resents. Since Woodrow Wilson be-
came the chief advocate of league
of nations, Lodge has adopted a mar
row national policy and would isolate
this nation from the affairs of other
countries. Sg. .r.-, *
Secretary Hughes is correct in his
insistence that II is a conference for
the Limitation of ornaments, No one
ever seriously suggested that this
nation or any other nation entirely dis.
arm. What people desire is not dis
armament but line drawn on the
mad race among the nations of the
world for the biggest ornaments. No
one could seriously entertain for a
moment the idea that the standing
army of the United States be entire
ly abolished Recent events in West
Virginia demonstrate the need for a
strong force for domestic purpose ., II

CONCRETE BRIDGES.

County officials are to be congra-
tulated on the savings which they
have made the county In the letting
of the contracts for six new concrete
bridges. 1t Is very seldom that it
costs the public less for anything than
original estimates, but savings of
around $4,000. is indicated.
1t is great pity that the county
did not long ago establish the practice
that has been in vogue for the past
six years Of building only concrete
bridges and where the traffic justifies
it, only concrete culverts. The cost
of maintenance for a great many
years is eliminated when concrete is
used. One Of the greatest drains to-
day on the road funds of the county
Is the cost of culverts.. If it could be
reduced, and it will be, by replacing
the old with the. concrete structures
there would be more funds for the
highways proper 1t is estimated that
not more than five per cent OF the
culverts on the main highways of the
county are of concrete. As traffic
increases and it does every year
with morton transports, the old cul
verts of wood give way. And they
give way in increasingly large numb
ers. They are replaced by concrete
at much greater initial cost than
the original, but expense is elimin
ated for years to come.
1t is going to be matter of but a
few years when some of the major
bridges OF the county, those across
Duck river will have to be replaced
They should be replaced with con
crete. OF course that is going to en-
tail an immense initial expenditure
but no other material should be con
sidered. In the meantime it would be
a good idea if the county court in
| vestigated closely every application
for local or small bridge and hesitat
ed before it constructed any more o.
them, saving the bridges funds as fal
as possible for the larger bridges tina
must be replaced at an early date

that is hardly possible or necessary

TAX REDUCTIONS.

Every one is anxious that the tax
burdens imposed by the federal gov
eminent should be reduced. Stupen-
dous sums are being eXacted from the
people In taxes and will continue to
be collected for years to come until
there has been substantial reduction
of the war debt. The congress has
shown little disposition to retrench.
In many departments it is actually
spending more money than in pre-war
days. This is notably the case with
the military and naval establishments.
1t is also true with public roads and
other internal improvements. AS a
matter of fact these appropriations
should be reduced to the minimum
In order that the tax burden may be
lightened.
The republican party leaders in the
house and senate are making a pre-
tense of big tax reductions, but if we
are to accept the estimates of Secre-
tary Mellon, of the treasury depart
ment, these tax reductions will! be
made at the price of a deficit in the
treasury for the coming year The re-
lief will be apparent and not real 1t
will simply postpone the evil day of
payment, mean more bond issues
and furthSr decline in the value of
the bonds already issued 1t is doubt.
full II the treasury could float big
bond issue at this time or within the
near future at less than six per cent.
That would be manifestly unfair to
the owners of the Liberty bonds pur.
chased at par at much smaller rate
of interest
This government should do just as
a prudent individual or business con-
Germ under similar circumstances
would do. 1t should be Just as eco,
nomical as possible, retrendl in every
direction and then make enough to
not only pay expenses but make some
impression on it's debt. There is but
one honorable and satisfactory way
TO get rid of a debt and that is to pay
it. Changes and revisions should and
must be made in the tax laws but re.
auctions that will result in a defici,
would not be justified and would be
hardly a temporary relief.

OUR DELEGATION.


With the exception of Senator
Lodge, whose appointment, because
OF his official position, could not well
have been avoided, the delegation Sc.
lected by President Harding to repre-
sent America at the conference for
the limitation of ornaments could
hardly be improved upon. Secretary
Hughes and former Senator Root are
among the ablest men in public life
oday. Both have been long and con.
sistent advocates of some kind of an
agreement among the civilized nations
OF the earth to minimize the possible
ties Of war and to limit ornaments
They are both unreservedly in sympa.
thy with the objects and purposes of
the conference. Altogether probably
Elihu Root is the ablest statesman in
American life today. He is world
character. He probably has better
understanding of international law
than any statesman on this side of
the Atlantic. He is intensely patriotic
and has never been narrow partisan
or bigot Secretary Hughes stood for
the league OF nations with mild reser.
yations. He Is not an internationalist
but he has faith that the civilized ma.
tons of the world can by mutual un.
derstanding eliminate many of the
causes of war and end at least in part
the crushing burden of ornaments.
Senator Underwood. who will rep
resent the democratic party in the
delegation, is the minority leader of
his party in the senate. He was its
minority leader in the house. His
ability is unQuestiOned He consist
emily voted for the ratification of the
league of nations covenant with and
without reservations. He is not a par
tisan and may be expected to APP
proach the momentous issues that are
involved in this conference with an
eye single to the peace and concord
OF the world. The issue involves too
much of the peace and happiness OF
the world to be approached in a pari
san sense.
Lodge Is a scholar. Except John
Sharp Williams he is probably the
best educated member of the senate
He has had nearly forty years of expe
rienee in the congress of the United
States. He has been long a student
and an authority ON international law

lie schools, but, in the educational ia.
cilities that Columbia affords, the pub
lie schools have most important po'
sition, the prime position in so far as
the home population is concerned. To
the people of Columbia the public
schools are very near. 1t was in these
schools that repeated generations of
the city's population have had their
mental training, and where present
and succeeding generations must have
a like advantage. 1t is gratifying,
therefore, to know that the schools
are progressive and we'll ordered, and
have high standing in their compari-
son with the schools of other Ameri-
can cities.
The High School is rated the best, Of
its character, in the state, is on the
accredited list of schools, and its grad
yates are now received on certificate

school. Columbia has the best high
school building in the state, save in

tFrom Wednesdays Daily Herald)
In has often been said that Maury
county soil is adapted to the culture
of all food necessary to life, with yhe
possible exception of sugar-but now
along comes an old negro, whose name
has not yet been ascertained and
skaters the theory that Maury coun-
ty cannot produce sugar. This old ne
gro has brought to county council
h headquarters quantity of sugar
beets, now an extensive source of su-
gar.
While the sugar beet is not grown
extensively in this county, it has been
demonstrated that they can be sue
cessfully grown. and in case of emer-
geney Maury county could be called
upon to produce her own sugar.

III tlC Va tliip
ticket the candidates gave out the
following simple statement:
1--WE seek the suffrage of the people
of Columbia on the pledge that if we
should be elected, we will devote all
of our talents and energies to the dis
interested service of the city. We
pledge ourselves to give the city the
best possible administration Of its az.
fairs. We have no selfish interests to
serve and will devote ourselves whole.
heartedly to giving Columbia as eco
nomical and efficient administration
IS possible.
The ticket is admittedly a strong
one. 1t is made up of splendid citi-
zens whose fidelity to any duty and
whose devotion to the interests of CO.
.umbia will not be denied. Nearly ev-
cry one of them has lived here nearly
all of his life and every one is patri-
otically devoted to the promotion of
every legitimate interest of the city.
Each enjoys to the fullest degree the
confidence of his neighbors ascot
ates and intimates.
Fred Latta, who seeks election to
the high Office of mayor, is a native
son of Columbia, a successful drug
gist and one who has never failed to
give of his time and effort to the pro-
motion of any good cause. He is per-
sonally popular and widely known.
Honorable, truthful, loyal and upright,
he is sure to be strong candidate.
For aldermen in the first ward both
candidates, Henry A. Porter and Cliff
ford D. Addison are well known to
practically every voter. The former
has been for many years engaged in
the hardware business and is public
spirited citizen. The latter is a prom
inent merchant on the square and has
been for long time one of the lead
ing members of the city board of edu-
cation, giving literally of his time to
the promotion of the school interests
of the city.
Allen Sloan in the second ward is
the head of the big wholesale grocery
house that bears his name. He has
always been in the forefront of every
movement that would promote the
good of his community. J. P. McGrew,
of South Columbia, is a we'll known
railroad man who enjoys the conf
dence of every one who knows him.
Probably there is no more popular
travelling salesman in this territory
than A. Hammonds in the third ward
He is high class citizen, enc g7t.c
and enthusiastic for any cause that he
may espouse. John N. Pigg is for
mer alderman, knows intimately the
affairs of the city and is a successful
business man.
