II is TO be observed that the eleva-
ton of Col. Wade II. Harris TO the
presidency of the North Carolina
Railroad has not lessened his inter-
est in. and service to, the dirt roads.
None of the burdens of high railroad
officialdom can take him from his
first love. The Yohnalosse (spelling

tain roads still furnish inspiration
for his pen in hot weather. The Col

lust a Moment on the Side

Here they are. and bear in mind that
Mr. Beck was quoting another: The
nrst was the unprecedented ehal-
lense 10 authority. The second, and
equally unprecedented hatred be-
tired between man and man. The
Third was the abnormal aversion to
wOrS. The fourth. the excessive
thirst for pleasure as the great aim
Of life. And the fifth, a gross ma
terialism which denied the reality OF
the spiritual in human life" Mr..
Beck says that most thoughtful men
will agree with this indictment. No
doubt they will. But there are also
some who. no doubt. will violently

The Raleigh Times calls attention
TO the fact that any sale of a pistol,
dirk. sling shot. or such like weapon.
to any person without a permit from
clerk of superior court is illegal,
and any permit given TO a person not
of sood character is an abuse of pub
lie trust by a clerk. Passing by the
question OF why any person of good
character should want to buy such an
article in this day and time. atten-
ton is called 10 something else that
should be a fact. That is that the
old rule of the courts on self defense
ought TO be changed. Now If a man
who has shot another down makes
the claim that he thought the deceas-
I'd made a motion which he took TO
be an indication that he was about
to draw pistol from his pocket. he
is justified. provided the jury believes
II. Ii does not even matter IL il la
ter turns out that the deceased had
no pistol or any weapon more deadly
than a toothpick. This interpreta-
tion of the right of self defence was
made by the courts in the day when
il was the lawful thing to carry
pistol and men were presumed to
have such artillery. Now, what rea-
son is there 10 presume that men are
violating the law? Why not presume
that he is not violating il by having
a pistol and put the hardship. If there
be any. upon the man who does the
killing? If the plea of self-defence
were made more difficult TO estab-
fish ii is fair presumption that
many quick-fngered gentleman
would be more careful. He might
find reason for shooting and then
shoot, rather than as now. shoot
first and then scare up an excuse af-
terwards.

VALUATION ACT BILL
AMENDMENT IS URGED
IBy Evening News Correspondent ]

IBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, March 25:-"Sena-
torial bufoonery" and "a scheme to
make good balloon-like stocks of
public service corporations" are the
strong phrases used by public utility
expert A. S. B. Little of New York
in speaking of the Allen valuation
act which the League of Municipali-
ties is trying to amend by the Parry
Tuttle bills.
A. S. B. Little was a member of
the Public Service Commission of
Illinois from 1914 to 1920. He was
chairman of the valuation confer
ence which made the $100,000,000
appraisal of the Peoples Gas Com
pany in Chiacgo. He has had broad
experience in public utility matters
in Europe, Canada and Australia for
many years.
Speaking of the Allen act he said:
1T is a scheme on the part of the
interests to put over gigantic piece
of senatorial bufoonery in order to
make good the balloon-like capital
stocks of public service corporations.
am simply amazed at the provision
of that act which deals with the
valuation of public service property
for the purpose of fixing rates. l
use the word fixing advisedly. as
that is the expression in the act it
self. How could the fixing rates be
avoided under the farcical system
provided by the terms of such an
amazing bill? What right has
the legislature to delegate its pow
ers to an engineer or to a private
company engaged in engineering
work? The power to fix public serv-
ice rates rests in the state, and that
power may be delegated to some
recognized section of the govern
ment such as a commission or mu-
nicipal corporation-but no state
that 1 ever heard of was stupid
enough to appoint commission and
then force it to sit by idly while
some engineering firm or concern
legally usurped the legitimate func-
tions of the state in deciding the
vital function of rate-making."
Mr.. Little was asked as to the
kind of valuation report that might
be expected under the provisions of
the Allen valuation act. He laughed
and said: well, put yourself in
Germ. You are told to make an ap-
praisal and report on the distinct
understanding that you will not be
examined or cross-examined as to
its accuracy or fairness. l don't
care who makes the report under
such conditions. 1t may or may not
be done by the finest engineers in
the country. 1t nevertheless cannot
fail to be entirely unsatisfactory and
unsatisfying. l do not hesitate to
say that under the provisions of the
act no self-respecting engineer
should be content to make a report
that would result in him becoming
the butt of the self-respecting MEM
bers of the engineering profession.
1t is easy to be a captious critic. but
the whole proposal is so outlandish
and so offensive to fair dealing that
the people of New Jersey should not
rest until such an obnoxious piece of
legislation is erased from the statute
books"

Those Who Wish to Go to At
Iantic City Will Find Null

tBy Evening New. Correspondent


TRENTON, March 25:-In
statement today discussing various
early spring policies of the State
Highway Commission Thomas ].
Wasser, state highway engineer. an
nounced the dismantling of the snow
plow equipment which was organ
lied at the start of the winter for
the removal of snow on the roads.
1t is necessary for the department to
at once start work in putting the
trucks, to which the plows were at
tached, in shape for spring mainte-
nance work, explained the highway
engineer. Hence the calling in of
all the plows to the number of sew
enty-five which have been ready for
several months past to be employed
by the snow removal units. There
was only one real test of the units
during the winter, that was when
there was a heavy snowfall in Feb
ruary. and the removal organization
functioned on that occasion with
great success, throwing the roads
open within a few hours. Bids for
additional maintenance material will
be received on April II, announced
Mr.. Wasser.
Announcement of the withdraw
al of the plow equipment is made so
that, in the event of any late falls
of snow of any depth, which might
cause a tie-up in highway travel,
the public will understand the rea-
son the units for its removal cannot
be called into action" said the high
way engineer today. at is hoped
that the judgment of the depart
ment in this connection will be satis-
factory.
"As previously announced, the
m n n1iGfz xuhn Nh
4, the North Jersey course to Allan
tic City and other shore points, on
their Easter vacation trip, will find
the Mullica river meadow section of
this route open. The new gravel
surface has been laid and the road is
ready for use.
ITO conform with the system in
practice in neighboring states and
for the information and guidance of
the New Jersey motoring public, the
Highway Commission has decided to
have poles along the different routes
of the system painted this spring so
that they will tell to what points of
the compass the respective roads
lead. Blue bands on the poles will
indicate the roads running north
and south in the state. Red will be
used for those going east and west,
and yellow for all highways going in
diagonal direction across the state.
1T is also planned to whitewash
all distractions on the highway sys-
tenn, such as poles, trees, headwalls,
which are located within the grade
width of the roads, and found to
extend six feet from the ground.
The purpose of this will be to enable
the travelling public to avoid acci-
dents at night.
Erection of the new flashing
headlight, which operates both day
and night, is planned for all danger
spots in the state, such as sharp
curves, steep grades and dangerous
crossings"
