PRESIDENT HARDING
FRIEND OF GOOD ROADS
Believed In Federal Participation In
Construction

The late Warren G. Harding. Presi-
dent OF the United States, thought as
clearly and as logically upon the great
question of road construction and i'm
pnovement as he did upon other public
questions for far-reaching Importance.
Now that death has added emphasis
to the words of wisdom he uttered. if
IS well to recall his pronouncement in
regard to roads. In his first message
to Congress, Mr.. Harding said:
Transportation over the highways
is little less important (referring to
the rallways) but the problems relate
to construction and development and
deserve your most earnest attention.
because we are laying a foundation
for long time to come, and the Gre
alton is very difficult TO visualize in
its great possibilities.
The highways are not only feed
ers to the railroads and afford relief
from their local burdens, they are
actually lines of motor traffic in inter
state commerce. They are the smaller
arteries of the larger portion of our
commerce, and the motor car has be-
come an indispensable instrument in
our political, social, and industrial
life.
There IS begun a new era in high
way construction the outlay for which
runs far into hundreds of millions
OF dollars. Bond issues by road dis
trcts, counties, and states mount to
enormous figures and the country is
facing such an outlay that it is vital
that every effort shall be directed
against wasted effort and unjustifiable
expenditure.
The Federal government can place
no inhibition on the expenditure in
the several states; but, since Congress
has embarked upon a policy of assist
ng the states in highway improve
ment, wisely, l believe, it can assert a
wholly becoming influence in shaping
policy.
with the principle of Federal par
ticipation acceptably established, prob
ably never to be abandoned, it is i'm
portant to exert Federal influence in
developing comprehensive plans look
ng to the promotion of commerce
and apply our expenditure in the sur
est way to guarantee public return
for money expended"

NOT ENTITLED
TO COMMISSION ON
EDUCATIONAL TAX

According to decision rendered by
the Georgia Supreme Court, county
tax receiver is not entitled to a COM
mission on a countrywide tax levy for
school purposes. The case in point
was brought by tax receiver J. E.
Drake of Decatur County against the
Board OF Education of that county.
In its decision the Supreme court
holds: "thai provision is made for the
payment OF the tax collector, who
computes the taxes and actually col
lects them, but such collections add
nothing to the work of the Tax Re
ceiver."

Subscription payments have beer
coming in fast this week. In fact
we have been so busy recording the
payments that we have not had
time to revise the list and remove
the names of those who are still In
arrears. Perhaps this is just as
well, for the payments are still
coming in, and it may be that by
next week there will be no more
delinquent subscribers everybody
may be paid in full.
Again, for still another reason,
we think it best to wait till next
week to remove the names of the
few who are still in arrears. We
didn't get the statements in the mail
