knovledped that having a central
agency with a settled definite policy
has acted as a stimulus for good ROAD

state as a whole today mas better

While only a beginning has been
made. we are inclined to the Dehel
that much OF the good work done has

can't do much without adequate sup

The Herald and News did not in
tend that it should be understood as
favoring the abolition Of the state
highway commission, and we appre-
'ciate the good that it has done In
creating a spirit that called for the
building of roads, but it seems to Us
that it is undertaking to do many
things pertaining to the counties that
could be done better and at Jess cost
by the county officials. That the de-
partment should be curtailed, and
some of the overhead cost in this way
be animated.
We v ere told some time ago that
the department had in the offices IN
Columbia some forty-five clerks or
engineers or helpers that were paid
salary Of $3.50 Ser month and over,
and it had seemed to us that some Of
this work might have been done by
the counties at less expense.
We understand that if the county
should desire the services Of an en-
gineer that it costs more to get one
from this department than it does to
employ one Independently, and yet
we are contributing very largely to
the ukeep of the highway depart
ment. We did not mean to be under
stood and as suggesting that the de-
partment be abolished, but we said
mean to be understood as trying to
say that the expense of maintenance
might be considerably reduced.
Twenty per cent of all .the automo-
bile tax goes to the maintenance Of
the department, and then it absorbs
about all the remaining 80 per cent
in maintaining the roads that are to
be part of the system, and in New
berry county there are only a few
miles that have been accepted.
We may be mistaken, but it has
seemed to US that we We're paying
rather big price for the maintenance
and then not getting as good results
as we might get if the thing were fin
der the direction Of the local high
way commission. That is all.-New-
berry Herald and News.

SAME OLD STORY.

At the recent world cotton confer

man. his name doesn't matter. made
the statement that there was no over
supply of cotton. Maybe not, when
viewed from the English spinners'
standpoint, but if some Of them had
to swelter in the summer sun and

then be compelled to sell their pro-
duct below cost they would think

RediSCOunt Rate CHt
By Federal ReSerVe
To Benefit Farmers

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. May 4.-Reduc-
ton of the federal reserve board re-
discount rate in the farming dis
tricts as a relief measure in the ag-
riculturai situation was regarded as
probably by some treasury officials
who commented on the action of
the New York reserve bank in low
ering the rate on commercial paper
from seven TO six per cent.
Coming after the recent reduc-
ton from seven per cent to six per
cent by the Boston reserve bank.
the action of the New York bank
was considered as indicating a
gradual reduction of rates on COM
mercial paper in other districts in
the direction of a uniform six per
cent rate throughout the country.
At present the only reserve dis
tricts maintaing the seven percent
rate are Chicago. Minneapolis. At
lanta and Dallas. Governor Hard
ing. of the federal reserve board.
has just visited the Chicago district
and some officials expressed the be-
lief that his report of conditions
there would probably determine the
attitude of the board toward adOp-
ton OF such a method for easing the
farm credit situation.

BY Associated Press:
WASHING TON. May Admin
lstration forces won the first skir-
mish Wednesday in the impending
senate fight over naval disarma-
ment.
Guided by the expressed wishes
Of Pres't Harding, the senate naval
committee refused 10 incorporate in
the annual naval appropriation
measure the proposal of Sen BOrah,
republican. Idaho, authorizing and
requesting the chief executive TO in
vite Great Britain and Japan to
send representatives to a disarma-
ment conference here.
Before the committee acted. Sen.
BOrah had given notice Of the fight
TO come by introducing his propos-
al in the senate and moving TO sus-
pend the rules to make it in order.
Sen. Pomerene. democrat. Ohio. also
gave formal notice that he intend
ed to present a disarmament
amendment to the naval bill in the
senate. His amendment would au-
thorize the president 10 delay the
building program six months while
an effort was being made to ar
range a conference between the
United States Great Britain and
Japan. Should an agreement 10
limit construction be reached by the
three countries. the president might
suspend the building program in
whole or in part.
It IS understood that administra-
ton leaders in both the senate and
house plan to delay action on any
proposals. for international disarm-
ament because of the desire of the
president not TO have this question
Initiated in congress in the present
state of international relations.
AS favorabIy reported Wednesday
by the naval committee. the annual
naval bill. which failed at the last
session, provides not only funds for
continuing construction on the un-
completed 191 program, but also for
personnel of 10000 in excess of
the 100 OOG proposed by the house,
1t also carries funds for beginning
wrk on various naval bases on the
Pacific coast.
The committee increased the
house total OF S396,00O,0 600 to $496,-
900. 900. or the same figure that was
in the bill as it failed in the senate
last March. The principal increase
