today's Norfolk, Va. Iedcer-Dis
patch. which prompts mo TO ask tina,
you DC 80 Kind Az TO devote a little
space In your paper Ia the following:
II is reported that pamphlet was
circulated In Richmond during the
past week. reputed To he the las,
words of tho late Hon. Hal y. Flood.
To the effect that he was opposed ia
any state bond issue one living in
this section of Virginia at the pres
cnt Time cannot Imagine such word :
coming from man SO well vrrscd
in the necessities OF State like Vir-
Ginia at present. The writer scri-
ously doubts that Mr. Flood ever ut
tered such words. as his record Is
certainly not that of man opposed
to the progress of his State.
In order that those who read this
article may thoroughly understand
Just how bad the roads In Eastern
virginia are ut this time I wish to
state that there are two highways
leading out OF this city at present.
supposed To be kept UP by the State
highway Department. neither OF
which can bc traverscd beyond one
half mile from the city limits other
than via horse drawn vehicles
one OF the largest dairymcn.

town on the state road. loads his
truck with milk ard takes his horse
along in tow. and when the car can't

To same. pulls il out OF the holes and
proceeds at the rate of about one
mile per hour. When he reaches the
town limit the horse is tied To a post
and he proceeds to make his deiiv-
cries, returning in the same manner.
This nhsnlntn IA
thing this community has never
known to exist before. and how the
Legislature can continue to hang fire
ON matter meaning so much to the
state is entirely beyond the writer
Virginia Will never need roads any
worse than at present as is borne
out by the press throughout the

The Health Value OF Fruit.

Some fresh fruit shoud be the first course OF

as observed in guides OF the human digestion.
Acid converts starch into dextrin in natural
digestion. and to say that the two should

4 Proposal Without Merit

CENATOR BOOKER must have overlooked
~ the fact that in proposing referen-
dunn on the issuance OF bonds for highway
construction. he would submit to the people
of Virginia an issue upon which they have
already passed conclusivcly. In the election
OF November. 1920 the voters OF the State
amended the Constitution as TO permit
the General Assembly TO authorize a bond
issue for this purpose
Ours is Il government by direct repre-
sentation. Upon this foundation, laid down
by the fathers of the republic we have built
and ii has stood the test of time. The agi-
tation of few years ago for the initiative
and referendum. eagerly embraced in
the excitement OF the moment by some
Western States, is already being by them
PLACED in tho discard.
In the 1929 election, by a vote OF approxi-
mately two 10 one, the people Of Virginia in
effect directed the General Assembly to
pledge the credit OF the State for a sutii-
clent amount To complete the highway sys-
TEN when, in the Judgment of their repre-
sontaiives, such action should be taken
