Roads and Economics.

The condition of the common roads
has very interesting economic bearing
of direct nature, and an indirect one
not less important. In the matter of
the earning capacityand value of horses
and other draft animals the common
roads have direct effect. If horse can
do One-third more work on a good road
and be in aworking condition one-third
longer than he can on bad road, then
his earning capacity, and hence his
value, is increased just One-third. This
assumption is based upon very low es-
innate. In all probability, il it were
possible to make an exact calculation,
it would be found that the earning ca
pacity and the total length of service
able life of draft animals would be more
nearly doubled than increased only
one-third.
The census enumerators of 1890
found that there were in this country
II 4,2l3 1897 horses, valued at SOS each;
1881 ,027mules, valued at SIS each, and
sc ,S49 ,024 oxen and other draft animals,
valued at $50 each-making a total of
So 1893 1888 animals used on the roads,
at total value of 81 ,72l $50, ,798. All
these horses and mules work at some
| time on the roads, and indeed much
the greater part of the total work done
by them is upon country roads and
city streets.
If all the work done by them was
upon the roads, the increased yalua-
ton, based upon the above hypothesis
of earning capacity, would be 1913 ,S45,-
266, but as all the work is not done on
the roads it is only fair to reduce this
by one-half, and then we would have,
by general improvement of the roads
of the country, our property in horses
and mules and other draft animals in
creased in value 50 ,S66, 1922 ,633. | feel
safe in assuming that with good roads
road vehicles would last one-half long
er and their value be increased at least
$3.50, ,000 600. Taking these two sources
of increased valuation together we
should have an enhanced property
valuation of $3.50, 1922 .633, all brought
about by the improvement of the COM
mon roads.-John Gilmer Speed in

four hundred and forty-three of twenty

And none of the political prisoners is sent

For the most part you are dependent Tor
information upon the testimony of pris-

are innocent. Ask all the prisoners OF

Not guilty" Ask them how they like
their prison, and how they like sherlffs,
and how they like the government of the
