|. CHURCH UNITY

"Despite modern mans conquest
over nature, he has not yet mas
tered his own lower nature" said
DR.. Mordecai Johnson, president OF
Howard, speaking before the Kappa
Mu society, at the forum in Library
Hall, last night.
"Revolting crimes perpetrated
daily and the threatening attitude
OF one nation to the other, point to
the great need for religious lead
ers," said DIR. Johnson.
He sketched the controversy
about the authenticity Of the Bible
and said that he willingly admitted
room for differences of opinion in
matters of infallibilitty. yet it re-
mained the greatest moral guide Of
the ages.
That denominational differences
would disappear in America through
the growth Of community life, and
the tendency to merge sm..n units
into larger and more powerful ones,
was predicted by DR.. johnson, who
said that churches must combine for
more economic and efficient work.
Great religious leaders would be
needed as much as great business
executives for big business, was as
serted to be the outcome of such con.
dtiions Of modern life.

DOUBLE ROAD COST
PAID BY MOTORISTS
BAD ROAD TAX LEVIED THIS
MONTH GREATER THAN YEARS
GOOD ROADS FEE

Did you ever pay bill tWlceE
Mad" would be a mild word for your
feelings. If you had to pay taxes
twice, you would take steps to see
that someone went to Jail. Yet lot
of st. Louis county car owners are
paying their auto taxes second time
this month, according to Highway
bulletin.
In February they paid for new Ii
censes-that was good road tax.
This month they are paying a bad
road tax. Some of them pay it one
way and some another. Some know
they pay big tax for bad roads and
some pay it without knowing it.
Those who try to travel through bad
roads have a pretty definite idea OF
what the bad roads tax amounts to-
Many car owners on single trip have
paid more for pull-outs, extra gaso-
line, repairs, chains, cleaning the car,
getting their clothes cleaned, and
other expenses, than they pay for
their years license.
Some avoid this bad road tax by
leaving the car at home, but they pay
the bad road tax in different form.
Inability to use the car may mean loss
of an important business engagement.
1t may mean using other vehicles
which take more time and cost more
per mile. 1t may mean inability to
get needed supplies. To a farmer it
may mean a waste of periShable pro-
ducts when they cannot be marketed
regularly. To a merchant it often
means several weeks of slack business.
Tn Of eli hod
roads may involve dangers which can
not be calculated in dollars and cents.
So whether you stay home or try
to travel, you are sure to pay the bad
roads tax. If you do not pay it di-
rectly you pay it indirectly. The to-
tai of the bad roads taxes in Mime
sofa is probably many times as great
as the total of the license and gas
taxes collected by the state during
the year.
Before we had the trunk highway
system, we took it as a matter of
course that automobile trips were off
whenever it rained or showed, sum-
mer or winter. With the construc-
ton and maintenance done on the
trunk routes during the past eight
years, these highways are now practi-
cally 100 per cent passable all thru
the summer and fall, and nearly so
during the winter, but during the
spring many of the unpaved routes
are impossible and others are re-
stricted to light passenger cars.
Now that the motor vehicle is used
by almost everyone for transporting
himself and his family, and most of
the things we produce or consume,
our whole business routine is pretty
much upset when roads become i'm
passable during the spring breakup
We will never get the full benefit of
our highway system until we can use
it 365 days in the year. This will
require paving many of the heavy
traffic routes, and grading, draining,
crawling and perhaps oiling or tar
ring many others. All this will cost
money but it will cost less than we are
paying for bad roads at present.
