IS NA.TDRAL GAS FAILING' I'eoplo living in the natnftl gas regions of Ohio and even in some parts of this State are considerably agitated over the reported failures of the precious fuel. Logunsport and Fort Wayne have shut off their factories claiming that the supply is failing. No complaints have reaclu-d ns from Lafayette, Peru or abash. The Lebanon Pioneer, however, interviewed one of the directors of the Lebanon Light, Heat and Power Company a few days ago on the subject of a probable failure of the supply in Indiana. He said that he had never been so shaky on the question as he is this winter. The Zionsville company is having trouble with its well. The Sheridan company has been out of gas once or twice this tall. The Big Springs and Xorthfield wells are filling with water and Elizaville is experiencing the same difficulty. He says the Lebanon company has exceptionally good wells, and there has been no trouble yet, but ho fears it was a mistake not to h:ive drilled two more wells this year, to hold in reserve for this winter. As it is the company, he says, will, as a precautionary measure, shut off the mills during the extreme cold weather, to prevent drawing too heavily on the wells. So far as the Crawfordsville line is concerned The Journal is glad to Bay that the supply is ample. The Company has fifteen good wells and there are no signs of a decreased pressure from any of them. It is the policy of the managers to draw equally from all and thus save the supply. What the fnture may be in store for us we cannot of course tell, but for the present we are happy in 'he possession of an abundance to supply all demands.
ROADS-STATE TAXATION The Journal is in favor of good roads and always has been, but it must be allowed to utter its protest against any movement for the building of roads by a State tax. Many counties, among them Montgomery, have already taxed themselves heavily to build good roads, and it would be extremely unjust to tax these counties to construct good roads in other counties. While the plan of having the State build the roads might have been a good one in the beginning the conditions are such now as to make it wholly impracticable, without gross injustice to many localities. Let each county build its own rocdB. ThiB is the only system that can uow bo thought of for a moment. The people of one county use the roads of another county but little under existing conditions. It is not as it
UBed
to be when long jour
neys were made in private conveyances. The most of the hauling now is con fined to one's own county, and this makes it just and fair that each county should build and repair its own roads.
CoNiiitFBs.MAN Oatbs, of Alabama, is preparing bill to repeal the tax ou State bank circulation, anil Democrats all over the country since the election are becoming more bold in declaring themselves in favor of such a measure Wildcat currency may come sooner than the people look for it.

Indianapous, Ind., Dee. -The Indiana Road congress adjourned Thursday, having* aceomplished little beyond bi-iugiitgr the necessity for good roads to tho attention of the public. The legislative committee submitted its report advocating reforms that the next legisiatuie will be requested to euaet into law. According to this the association will asU the legislature to pass a law doing away with the present system of road supervisors and provide for a board of supervisors in each county with a superintendent, all to be appointed by the county commissioners. Their powers are to be little different from the old school road supervisors. There is to be no working of the roads in lieu of tax. ami the clause providing that -1 miles of new roads annually in each township shall be built was killed. The congress resolved itself into the Indiana 11 ighway 1 mprovement association and elected Mason .1. Niblack of Knox county, president, W, Kvans Woolen, of Indianapolis, secretary, and Louis 11.
