BOURNE’S SOLUTION OE THE ROAD PROBLEM
X-SENATOR Jonathan Bourne would appear to have stitis
E factorily solved the problem of providing adequate funds for
the construction of better highways. As chairman of the joint
committee on federal aid in the construction of post roads, Mr.
Bourne proposes:
That, inasmuch as ordinary road revenues fall far below the
amount required to build and maintain good roads, and that ad­
ditional funds may only be secured by liens upon the property
benefitted or by the sale of bonds, the latter suggests itself a-
the most equitable and satisfactory, providing the rate of inter­
est be placed at the minimum.
That, for this purpose, federal bonds bearing three per cent
be sold to create the fund necessary. That the proceeds of suet
sales be loaned to the states upon application, guaranteed by the
security of state bonds bearing four per cent.
The small but vital difference of one per cent in the interest
rates of federal and state bonds would automatically create a
sinking fund that, with compound interest thereon at three per
cent, would effectually cancel the face of the bonds in less than
fifty years.
This is the Bourne plan. From any angle of view it appears
to merit adoption. It would relieve the constant stress of striv­
ing toward proper highways without proper means, it would ob­
viate the constant turmoil of agitation that accomplishes little
while aspiring greatly. But best of all. it would place the res­
ponsibility of highway maintenance primarily with the state—
where it properly belongs—that each community might receive
its proportion of needed improvement without miring in the
swamp of local bonded indebtedness. And the burden would be
equally borne, as it should be.
Mr. Bourne points out the fact that he is in nowise the ori­
ginator of the method; that it has been successfully employed in
Great Britain for the financing of Irish tenantry desiring to
purchase land under the Irish land purchase act of 1903, at an
extremely low rate of interest. “In effect”, adds Mr. Bourne,
“the difference between the two rates of interest pays the
principal”.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
HE commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans,
General Bennett H. Young, in an address delivered at the
T
Gettysburg reunion, voiced a plea for justice that has long laid
dormant in the Northern breast—a plea for the equal recogni­
tion of the gallant old fellows who fought beneath the Star ar.d
Bars, by the government of a reunited people.
No more lasting illustration of “Woe to the vanquished” is
afforded in history than the constant contribution of the
southern veteran to the support of soldiers’homes which he may
never occupy, of tribute to a pension fund which he may never
enjoy. For the boys who went back to the charred and dismant­
led Southland find no recognition on the pension rolls or in the
federal homes for heroes. These, according to the stern precept
of a day when bitterness still rankled, are for the boys in blue
alone.
Regardless of the vast injustice inflicted by taxation without
benefit, it must be remembered that the lads who followed
“Dixie” into battle offered their lives to an ideal as actual, to a
purpose as high and holy in their estimation, as that which ac­
tuated the striplings of the North.
If the Union is a u nion indeed, it should render the meed of
justice that devotion and sacrifice deserve—before the last of the
gallant Confed’s answers the roll call beyond the reach of more
substantial appreciation than empty platitutes at Gettysburg.

the Mad ran light beneath hi* feet, each
Iwxlge was gay with bloom, he curtseyed

O life waa young ami odorous ami every
hour waa tk v t—yet he h en td o v n tuatreke
the cur that whimpered in the *treel. I
Io not know what folly lit the light with­
in hi* eye, that tlaahctl ami gkauiHsI a*

slain these thousand years— the tlelg yon

Tis well to sooth the comfortless,

their charity ami haste along the w ay.”
