Good Roads - - -

In a current number ot the Saturday Evening Post is. an article on the King road drag by the inventor, of that device which haa revolutionised the roads of the west. It is a simple affair this drag-and one which any farmer can make. By Its use the roads can be Improved anywhere from SO per cent to 300 per cent according to the condition that they are in and the skill and Intelligence with which the drag is used. According to Mr. King it would seem that Wayne county farmers can well afford to try ths out. Roads can be dragged at a trifling expense per mile say $3.00 to $5.00. What will work with those communities like Iowa which have no road making material, ought to work better with the splendid start that we have here. . v .

Closing Streets

The petition of the Gaar, Scott Company to close North P street is one which should be carefully considered. The work of making Richmond grow and the consideration of protecting the city for the future are closely Joined. We believe that when business and the public welfare cannot be made to coincide that business should in every case be subordinated to the welfare of the whole community. : i It is true that the closing of the street Is a privilege for which compensation mlght.be asked If a corresponding or greater benefit were not offered. Theoretically this bears a close relation in this case to the granting of a franchise to a public service corporation for the use of the Btreets and if there were not sufficient compensation it ought to be urged that the corporation pay for it or pay a ground rental or by some similar method pay the own for the right given them. The fact must be recognized that the town is giving up something of value. ; But look at it from another point of view, which is also a view from the conservation standpoint We have just given a subsidy of five thousand dollars to a small factory so that Richmond will grow. We have Just given twenty thousand dollars bonus to the National Tool Works in the south portion of Richmond. What are we willing to do for the manufacturers who stay here? If for instance Gaar, Scott wished to move to the heart of what is going to be their greatest field Canada, would it be

Montezuma Treasures A Myth

SBBBBBBBBBBBBSBSBBBBBBSBBBBSBBBBSSSaBBBBBBSa Mexican Journalist Says the Stories of Gold Hidden by Old

Mexican Emperors t American News Service) Ran Antonio Tex.. Mav 12. Accord-i iner to Jose Ramon Palafox. a Mexican"! Journalist who recently passed through this city on his way to Washington, D. Cv there are no hidden treasures of Montezuma. , 'No doubt the stories circulated about the hidden treasures of the Aztec emperors have their origin in the sadly exaggerated accounts of old Mexico and whose judgment naa neen upset by the few shipments of gold and silver made to Spain shortly after the taking of the Aztec capital," said Senor Palafox. "The amount of gold and sliver m the possession of, the Aztecs at any time was comparatively small and in the case of the people consisted of lattie more than a lew personal ornaments. The greatest store or. tnese precious metals was round oy tne Spaniards In the imperial palace ana this was promptly shipped to Spain by Cortez. Compared with the wealth of today even this was a mere drop in the bucket. The statement made by historians that Hernando Cortez sent shiploads of gold and silver to his king should not be taken literally for in all probability it means no more than that heavy shipments of these took place. , "The accounts of the Montezuma treasure is merely a counterpart of similar .extravagances found on the pages of history. We read of the fabulous wealth of the people ot the Euphrates valley, of the ancient Egyptians, of India and other parts, and so far have never found a trace of it. In their day no doubt these people had a certain amount of gold and silver, but they never had enough to cause us moderns to call them rich. Dls persed among them in the form of currency as is the case today, their wealth in precious metals would have made a poor showing. Gold and silver, then as In the case of the Aztecs, were not used at all as mediums of exchange or were used onlv in a verv limited way. Rulers paid and received tributes in the form of gold and as a rule converted Into articles of practical value or oujecia oi an, iub oiu r;u. i ahnw this down to (i verv late date. . hv the kines or silver vases, statuettes s and the like. We see Rameses reward the services of his generals by hanging a golden chain around their necks and so on. ."Conditions in Mexico when the conquistadores got -there were the same. Metals did not figure to any extent as money or Its equivalent In the palace of the emperor gold and silver was found in the shape of cooking utensils, toilet articles and wall cov erings. Perhaps a small store of gold and silver ingots was also discovered and so, no doubt was a small quantity of precious stones. "The so-called Aztec codeses telling of the whereabouts of hidden treas ure are all spuriouB and are sold to un-) msnwtlnr fnrelmpra fnr fsnrv nrices. ? It is an Industry somewhat analogous to the making of antique furniture and jewelry. Of course only the '4 most credulous are taken In and usually one experience suffices to tell the purchaser ot a codex that he has been humbugged.

Kenyon Mr. Palafox expressed himself to the effect that in all probability it was no better than other documents of that kind and that quite often a so-called codex was well enough executed to even deceive those familiar . with the subject. ' "A great deal of harm . has been done to Mexico investment opportun ities by ancient mine and bidden treasure swindles." said Mr. Palafox. "No sane man should take any stock In either. Mexico is well stocked with Americans who do nothing else but exploit' their countrymen on the other side of the Rio Grande. This also applies to some of the rubber land and colonization propositions. ' Americans ready to invest money in the republic should first get in touch With the Mexican government. Doing this will save them money and disappointment" What intsrmittcncy Means. IntermltteBoy Is that form of irregu larlty in which the pulse appears to drop a beat, occasionally.

The present charter provides .that detectives shall be drawn from the uniformed policemen. At a conference between the mayor and former Attorney General Julius M. Mayer, counsel to the charter revision commission of the legislature, both agreed to the new plan. The mayor said today that he could spot a detective a block off.
