STATE ADVERTISING.

With Wisconsin undertaking an az
gressive plan of self-advertising, it may
be said that new era of publicity is be-
ginning.
Other states have advertised them
selves with conspicuous success, Cali
fornia perhaps most effectively of all,
but none seem to have gone about the
matter in quite such a cold-blooded bust
ness way as Wisconsin is doing.
Whatever Wisconsin has to say for
herself will be listened to with interest
and respect. But to the rest of the
country the general principles of the
thing are of more moment than Wiscon-
sins special claims. Other states may
be expected soon to follow her example.
We may soon have state blaring at state
in one grand chorus of self-revelation.
Wherefore there develops a certain prac-
teal interest in knowing just what is
the best material for publicity. As for
the method, leave that to the profess
sional publicity men.
What advertises a state? Three things
especially: People, products and hos
pitality.
Every great man or woman in a state
is an asset of that state. So is every
good product of the state distributed
elsewhere. SO is every fair and friendly
trait of character shown in dealing with
outsiders, whether in business relations
or social intercourse or in the merely
casual encounters of tourists
And it all goes back to the people
themselves. Ask any well-taught school
boy, what constitutes stateg' When
the requisite qualities are there, the pub
licity comes easy. Good communities
produce good leaders, good products and
good manners, and all these advertise
themselves without much effort

Who Pays for the Roads?
(Rutland Herald.)

Automobile owners confronted by Ii
cense and horse power taxes on top of
war and personal leyies sometimes feel
that they are the ones who pay for the
improvement of the nations roads.
Owners of abutting property are very
sure that the major part of the burden
falls upon them, and the general tax
payer is seldom without his parallel COM
plant
In view of the fact that the nation
spent approximately 100000 in
road maintenance and construction last
year, the division Of the load becomes
of interest:
The United States bureau of public
roads. a branch of the department of
agriculture, has figured it all out, and
this is the result: Taxes on automobiles
supplied 10 per cent; state road bonds,
seven per cent local road bonds, 33 per
cent; state taxes and appropriations. L.
per cent: federal aid. IA per cent:
county, township and district taxes and
assessments, IA per cent: miscellaneous,
But, whatever the total or the distri-
button of the burden. there is far from
enough money available. This year no
less than three-quarters of a billion dol
lars viii be spent for road building and
repair. and as much more has been pro-
vided for work that will run into next
year and perhaps the one after. Con-
sidered in comparison with 1914, it indi-
Gates 80 per cent increaSe-but the
increase in American highway traffic in
the past eight years is more than $50
per cent.
The fact is that, despite tax burdens,
we seem unable to increase our facilities
for motor and horse-drawn vehicle traf-
fic more than One-third as rapidly as the
traffic grows. 1t offers a problem which
no one can ignore. but which few have as
yet been able even to make start to-
ward solving.

POLITICS OLD STYLE.

The old mud-sIinging campaign is
practically a thing of the past, and no
body mourns its passing, but an occa.
sional glimpse at some of the old stuff
helps the modern aspirant for Office to
realize how much easier his pathway is
today
One man who has made study of pol
itics for years and preserved much in
teresting matter. produced clipping
cut from a northern newspaper in 1869.
Its stilted vilifcation is typical of politi-
cal comment of those days, and runs
thus:
"That perjured traitor, John Blank,
who was once honored with high Office
in the United States, but who violated
his oath to join the southern confederacy
and sneaked out of the country when the
rebel line was checked, was in the city
Wednesday, and received number of
calls from his copperhead friends. May
he never again disgrace our city with
his presence.
The onslaught proved as futile in
checking the honorable political career
of the gentleman in question, as it de
served. Fortunately for everybody, the
method of attack is as obsolete as the
attitude which inspired this shining ex-
ample. Mere difference of political opin-
ion no longer is considered ground for
defamation of character. But it munt be
acknowledged that those were the days
when politics had a kick in it.
