ROSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1924. MODERN "HIKING" Modern youth has discovered a new way of getting around the country- Instead of Lying a railroad ticket with hard earned savings, the youngsters get out on a main road and leg rides from automobiles. They call it a "hiking" or "bumming" tour, but they may ride 50 miles for eery one they walk. It is not always so easy to do this as these young fellows think. The custom of beg ging rides has become so common among boys in many places that motorists scarcely notice such requests. Many schoolboys have become so indolent that they will ask for rides just to go half a mile. Some of these fellows say that the secret of getting these rides is in being well dressed, that many drivers would stop for a good appearing fellow who would not do so for others. A considerable number of young men who have no money for travel ing have made their way in this manner this fall to colleges and schools where they desired to take courses. It has been a pleasure to many automobile owners to take those fellows in for such an ambitious errand. Some parents dislike to have their boys go out and ask for rides in this way,' as it seems to them like a form of begging. Yet it costs the driver nothing, and some automobile owners traveling alone arc glad to have company. The worst fea ture of it is that bandits take advantage of this good nature, and have held up many drivers and stripped them of their money. This ability to beg rides has given many young men very inde pendent ideas, and they feel that they can get around the coun try and go long distances without having to, pay much for it. It is one of those things that may be so much overdonp thatmotorists will generally get tired of it, and decide that these "hikers" would better pay railroad fare or buy their own gasoline. o People who do not drive automobiles sometimes complain about the enormous sums of money spent on highway improve ment, says Farm Life. "The roads," they say, "cost a lot of money and the car owners get most of the benefit." In a measure that is true; but it should not be forgotten that the car owners pay for the ronds. It is probable, indeed, that they more than pay for the roads. The federal government, for instance, reports that it has paid out $2151,782,216 on account of federal aid highways, 'orest roads construction and expenses of administration. But .his is not a tax on the non-car owner because the government has collected $589,012,021 in taxes on automobiles, tires and acces sories. This leaves more than three hundred million dollars of automobilo money to be turned into the treasury for general pur poses. In the. slates, license fees, gasoline taxes and other charges to say nothing of the property tax usually take care of the road building program and sometimes leave a surplus. These facts should be considered in tax-reducing programs. It is not necessary to fight sensible appropriations for making roads since the driver pays his own way. , o Formerly many school boys used to play "hookey." They wandered around their home towns and out into the country in de lightful vagrancy. Their life used to seem very romantic to ftrictly controlled youngsters. Today truant officers usually round up these rovers, and most of them are in school. But new types of hookey players have developed. An investigation of truants found that boys who sell newspapers on the streets in one large. Massachusetts city "play hookey" over three times as often us ordinary children. This is contrary to the ideas of the news papers whose publications they sell, as newspaper ieople are al ways in favor of regular school attendance. But it is significant that while boys used to play hookey because of mere irresponsibil ity and idleness, now they do it to do work and earn money. That indicates growth of ambition, even if it is miscredited. Dear Folks: When Lincoln freed the Southern slaves, he gave them new ambitious. Of course it look tlutu many years to wipe out old traditions, but now the rate which never knew the worth of edu cation, is well informed on many things which help to run a Na tion. But Lincoln couldn't free them all and slaves are still exist ing who bend before their master's lash, his cruel cuffs and fist ing. These slaves have little mind i r will, they're indolent and lazy, their knowledge of the belter things is .-.mall and sort ol hazy. They drift along the stream of life like haves upon a river, and when they hear their master's oiie, they cower down and t-hiver. They have no courage to resist ;iie strength of those who wn them, allho the path to freedom ami to liberty's been shown hem. The masters of these willing slaves .-ire known is Human Vices, ami those who cater t their wants m ist pay the fearful priees. No Lincoln could be brought to Me to free tip m from tin ir fetters, no politics can help them out, no interchange of let ters. Their freedom lies before their eyes, it's theirs if they'll but lake it. It's up to them to seize the vice wh a It ririos them and to hake it. Then when they're freed by own a md, they'll worship uuation, which must be had ly those who'd lv a credit to their ..ation.
