OIL MEN BITTER
 AT HARDING
Resent His Interference With Petrol cum Schedule of Tariff Bill. Some Congressnen Threaten to Make Dis closures About Circumstances of Presidents Nomination.

Washington. July 13.-Ammunition being gathered by oil tariff Republi- clans for final onslaught against the antis nthe House Thursday promises to produce ome spectacular fireworks that will shake the ground around the White House.
 The reaction against President Hard ing's interference with the petroleum schedule of the tariff bill has become so bitter among the thousands of in- dependent producers and operators who fear their businesses will be gObbled up by the Standard Oil Company if the tariff on oil is defeated that little restraint is being placed on language.

Presidents Letter.

The letter sent by President Hard ing to Chairman Fordney protesting against a tariff on petroleum. which was read into the Congressional Rec ord today by Representative Byrnes of Tennessee is as follows:
 I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that your committee VIII take note of the foreign policy to which we are already committed and under which the government is doing very consistent thing to encourage the par ticipation of Americans in the develop ment of oil resources in many foreign lands
 .orhis course has been inspired by the growing concern of our country over the supply of crude oil to which we may turn for our future needs, not alone for our domenstic commerce hut in meeting the needs of our navy and our mercantile marine to levy protective tariff on crude petroleum now would be at variance with all that Ina sbeen done to safeguard our future interests. can readily recognize the claim of some o fthe oil producers for a protective tariff ntheir product, but such a course of temporary reiief would be so thoroughly out of harmony with the larger policy which I have in mind that I should be more than disappointed if Congress decides to levy tariff on import oil.
 "The oil industry is so important to our country and our future is so utterly dependent upon an abundance of petroleum that I think 1t is vastly more important that we develop an abundance of resources rather than temporary profit to few producers who feel the pinch of Mexican com petition. ."-Gazette

DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

Mr.. Harding has done another
good thing in calling u conference of
the leading nations to consider the
question of disarmament. The confer
once, it is stated, will meet in Wash
ington in November next. Then, it Is
fair to assume, the whole question
will be threshed out, and perhaps
other international questions.
The old proverb, that the best way
TO insure peace is to be prepared for
war. How about Germany? Japan
seems to be reluctant to enter the
conference. The door is wide open.
and Japan has opportunity to come
in. If she does not she will show her
hand, and the world will "know then
exactly where the greatest dnngr
Of future war lies"

MIR. HARDING ENDORSED.

President Harding has. very prop.
erly, according to, we believe, a ma
jority Of the voters and tax payers
OF this country, set his face against
the big bonus for the veterans of the
late war. To give two or three bill
lions of dollars to this demand of
money grabbers, would add one hun
dred dollars and more. to the burden
OF taxation, upon every man. woman
and child in this country. 1t is easy
to appropriate money ibut not so
easy to pay it. Some folks forget. if
they ever knew. that the govern
ment" has no money except as it is
secured in taxation from the people.
There are lot of desk warmers. men
and women, who have. lucrative po-
sitions, and large number of sold
iers in better positions than they
gave up when they were drafted. If
It were merely a proposition to give

the soldiers bonus the thing would
look different perhaps. but the eco
nomic condition Of the country is 10
be considered. Already the people are
burdencd with taxation. and to pile
up tn enormous sum of from two to
four billions of dollars on top of the
load, would amount to an outrage.
After all, it is believed that the sold
iers themselves, that is, the great
majority of them, do not want this
bonus anyway.
Most assuredly, if n bonus is grant
ed there should be careful discrimi-
nation. Hundreds of thousands of
the veterans have good positions and
in good business better than they
had before the war. Ample provision
should be made for the disabled war
veterans, and right here the Ameri-
can Legion covered too much ter
ritory" in their plans for bonus.

ROADS WORN OUT.

The writer had occasion day or
two ago to drive over the road from
Tazewell to Maiden Spring, and from
Tazewell to Burke's Garden.
He was astonishcd to find that the
road from Tazewell to Liberty, is
practically worn out. In fact. it is
doubtful where there is n worse.
meaner or more trying piece of road
in the county. There is not con-
tinuous mile of good road west Of
town this side of Maiden Spring. One
finds himself asking, "What has be-
come of this good road of year or
two ago" In many places 1t has
washed away-the same old story
not properly drained. In others the
road has worn into chug holes ana
ruts. Practically this road will have
to be rebuilt anew. but what's the
use of spending several thousand
dollars per mile only to have it
washed away in Il year or two? There
is serious doubt that roads are not
properly constructed to begin with,
but there can be no doubt whatever.
that maintenance is all oif-lacking,
crlminally and worse-neglcctcd. Will
the county continue to throw away
money in building high priced roads
and leave them to be washed and
worn away?
AT the present manner Of proceed
ure this county can never have good
roads except in spots. Baforc one
end of the road is finished the other
end is worn out, and at the present
mode of procedure it will be an hun
dred years before there are good
roads all over the county But, what's
the use Of talking? All this has been
said and more, and better, many
times over. Surely the authorities,
whoever they are. who have the d..
recting of our road building never
travel these rough roaus, or shut
their eyes when they do go over
them.
The best road in the county, per.
haps at this time, is the road into
Burke's Garden. From the foot OF
the mountain OH one side to the
foot of the other side. the road is In
fine condition. The road thru the
Garden is wearing out, but is in
pretty fair shape. The mountain road
is we'll drained. AS every body knows,
water destroys roads faster ana
quicker than traffic. The road be-
tween Tazewell and the station, Is
full of chug holes and ruts. Even
the road built year (or less) ago,
is getting in bad shape.

"a CONSUMMATE HOG"

Republican Senator Moses, from
Massachusetts, speaking of Il lot Of
high tariff advocate as "Consummate
Hogs" and the New York World re-
marks: "When Republicans of such
excellent standing as Senator Moses
begins to call the party's old tariff
beneiiciaries "consummatc hogs"
there is possibility that the whole
Fordney Tariff measure may be kick
cd into the congressional scrap
heap, and all other normalcies along

riparian rights of owners, and there
by the yelled attempt of the Norfolk
and Western to transfer to the Falls
Mills fishing Club the control of the
mir and water that every human be-
ing has an equal interest in, and is
not transferable by man or his de-
scendants for any purpose whatever.
Who are the riparian owners? The
men whose lands are three or four
miles from the banks Of Mud Fork
are riparian owners from the top
Of Stony Ridge to the top of Blue
stone Ridge. and for one l deny the
right Of any C corporation or man
to secure the land nearest to the
river, and then give tho exclusive
right to a fishing club to use that
water for their own purposes, and
to arrest me as trespasser il l at
tempt to enjoy that which the Crea-
tor and no man, has given me. The
water comes from the timber that
lines these banks of Mud Fork, and
comes from the highest tree on the
mountain to the smallest bush on the
plain, and is not amenable to man
made law. The rule is, that you can
use the water, not polluted and pass
it on to your neighbor. This is the
first instance where the Norfolk and
Western-usually very liberal cor
poration, has attempted tho trans
fer Of property rights, given by the
Creator for the universal use of
man. 1t is among the possibilities
that the Virginia Legislature will be
called upon to. decide whether ma
tives of this state have any rights
which n foreign corporation is bound
to respect.
