Good Roads.

The last legislature passed a law
directing and enabling road districts
to purchase working machines.
This law directs that upon petit
ton signed by its Road Oyerseer and
by a majority of all lis taxpayers,
(and this majority must represent
more than half the taxable property
of the district the district may buy
a machine, or may join with other
districts in the purchase. The ma
chimes may be paid for within five
years of the time of purchase. If
bought by more than one, each pays
in proportion to the amount of high
way tax assessed to each. Not more
than half the highway tax in each
year can be applied to the purchase.
The town is required to provide a
suitable place for housing the ma
chimes.
This is first-rate law. No road
district in the country can afford to
be without the use of a grader Its
use will economic in every way in
the effectual construction of dirt
roads. Every district should own
right in machine. One machine
in town viii n OF be suffient to ac-
commodate all the districts. Such
a number of districts should COM
bine in the purchase as will insure
to each the opportunity for needed
These districts, so combin-
ing, should, for convenience, consist
of adjoining territory. Dirt roads,
properly graded, so that the water
flows from the center Immediately
to side ditch is the best that can be
secured with the material. Macad
am-rock roads-are the most desir-
able, but they are SO costly they will
necessarily be slow of attainment.
Dirt roads that are so made as to
cause the water to run off at the
sides will keep hard. When road
has been graded and the bed becomes
flat or depressed by wear the grader
should be run over the surface edges
and the shoulders pared down SO
that water may not follow along the
road OF stand and settle.

The Missouri Agricultural Exper-
iment Station made some tests in
order to thoroughly and scientifically
ascertain the value of wide-tired wag
ons as compared with narrow ones.
These tests were made with two wag
ons, one with 6-inch tires, the other
with 14-inch, both wagons of the
same weight and each loaded with a
weight of 1000 pounds. 1t was
found that the same power needed
to draw the narrow-tired wagon with
the 1000 pound load, on a gravel
road, would have pulled load of
242S pounds on the wide tired wag-
on. The same power required to
draw the 2000-pound load on mar
row tires over a dirt and gravel road
when these were dry and hard, was
found sufficient to draw a $3.50
pound load on the wide-tired wagon
under the same conditions. Other
experiments showed difference in
favor Of the wide tires ranging from
II to 100 per cent. From these ex-
periments it would seem that 6-inch
tires offer a great advantage over
narrower ones in moving load.
There is another advantage in the
use Of wide-tired wagons which the
Missouri Station managers do not
mention, because, perhaps, the adj
vantage is so plainly apparent, the
preservation of the track. Narrow
tires cut up the road while wide
tires pack the dirt and make the
road harder and better.

The Fall Elections.

Elections will be held in eight
states next Tuesday. Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts and
Ohio elect entire state tickets and
members of the legislature. Penn
sylvania, Nebraska and Virginia
elect only minor officers. Consider
able interest is manifested through
out the country in the result as in a
measure affecting national issues.
Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska are
watched with apprehension by both
parties. The Democrats are moving
heaven and earth to carry these
three states. In Kentucky there is
a serious bolt from the regular Dem
ocratic ticket and the Republicans
are confident of a majority at the
polls. The Democratic managers,
however, are a desperate set and
have the election machinery in their
own hands. At the last election the
Democrats carried the state by plu-
rality of II, 800. Bryan's future as
an available Democratic candida te
for presidential nomination is in
volved in the result in Nebraska,
his home state. A failure for the
Republicans to carry Ohio will be
used as an argument against the pol
icy of the president. The Democrats
pretend to be confident of success in
Maryland. The Republicans have
carried the state in the last tire e
elections but factional fights in the
Democratic party aided in produc-
ing this result. Now the Democrats
are united and there is war of fac
lions among Republicans which will
rebound to the advantage of the OPP
position. Still the Republicans be-
lieve they can succeed in electing
their entire ticket. Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania, Iowa and Virginia
are Joined to their idols and no
change of front is expected in any
of them this year.

DESTROYS Of ascertaining the views of
economists, theoretical and practical,
upon the cause Of the com binations
of capital on large scale wrote for
an expression of views. Answers
were received from 1855 of these men,
only three of whom attributed the
formation and successful operation of
trusts to the tariff. This country is
now under the industrial operation
of a protective tariff. The country is
so prosperous that even theorists fear
to appeal to free trade as remedy
for imaginary grievances. There are
no real grievances-execpt for the

The Philippines have but on,

road the line extending across Luzon
from Manila to Dagupan on the
Lingayen Gulf-the length of which,
we believe is about 100 miles. The

hogany ties. 1t is the purpose of

road and garrison all the towns on the
line. This will be done just as soon

crops of the west are moving it
requires more money il siness than
during any other part of the year.

from that county by rail for the year.
The figures are taken from the rec
ords of the station agents. To this
is added the number of acres of gov
eminent land in the counties subject
to homestead entry. From this it
appears that there remains in the
state 214,000 acres of this vacant land,
all of which is in the Ozark hills.
