A State Asphalt Plant

Representative Jesse Shanks of Lamar
county has advanced in the state legislature
a plan for the construction of state-owned as
phalt plants for road construction which
seems to us both simple and highly intelli-
gent in outline. Mr.. Shanks points out that
many Mississippi oil wells. particularly in
Baxter field, have been abandoned as oil
producers because of high asphalt content
The Shanks plan goes back to the old maxim
that 1T is an ill-wind that blows nobody
good The asphalt which makes the oil
thick and gummy and useless for motor
fuel, is exactly the same asphalt that Missis-
sippi needs and must pay for by the thous-
ands of tons each year to build and repair
its roads. Mr.. Shanks argues that the state
therefore could make a profitable and eco
nomic' deal by buying in some of these aban-
oned wells, spending a little of the $685. 600. 900
surplus for an asphalt plant, and begin to

beete-chewer is a broadminded
fellow with a strong stomach who
will chew a beetle, a mouse, a
roach or a foreign obstacle as
he is called upon to do SO by
the defense. If a man is suing
a bottling company for $4,000
because he was shocked and hor-
flied and made permanently
weak-minded by finding a mouse
in a pop-bottle, the defense at
torney may find it necessary, in
order to eounteract the sweat
and tears Of the plaintiffs law
yer, TO call the beetle-chewer to
the witness stand in company
with a mouse. The defense demon
strates to the jury beyond any
question Of doubt, that they are
looking at a man on one hand,
and a mouse on the other. Then

Last week some fellow who
works for an enclopedia com

ed US for permission to use a
little anecdote from this col
umn in a book he is collect

The story was the one about our
cousin who works as a pilot on
the river, and the experience
he had some years ago with the
captain of n ,Japanese freiphter

produce its own asphalt out of good old Mis-
sissippi oil instead of paying millions for as
phalt to out-of-state dealers over the coming
years.
The plan seems sound and economic to us,
and a legitimate function of state government.
The state government is required to construct
roads and it needs asphalt to do the job. We
don't think the state should go into the oil
business, the bakery business, the candle
stick business; but the businesses it is re-
CURED by law to enter. such as road-making,
it should also try to conduct as economically
as possible, placing as light a burden as
possible on the general taxpayer. We have a
rich natural resource in our oil fields, and the
asphalt which ruins some of them for the oil
investors seems to us a boon to the state
r~oadbuilding program, and to the taxpayer.
A state expenditure for a plant TO manu-
facture its own asphalt would seem to us a
prime economy and a prudent investment
We congratulate Representative Shanks on
the Soundness and farsightedneSs of this plan.

on the ground and six people
pass it by, the seventh fellow
who picks it up is doing no
harm; as a matter of fact, he is
putting good money back in cir
culation, and perhaps the col
lectors and anthologists do d
similar service by putting stor-
les back in circulation. Marx
Twain was able TO write n Of
the most creative books in Amer
lean letters-"Life on the Mis-
sissippi"- by using the same
method. But there is a vast elf
ference between Marks method,
and ability, ana the business
minded collectors of today.
Marx gave shape and substance
and the h~igh-octane quality Of
his genius to every story he heard
and remembered on the Missis-
sippi river. The modern collec-
tors of other peoples narrative
lies, humor ana nonsense seem
to be on sure ground only when
they are dealing in what othel
people said. When they set out
to introduce a chapter with re-
marks and witticisms of their
own, they sound pretty dismal.
One is reminded Of the oft
repeated remark of the late Will

who had one OF the sharpest
tongues Of all. III you steal from
