WANTS DELAY
ON BONUS BILL

Washington, Feb. 27.-Postpone-
bonus bill for while longer was
suggested today by Representative
MondeII of Wyoming, the Republican
leader, after he and Chairman Ford
ney, of the ways and means commit
tee, had conferred with President
Harding at the White House.
Emphasizing that the suggestion
was his own, Mr. MondeIl said it was
to pass bonus measure at this ses-
ion and that little delay might serve
ITO clear the skies.'' He explained
that within short time there pro-
baby would be more definite infor-
nation as to expected savings in ex-
penditures for the next fiscal year
returns from the foreign debt and
whether business conditions could be
expected to improve to the extent OF
insuring additional federal revenue.
Mr.. Mondell and Mr.. Fordney were
understood to have appraised the
President formally of the action OF
the special house subcommittee in
rejecting the executives proposal
that the bonus be financed by a sales
tax, and approving, instead. a bill
without any definite means a raising
the revenue. They would not indicate
what views the executive had ex.
pressed, but Representative Long
mittee dealing with the bonus ques
ton, said tonight after a visit to the
,, White House that Mr.. Harding still
was of the opinion that the legisla
tion either should be financed by &
sales tax or postponed,

sby the American Trust Compa-
ny of Charlotte, which at the sale
brought only $15,7OO.O0 was affirm
ed. The court held that the prop
erty was held in trust and that it
was bought in at grossly Inadequate
price and the plaintiff was given a
Judgment for $2O,344.OO.
The cuort besides that a proprie-
tor of an industry or business must
have certain rules by which his en-
pIoyees may be rendered immune as
far as possible from danger. The
opinion is rendered in the case of a
man named Cook employed at a
saw mill of the Camp manufacturing
company who was hurt when another
employee started up a small engine
while Cook was endeavoring to re-
move a pine knot from the dust
chain. It was in evidence that it
main stationary until the plaintiff
gave signal to start. In this4case
no signal was ginev.
The court decides that the Nor
folk Southern is responsibel and must
pay it's proportionate part of the
pvaing along it's tracks in Kinston.
The court decires that a consignee
paying for goods shipepd on bill of
lading, finding such goods damaged,
may recover the value of the dam
ages from the consignor.
The court dismisses the writ of
injunction brought by the Mountain
Retreat Association against the
Mount Mitchell Railroad Company
on the ground that condemnatory
proceedings must be brought before
the clerk of the court of the countp
in which the suit originates and the
alleged damage is done.

LENOIR COUNTY HAS
EXTENSIVE ROAD PROGRAM

Kinston, Feb. 27.-The road-build-
ing program of Lenoir county is lone
of the most extensive ever entered
into by any individual county in this
state, and probably has rarely been
exceeded in the whole country" ac
cOrding to a statement issued here
by the county highway commission
report to the commission from it's en-
gineer, giving details of the construc-
tion work, which was made public.
''All of the roads will be turned over
to the state Immediately upon their
completion" it was stated.
The engineers report said 10 6-10
miles of the system had been COM
pleted at the last report, made March
10, 1921. To-day AZ 1910 miles of
pavement have been completed and
16 1-2 miles of concrete base laid
ahead, all of which is open to the
public so that now, during the win
ter months, when numerous roads in
other sections are in an almost i'm
passable condition due to the storms
and heavy rains, Lenoir county has
over 5S miles of hard-surface on
which the public can travel with COM
fort and convenience to almost any
part of the county.
"On the Central highway, which is
being supervised by the state high
way commission, the portion through
La Grange from Kinston to the
Wayne county line, Is 3-1OO miles
long, has been completed; while on
the portion from Kinston to the
Craven county line, 7-SS-1OO miles
long, all of the concrete foundation
has been laid and it is anticipated
that the asphalt surface will be COM
pleted within the next 80 days"
Work was stated to have progress
ed satisfactorily on every main road
out of Kinston, and several to be
nearly completed.
Two complete asphalt plants are
IN operation" The work of the con-
tractors was declared to be Every sat
lfactory.' The indications "are that
oy midsummer the principal high
ways will be completed, thereby max
ing Lenoir county one of the best
paved counties in the United States
The highway commission is COM
posed of Ernest V. Webb, D. E.
wood, of La Grange, and Harvey
u Hines. Webb, tobacco exporter of
tnls city,. supervised construction of
hlnston's street system as an unsa1-
AIRED commissioner. He was chosen
chairman of the county commission
because of his experience with the
municipal work. Wood was formerly
good roads champion on the board
VI county commissioners. Hines, Sec
ietary of the commission, is prom
inent local business man. Lenoir's s
4 road work, completed, under con-
structionl and projected, will cost ap-
eroximat ely $4,000, 900. =

HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE?

HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE?
The Miami Herald stoutly main
tains that it is perfectly proper and
right for railroads in Florida to
charge more for service than other
roads in other parts of the country
are allowed to charge. 1t was talk
ing specifically about it's own rail-
road, the Flagler system, but it adj
mits that "the rates now in force on
the Florida East Coast railroad are
the same. mile for mile, as those in
force on other roads of the state"
If it were only the Florida east
coast people who were affected by
the unfair discriminatory rates
charged in this state, it would not be
the business of The Tribune to in
terfere, but all the state being affect
ed by these rates, the discrimination
comes home to all of us, and is just
cause for interference by every pa
per.
The Herald speaks of the rates be-
tween Miami and Jacksonville as
with those from the north
to Jacksonville, admits they are
much higher, and says:

General Palmer gives the facts as

died by him as alien property custo-
dian; referring to the Bosch Magne-
to case he said:
"The Bosch Magnetic company was
German to the core. Before we en-
tered the war it's management vlolat-
ed our neutrality in the most infa-
nous fashion. It's officers sought to
conceal its true ownership behind a
camouflage of German-American
stockholders. They finally made
sworn report, however, declaring all
the stock to be enemy owned, and l
thereupon took charge of the COM
pany. In the investigation as to its
ownership Otto Helms, representing
the German owners, declared its val
ue to be $3,5OO,OO0 Its stock was
finally sold through my direction at

wide advertisement, for 81, 100000 to

largely undeveloped country. 1t does
not have a vast amount Of freight to
handle. On the average it has only
one-way haul. Consequently, it is
an equitable proposition that that
road is entitled to higher rate than
is the one which is operated in a
wealthy and populous section"
And yet, less than week ago, The
Miami Herald delivered logical
and scathing editorial rebuke to the
editor of The Punta Gorda Herald for
declaring Florida does not need more
settlers, more business and more &C
commodatiens for the people!
The argument of The Herald re-
solves itself into this: That the
railroad in question is content with
the business it is getting at the high
err rate it is able to charge because
of the business it is getting.
Why should that railroad want to
carry two tons when it can get, fro
the carrying of one ton, almost as
much as the two tons would return
under an adjusted railroad compen-
sation law?
Why should a railroad encourage
more settlers to produce more freight
when it would mean the railroad
would have to dig up more equip
ment to carry that added business?
Why shouldn't road keep the
one-way haul condition when it is
satisfied with the returns from that
one-way haul is nearly or quite as
remunerative as the round trip other
successful roads have to make?
Another point has been overlooked
by The Herald, also. Do the rail
roads exist merely for the purpose OF
earning "what the courts would say
was a fair return on the actual val
ue of the property" Or do they ex-
list as carriers of commerce between
states, and sections of the country
Assuming that they exist partly
: for the benefit and upbuilding of the
section through which they pass, il
appears that spirit of give and
take should exist between the public
and the road That, looking forward
to the time when business for the
road will be greater, the road woulC
lend itself partly at least to the as.
sistance of the people who are trying
to produce that greater freight bust
ness for the roads.
No one forced the East Coast rail.

When The Herald spoke of Hon.
Adrian P. Jordan, of Punta Gorda, as
"Florida's last reactionary," it did
an injustice to itself, The Herald
should take look in the office mir
ror, and then write an apology to Mr..
Jordan.-Tampa Tribune.
