motorist is getting back from inn
proved roads seven times as much as
he is paying for them. In other
words, his investment in West
Virginia roads is paying dividends Of
700 per cent.
But the motor vehicle owner is not
paying the full cost of improved
roads in West Virginia. All i'm
provements not on the state system
are paid for entirely by the general
property taxes. No automobile IL
cense money or gasoline tax money
goes toward the improvement of
county-district road. Also, all bond
issues by counties and districts thru
which money is voluntarily raised to
be expended on the state system
within those counties and districts,
are paid off by general property
taxes. Finally, all rights of way,
on the state system as well as on the
county system, are paid for
by taxes on general property.
Taking the cost of improved state,
county and district roads in West
Virginia as whole, up to the pres
ent time general property has paid
or is paying approximately one-half
and motor vehicles paid or are pay
ing the other half.
The state road law is occasionally
criticised as to the method by which
state road funds are distributed
among the counties, and because it
did not provide for the construction
of through routes prior to the con-
struction of roads within the various
counties.
1t is perhaps sufficient answer to
point out that when the road law was
passed in 1921, the vote in the House
of Delegates was IS for and one
againt, with six members absent.
the vote in the Senate was 30 for and
none against, with one memeer ab-
sent. Evidently, the law as it pass
ed appealed strongly to the elected
representatives Of the people Since
that time the legislature has held
two regular sessions, one in 1928 and
one in 1926, and no attempt has been
made to change any vital part Of tile
road law
The present season will be the most
impressive in the history Of the State
Road Commission, as construction
has progressed to the point where,
by making a few connections, the
cumulative results of the work Of the
last four years win become apparent
It was never possible, of course,
Tor the s50,o00,o 100000 to complete the
state road system Many important
connections will remain to be made
after this sum is exhausted and CON
siderable additional amount will be
required promptly if there is to be
no halt in state road construction.

New Way to Stop
Night Coughing
Simple Method Brings
Quick Relief

For almost instant relief from hack
ing, irritating, sleep-robbing night
coughing there is a very simple treat
ment which, often with single dose,
stops all irritation and permits sound
sleep the whole night through.
This treatment is based on the pre-
scription known as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Coughs. You simply take
one teaspoonful al bedtime and hold
it in the throat for Is or 20 seconds
before swallowing it. The prescription
has double action. II not only soothes
and heals soreness and irritation, but it
quickly removes the plllegm and con-
gestion which are the real cause Of
night coughing. People who have not
slept we'll for nights are often surprised
how quickly this simple method checks
coughing and banishes the entire
cough condition completely.
Dr.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse-
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic Group, etc.
Fine for children ais well as grown
ups -a o harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only ore teaspoon
full At ell good druggists Ask for

TO BEAUTIFY HIGHWAYS

a meeting was held last evening
in Gains Hall for the purpose Of
making a permanent organization
for the identifying the highways.
The officers elected are as follows:
0. H. Gall, chairman; Frank Row,
vice-chairman; T. E. Thompson, sec
rotary Mr.. Gray, landscape special
ist, and O. D. Sands, county agent
were present. A survey will be
made Thursday and Friday of the
State highway in this end of Barbour
county, and the committee appointed
consists of G. E. Cain, Mrs. ]. NJ.
McVicker, Mrs. c. A. BlalesIee, Ms.
Mamie Adams and G. F. Row. Mr..
Gray and Mr.. Sands and others will
be with them. They are to report
their findings to the permanent com
mittee; it is quite likely that the
Civic League and Kiwanis will each
take it upon themselves to do part Of
the work.
This move is in keeping with other
states and West Virginia does not
want to be backward about being in
the front line when it comes to beau
ty, because it's here and all that is
needed is organization. The main
highways viii have first attention
then the other roads viii come In
order.
