DEMOCRACY AND DIPLOMACY

1t is deplorable, as tie House committee
on foreign affairs reports, that the United
States, the greatest democracy, restricts Sec
retaryships in the diplomatic service to the
members of small circle OF society who are
willing to provide from their private for
tunes for the support of their positions
abroad,
1t has always been deplorable, and it is
usually worse for the heads OF Our diplomatic
delegations abroad than it is for the secre-
taries Former Ambassador Davis testified
before the committee that when he was IN
london, living as moderately as he could, in
a time calling for modest living, his job cost
him every year about three times as much
as his salary.
1t NAV be all right as regards the men
who are willing to pay out OF their own
pockets for the privilege of entering the So
cial life of foreign capitals. But 1t greatly
restricts the available candidates, as tho
committee laments, making unavailable for
service large body of capable
yourg men of education and culture. 1t also
results in the two services which ought to
cooperate-thc diplomatic and consular
being kept rigidly apart.
The congressional idea seems always to
have been that it was "undemocratic' to pro-
vide diplomatic quarters abroad on the same
scale that other governments do. AS matter
of fact it turns out to be the very opposite

GOOD ROADS AND GAS BILLS

Assertions made by Frank A.
Page, North Cardinals State
Highway Commissioner, before
the Virginia Good Roads Asso-
citation in Roanoke, tend to show
that the automobile owners of
that State actually make money
by paying a tax on gasoline. In
1920 there was shipped into the
State 7S,997,S32 gallons of motor
fuel, and in that year 1f2,2S4
cars were licensed. In 1921, a
year OF business depression, the
shipments of gasoline hal fallen
10 73,442,96S gallons, while the
number of cars had increased 20
1l9,901. Last year, 1922, the re-
spectivc figures were S2,125,S6S
gallons and 1885. cars.
The gist of these figures is
that in 1920 each car consumed
an average of 500 gallons of gas
cline; in 1921, 100 gallons; in
1922 this had been reduced TO
400 gallons.
This was made possible by the
building Of good roads in 1921
and 1922, financed by bond is
sue Of $50,0O0,000. Since each
car cwner saved an average of
$11.75 4 year in his gas bill, it
follows that he made money by
paving a gasoline tax in 1922 Of
1853, or l cent a gallon on hil
average consumption.
In order to provide sufficient
funds to utilize the facilities of
the Highway Department in 1923,
the North Carolina Legislature
has already passed a bill au7
thorizing an additional bond is
sue of $15,000,000. The automo-
bile owner can pay tax up to
2 IL cents gallon in North
Carolina AMI still be better off on
his annual gasoline bill than be-
fore the bodybuilding program
started in 1921, not to mention
further sums he saves on oil.
tires and general repairs, because
he can drive over modern high
ways
Mr., Page further asserted that
in Roanoke this week, the price of
gasoline was 25 cents a gallon,
with no tax, while on the same

day in Raleigh, n. c., with /
cent a gallon tax, it was 20 20
p cents, and in Winston-Salem
20 70 % cents. The moral seems
to be that the price is tiXed on
Broadway, New York, FOR wide
areas. 1t costs more to distri-
butte motor fuel in Virginia be-
cause of poor roads.
It seems, therefore, that to
the mud tax. we in Virginia must
add the gasoline and c:l and tire
tax, because Of the condition of
our highways, and we pay it in
such way that the roads get
nothing from that source.-Rich-
