OF course the title to this article
as used because Il sounds well, for
no one ever went over the National
road on high. Mountain after noun
cain must be %Tept up on second or low
and the machine must be thrown
into one OF the low gears in order to
descend. To go down without shift
ing into low or intermediate often
means the melting away of the brake
bands like a lump OF butter on a hot
pancake Along the highway one
reads signs that new brake Innings
will be put on machine in short
zine. Renewing brakes is a lucrative
business along mountain roads.

HIGH TAXES.

The universal cry Is against high
taxes. The cry should not be against
high taxes, but against the current
use of taxes. The question of high
or low taxes is to some extent gov
erned by the valuation put upon prop
erty from the public treasury. Crush
the socialistic. paternal spirit grow
ing up in this country, whether in
the form Of pork barrel or govern
ment ownership of public utilities.
All such unconstitutional doctrines
and practices are increasing the tax
es to the breaking point
The continued excessive tax bur
dens can be traced to certain abuses:
First: Extravagant, complicated
governments. The office seekers Of
fee holders, and tax eaters have
multiplied government machinery to
perpetuate themselves in office. If
you would reduce the machinery and
throw out of office the inefficient, rat
hole hunting office parasites you
would reduce the cost Of municipal,
county, state and national govern
ments 80 per cent. To-day, you have
about sixty cents Of every dollar Of

EDUCATION FOR THE
UNEMPLOYED

Unemployment is a grave crisis in
the industrial history Of any nation.
Various are the social and financial
schemes for ameliorating ii. Edu-
cation may play an important role
in fitting workmen for better con-
ditions, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing data gathered by the Ameri-
can Consular Service, Geneva, Switz-
erland:
On January IS; 1922, the Council
of State of the Canton OF Geneva in
augurated a series OF educational
courses for the unemployed. These
courses are designed TO give work
men practical instruction In their
particular industry and furnish the
opportunity for apprentices to con-
tinue training already begun, Courses
are also offered of a general educa-
tional, physical. and recreative char
acter.
The administration and supervi-
sion OF the work are in the hands Of

NATIONS BUSINESS TURNING
TO HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION

That the business of the Nation is
turning more and more to highway
transportation is indicated by stats
tics on motor-vehicle registration as
of July /, compiled by the Bureau Of
Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Regis
tration of passenger cars, taxis, buss-
es, and motor trucks totaled 1O,62O,-
All on this date, an increase of 49,
176, which is a healthy growth, as
the first half, of the year is the off
S ason for registration of new We
hicles.
The surprising fact, however. is
that of the 157.174 increase in regis
tration: motor trucks constituted
116,7O1, against S5,30S passenger
cars and 5,443 taxis and busses. This
means an increase of over 16 per cent
OF the number of motor trucks at the
beginning of the year. Figures are
not available to show what part OF
the increase of 5,443 or nearly III
per cent in the taxi and bus registra-
tion is due to the increase In the
number of buses traversing rural
and suburban routes, but II is very
probable that a considerable part OF
the increase is due to the develop
ment OF this new form OF transpor-
tation.
1t has been frequently said that
the traffic is always ready and wait
ing when good roads are built, and
that the commercial vehicle as al
class is more handicapped by lack of
good roads than the pleasure We
hicle. The increase in the registra-
ton OF commercial vehicles, coupled
with the present activity in high
way construction. seems to bear out
this statement in the opinion Of de-
partment officials.
The table OF statistics issued by the
bureau shows a registration OF s,467'-
STA private ears. $500 taxis and

"Hcrb Doctor" Slain by Man Who
Thought He was In League
with "DcyiI.

Manila, Nov. 1S.-The herb doc
tor" and common quack flourishes
aburdants in the Philippines large
ly because the people are not free
from the ancient superstitions of their
native religion. in which sorcerers
conjured the kinder gods and implor-
ed mercy for the sick in weird in
carnations and mystic dances per-
formed at the bedside of their pa
tients.
But Donate Bascos, poor farmer.
recently played more than even with
his herb doctor" He became con-
. WINGED that the man was fake and
invited him to sleep in the house ov-
ernight. When the doctor" had
dropped off to sleep Donate crawled
from his bed and boloed him to death.
This is the bare report OF the consta-
). bulary. but II is likely that there was
neighborhood gossip that the doc
tor" was a "mancuculam. or one In
league with the devil. Such killings
are usually traced to such beliefs.
Even in Manila, thriving metro
polls Of the Philippines, old notions
hang on tenaciously. The man, a
licensed doctor, whom II is proposed
by the Quebon party to have GOV
ernor General Wood appoint as may
or of the city, once submitted for

TURNING KNOWLEDGE
INTO PROFIT

In choosing such mottos as Learn
ing and Labor and 'Precept and
Practice, the far-sighted founders of
our agrarian system established as
fundamental the principle that head
and hand must work together in any
permanently successful agriculture.
No institution is more effective in
thus co-ordinating the mental and
physical activities of the tillers OF
the soil than the world-famous In
ternational Live Stock Exposition
which will hold its twenty-third an
niversary session in Chicago, from
December End to December 9Th.
Here the master breeders, feeders,
farmers, experimentors and instruc-
tors bring together from all parts OF
the continent the finest examples OF
their skill in producing superior ag-
ricultural products. More than a
score OF buildings, covering twenty
acres of highly valuable city proper
