this sum at per cent would pay the
cost of building. the finest and best
main roads in the world throughout
the entire country each and every
year
This official is of the opinion that
the demand for road improvement
will increase rapidly as the benefits
of good roads are manifested by prac-
teal demonstrations. This has been
demonstrated by the wonderful
growth i'm popularity of the road
movement i'm the state of New York
during the past four. years. The first
roads were built in New York by
state aid in 1929. when only $4,000
was spent under STATE aid in the build
ing of fifteen miles of country. roads.
One-half the cost is paid by the state
and one-half by the counties and
towns in which the roads are built.
On Dec. /. 1902, the New York state
engineer had received petitions from
the counties of the state for building
2,007 miles of roads. to cost. about
S16.000,0O0, an increase of 230 fold. or
$4,000 per cent in four years.

The Value of Good Roads.

Statistics which constitute the
strongest kind of argument in favor
of road Improvement are given by an
official of the agricultural depart
ment in an interview in the Wash
ington Evening Star: 1t is conserva-
lively estimated by government Of
ficials." he says. that we are need
lessly losing or wasting over S6OO.000,-
900 each year because of our bad
roads. making mud tax of over 81
100000 for every working day in the
year, and an individual tax of nearly
So each year for every person in this
country.
This estimate is for the direct
money loss and takes no account of
the incidental disadvantages, discom-
forts and Inconvenience of bad roads.
which would probably exceed the di-
rect moneyed loss. Besides this, the
increased values of farms reached
by good roads would amount to an
enormous sum. In New York and 9th
er states this increase in selling val
ues has equalled from $25 to 500 an
acre in many cases.
AN increase of only SS an acre on
the estimate of 64O.OOO,OOO acres for
the country would amount to some
thing like $4,000, 0OO, 900, or more than
enough to build the best and finest
main roads in the world-about 1.OOO,-
900 miles-throughout the entire
country several times over, and by
recently developed methods in road
building by which the best of roads
can be built for a cost which should
not exceed an average of $4,000 per
mile. The interest on this sum of S.
000.000,000 at per cent would build
all the mainly travelled roads in the
country in less than ten years at a
cost Of only 40 per cent of the increas-
ed farm value.
From this it appears that we would

values alone equal to two and one
half fold, or $50 per cent of their
cost.

would carry a cost of $12 100000, 900.
This i over six times. or 600 per cent
of The necessary costs of the main
roads of the entire country.
IF the indirect comforts, benefits
and savings will equal the direct saw
ing, we will have another item of $780,

from good main roads equal to some
thing like $4,000. 900. 900, or fifteen
times their cost. The interest from

Those European Conditions.

1t appears from figures published in
the New York World, that five of the
South American republics owe Eu-
ropean capitalists the snug sum of
81 ,450.0OO,00O And there are others.
The World says the Argentine repub-
lies big debt to European money lend
eTs amounts to S5OO,000.OOO on which
the annual interest charge is over 81
per capita Of her population and the
payment of which absorbs nearly 40
per cent of the total revenue. The
bonds covering it were issued at 90,
bearing per cent interest in gold,
and European creditors hold them all.
To secure BraziFs debt of S4O.0OO.-
900, bearing interest at from TO 6
per cent, the receipts of her custom
houses are pledged to European bond
holders.
ChilIi's debt of S113. OOO. 900. bearing
interest at from Az to g per cent, is
similarly secured by her creditors,
mostly Europeans.
The smaller nations are even more
heavily burdened. relatively to their
resources. Thus little Uruguay (pop-
ulation 100000 owe over O,000,OOO.
Honduras owes almost as much with
a population of about 400, 900. and has
paid no interest thereon to her credi-
tors-Europeans, most of them-since
1872
Peru is wholly in pawn 10 her Eu-
ropean creditors. In 1890. having
paid them no interest for II years,
she agreed that she owed them $265.-
100000. though her total population
is bur 1000. 900. To meet that noun
tain of debt she turned over to them
for Il term of 60 years-which has 81
years yet to run-all the government

critics of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system is deprived of the

MURDERER's LIFE INSURANCE.
United States Supreme Court Disposes
of an interesting Case.

Washington, Dec. 24-The question
of the effect of murder upon life in
suTance policy when issued upon the
life of the murderer was during the
day passed upon by the United States
supreme court in an opinion delivered
by Justice Brewer. The case was that
of S. M. Burt VS.. The Union Central
Life Insurance company.
William E. Burt of Travis county,
Texas, was the name of the man in
sured His policy was made payable
to his wife, Anna M. Burt, and in case
of her death, to his executors. During
the following year Burt's wife died
and he afterwards was charged with
her murder and was found guilty and
executed. Afterwards the heirs of tina,
estate made an effort to collect upon
the policy, but the insMrance company
resisted payment 81
The lower courts, including the
court of appeals for the Fifth circuit,
sustained the protest Of the company.
and the days decision affirmed the de-
cision Of the court of appeals, holding
the policy invalid on the ground that
to sanction payment under the cir
cumstances would be contrary to pub.
Z lie policy.
