ORGANIZATION

Richmond, Va. May 5--Gov-
ernor Henry c. Stuart, of Elk
Garden, Russell county, is presi-
dent ofthe organization formed
here and known as the Pay-As-
You. Go Road Association. 1t is
a statewide affair. Governor Stu
art was here for short time
Friday, and when asked for a
statement linrriedly dictated the
following, saying he would give
prepared outline of the associ-
alton at an early date:
1T is our purpose to present to
he public all the facts bearing
on the question of construction
and financing OF the state high
way system as defined by the
General Assembly. There is no
disa greement with the bond adj
vocates on the advantage, and
indeed the uecessitv for good
roads, but there is and will be
uptill decided by the voters diff
ference as to the safest and best
way to finance the proposition.
"The Pay-As-You-Go Associ-
alton will devote its energies to
disseminating facts and correct
ing errors with view to placing
the issue before the people OH
basis Of sound business, free
from consideration of private
interests or pride of preconceived
opinions. There can be no doubt
that there is rapidly grow
ing opposition to the policy OF
piling up a huge debt on the
state for road construction in the
face of positive demonstration
by the governor OF Virginia,
corroborated by the auditor, by
the State Highway Commission
er and the state accountant that
all the work proposed and urged
By the bond advocates can be
done within a period Of only two
years longer than that which
would be necessarily consumed
under the bond system.
In the first case, we would
have tile roads paid for and the
state would have her taxable
resources to draw on for mainten-
ance and expansion OF lhe system,
In the second case, that of the
bond system. we would have the
tail end of the state system COM
pleted two and certainly not
more than three years sooner,
but along with the roads a min
inum of SIS, 900, 900 debt. count
ing the present state debt, he
interest on which, together with
the sinking fund will mortgage
for this and two or three gener-
ations the reasonable sources OF |
revenue of the state.
1.-The people are aroused to |
the fact that the propensity to
go in debt, public and private,
has already carried the people
too far. The day of reckoning is
already looming up before them
and admonishes us all to a policy
Of prudent husbandry of our re-
sources"

and American opposition. Moreover
it is indicated that he was gradually
preparing the French public mine
for some modification of his policy
when Secretary Hughes, because Of
apparent French reluctance to CO.
operate. terminated discussion of the
Hughes proposal for a Preparations
solution.
That Poincare was both surprised
and distressed at the quick action
of the state department became evil
dent when he offered a solution of
his own. This change of heart by
Poincare was discovered by American
business representatives in France,
and resulted in favorable action by
the state department on the Poincare
proposal, that explains. too, the
optimism felt in the financial district
here that the pending Preparations
negotiations will accomplish definite
results.
American business men have been

a business proposition that should
be handled by business men in a

diplomatic issue, banded about at

politics bring in attempts at solving

From, the American point of view,
Dwight 4forrow of Morgan and Com
pany, who is a close personal friend
of Preside Coolidge, probably de-
serves major credit for bringing about
the present hopeful change in the
Preparations outlook. The work is be-
