Chesterfield County has six or eight Army trucks, some of which are ' under shelter and some of which are s being gradually made useless, by 1 exposure to the weather. Some of i these trucks are being used at con- t siderable expense to the county with no appreciable good in return. When used to haul dust or sand to (ill up holes and washouts in the roads tune, 1 t energy and money are wasted. Such u repairs are of no benefit whatever, jj When used to scrape the surface of 3 the roads the benefit is of shorter du i ration than the time required for the work. In view of these facts it is u easy to see that in addition to the ex- ?] pense of operation, thousands of do]- / lars worth of trucks are being worn out ami rusted out without accomplishing anything. Meantime the taxpayers' money is running through a seive. Repairs of any permanency can only be made with gravel or more e expensive material. In this county fi gravel is plentiful, but requires con- ? siderable labor to extract and load h from the pits. At the present high p price of labor gravel cannot be profi- ii tably loaded by hand. This fact has a been proved for the past many years. t,( Chesterfield County has modern faci lines ior naming gravel, wny can sin r not have modern facilities for load- a ing it? tl A steam shovel, such as can be o purchased for a few thousand dollars, d will do the work of eighty men, equipped with picks and hand shovels, s Three men can operate it. It burns p wood, which is plentiful in the viei- b nity of nearly all gravel pits n With this epuipment added to our fleet of practically useless trucks many miles of permanent roads could be built for what we are now paying (j for nothing- j4] So, why not a steam shovel for Chesterfield County? j :? H THE PRESS IS HONORED Roth of the presidential nominees live in Ohio and both are newspap- R er men, each owning a newspaper. In his message of congratulations to u' Mr. Cox, Mr. Harding said a news- ss paper man would be the next presi- ' dent. He should have said a Democratic newspaper man will be the iirxt nruKifient. fl THE LAST DAY IN CONGRESS il" In the? closing hours of Conjrt'oss the Republicans in the Senate were t1 told some truth by Senate Harris, of || Georgia, that oui^ht to have maele si them blush had they been capable? of deiinjf so. He- had been trying for two vv years to tfet a bill reporter! out of the- -c Finance (Committee that would in- ,v vestijjate the profiteers. For one reason or another and for no reason the Finance Committee e>r its Republican majority put the bill to deep. They did not want an exploitation of the* j^reat pre>fits made by the corpor- ''' ations that are pilinir up fortunes 1,1 from the- necessities of the people. ir Senator Harris hail bee-n working for 11 months to brinjr his bill befor-- (Jon- ^ Kress and on the very last eiay, theelay of aeljournment, h?- talkeel very plainly without be-intr unparliarr.cn '' tary. ,u Whe-n Recti Smoot, of (Jtah, anil other Republican Senators were tryinjr to prevent the resolution of Sena ' te?r Harris from eominir before ''onKress and tin- country, Senator liar ris said: "I know there are Senators hero who are not only in sympathy with profiteers, but who do not want the people of this country to know the ,n profits made by those men. Many of 1,1 Ihi.o.. U. ... I? : I v.m/o* lin n wu^nv iu in* in JHII, flllU yi Senators on tins floor are by their methods and efforts keeping the people of this country from knowing what the profiteers have done." at Senator Harris moved the imme- "!? diate consideration of his hill but the v< leaders would not have it. P1 Replying to the su^estion that it woud cost something to investigate the profiteers Senator Harris said: "I know the profiteers are opposed to anything like this. They don't want publicity. They do not want the country to know what thy did during the V war in robbing the people. The magnitude of their unrighteous profits n run into countless millions compared with which the expense of this cor- he rective step is a trifle. One of the Fi profiteers dealing in a foodstuff ihat enters into the cost of living of e\ ery man, woman, and ' 'lild recently jfave $500,000 to the campaign fund ye of a candidate for President on the ha sic wa? adopted on the very last day f" the Session. Just before adjournment Senator | arrett, of Tennessee, replying to Vatements of Senator Mondell, made >me very pointed remarks. He said, yi "This Congress assembled here wi lore than a year aKO, facing prob- w: ms more tremendous than any oth- h?. r Congress in history had ever fac- m 1, the after-war problems of a great st ation, growing out of a great World th ^ar, but, unfortunately, all of the 30 pirit of support of the Government ra tat had been manifested during the 2 ays of the war itself, had been laid side when this Congress met. bt "From the hour it assembled and Pj egan its labors until now the majori- ta y of this Congress have proceeded in e\ heir activities upon a predicate of 31 ate. The inevitable result has been m hat upon the great things that chal- of en^ed the patriotism and the intel- or igence of the House there has been m absolute, a humiliating, and a to hameful failure. I "Tax laws! Why,you passed no tax T aws save a few bunk, popgun bills pj lesigned to affect a small section, Jo oinetimes as much as a small con- & sessional district, and sometimes on- ai y one or two counties in a congresional district. The last effort, ?. beieve, to reduce the high cost of livng was to lay a tax of $1.25 on teans." UPSHAW ON MCADOO Now that the Democratic Conven- L ion is over this statement by Con- o pressman Will D. Upshaw, of Geor- 3 :ia, of jui inerview with William G. lcAdoo is interesting and enlighten- F ng. Said Mr. Upshaw: B "While he didn't tell me he would () >r would not acecpt the nomination," D leclared Mr. Upshaw, "Secretary Mctdoo said that he fervently and de- C outly prayed that the democrats Si rould find another leader. Great M lumbers of letters and telegrams Pi t'ere piled high upon his desk?mis- E ives urgitig him to assume the lead rship for his party. One oi these was torn a woman, a working woman, who T< nclosed $10, and who characterized im as the best friend working peo- ? le have in public life. Another labor:ig man from Illinois sent him $100 nd urged him as the friend of labor , o stand for the presidency." t Mr. Upshaw quoted the former secetary of the treasury as saying: "1 m humbled beyond measure with hese appeals. I feel like going away If somewhere and praying God for ivine guidance." "I left his presence," said Mr. Uphaw, "impressed with his powerful ersonality, and feeling that 1 had een in the presence of a truly great lan." L SPLENDIDLY NULL L, The editor of Henry Ford's Indepen- q, ent makes some comments upon the p, ite Republican convention that, with- (p ut intending a pun, are very inependent. As to the nominee, Mr. jp larding, the paper says: The nominee is a man who was and CI till is practically unknown to the (p eople. He was unheralded in the p; rimaries, and was scarcely announc- p( d in the convention itself. These Tl 'ould almost mark him a man of estiny, were it not for other facts. T< lever has his word on a single af- S' ur been neard by tbe whole nation; C( ever even for an instant has he j ashed before the public eye in the ^ use of masterful leadership ;never on t, loral or economic issue has he tak11 an attitude that marked him out a f lan of conscientious independence. ( le has always been "icily regular, dendidly null." If you consult the dictionary you < ill lind "null" to be thus defined; Of no consequence or value, insistificant, amounting to nothing." A KANGAROO TICKET The New York Independent that is generally leaned to the Republican arty, in its editorial comments does >t seem to be impressed with Hardin as a presidential possibility. An rticle in that great journal intimates lat the wrong man heads the tick?that Coolidge is a bigger man than ardmg in other words, it is a Kanuroo tickt. If you don't know ex tly what a Kangaroo is look at the icture of one, you will see that its ad is very small. That seems to be )< opinion of the- Now York Indeundent. In Louisville, Kentucky, a man who ad run his auto over a woman and illed her was lined $'?<>. Kvidntly io price of human life is not keepig up with the High Cost of Living i Louisville.
