QUICK WORk-BUT

Repairing amiesite street paving is one Of those jobs which remind one of the of Ag'in, On Ae'in, Gone Ag'in. Finnigan" poem. Scarcely had an item appeared in this paper that the Hall company would repair the amiesite top along the new West Main street paving when the Hall company is gone ag'in" along that thorough fare. It's all over. The top once again is as smooth as a board.
 It's shame that it was neces- sary to do repair work along here so soon after 1t was put down, but with these trucks and their non skid chains during the winter it $ mighty tough on the pavement" re- marked one of the officials Of the concern. Trucr words were never spoken. If this travel continues. steel pavements may not be out of inc question. according to the same official.
 A little analysis Of conditions along West Main street bring 10 light an interesting If not vital point. It appears plain to those eyes oyen unadorned with spectacles that the presence of the car tracks has an evil influence along the highway. It can be noticed that most of the travel is concentrated T foot or so to the right Of the car tracks; that is 10 say. going west the autos and trucks just natural ly graytate to a restricted rut a foot 10 the right of the tracks; and the same thing pertains going east. The result: \ terrible onslaught up- on the pavement alongside the car tracks.
 Autoists, as if by instinct, drive q foot to the right oi the tracks; 1t IS one ot the problems that it would take q psychoanalyst 10 explain. 1t R not a theory. but condition, with which the city is confronted.
 According 10 the present amended law the street car company does not need 10 pave more than a short distance on each side of the car racks: tho law was amended be cause f was shown to the satiSfac- lion of the learned Legislature that it vas unjust 70 expect the poor 5or pavement further distant than hat along the sides Of tracks Jt wJs another of those splendid vic- tories fer the street car interests.

Yet. under the law. the trolley com pany is relieved of all responsibility except for the small area alongside it's rails.

PROGRESS IN LITTLE RHODY

The Rhode Island constitution dates from 1S42 and it stipulatcs that only persons possessing sl34 worth Of land are allowed to vote on questions Of taxation. A person not owning land can vote for state officers, for the mayor or sclectmcn, but cannot vote for municipal off cers who appropriate money; or if he lives in town, he cannot par tcipate in the town meeting dccid- ing financial questions. A fine, anti quated law, we'll say.
 Under such 18th century doctrine a landless person who owned securi- ties, had money in the bank, and had a substantial income generally from his participation in corpora tion activities, would be denied the right to vote on taxation matters He would be a heavy tax payer, true: but. you see, he wouldn't be owning land.
 Rhode Island is trying to do away with this ancient system. It has be- come an industrial commonwealth in which thousands find themselves disfranchised in regard 10 taxation matters, yet every last one Of them pays taxes In some form directly or indirectly.
 The problem Is not without Its racial complexities. however, The Springfield Republican, while agree ing the sl5I property qualification is a remnant from tnc 18th century, prints this Illuminating paragraphs: "In recent years the retention or the property qualification for voting on tax questions has had the practical effect in cer-

CONFIDENCE

The whole fabric of human life
finds its strongest support in faith.
AS far back as early Bible times,
it was written that "the just shall
live by faith" and on down through
the succeeding ages the same prin-
ciple has given proof of its sound
ness.
Faith breeds confidence and con-
fdence is like the air we breathe.
We cannot do without it.. Bust
ness confidence is considered by
wise managers of great undertake
ms an absolute essential to sue
cess. Destroy confidence and a fl
nancial panic ensues. Without
this confidence Of which we speak,
homes break to pieces and fami-
lies are scattered, banks fail and
close their doors, business goes to
the wall and receivers r of ne
cessity appointed to close out the
dead concern, governments cease
to function properly and the found
ations of civilization tremble and
sometimes fall. How essential,
then, it seems to be for us to en-
courage and cultivate complete con-
idence or faith in one another.
Confidence in ones self seems to
be the basis of all 1t
measures the height of personal
attainment. One never success
fully steps out into the unknown
channels without having first made
arrangements with faith to accom
pany him. Lack this support and
your plans will run amuck and you
will surrender to fear. Every
step we take from the cradle to
the grave calls for a faith that
will not shrink.
Confidence in our fellow man is
the mortar of society. 1t draws
individuals and communities into
closer relationship and makes the
erection of the social structure
possible. 1t is the framework of
character around which moral
stamina is builded. This would be
a dark old world in which to live
if we were to dispossess conf
1ence. If we would take time to
inventory our daily activities we
find that from the time we
rise in the morning until we enter
Sunderland at night our whole
has been by aid of con-
f1dence. This being true how i'm
portant it is that, wherever our
lot in life happens to be cast, we
should not lose sight of confidence, !
the child of faith.-National Farm

CREDIT DEPENDS UPON IN
STRANGE

"It is a common saying, yet a
true one, that money talks" says
T. Alfred Fleming, of The National
Board of Fire Underwriters. "Yet
in the market places there is one
voice which speaks in a more com
handing tone. 1t is the voice of
credit. Ninety-seven per cent of
the commerce of the world today
is carried on on credit, and only
three per cent on cash.
"There r four elements to pro-
perly established credit-Charac-
ter, Capacity, Capital and Cover

characters are inherently good or
bad and are not always to be de-
pended upon. The capacity of men
differs with their education, train
ing and personal attainments.
Capital OF collateral is always sub
ject to the change of fortune.
For it's integrity capital is de-
pendent upon protection against
disaster in any of its familiar
forms; therefore, commercial cred
it never is wisely extended unless
it is based upon its fourth essen
tial, which is coverage or fire in

Fire insurance, therefore, is

credit and commercial system, and
upon it depends the permanence
of our modern material civiliza-
