they should announce that the

Chinese mobs have been giv

it is rather refreshing to see
somebody else get a "cussin"

It appears from their own
statt-meiiis that the Bolshevists
have attempted to organize
anti-Ameru-i'n sentiment in Cu
ba, ilexico, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica. Panamr. Salvador, I'.irtc
Rico, Hawai.. the Philippines
rnd several other countries.
They have used money stolen
from their own people as well
as others to spread their false
doctrines and t o injure the
United States. It is necessary
that our Government shall take
note of this propaganda and
offset it as far as possible The
Latin-AmerK'an countries, for
the most part have been the
hot-beds of riot and revolution
i for centuries. They are well
i suited for the propagation of
I Bolshevism. There is much
I ignorance in those countries
and the people are easy prey
for demagogues. Evil seeds
sprout easily among them.
The Federal administration
is doing its duty when it acts
firmly with countries like Mex
ico and Nicaragua. They should
be treated justly at ajl times
but our own rights and inter
ests should be safeguarded al-
so. A policy oi nrmness is less

TAXES FOR ROADS.
Bills have been introduced
in the Legislature which pro
vide that the counties may get
a part of the gasoline tax or
that thev may collect an addi
tional tax. Under the present
method the State collects the
gasoline tax and builds and;
maintains highways with it. On
the face of it the proposed
method looks good for the
counties but we doubt if it is
the proper thing to do. The
State Highway Commission is
a more efficient body than the
average board of county com
missioners or county mgnwayj
commission. It build its roads j
more efficiently than they do.
Besides the State highways go
into every county in the State
and so the people get the ben
efit of the money spent on them
If the Highway Commission

of its income it will be weak
