John X. Shaw said last night that it had
been known the county was obligated to
the commission, but inadequate records
had kept the latter from knowing the ex-
tent of the debt until the audit in February.
Several attempts to collect the money had
been made, he added.
Lacy Shaw said the only definite state
ment the county had received from the
State roads body was a letter in February
notifying the commissioners of the debt.
In letter accompanying the check.
Lacy Shaw said, Enclosed find check of
the treasurer of Montgomery County to the
order of the State Roads Commission in the
amount of $278,623.42, which are ten
dered in payment of the account of $780,
623.42, submitted by your commission for
the first time February 27, 1881. and COW
ering new state highway construction which
construction is to be paid for by Mont
gomery County bond issue or tax funds.
1.-THE amount of the within check, to-
eether with the $232, 900 1881 ALLEGATION
of the State road construction funds for
expenditure in Montgomery County, equals
the amount due the State Roads Commits
siun as per your letter of February 27, 1881.
Such credit in the amount of 1882 900,
representing this years State road con-
struction ALLEGATION, is herewith officially
and UNANIMOUSLY asked by all seven mem
beers of the Board of County Commissioners
of Montgomery County.
I'VE desire to officially advise your COM
mission that we never have been afforded
a sufficient opportunity to audit Or check
the records of your commission covering
the charges made against Montgomery
County for State road construction with
county funds during recent years, and we
respectfully request your commission to
allow us such an opportunity in the not
too distant future"
The president of the board said the cred
iting of the 1881 road ALLEGATION would not
mean that Montgomery County would be
without road program for the coming
year. A 100000 bond issue was author
lied for that purpose by the recent legisla-
ture, he said.

Lagoon a motion by G. Clinton Uhl,
chairman. Mr.. Lee and Mr. Lacy succeeded
Howard Bruce and John X Shaw, who had
served since January, 1929.
The minutes of the commission for the
meeting April % said the roads bod had
no knowledge of any substantial indebted
ness by Montgomery County until detailed
audit was completed in February, 1891, by
the commissions auditor. which discloses
this balance due of $275.640.72 for road
construction obligations up to December 81,
1925"
Mr.. William A. Cold, the commissions
auditor, due to fragmentary, insufficient
and inadequate records inherited by this
commission, had no knowledge of the exact
amount of this Indebtedness, although he
appreciated the fact that there was some
small balance due upon the completion of
several contracts. The completed audit
brought to him his first definite knowledge
of the extent of the Indebtedness.
Further" the minutes continued, that
the balance of $225.000 now due should
have been paid to the commission from
proceeds of bonds issued by Montgomery
County under authority of chapters 346
and SAT of the Acts of 1929 in accordance
with monthly billings of the cost of con-
struction which were forwarded to the
county commissioners"

A Splendid Gesture

Honorary degrees are rarely given to of lib
eral opinion. They usually reserved for persons
of assured stability and substantial pecuniary po
iitical achievement. Even Clarence Darrow has no
LII D. to embelish his entry in who's Who"
Hoover has score of honorary doctoraes. 1t is not
nrequently charged that honorary degrees given
as rewards to past donors as bait to those whom
the university hopes to shake down later.
Therefore, it is with great satisfaction that one
may note the granting of the doctor of laws degree
to that veteran liberal Professor Harry F. Ward of
Union Theological seminary. The degree was given
in the recent commencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. President Glenn Frank fear
lessly commended Dr. Wards services in the cause
of liberalism and social justice and particularly
praised him for his work as chairman of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union On this point he said:
"As chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union
you have valiantly defended those basic rights of
free speech free press and free association without
which neither scientific advance social progress
is possible.
Such a gesture this may shock those patrioteers
who have branded the Civil Liberties Union
adjunct of Soviet Russia, but it will do more than
anything else which happened during the recent
encement season to restore confidence in the intel
lectual independence of American higher learning.

Experts Not Wanted?

The administration Of President Hoover was well
coined as the dawn of new and scientific era in
government in which engineers, scientists and ex-
perts would the ship Of state the politicians be
sent to the galley. In view of recent events however
one begins to wonder if the expert aboard this ship
isn't about popular as was the late Mr. Jonah on
that leaky tramp schooner en- route to Tarsish.
The first inkling of the Hoover GOODNESS toward
perts the prompt filing in the White House waste
basket of a protest Of 900 economists against the
signing of the Hawley- Smoot tariff act. Then there
was the story of a similar fate that befell recon-
niendatons Of Colonel Arthur Woods Of the emer-
gency employment commission.
The expert Wickersham commission has not been
free from political tinkerng shown by the modified
report on prohibition and the shelving Of the Stern
Poak expert account of the Mooney-Billings trials
Finally there came the open charge by DR.. Ray o.
Hall, commerce department finance specialist that he
fired because refused to doctor his report in
the interest of political considerations.
Professor James Harvey Rogers of Yale sees in
all these incidents "a tendency apparent in WasEt
gton to hide expert findings behind false front of
political expedency." He wonders how long
of science will offer their services to a government
that ignores or misuses their reports
1--WE were led to believe this would be scientific
administration" said DR.. Rogers an interpreting the
data of experts it appears that often officials have
been guided by political considerations rather than
by scientific realism"
The criticism is serious Tired Of muddling through
with the politicians the people chose Hoover their
first expert in the White House in the hope and belief
that he would make their democracy intelligent If
ne has deserted his experts for the devious
way of the politicians the people may we'll feel
of betrayal
