That Equal Sum
(ODelika NeWsl

If that equal sum to each coun-.
ty" is to govern the expenditures
of our highway commissioners, we
would make note of the letting
of the contract for the piers and
approaches OF a bridge in Mont
gomery county to cost $249.995.05.
This does not include cost of the
steel bridge to set on those piers.
However, that share and share
alike program for each county will
not be carried out, and we cannot
say that we ever was solid" on
the proposal.

Should Play Square Game
(Sylacauga News)

\SylacduBa NeWS)
Soldiers who went abroad were
paid $1.10 a day, while those who
served in this country were paid
only 81 a day. Their brothers and
cousins who did not go into the
army or navy received from SIS to
$50 day, or several times as much
as they had ever made before in
their lives. Big business opposes
the bonus because big business
fears 1t would have to pay few
dollars more in taxation. although
big business profited more than
any other agency as result OF the
war. Big business should be con-
sistent and approve the bonus, or
be equally consistent and do the
fighting when the next war comes.
Play square game--and pass the
bonus

Money For Cotton Mill


tScHlicfiiiC AACSot
Can this county raise a hun
bred thousand dollars for cot
ton mill? 1t can be done. But
the question Is, will it? That is
a lot of money, but mills are now
paying good dividend, and there
is money tied up in old socks and
in the banks that is drawing no
interest that could be put to work.

The two-cent tax on gasoline
during the month of October, the
first month it was collected
amounted to the neat sum Of
$12S,516. That is at the rate of
one and a half million dollars a
year. If this sum is intellisently
applied to the betterment Of the
states highways for few years
we should make consid era BILE
change in the matter of their i'm
provement. OF course. we need
ten times that sum annually for
the ext ten years If we are to ac-
com dish what we ought to have
in the way of state thoroughfares
Sooner or later it will take an
hundred million dollars to provide
the highways that we need and
thai would in the end prove . real
saving to the people.
