The float had been divided into two sections, the front one showing a garment worker, a woman, at work on her machine under Improved conditions, while the rear section presented sister working at her machine in the sweat shop, against which the garment workers have been 80 long and 50 persistently, fighting.

TAX RATE RAISED FOR GOOD ROADS Counties of State Alive to Need for Better Highways. Concrete evidence of the aroused Interest in road and school improvement is arriving at the office of the state comptroller-general daily now. the citation of tax levies made by the counties for this year come In.

Twenty reported Monday, and practically all showed increases in the county tax rate. The highest was 14.50 mills and the lowest 7 mills. "I said Capt. W. H.

Harrison, who has been In touch with the state's. taxing system for two decades, or more, "that when I first. came Into this office HO county levy of taxes ever exceeded that of the state, which has rarely been above five mills, the present constitutional maximum. From the reports of levies that have come In today, one may doubt if a single rate will be low as that of the state." For Roads and Schools. The increased tax rates of the counties are not due to extravagance, but to An aroused public opinion on the subject of roads and schools.

All but about twenty counties are using their pro rata share of convicts an their public highways. The cost of working them, has to be borne by local taxation, which is An added burden. But so Imbued have the taxpayers become with the idea of road development that they are kicking on slight increases in the tax rate. Several counties have taken advantage of the recent act of legislature permitting them to levy a specific road tax of four, Instead of two mills. The act in question became operative on the governor's approval and 18 cable to this year's levies.

It will mean the doubling of the road fund in a large number of counties. The other principal occasion for increasing the rates the public schools, Heretofore the county levies could be only for the support of the elementary branches. They can raise taxes now for high schools. This was made possible by a constitutional amendment confirmed last year. The Increases in the county rates not only evidence greater Interest in schools and roads, but growing prosperity.

All counties are required to report their total levies to the comptrollergeneral, but their reporte do not show for what purposes they are made. However, the officials are restricted to levying a rate not more than 50 per cent of that fixed by the state. Increases are made under specials which have to be recommended by grand juries.
