It may not quite- so easily as would a^?^?re x^mjpac't body,, but the different sec^As of tJe.,State^ with their divergent interests,, will be. better represented. The.plah tb have an executive of $ie commission Instead of Saving such duties performed by the engineer ought to be an improvement,, providing a good business admini^mtor can be had for the position, which- may K* 2 be possible, although the salafy, while * JKC* .V'v very good as state salaries rf go.'; ?; *yi,rig hardly sufficient to tempt a bnsihes$ i - - * mart of great capacity. : v . ..jsThrough county initiative the state as a whole is embarking on many big undertakings in the way of road buildj 7- % t- T > ing in which there will be many.,<q>j)portunities to waste money, throughgboth corruption and ignorance, 'lumbers of county delegations from. ve very sec) ,<* ,v; ? \ tion of the State are passing a&tfcrpro viding for bond issues for road pur?-/t. ' poses, and there will soon -he under way road building projects in. twothirds of the counties of the state. To supervise all of this work even in a superficial way, or even to advise and consult with the county officials having charge of these projects, will be a big task for the highway engineer and his corps of assistants; so that providing the department with an executive head to take care of the burden of office administration ought to be a help. Complaints are numerous about the difficulty experienced in obtaining license numbers for automobiles V and while the fault in many instances cannot justly be laid at the door, of the highway commission. still unless there is improvement a better method will have to be devised. As a matter of fact, there is so little relationship between the licensing of cars, which properly belongs to the tax department of the government, and the building ?r roads, that there is no special reason why such duty should devolve upon the highway department. The new highway bill has not yet become law-, having yet to be acted on. by the senate. Until it has passed v. a fromnt it io imnneriblo to say what its provisions will be, but it is hoped that a good workable law will be the final result. COMPULSORY MTLITARY SERVICE The decision of the military affairs committee of the hQuse of representatives of the national congress to report favorably upon a proposition to incorporate in the next military bill a system of compulsory military training will bring on one of the livliest discussions of the present session. It is a question upon which there is a considerable ^division of opinion in the country. So far as this newspaper is concerned, we are unalterably opposed to it. both on principle and as a matter of policy. On principle because it will, as we believe, prove dangerous to the long-cherished principles upon hich this , : nation was founded, and on grounds of policy bV cause-it is unnecessary and dangerous to the peace of this country and the world at large. Habits of thought as well as habits of the physical side -are easily formed, and it would take a shorter time than most people imagine to inculcate in the people of America a spirit of submission to military ideas and doctrines. One generation trained to abso*li?e and unquestioned obedience to authority, and the deadly work of militarism would ha.ve undermined the labor of many generations. Nothing else that could be done would sooner Prussianize the United States than the inauguration of univ-ersial military service. If we need to make our younger generation stronger and more, fit why not utilize the schools as physical training centers, eliminating the military feature? . j ' > [ !.J ( ; Compulsory military service is like-: ly to .be a live issue jin the nejtti presidential campaign. Proponents of such .-y a measure would do well to select General Wood as their standard bearer. He is in hearty sympathy with their ideals and ideas and would .make a good man to engraft the Prussian system on America. We don't need compulsory military service. It is to be hoped that the Southern Democrats in congress will stand unitedly against a measure so antagonistic to our theory of government and so dangerous to our peace and happiness. BUDUD BY~!BONDS. Taxes are going to be higher this next fall than ever before. Both state and county taxes have been increased. There seems hardly any way to get around the raise in taxes unless the state is to go backward. There is only one way that can now be seen by which the levy for state, tares can be again kept close to its former rate, and that is the floating of" a bond issue sufficient to take care of permanent improvements. Each year the general assembly has been voting large sums of money for the erection of permanent buildings at the various -state *eolleges, the hospital for the in-; sane and other institutions. All of these should be provided for by bond tissues inst^id\ of from:- ?&*rent reveMclJaWin has "introduced the legislature a bill pjffSwdftfg^fpir an 'issue of -three milKfeft dollars-^*!* bonds^^dr tlje purpose - of^>rovid^g;^ea^r^O-r thfc erection of such buildings, so as to relieve the general fund of the strain which such items have placed upon it. The bill should have the serious consideration I of the general assembly and of the people in case of its passage. ; ' 111 1 V Anyhow Mr. Lansing didn't say he cjuitin order to make a living. . v _ take .it that Mr. McAdoo does not believe in Leap year. , To show what a poor opinion some folks have of Texas Joe Bailey is going to run for governor this summer. As wo view it. Mr. Hoover doesn't care to much which party does the nominating, so long as he has a chance to save the country. Tne worm will turn. A New York millionaire is being sued because ho refused to pay $25 for a 14 pound ham. Mr. McAdoo's statement reminds us of speech made in reconstruction times by a "> candidate who said: "If elected 1 will serve, otherwise T will not." (. The Michigan rebellion against pro; hibition reminds us of our own Darlington riot of 1S92 and our own sweet-scented Chicco. South Carolina always leads. The Newberry Observer has a head line reading "sugar and liquor," a combination to be enjoyed only by the very wealthy.- The plutocratic ideas of some newspaper men passeth our understanding.
