OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR
LARGE DELEGATIONS
To ROAD MEETINGS

An active campaign to obtain a
large attendance at the Bankhead
National Highway association con-
vention and that OF the United States
Good Roads association is in progress
in all OF the 13 states which the
Bankhead highway traverses, Virgi :
mia, North and South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas.
New Mexiso, Arizona and California.
Col. Bennehan Cameron. president
of the Bankhead National Highway
association, writes Director General
Rountree, that he is issuing an Off
cial letter to all the presidents
and directors in these states urging
them to secure their quota of mem
bership, which is $4,000 for the IS
states. averaging 1000 for each state.
The basis of representation is one
delegate for each 10 paid members.
it is very important that large
delegation attend the Phoenix meet
ing as many interesting and import
ant questions will be settled at this
meeting.
There is a strong sentiment to
Bankhead highway in the different
states. Advocates claim it is more
convenient and it conforms to the
roads of the state highways that
have been surveyed and described as
interstate and state highways. An
other question will be the adoption
of pathfinding commissions to report
on the Texas Mexico division. and
also steps taken to extend the high
way from Laredo, Texas to Mexico
City.
A movement to permanently mark
the highway from Washington 10
San Diego with official signs will
also take place. The employment OF
special engineers whose duty it will
be to cooperate with the state and
county engineers in Strengthening out
stretches of the highway, recon-
mending bridges, recommending go
ing around hills and mountains in
stead OF over them. Taking it. all
in all. the Phoenix meeting will be
one Of the most important and his
torical ones ever held.
President Cameron writes that in
terest in the Phoenix meeting in Nir-
ginia and the Carolinas is very great.
Col. j. c. Duckworth state director
of the Bankhead Highway associa-
ton for South Carolina, writes that
a. delegation of 20 or more in a spe-
cial car will come from Greenville,
s. c.. to Phoenix, with the deterTni-
nation to secure the next convention.
Greenville, S. c.. was a strong OPP
ponent to Phoenix last year and they
desire the convention for 1923.
Director General Rountree has re-
ceived number of invitations TO de-
liver addresses in different parts OF
the state of Arizona and New Mexico
during the coming weeks. He has
accepted these invitations and will do
his part in stirring up interest wher-
ever he goes in these communities

STATE FARM LOANS
ARE HELD UP UNTIL
FUNDS ARE REPAID

No more farm loans Will be made
by the state Until s5S0,000 which has
enormously been loaned has been
repaid to the several funds, accord
ing to the announcement made yes
terday by the state loan board. con-
ssting of the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer. In making
the announcement the board stated
that it may take several years to re-
pay the amount as only the proceeds
from the sale of state lands can be
used for this purpose.
The state finds itself in this posi-
ton, due, it is declared, to the action
of the old state land department,
which credited the interest money
to the permanent fund rather than to
the institutions as set forth in the
enabling act. This will necessitate a
transfer OF funds as soon as there are
sufficient on hand to make a change
in the accounts.
While the action will make 1t im-
possible for any further loans TO be
made in the immediate future, the
taxpayers of the state as a whole will
benefit, a this transfer will corre-
spond approximately 10 a 10 per cent
reduction in the tax levy. Affecting
as it does all taxpayers, the an
nouncement of the board will be of
wide interest throughout the state.
The federal government through
the enabling act made several grants
of land TO the state for its institu-
tions, the proceeds from the sale of
lands alone to become a permanent
fund and the interest earned, to-
gether with the rentals on unsold
lands, to go to the support of the
institutions for which the several
grants were made. The land de-
partment, however, prior to January
!, 1921. included the interest collect
cd by them on deferred payments of
lands that were unsold by them with
the principal payments when making
their remittances The interest pay
ments should have been RENTED
separately and credited to the insti-
tutions for which the land grants
were made, it is explained. These
remittances were credited TO the per-
manent funds and were subsequently,
invested in farm mortgages. II is 10
comply with the provisions of the
enabling act that the reimbursement
of this interest money viii have to
be made as soon as sufficient funds
can be accumulated, the board stated.
The discovery that the funds had
not been properly credited was made
by Rudolph Kuchler, state land COM
missioner. shortly after he took over
his duties as head Of the land de-
partment.

tiles and the public depends on the
recognition of their needs and of the
service needed by the public, he de-
clared. This service belongs TO the
public and the latter has a financial
interest in the utilities although it
may not own share of the stock,
the speaker said. Explaining how
every person has financial interest
in public utilities, Mr.. Greenhalt
stated that savings accounts 20 out
in the form of loans and invest
ments to public utilities. Much of
the deposits of savings banks are
invested in these securities. he de-
clared. Assets of life insurance com
panies. made up of the premiums paid
by the public, are likewise invested.
Therefore, he declared, the safety of
savings accounts depends on the
soundness of public utilities secur-
tiles.
In spite of this financial connec-
ton, the speaker said, how many take
an active interest in this service
rendered by public utilities and with
out which the people could not con-
duct their households? Private busi-
ness occupies nearly the full atten-
ton OF the people and they are in
clined to ignore the public utilities,
said Mr.. Greenhalt, except when the
service is bad, and then they are
contented with condemning it.
The whole answer to the pub
lie utilities question" said Mr.. Green
halt, lies in the operation OF the
Golden Rule. If this comes. there
will be no more trouble; all will help
each other"
Three new Rotarians were formally
introduced 10 the club: Bert Lief
green by Jack Johnston, Roy Way
land by Warren Macarthur, Jr.. and
Roger Hunt by Herbert Stevenson.
Attention was called by Charles r.
Willis to the coming trip to Florence

TELLS Of RELATION
OF THE PEOPLE To
PUBLIC UTILITIES

The service Of public utilities are
so woven into the warp and woof OF
the social fabric that there is no per-
son who has not a serious interest
in them, declared J. r. Greenhalt .of
the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company in a brief ad-
dress before the Rotary club at the
Hotel Adams yesterday.
Mr.. Greenhalt, in the brief time at
his disposal, gave an interesting talk
on public utilities, their relation TO
the public, the many problems they
face and other interesting facts in
connection with them, the subject
being handled in manner that held
the close attention of the Rotarians
and their guests at the luncheon.
There may have been some dark
days in the early history of public
utilities. said the speaker, but wise
legislation has remedied all that.
Public utilities do what individual
effort cannot do; they stand for per-
manency, gather great capital to-
gether and center it where it will do
the most good. Public utilities must
have public support and confidence
in order to fulfill their functions and
render the greatest service to the
public. Whereas in former years
there has been considerable hostility
toward some public utilities. the ten
dency today is toward cordial rela-
tions, declared Mr.. Greenhalt.

And put US in hurry,

When opportunity comes knocking at

Let il in, let it in,
If you don't you'll surely worry
Cause you were not in a hurry
To try, try again.

So hard times can't come a-wooing

And strive to be III hurry,
And try, try again, We'll do grand.
