GOVERNOR WANTS GOOD ROADS [Continued from First I'atre.J Governor. "Is direct taxation the l>roper thing? If so, let's have it; nhow ns how it should be levied. I Htill believe that no farmer's tax would have been raised one cent under the 550.000.000 bond issue." The Gov ernor also asked if the money could he taken from the current revenues to improve roads and said that In spite oi' admonitions legislators were prone to make appropriations in ex cess of revenues. The chief speaker of the morning was E. A. Jones, Deputy Highway Commissioner, who discussed good roads and their relation to the farmer. Tener Calls on the Farmers to Tell About the Highways l When Governor Tener assumed the fhair to preside at the opening ses sion he made brief remarks which he later emphasized in introducing other speakers. His keynote was that the officials of the State government are in office to work, that they are work ing, and that they will appreciate being told how to work—being, told what the citizens of the State desire. The strong point In his remarks was what he said about highway improve ment. The general program for the board's meeting, principally composed of ad dresses by heads of State departments, to show how the various branches of the work are intimately connected "with the welfare of the farmer, was remarked by the Governor, and then he continued: "The impression which widely pre vails that State officials have a sine cure is a false one. Administration officers are here to work. Not only do they put in the time at their desks, hut they have something to do all the time they are there. One and all, they have a high sense of the duties of their respective offices and they are striving their best to accomplish their work." Reference was then made by the Governor to the progressive work of the Republican Legislature last win ter. He enumerated the various road bills, the women's labor bill, the pub lic service company law and others, [1 welling particularly upon the public service company law as an act which guarantees every citizen fair play from the corporations, and vice versa. "As for the subject of good roads," Continued Mr. Tener, "the people ihowed at the last election that they evidently did not approve a bond issue is the correct method for raising nonty for this purpose. Now, if the State Board of Agriculture or any >ther body has a better plan, please et us have it. If our roads are to be rnproved and are to be maintained ifter they are improved, you must see o it that money is provided for that >urpose, particularly to carry out the >rovislons of the Sproul law. And et us especially have money for the )roper construction and the proper :are of roads. Ib direct taxation the >roper thing? If so, let us have it: how us just how It should be levied. still believe that no farmer's tax vould have been raised one cent un ler the proposed $50,000,000 bond ssue which was defeated last Novem >er, and there are many people, of ourse, who object to a raise In tax or such a purpose, and a direct tax night not, therefore, be popular. Let « remember, too, that at the present ime not a cent of tax is levied upon ersonal property for road purposes, j'l trust you will give this matter our most serious consideration and I m hopeful that an acceptable solu ion of the problem will be found." The agriculturists were so Impressed rith the remarks of Governor Tener nd the other speakers of the morning rho touched upon roads that before tie noon recess the chair was author ted to name a committee of five to onsult with Highway Commissioner Hgelow on the subject of approprla ons and other road matters and re ort to-morrow afternoon. Opposi on to this was at first expressed be ause of the short time, but this op osltion was withdrawn when B.

Tyson, of Floradale, po mologlst, and Dr. William Frear, of State College, chemist. Road Report Says the Greatest Trouble Is Lack of Knowledge Reporting: for the committee on roads and road laws. Chairman Calvin H. DeWltt, of Mansfleld, said the greatest lack to-day Is knowledge of just what to do and how to do it. Sup port of the Highway Commissioner by the public is essential, he said, "but are we doing this or are some of us playing penny politics to the detri ment of the roads?" Mr. DeWltt said that In Tioga county progress is being made. "Give our district superintend ent money and he'll make good," he declared. "This will be true of the State as a whole if we all unite for good roads. Not a cent should be put into the roads, however, until pro vision is made for repair -and main tenance." Governor Toner, discussing the re port, urged the board, before final adjournment, to take some definite action on the road question. "We want to know what you want and what you think," he said. "We have a comprehensive plan. A plan of finances was proposed which was not acceptable. Can we take the money from current revenues? And, if so, how much? And where shall we get it?" He concluded by briefly rehears ing the legislative habit of making ap propriations far in excess of revenues. Roads and Relation to Country Life Broadly Discussed That it is idle to devote time, money and labor toward increasing the pro duction of farm products while ignor ing the most available method of transporting those same products to the market where they would bring the highest price, was argued by Mr. Jones in his address on "The Relation of Good Roads to Agriculture." He declared that it was but a wasteful extravagance to produce great crops, garner them Into bulging barns, there to decay, while, In the cities, multi tudes ol' men and women were hun gering because the abundant harvest could not be made accessible to them at a cost which they could meet. Mr. Jones stated that good roads would exert a two-fold influence in reducing the cost of farm products to the con sumer; first, by increasing the supplv in the markets of cities, and secondly, by reducing the transportation cost. In opening Mr. Jones said that he understood the subject assigned to him to be the relation of good roads to tho commercial success of the agri culturist and declared that In this aspect of the subject the relationship was so close that good roads and the prosperity of the farmer were wholly Interdependent. He drew attention to the fact that people in cities were de pendent upon the farm for their means of sustenance and that as the cities grow in population they must solve the economic problem as to how the farm produce shall be made ac cessible to them. The *-agon road was the first line of communication, he said, and it Is yet first in importance. Even when the railroad runs through the farming country there is to be considered the hauling of the produce from the farm to the staUon. Whether this transportation to city direct or to railroad rtatlon is to be made by horse-drawn vehicles or by motor cars, the condition of the road over which the haul is to be made be comes a vital factor in the cost, Mr. Jones declared? adding that bad roads raised the ultimate cost to the con sumer In two ways, first by necessi tating lighter loads and secondly by increasing the cost of the upkeep ot the vehicles used. In conclusion Mr. Jones said: "Hard, smooth, substantial roads are not a luxury; they are as much a necessary element in the problem of feeding the people as is agriculture itself. The producing farm and the good road from that farm are In separable—the one Is useless without the other. The relation Is as oxygen to the human body, as hydrogen to water, as sunshine and rain to vege tation. The very thrift and energy of the farmer, aye, the very production of any farm, depends upon the facility afforded that production to move to its consumer. "The relationship established, the necessity exposed, the question pre sents Itself—who should carry the burden of costs of good roads. All should bear the burden of main tenance. The road is no longer a local Institution to be maintained by super visors and repaired by men who work upon them In lieu of paying cash for taxes. "A glance into the future discloses one thing we must quickly realize. The roads must be adopted as the highways of the State. The relation of good roads to agriculture is so vital that we may no longer expect the farm to rise to the requirements of the consuming public until an easv, cheap and ready outlet shall be pro vided for its crop. The time has come, the inevitable Is apparent, Penn sylvania must welcome and support the natural offspring of its oroblem of feeding the people, the State high ways." Dr. Dixon Says Farmers Let Vast Fortunes Run to Waste Every Year At the afternoon session of the Pennsylvania State Board of Agricul ture Dr. Samuel G. Dixon addressed i the meeting on the subject of the "Waters of the State." He stated that the farmers of Pennsylvania were los ing millions of dollars annually by allowing the drainage of their barn yards to waste away and flow into the streams to the detriment of the latter. Dr. Dixon said, in part: "It has | been estimated by the foremost au i thorities in this country on fertilizers ■ that the loss to the farmers of the United States from the absolute waste of liquid manure is $700,000,000 an | nually. Pennsylvania's proportion of ! this enormous loss is greater than the ! value of some of our most important I crops. Permitting the rains to dissolve | the nitrogen and carry it away takes i away four-fifths of the value of ma | nure as a fertilizer. "By permitting this liquid to flow into the streams or to sink Into the i soil in and around the barnyards it is j absolutely wasted and ns a result the i farmer must pay out cold cash for the i purchase of artificial fertilizers which I are far from being as satisfactory for this purpose as well-kept manure. Any farmer can well afford the labor necessary to retain this valuable liquid. Such work will give an imme diate return. A recent letter received in this department from an up-State farmer reads: 'The State Department of Health fellows came up here and they made me fix things up so that the drainage could not get Into the | streams. Well, I kicked like a steer, but they made me do It. Now, do you know that ever since 1 have been kicking myself because I did not do It long before, because the increased value of the manure has paid for the whole thing many times and to think I had been letting that stuff go to waste makes me mad'."

Then there was the danger, you see, of a wire falling across another and putting the system out of business." "Has the Western Union Company taken any steps at all toward remov ing its poles and wires?" "Yes, we haven't got so very many of them now except the distribution poles, and we're planning now to ex tend a conduit from Cameron to Front, street in Market. That will take care of one of our biggest trunks." Preparing Plans "When will this bo done?" "That I can't say, but we're prepar ing the plans now."

We think It should be done." "Will you say when the company expects to finish the removal of its poles and wires?" "No, I can't say that. It's nearly impossible, now, to fix such a time."

In the vicinity of Second, Third, Maclay, Kelker, and Peffer the | district is fed by conduit service. Then we go as far out on the Hill as Six teenth with a conduit. "We're gradually clearing away the poles and wires; have been for some time, and I think It's safe to say that the Bell Telephone Company of Penn sylvania doesn't have more than three poles standing In the central district T have mentioned."
