the plugging of an unnecessary leakage of public

funds and enhanced property values. The wails of many South Eighth street property owners when the paving of that street was authorized are distinctly recalled by several councilmen. But what property owner on that street would now tolerate the removal of the bricks and the substitution of a macadam roadway?

Paved Streets

A North A street property owner in speaking

against the proposed paving of that street ad

vanced an argument in defense of his position which in reality is the very reason why the city

government should cling tightly to its announced

policy of paving the principal streets in the future when there was a necessity for improving them. "You can macadamize a street at a cost approximately one-third of the cost of putting down a brick paving," this remonstrator said, "and the difference will easily pay for the upkeep of the street." All of which is perfectly true, but to avoid the constant outlay of money for the maintenance of heavily traveled streets is the very reason which prompted Mr. Bavis of the board to advocate a permanent street improvement program, and which caused council to indorse such a policy. Macadam streets have enjoyed great popularity with Richmond property owners for many years because the city has always shouldered the entire cost of their construction. But such streets as are located in sections of the city where traffic is heavy have always been white elephants on the hands of the city because they are constantly having to be repaired or remade. When such an expense can be avoided the city overr.ment is clearly justified in taking such action. Permanent streets mean better streets,

"Going It Blind" Tinder the headine. "Going it Blind," the Sat

urday Evening Post recently called attention to the one big and glaring defect in our American system of so called popular government. The Post said: "It is strange that in a country so democratic as the United States there is no way of ascertaining public opinion. Hardly ever do voters have a chance to declare their will on any national issue. When the Commons proposed to tax land values, for example, and the Lords re

sisted there was an election on that particular question; and when the votes were counted no reasonable doubt remained that the famous Lloyd George Budget embodied the will of a majority of the British electorate. "Nothing of that kind ever happens in this country. Only by inference can we say that the majority of voters favor tariff revision, for in the last presidential election' the low-tariff party got only forty per cent, of the popular vote. Proponents and opponents of the trust measures now before Congress declare that those measures are tremendously important ; but there is not a scrap

of evidence that the majority ot voters approve them. "A well-organized, aggressive minority will always make a much greater impression on politicians than an unorganized, lukewarn majority. Take the question of national prohibition, which is evidently coming to the fore. Congress may pass a resolution for a constitutional amendment because a dozen leaders guess that a' majority of the people want it passed. Again, an aggressive,

well-organized anti-prohibition minority in more than one-fourth of the states may defeat the amendment, though a decided majority of the national electorate may favor it. "Meantime there will be the most positive assertions that the majority of the people do want it and that the majority do not want it. With small trouble and expense that question might be settled by letting voters make a cross opposite Yes or No at the next election."

GERMS DISTRIBUTE RELIEF FOOD

OF U. S. DONORS

AUG B

ELGIANS

BY JOHN C. FOSTER, LONDON, Feb. 13 (By Mall to New York). German soldiers are honestly assisting in the distribution of American food to Belgian sufferers. This as

sertion was made today by James M. Bennett, of Roanoke, Va., who has just returned from a motor trip through Belgium, on which he was accompanied by Colonel Listoe, the American consul general at Rotterdam. Mr. Bennett emphatically denied the charges made by English newspapers that part of the food contributed by Americans for the Belgians had been stolen by German troops. "The Germans are not touching a crumb of the food which is being sent in," he declared. "So far as I could see, the Germans are honestly helping." On his tour he visited Malines, Brussels, Dinant, Namur, Liege, Louvain and other places, and closely observed the methods of the American commission for relief in Belgium. "The work of the commission is wonderful," he said. "It's simply clock work. I did not dream anything like it could be done in so short a time. "Wherever I went I saw a long line waiting for bread. Some of those in it were well dressed. Yet in their faces was a look of utter hopelessness. I saw Cardinal Mercier in Malines, and he put into words what 1 saw in the faces of the people: 'If you in America do not continue to send us food,' said the cardinal, 'we shall starve.' "That Is the story of the nation In a nutshell. Everywhere I went there was a cry of 'More! More!'

Don't think the poor Belgians are ungrateful. We flew a small American flag on our motor and hundreds of women came up and kissed it. Littlo children fingered it lovingly. In Brussels they are talking of putting up a monument to mark the gratitude of Belgium to the United States. They are already at work upon the design. "I saw box after box. containing thousands of letters, waiting to go to American children. All of them were

from Belgian girls and boys for the Christmas presents sent in the Jasor. The children in Antwerp have printed an artjstic card which reads: 'With the cordial thanks of the poor children of Antwerp to their kind-hearted comrades of the United States for their nice Christmas presents.' Underneath are the scrowling little signatures oi waifs who have seen war. "In Liege I saw a train of seventeen

cars bringing in relief supplies which

quaintly pathetic expressions of thanks i came all the way from Virginia."

room Is occupied by a person having tuberculosis, and to Inform him further that the law requires him up the death or removal of the person to disinfect the premises. A complete formula for disinfection is prescribed by the bill. It was this provision that caused the most consternation among the bill's opponents. Representative Sare declared it would mean that a tubercular person would be hounded from place to place; that rental agents would refuse to rent to infected persons and that they would be humiliated and inconvenienced beyond reason. Feick Fights Bill. The bill to register every person in the state infected with tuberculosis

had a narrow escape from death. Rep-1 resentative Feick, who earlier tried to j oust Dr. Hurty from the state board

of health, because Hurty is a Republican, tried desperately to recommit the bill, thus to kill it. Apparently his motion carried for the vote was 50 to 34. Then the speaker ruled that to recommit on third reading a two-thirds majority is needed. There followed several speeches foe the bill and it carried. 53 to 38. Feick and Sare led the attack, while Niblack and Pierce favored it. Perry Rule, who sat with his triplet children, James, Whitcomb and Riley, surrounding him, became excited when Sare said the bill was not needed. "The only one who has a right to fight Dr. Hurty is the undertaker," he shouted. "I believe there Is an undertakers' lobby against this bill." Property owners took heart when informed that all expense of disinfection shall be borne by the city, town or county where the property is located.
