WHO BUILDS THE HIGHWAYS?

Who shall pay for the construc-
tion and maintenance of hard sur
faced roads to be ground to powder
under the wheels of motor vehicles.
of which many of the most destruc-
tive compete with the railroads for
freight and passenger traffic? The
growing use of motor vehicles for
commercial purposes and the extern
sion of hard-road systems to cover
the entire country make this an i'm
portant problem. The railroads and
their patrons have a great deal at
stake in the solution of it.
There were approximately TO-
100000 motor vehicles in the coun-
try in 1921, of which more than
100000 were trucks. commercial
cars, taXicabs and buses. engaged in
the service of transportation. To a
large extent, it is true. the service
performed by this motorized fleet
is supplemental to the transporta-
t1on service performed by the rail
roads, but in many instances the two
services are competitive. Whether
motor vehicle transportation service
Is supplemental to or competitive
with the railroads, however. does
not alter the problem.
The railroads pay for the construc-
ton, maintenance and improvement
OF the roadways over which their
trains pass, and that cost neces-
sarily becomes a part of the nation s
railway transportation bill. In 1927
the maintenance of the tracks. road
bed. buildings, bridges and other
structures used by the railroads cost
$156,94S,985. This was exclusive Of
interest on the investment and i'm
provements chargeable to capital ac-
count. It represents approximately
1913 per cent of the total operating
expenses of the railroads in 1921. A
considerable part of the revenues re-
ceiVed by the railroads from carving
eight and passengers went to paw
that cost.
More than 100000 motor yehi.
cles used the public roads for com
mercial purposes last year. The
amount which they paid for that
privilege represents only a small
traction of the cost of constructing
maintaining and improving the road.

ITS A QUEER WORLD!

BOSTON, June S. - Although an other man has confessed to the mur- der of which he has been convicted, only a change in the law can save George L. Rollins from the electric chair. More than four years ago Rol- lins was found guilty of murdering Ordway Hall, manager of one of a chain of grocery stores here. Since then Jesse Murphy now in the Phila- delphia penitentiary, has twice con fessed he shot Hall. Rollins has been in jail nearly five years. The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal for new trial on the grounds that the law pro- vides against the granting of new trial after a year has elapsed from the time of conviction.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-They now have added the names of Roy A. Haynes, Prohibition Commissioner, to the worlds list of long-distance talk CTS.
 Haynes has interspersed a whirl- wind program for drying up the coun- try with about 10000 miles of travel and more than 100 speeches since he took office less than a year ago.
 The "Ohio oracle" as his Middle Western neighbors call him, speaks usually without manuscript, and whizzes along, after swift start, at the rate of 150 words a minute. He is noted for tanning big ideas into long sentences. A two-hour speech is just one of the passing incidents of the day for the prohibition chief. He boasts it matters not whether the au- dience is with him or against him in his views once he gets full head of steam and rips loose for torrent of words.

OPIUM GROWING PROHIBITED
 BY CHINESE

SHANGHAI, June S.-As feature of the crusade against opium growing, smuggling and smoking which is being waged in China, the Minister of the h. terior at Picking has issued an import ant proclamation to all civil governors of the various provinces instructing them to enforce the laws regarding opium. If the laws are not enforced he states that removal from office will be the punishment.
 The circular order to all civil gov ernors is as follows:
 "As the prohibition of opium has been embodied in a treaty with Great Britain, and in view of the repeated protests of the British Legation against the alleged cultivation of poppy in various provinces with the exception of Shansi, Kiagsu and few other provinces, it is absolutely necessary for the central government to adopt strong measures to suppress the evil as soon as possible so as to uphold Chinas international prestige abroad. On account of this and by the approval of the President and the Prime Minister, the central govern ment has decided to inflict adequate penalties upon those authorities who permit the cultivation of poppy within their jurisdiction hereafter.
 ISSUES ULTlMATUM
 Hence the government will cashier or remove any civil governor (Sheng- chang) from his post in case poppy is found in any five districts under his control, while taoyins and magistrates will be punished if poppy be discov- erred in any two towns within their jurisdiction by government opium in- vestigators." Further, the civil and military authorities throughout the republic are persuaded not to neglect this order of the central government on the ground, in case of failure, the foreign powers shall be forced to in- struct their consults in the various treaty ports to make their own inves- tigations to the detriment of the sov ereign rights of China. In the circular severe penalties are also provided for any person or persons who dare to smoke, cultivate or sell the dangerous drug after the promulgation of this order.
 The order sounds exceedingly we'll in words, but in reality and practice, in view of the weak position of the Peking government, it is doubtful whether the threat of cashiering or removing the civil administrators of the provinces can be actually put into force especially as it is alleged that poppy cultivators of the various pro- vinces are generally under the protec- tion of the Super-Tuchuns, Tuchuns or powerful divisional army commanders. In fact, without the effective disband- ment of the Chinese superfluous sol diers and the reduction of the powers
