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. F.
lillam, of Pike, who offered the mo
on, pointed out that the committee
an easily be continued, if desired, to
sport at a future time. Vice-Presl

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'."

wires are being removed. 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."
The Western Union, according to
Mr. Calhoun, has been thinking of re
moving its poles and wires for some
time, Mr. Calhoun said:
"Oh, we've been thinking about It
for a year. We think It should be
done."
"Will you say when the company
expects to finish the removal of its
poles and wires?"
