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.
