Jones Issues Warning
On Road Programme
Columbia, Jan. 12.?A warning?
ngainat incrt'ttHo of the .state's in<kbtetlness
for roud construction purpurea
"until the ttpeciarl motor vehicle
it* venue* prove themselvc* more fully"
was made Uxhiy by C\ Ph Jones,
chairman of the 'State Highway commission,
in resigning from tlie commission.
If Mr.,Jones carries out his
announced intention of resigning from
the commission he must <k> so to the
governor.
Citing the decrease in licenses issued
and the stnall increase in ga?oline
consumed, the chairmen said:
"My advice to this commission is
to go slow in requeuing the issuance
of fu11her bonds until the motor vehicle
revenues further prove themselves."
,
"While optimism with me is a
habit," Mr. Jones said further. "1 am
not s<> sanguine as to expect larger
motor vehicle revenues in I'J.'il than ,
those received in HJ.'ip. Jn fact, I
look for further declines. If the
motor vehicle revenues in I'J.'ll do- i
V 1
cline to any appreciable extent under
what was received in ID.'iO, the
revenue will not Im# sufficient to meet i
increased debt requirements and at I
t he same time satisfactorily main '
tain the roads of the state." i
Hechuing. he could not be "un- i
faithful to you wh<o have trusted i
me and to the people of Che state,"
he said:
"Therefore, I must warn against <
further increase of the state's in- i
debtedness for road construction '
purposes until the special motor v - j
iiicle revenues prove themselves more I
fully."

There's A Reason
1 saw a piece in the paper t lie oth< r
day that said in part: "The coicmercial
eredit companies have wit stood
all of the terrible shocks of the
past few months of hard-times without
appreciable losses." As you know,
dear friends. :lvose credit companies
are the firm.- that took a mortgage
on our car* and radios and refrigerators
and machinery, and helped us
along and kept us riding and listening
and eating cool fo?*l.
The reason why those credit companies
have done so well is?they
always got pa first mortgage on you
stuff, after you had paid (probably;
about one-half of its value, and of
course that meant a mortgage <n
your earnings till the debt was paid,
or you'd have to give up the stuff
they had a claim oil. and that w<>u'd
have been terribly awful on you ami
your family. So they came first in
well as last.
Ami furthermore, the firm who
helped you made you promise to pay
an installment every month?regardless
of -i.kness, death, storm, fire
or brims' nr. And besides having i
inortgagt en you and the stuff i n
question!, they made the man who
sold it t<? you endorse and guarantee
t.ie paper. >o you see-?Alfonsy, yo i
nad to dtstri.y the property purcha-ed.
and you and the man you iKiught
the car radio ice box-piano from in. t
to nu b oke before the eredit cornpan;.
. ouId cot hurt.
I'r Tie. tern Goode told me last
week that ru* could not get a mortgage
on the pills he gave and thw
marry trips he made to see his sicK
patients while they were paying the
credit company with the money the.\
owed him. and my grocer lamented
the fact that much of his flour and
meat and sugar money went to those
wonderful finance corporations, and
that's possibly why they had not yet
suffered any ldsses of any consequence.
A few people will pay the man
who trusts them before they will
pay the man who won't trust any
last year. Nearly everybody I ever
body, but both of them moved off
knew was honest?(if they happened
to have more money than they needed)
-but it aee?n? that aome folks
don't oonaideil a debt an honest debt
unieaa they signed a mortgage netting
it forth. (At leaat, Uncle Joe
thinks ho.)
Some folks will' actually read a
newspaper on credit and forget about,
it. I know a man who thinka heS
xoing to heaven on credit. He's always
going to pay the preacher next
week. I guess he thipka salvation is
free, and mebbe it ia, but churches
and pianos and organs and song books
and repairs and insurance coat something.
All I've got to aay ia?I wish
I had ir big finance corporation- instead
of what "I is got," which 'ia
