YAH E OP KOAP DRAGGIXG. The editor of the Journal yesterday had the experience of driving an au tomobile over sand-clay roads that have been regularly dragged, and oth ers that have not been dragged, and we were so Impressed with the expe rience that we feel called upon to call attention to the great value of the split-log drag. The frequent rains during the -past two weeks have made sand-clay road* that havo not been dragged almost Impassible, while that which has been dragged by the county aro In fln^ shape, notwithstanding the exccssiv** rain. Automobiles and other vehi cles can make good time, and carrv heavy loada over .the country roads that have been dragged, while the city streets and country roads that have been left without any care make traffic a burden. JAFAX-GERMAX t’LTIMATI’8. The ultimatum cent by Japan to Germany le the latest and moat dis turbing element In the war situation. This ultimatum Is very serious In that It Injects another element Into the war, and will no doubt bring Ja pan Into the fight, particularly In the Far East. The lessening of the num ber of peaceful powers adds to the gravity of the aitautlon, and makes the outlook all the more complicated and gloomy. Much pressure has doubtless been brought to bear on America to hav. ber take some action as to the Orl ent, and assert what she might term ber rtgbla In the Fart East, llut the American government baa remained firm In Its attitude of neutrality, and In Its determination to do nothing that would give cither belligerent na tion a nail on which to hang an ex cuse for a demand, or to make an open rupture. The pressure that caused Japan to take the action she did was doubtless heavy, and placed the little brown mea In a position where they were forced to make a declaration one way or the other. That they did Is no con cent of ours as a nation, and, we hav> neither, legal, moral nor technical right to question what they have done nor to question their motives for do Img It If Japan and Germany become Involved. It la certainly a thing to be regretted, and a new phase of the alt nation that makes the war more com plex and disturbing. But America's part le the part of pence. America, as g nation. Is not Concerned with what other nations aro doing between themselves. The Washington government la ; a wise and able course.—At- year they amount to some forty-three million dollar*, nud slut* 191* L*e> have Increased thirteen million*. I^ocal road appropriation*, that la to say expenditure* by countie* and i towns, have risen from seventy-five million dollars In 1904 to one hundred and sixty-six and a quarter million In 1913. The aggregate fund for Slate and local road work now ex ceeds two hundred and six million dollars. During the period of this remark- tble Increase In highway funds, there been a noteworthy Improvement In highway supervision. Taxpayers learned that It Is unwise to vot* bonds, or In any other way to appro priate money for road purposes, un less the money Is administered by scientific, businesslike methods. Th'y have learned that roads must bo built and maintained systematically, If due suits are to follow, and that there must be some central agency through lilch the various local activities can be directed and made co-ordinate. Thus we And that only seven States ■e now without a State highway de partment. devoted to the guidance and aid of Che counties. A decade ago there were only six State highway commissions In the entire Union. Tin highway commission has given Im pulse to road building, has stimulat 'd popular Interest, and at the same time. It has brought economy, effi ciency and more lasting results. In discussing a recent report on this subject by the national Department of Agriculture, the New York Even ing Host says: Many -States have learned that all progress depends on laying out a sys tem connecting the large centers for primary attention; a system connect ing county seat* for secondary atten tion; and a final syatem of local road* for mere general supervision. The experience of Ohio, as brought out last winter In the hearing before the House Committee on Good Roads. Is typical of the advanced States. Up to 1904 she had groped without plan, under laws which enabled tho rich urban counties, as Cuyahoga, to build excellent roads, but left the ru ral counties deep In mud. In 1904 the State Highway Department ated. and after n period of Ineffective bocatiHc unro-ordinated, assistance to the counties, began work In 1911 on Inter-county system. Tlmt system, by legislative action baaed on expert surveys, bus been defined as 9,300 miles-11 per cent of all the State highway*—Joining all considerable cities. Not until It aud a supplemen tary system of market roads are fin ished can State funds la? used for oth er stretches. A Stato highway commission Is un doubtedly essential to satisfactory road building and to Just returns uptm the taxpayers' money. Georgia Is one of the seven States which lag behind the country's thought au£jQ£ terprlse In this regard. It was earn estly hoped that this condition would be remedied at the recent session of the Legislature. Three hills looking the establishment of a State High way Department were Introduced, and It was also urged that the Prison Commission be provided with suffi cient funds to aid and supervise road building. Unfortunately. none of these measures waa adopted. It U evident, however, that public sentiment In Ueorgla la alert to this Important taaue. The friends of the good-roada cause should continue their Insistence upon the creation of n State highway department; they will Inevitably win. for they are right.—Atlanta Journal.
