tenn. 1t is further pointed out that
the $500 miles proposed to be built
within six or seven years, cannot
possibly be done, that under the most

pennsylvania built 600 miles of road

Tor large sum of money to con
struct roads where it is Il physical
impossibility to do so, is unwise. IN
say the least.
ut is foolish to build roads lavish
ly and make no arrangements for re-
pairs" says the Virginia Union
Farmer. We need good system of
state roads, rather than great high
ways to enable people to "scc vir-
ginin, however important these great
highways may be. The state of Ar
kansas, it is pointed out. is in an al
most bankrupt condition on account
