AGAIN CONFER Aroused From Our Peaceful Slumber By Fire Alarm Second Conference Asked for by President STUDYING TARIFF BILL Wilson Has This Careful Consideration for Several Committee Meets. WASHINGTON, April Wilson and Representative Underwood were In conference for hours the White tonight for the i ii over features of the pro- posed tariff revision. The confer- was asked for by President con, who had been studying the new tariff bill for several days and himself with many questions which controversy have been raised in the preparation of the Dem- revision measure. Other conference which to fol- low with Mr. Underwood and Sen- chairman of the finance committee, will the of the sugar, wool and agricultural schedules, so far as the party leaders can settle them, and will decide then whether one general bill or schedule bills shall be passed by the house. Tho opponents of free sugar, chiefly representing tho cane growing sec- of the south, have made strong representations to the President the last week, tho removal of the duty from that product, and the president has been weighing the upon this and other tariff questions. Since his first conference with Mr. President Wilson has gone over the tariff bill in Immediate de- tail with Secretary of the department of commerce, for tariff views he has high regard. It was not thought that any detailed rates would be under consideration at tonight's conference, but that the general questions as to the free ad- mission of raw materials and the ex- tent to which the duly should be re- moved from agricultural products articles largely consumed by tho pub- were fully. Efforts to bring the senate and the house In accord before the details of the new tariff bill becomes public are to be made late this week. Senator Simmons will ask In tho Senate finance committee meet Friday for the preliminary con of the tariff. Al that time it is thought that a copy the bill prepared by the house ways and means committee will be submitted to the senators considered In detail. Should the senate committee deter- mine that certain features of the bill will not be acceptable in the senate, efforts will be made to have the draft of the bill changed by the house com- or by the Democratic member- ship of the house when It meets In next week, so that house and senate may be brought a complete accord as possible In support of the house hill. one o'clock Tuesday night, the Are department called to the section of the town.

It ls true a bill was passed by the just adjourned, making some, slight changes in the details of elect- the road supervisors and the labor system, but Us main feature an increase of the road taxi from cents to cents on every of property and from to, cents on every poll, or In other words an Increase of 2-3 per cent, In the present road tax Of course, it to reason that any increase in the road fund will mean work on the roads, but taking Green- ville township as an example, 2-3 per cent increase In Its road tax would add to Its present fund only about and it Is. well known that little or no improvements could be made throughout the township with such a According to the sworn state- of tho county auditor the pres- of cents on the of property and cents on each polo will raise from the 1912 taxation and amount has given us no better roads than we had one. two or three years Will an In- crease of 2-3 per cent in the road added to our present fund do any materially for us In the way of permanent improvements Regard- the old system of working the roads following was made by the last Grand find that the Supervisors of public roads in most of the town- ships do not visit and Inspect the roads of the county as they are re- by law to do. Nor do give them that attention which they should receive; nor do they make their reports to the court as Is their duty to do. Only four townships submitted reports to this term of superior court, Green-1 Title, Beaver Dam and B 1-, In some of townships the Sup-1 report that the Overseers, take no Interest whatever in the pub lie roads and make no report to the supervisors. We think that some ac- should be taken by the authorities and this evil, for evil Is. should be remedied. We further state upon Information and observation that the general of the roads and public bridge, are in a deplorable condition. For slate of affairs we believe lime of next grand Jury would be well occupied in bills of indictment against persons responsible for this neglect of Now, let us consider for a moment the bond issue way, plan by which least half counties of the state have secured and are now en- good roads. To begin with I bond Issue does mean an i in the road tax one cent. It doe. mean, however, that borrow 000.00 and build good roads, and pay ofT the debt In years, all on cents on the property and cents on the pol I and with no Increase whatever in the present tax rate. This can be done. As an example, suppose a man pay- per month f-r house rent would be able to borrow for forty years, would It not be well foe him lo build his own home and then of paying out the per month as rent, use It to pay Inter- est on the and create a sink- fund that would , for his in forty years time for which he had borrowed the money, pay- for his home with the original per month rent money The two cases are analogous, only difference being, good roads are per- improvements and will farmer big dividends with- out his having to invest one cent more than he already pays for road tax. Which Is the better, the old with an Increase of 2-3 in road tax and no permanent or the bond issue with no increase in taxes, but permanent hard roads to travel on. and market produce over Tho question might now be ask- ed, how can get this CO with Which to build our roads The answer Is very simple. Upon the presentation of a petition to the county commissioners signed by one- fourth of the qualified voters In any I the county commissioners will submit an election in town- ship to determine whether a major- of the qualified voters want a bond issue or not. If the majority want the bond issue the rest is enough. Of course, we not space here to go Into details, tho system Is nothing more than a re- of the matter to the people and as to tho procedure, refer you to the law. It had been rumored, however, Pitt county had been denied these privileges of self government which are given under the state w road law. Such rumors without foundation and cannot be substantiated. Tho law applies as fully to county as It does lo any county In the state and nothing what- ever passed at the legislature exempting from Its provisions. As to the road commission, or old system law, that seeks to increase the road tax to cent on the of property and cents on the pole, which has already received mention in this article, we beg to advise that Section of that law reads as fol- this act shall not apply to any township that has or may here- after issue bonds for the Improve- of the roads within its Of course, Is one more ob- yet to overcome. When the opposition have gone to the last ditch and have left not a staple text upon which they can interpose an objection, they launch back on ill. uppers and twisting ton- belch forth mellow word Hut in case It is gratifying to know- that not only this particular law re- the inspection and approval of Judge Council and other attorneys for the state, but that bonds have been Issued three or four limes under almost this law as a county wile Instead a slate wide act.

The relief, however, will only be temporary, it Is said, as engineers gave as the cause the passing of the crest in the high water. The crest of the Ohio flood waters Is still to come and it is expected that before tonight the readings will again be the ascendancy.

Among them representatives of Brazil, pan, Great Britain. Russia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Bel- glum, Sweden, Peru, Denmark, Mex- and Spain. Tho calls lasted but a few minutes in each case and Secretary Bryan and his visitors by agreement declined to make any statement as to the ob- of the visits. A noticeable fact, however, was the absence of the Chinese minister, and it was concluded that in order to vent a repetition of tho criticism In foreign capitals occasioned by the recent Chinese loan statement, tho state department this instance has given due notice of its intentions re- to China and to all interested that section for a distance of three- fourths of a mile.
