General Road Repeal.

The general bill for the repeal of road districts created by the general and special sessions of 1919 was iatro- duced by Senator Stewart The meas ure calls for the abolishment of all districts in which bonds have not been issued and for the checking of further bond issues for completion of work, except where continuance is voted by the realty owners of the districts. Pro vision is made that when land owners in district desire to continue the dis trict. or to issue further bonds for the completion of work under way, an cleo ton may be held upon some day to be designated by the district commission CTS and the matter submitted to vote In districts which are closed under the provisions of the act the Chancery Court is given power to appoint re ceiver. or by other methods to wind up the districts affairs. For this pur- pose the chancellor may order tax levy to yield sufficient revenues to pay off the districts indebtedness. Because of the importance of the measure. and the wide range of matters involved, it was referred both to the Committees on Judiciary and on Roads and High ways. who will consider 1t jointly.

the great task of taking the national
census.
Nobody, in all probability, could
guess today within millions of dollars
what the rOadwayS total, in dollars
and cents. ON the ledger of the national
assets. Nobody knows how many miles
5here are where wheels may roll. The
strength and the weakness OF the ma
ions transportation arteries likewise
are unknown in detail.
When the survey is completed. all
these and other facts will be known
and will be available for guidance to

sons of costs. The well-built roads of.
say, Pennsylvania can be laid. dollar

the well-built roads of California and

'Twould drive great logician wild
To argue with healthy child.

Could floor the wisest man alive,
And any bright-eyed little girl
Can set the calmest brain awhirl.
And yet I'm glad those madcap elves
Are daily thinking for themselves.

On what is right and what is wrong
And oh, hope, when older grown,
In life'S debates they'll hold their own
