MORRISON, McKean County. Facts About the Road Law. There appears to be some sur prise that more interest is not taken in the improvement of the public roads under the recent leg islation in this State, says Phila delphia Press. An insignificant number of applications have been made for State aid, and some of these are without proper local authority. It is L'jo tally, however, to con clude anything from this. It is evident the law is not fully under stood, and the reluctance iu so many localities to the expenditure of any cash whatever in the work on roads is an obstacle. While the State will pay two-thirds of 4he cost of road building carried on under its supervision, one-sixth must be paid by the township, and one-sixth by the county. This makes necessary the expenditure of .some cash by the local authorities, where heretofore in many instances the citizens have worked out their road taxes by a few days' labor on the highways, from which little or no permanent value has been ob tained. What townships and counties may be called upon to pay in a year will depend of course, upon the number of miles of road buill *nd the cost per mile. Senator Roberts, of Montgomery one of tV of fMQf] law, and who is quite familiar with the question, does not think the cost per mile should ever exceed $5,000, exclusive of grading. He esti mates that ii is possible to keep within this limit if crushed stone -car. be delivered upon the road to be improved at a cost not exceed sl.2s cents a ton. ITe also ad vises that no township shall build more than one mile of road a year unless it is wealthy, but this is wholly a matter of discretion and finances. The proportion that a township would have to pay on a mile of road costing SSOOO would be $833, and a similar amount would be paid by the county. Some town whips would not feel this at all and could readily pay their share of several miles of road. There are many others that will never be willing to pay even this small pro portion for the work, and as they must tako the initiative if there is to be road improvement for them they are not likely to get much ad vantage from the recent legislation The benefits will come to the en terprising and progressive town hl 11po whose people are willing to vuj& fuw each year for permanent benefit. I lis likely to bo several years before the real advantages of the new law are well developed. The work can only be done gradually, Inn. when well started it will have most gratifying results, and it will be. a poor township indeed that does not make use of the generous provision for State aid in an im provement of so much importance. Don't Speculate. Tiie market for stocks is low - very low. There in presented a temptation for men with small in comes and savings to speculate. Don't do it. We are talking to those of small means who cannot afford to lose. Those who can are able to look after themselves. But there is this to be said: There are various standard stocks of railroads and corporations that have been paying dividends steadily. Such stocks can be depended upon. Therefore the market presents a kind of bargain table, and one with a little money can pick up a few shares at low rates, and profit in the end. l»ut don't make the mistake of speculating —buying on the mar gin. Pay your own shares out right and lay them away in a tin trunk and draw your dividends. The man with a few hundred dol lars can do that to advantage. When he owns his stock he need not bother about fluctuations brought about by influences wholly unconnected with the condition of the country. The country is all right. It is prosperous. Standard stocks are safe as a purchase for investment, and it is not probable that the time will soon come again when they can be bought to such advan tage. Meanwhile, let no one who has invested his savings in stocks that have proved to be good dividend payers become alarmed because prices have been hammered down aud sell what he has under the fear that the country is going to smash. The country, is not going to smash. —Philadelphia Inquire. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, August, 10 1903. Editor press:— Reports received recently from Bogota, to the effect that the Pan ama canal treaty will not be rati fied without amendment, are caus ing the President and the friends of the Panama canal no little anxiety. President Roosevelt, as do most persons sincerly in favor of a canal and familiar with all the conditions, regards the Panama route as by odds the most desirable for an interoeeanic canal and up to this time it has been believed that President Marroquin would find a way to effect the ratification of the treaty. It now appears that the representatives of the transcontinental railway com panies have been doing yoeman's work in Bogota and have succeed ed in pursuading the Colombians that the treaty, as framed and rati fied by the United States, will prove inimical to their interests. Of course the slightest amendment will necessitate the reconsideration by the United States Senate, which reconsideration will be at tended with as great difficulty as was the ratification. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, declares that he has his guns primed for another battle and that he can talk ever longer in opposition to the original ratification. As will be remember ed, only a special session with nothing to pervent its lasting all summer served to discourage the veteran Albamian last spring and he will be quick to appreciate that with a presidential campaign in prospect Congress would be unwill ing to prolong the approaching session for the sake of a dozen canals. The Senator from Ala bama also claims to have secured even greater support than lie had last spring and in view of this dubious prospect the President and the officials of the State Depart ment are much discouraged. One of the most important re sults of the postoffice investigation v\ ill be the concerted attempt wmch will be made by officials of the administration to secure Con gressional authority to completely reorganize the auditing service of the government. At present it is the custom to appoint an auditor for each department and in most instances such auditor is furnished offices in the department to which lie is assigned, lie is in no sense CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1903. a subordinate of tin- Secretary of such department, however, and at the .name time in removed from the direct supervision of the secretary of the Treasury. The new plan contemplates the erection of a building for the auditors, imme diately opposite the Treasury De partment, with which it will be connected by a tunnel. There all auditors will bo given office room and the condition will be to audit the accounts from a purely pro fessional standpoint, unbaised by the environment of the department incurring the expenses. At pres ent the auditor in each department has assumed powers out of all pro portion to the original intention of the makers of the existing law and to that fact is ascribed some of the scandalous corruption in the postal investigation. This now move has the approval of all the secretaries of the treasury and of the President. The Philadelphia Ledger says: John Wanainaker declared that the story that Senator (£uay would like to have him goto Congress representing the Fourth Congress ional District was almost too ab surd to discuss." Furthermore, Mr. Wanainaker said he would not accept any public office. The Typographical Uni- n has captured Washington there is au unusual demand for all kinds of "sticks." t t The republican leaders are not sorely worried over Senator Mor gan's announcement that the Ala bama democrats will not support Mr. Roosevelt for President, t t The news from the capital of the nation is very scarce at present, but it is only the lull before a storm. The coming session of Congress promises to be the most interesting held for many years. t X The fleet which attacked Bar Harbor, Maine, has been captured by the United States forces, and it is suspected the Bar Harbor mer maids had something to do with the captivating. t t The President has written to Governor Dutbin of Indiana a letterdenouncing lynching. Presi dent Roosevelt never hesitates to express himself in favor of right, regardless of the opinions of poli ticians or factious. t t The President is deeplyint erest ed in financial legislation but the gentlemen now in session in Provi dence, drafting a Senate financial bill, should remember that Mr. Roosevelt is not wedded to the idea of a bill pleasing only to the Wall Street interests. t X Mr. Gorman is back from Europe and has given several interviews to newspapermen. In substance Mr. Gorman says that it is too early to talk of a democratic presi dential nominee although "Barkis is willin," and that it is impossible to outline the issues so far in ad vance although he believes the Gorman homeopathic reform would win. 4 + Some papers are criticizing Gen eral Young for putting on the three stars while Miles still had a right to wear them.
