MORE MONEY FOR ROADS.

Those who were disappointed when the lead
ers at Albany decided not to press the bill sub
mittng to popular vote the question of bond
issue to the amount of $5,0OO,OOO for road i'm
provement will be consoled by the action of the
legislature yesterday in raising this years ap-
preparation for that purpose from S220,0O0 to
S42000O This done with Governor Odelrs
consent, so that the item in the Supplemental
Supply bill covering the additional allowance is
sure of his approval and far larger sum will
become available for use on the highways of
the State than they have hitherto been able to
command. Under the Higbe-Armstrong act the
counties in order TO draw upon the appropria-
ton to any extent must guarantee in advance
equal amount, and therefore if the provi-
sion offered by the State is fully utilized
the total expenditure authorized this year will
be $4,000. That the whole of it will be called
for appears certain. inasmuch as the local ap-
plcations already exceed 100000. Truly ex-
cellent progress Is being made toward goal
which only a few years ago seemed hopelessly
remote.
1t Is a fortunate fact in the history of the
good roads movement that it is exceedingly in
fectious and when once started spreads with

per cent more for the necessaries Of life, and,
unless he prefers to invest the difference in
luxuries 1t is natural that deposits in savings
banks should expand. 1t is not only in cases
where higher wages are paid that the unprece-
dentedly vigorous condition Of business enables
the people to meet slightly higher cost of lv-
ing. Small storeKeepers all the country
feel the effect of increased purchases and in the
building trades there has never been such a de-
mand for labor. From agricultural sections are
received reports that while crops are promising
a scarcity of hands threatens difficulty Even
on Hawaiian sugar plantations the same condi-
ton prevails, despite the importation of many
Porto Ricans.
This lack of tdleness is the keynote OF the stu
alton. If man cannot find work it matters
nothing to him how cheapy things can be pur-
chased. Five cents for a loaf of bread is a lot
of money to man with empty pockets. while
six cents Is cheap when he is earning good
wages. In a recent issue of the Review" it
is shown that the prices of commodities have
risen nearly 81 per cent since July 1. 1897. Yet
the ability of the people to pay that advance is
not doubted, for industries just beginning
to revive four years ago. after such severe de-
preston that soup houses had been opened all
over the country to feed the starving thousands
who were not benefited by the low range of
prices
1t is obvious that the level of quotations was
down to rock bottom at that time because of the
lack of demand. In the previous year fifteen
thousand firms had failed In business. industry
was at standstill, and idle mills had no use
for wage earners. Opponents of the admins
tration cry out against the high prices that the
poor laborer is now compelled to pay for every
thing, yet the contented people know they
better off, even If they cannot always compre-
hend the meaning of statistical records.
