USERS PAY FOR ROADS Objections to the now nearly universal gasoline tax were based not so much on opposition to such a tax in itself as to the imposition of another-tax on motorists already pretty heavily taxed. But such opposition is waning, as people come to see the essential justice of this tax when it is applied, as it should be, to the building of Now this tax seems to be replacing, in large measure, the real estate tax formerly levied as a matter of course for road improvements. In state after state, the new state roads are being built without any charge what­ ever to the farmers owning property through which the highways pass. The cost is met by the gasoline tax and automobile license tax. The property-owners along the route doubtless derive benefit, but less than the strangers who make most use of the highways. The argument for the new method is well expressed in this excerpt from a leading Kansas newspaper: * “ The users of the roads pay for them, each in pro- portiou to his use of the roads. The more a motor oar owner uses the roads, the more gasoline he uses, and the more tax he pays. The fanner and the man in town are on the same basis. The person who has no car pays nothing. Tourists pay their share <>f tix- cost of the roads they use, as they pay the gasoline tax.’* ASIA’S LOCARNO It is edifying to read that a ]>eace agreement has been signed by representatives of Feng Yu-Hsiang, the “ Christian general»* of China, and Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian war lord. Under the terms of this treaty no Manchurian troops are to be stationed at Tientsin, but all are to retire 30 miles east of the Peking-Hangkow line. Also there is to be established a joint office at Peking where the rival leaders will meet and discuss each questions as the pre­ miership, the makemp of the cabinet and the election of a president. So China follows the example of Locarno. It is one of the many unexpected echoes heard in these last few weeks from the notable agreement reached by the Euro­ pean powers. Heretofore heathen Asia has usually aped Christian Europe for the worse. When it copies Europe at its best —and sinful old Europe has been on its good conduct lately — there is hope for East and West alike. RRCREATION AT GENEVA Viscount Cecil has announced that he intends to use part of the money awarded him last year by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation for his peace activities, to enlarge the tennis courts and golf course and to augment the library of tbe Ixiagnd of Nations. Recreation facilities are not always easy to find at moderate cost at Geneva, and Lord Robert apparently feels that they play an im­ portant part in maintaining the spirit of good will among the nations’ representatives. H , Just as the German and French delegates to the Locarno conference helped themselves to a better un­ derstanding of each other’s aims by their little private social hour at the inn, so many other delegates with seemingly conflicting points of view may be brought ttr gather while atriding across the Geneva golf course or contesting a point at tennis. The Englishman’s sportsmanship has sometimes been credited with his military successes. Perhaps a time is coming when wars will not he won on the fields of Eton but will be prevented on the playgrounds of Geneva.
