Money for Good Roads.

Affairs are moving at more speed in congress
than is apparent on the surface. Thus, the pas
sage Of good roads bill authorizing an ap-
preparation OF $6s0OOOO0 for the year beginning
July and Of $7sOOO,OO0 for the following twelve
months, has escaped general attention. Most Of
the states will be enabled by this measure to
carry on their highway building programs as
planned, while some few will find curtailment
necessary.
Two new features of this federal aid plan are
worth mention. One authorizes participation
by the government in the expense Of construct
ing highways beneath railway tracks. Previously
only grade crossings and overhead crossings were
included in federal aid. The encouragement of
the abolition Of grade crossings may save many
motorists from wreck or death on these dan
gerous intersections. Another section provides
. penalty clause to guarantee road work and
prevent false statements as to costs or work
performed.
Good roads are becoming increasingly neees-

Democfa.s and the Tariff.

The minority report filed by Senator Sim

tariff measure is energeteally attacked. indi-

during the approaching campaign. Senator SIM

finance committee, and is directing the opposi-
,on to the measure in the senate along lines that
are expected TO bring the maximum OF effec, at
this The campaign has been we'll planned in adj
vance, and will be carried out in order.
In his report Senator Simmons resorts TO the
well worn argument that the tariff is simply All
inverted form OF taxation, whereby money is
taken from the people and given TO the favored
manufacturers. II this were true, il would ac-
complish little more than certain phases OF the
policy OF the late administration achieved. Those
who recall the effect Of the several DEGREES. emit
ted by Attorney General Palmer when he was
undertaking to regulate the price Of sugar will
appreciate the democratic idea. The senator's
position is not sound however.

American workmen at good wages, enabling them

at home the dollar that might otherwise go
abroad benefits everybody here.
This proposition will be attacked again, as it
has been in the past, by the free traders who will
demand admission to this country Of wares made
in Europe, simply because they are produced
there for less than they cost here. These special
lleaders make no note of the fact that the main
reason for the difference in cost is the better pay
OF the American workmen, nor do they tell us
what is to be done for the wage earners who will
be thrown out of employment when foreign
made wares displace the homemade in the home
market
1t is we'll enough to talk of the terrible tax
that will be imposed by the tariff but it will not
be forgotten that the Underwood free trade tariff,
which is now to be replaced, produced deficit
almost as formidable as. any tax might possibly
be. Many Of the voters yet recall the depression
and unemployment in 1914, idleness and bread
lines, the first fruits of the Wilson administration,
and will not be misled by the prediction of dis
astcr that is to follow when the republicans re-
store the protection Of the tariff to the industries
OF the United States Free trade has terrors far
more real than high tariff and good prices can
possibly hold for the workers and producers of
America.

Whittier Away, America I?

The lack of any coherent social philosophy is
one of the astounding conditions found in Amer
ica. Democracy should signify individuality, free
will and responsibility for the citizens. In spite
Of the essential nature of these characteristics
the aim is frequently diverted. To considerable
group democracy is taken to confer the right to
poke into other peoples affairs. This encourages
the contrary trend toward the view of anarchy,
that most laws can be dscarded-that the gov
ernment with the fewest laws is the best.
Both these points of view must be discarded
before the problem Of democratic government
can be fairly met. Americans must come to look
at the state as the way to freedom. Men and
women organize in their clubs and unions to
advantage themselves. Something Of the same
feeling should adhere to citizenship. Self help
is the best method of progress, and government
itself should be made nothing more than the col
lective means of self help.
There is unrest in America. 1t is being fed
by bitter partisan spite. The road to the ideal
lies through no such morass Of deception, hate
and hunger for office. Progress will be slow
enough in any event, but it can be accelerated
only if the public will not allow itself to be di-
verted from the broad path Of real democracy.
