ground that it affects the revenue and
therefore is measure that must lawful

power being merely to approve treaties
and not to originate revenue measures.

1t is to be hoped that the issue will be

would be very unfortunate if the house
should get into the habit of holding up
treaties by refusing to appropriate the
money necessary to carry out their pro-

some expenditure Of money, and the

that would become gross abuse.
Fordney believes he has fighting
chance to beat the treaty, though he
recognizes the strong support that it
will draw from many quarters. AS a

The statement is made by promi-

of not, time alone will tell, but in the

this is good health. A sickly person
cannot enjoy life because he lacks the
vigor and vitality necessary for such
enjoyment, and consequently always

BYw II. GUsrIS, EDITOR BAY CITY TIM


1t is twenty years or more since the
people of Bay county, Mich, decided to
pull themselves out of the mud and
build permanent system of public
highways. twas Bay county that took
the initiative and had the legislature
pass an act permitting the county to es-
tablish a stone or macadamized road
system, and authorizing it to raise
money for the purpose of bonding and
to spread an annual tax on all property
each year by which to raise means to
keep in repair and extend these maca.
damized roads.
Just how the people at the first an
| nual election thereafter came to au-
thorize the issuance of bonds and put
themselves upon record by a large ma
jority in favor of better roads at the ex-
pense of additional Indebtedness and an
increased tax rate, is not accounted for
in any other way than that they were
thoroughly convinced that permanent
roads in the farming district were as
desirable as paved streets in the city.
The act of the legislature provided that
the cities should bear their proportion
of the expense, and they have done so
ever since without grumbling. The
first money derived from bonding was
soon expended and another loan was
authorized to continue the improve
ment, and third soon followed, until a
regular system of stone roads has been
laid out like the spokes of wagon from
Bay City as the hub. One of these
roads runs east to the Tuscola county
line, another to the southeast to the
Saginaw county line, another to the
west goes to the line of Midland county,
fourth reaches to the southwest as far
as Saginaw county, and fifth strikes
northward almost to Arenac county, so
that there are more than total of 100
miles of stone roads in the county.
When the system was started, Bay
county was obliged to send to Ohio
after the material with which to con-
struct them This made it very cost
ly proceeding. In addition, the build
ers of the road were new at the business,
and the expense of the work was much
higher than it has since been. The
opening of the Bay Port quarry placed
the stone within easy reach, and the
railroads, seeing that there was a large
traffic in store for them, made it an OBJ
Ject for the county to patronize the
Bay Port industry. The railroads built
sidings in different parts of the county
and delivered the loaded cars where
they could be handily reached by wagon
teams, and in this manner the haul to
the point of construction was made
comparatively short. When the Ohio
quarries furnished the stone, it was
brought here on barges and deposited
on the docks, thus making the haul by
wagon extremely long, some of the ma
terial being drawn as far as 10 and 10
miles before reaching the point where
the construction gang was at work
This, under the present method of
handling the stone, is very much
simplified. and the cost of construction
has been greatly reduced.

stone road system in the hands of five
commissioners, whose terms of office

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS.
Secretary Warner Says Uncle Sam
Should HeIp

Secretary of State Fred M. Warner
believes that great activiH. should be
shown by the officials of the state to
bring about the improvements Of roads
He makes an appeal for betterment of
the highways through the aid of the ma
tional government, and adds an appeal
for better pay for the rural delivery
carriers. who have to use the roads. To
this cpd he will appeal to all the Michi-
gan congressmen and senators to use
their influence to bring about nation
al system of road improvement, and to
secure for the rural carriers at least as
much money as is given to the city car
riers for horses. which the county car
rfers have to supply themselves. Mr..
Warner says;
81 think the good roads question is
one of the most important to be consid-
cred by the people of this state. Where
the present system has proved to be a
failure, believe changes should be
made at once, which should result in
much better roads with no additional
expense to taxpayers
The laws of the several states which
have already adopted the good roads
system should be carefully gone over,
and from the results there obtained, we
should profit. The national govern
ment should extend aid 10 all the states
that take this question up. The high
ways of our country are as important as
the waterways. Many more of our peo-
pie would be benefited, and they are
entitled to such assistance.
Better roads would be q great adj
vantage to the rural free delivery sys-
tenn. On account of the efficient work
,of Michigan congressman, at present we
have over 1000 rural carriers, who
cover daily %, 600 miles of road, serving
in the neighborhood of 100000 people.
Goodroads would be great benefit to this
army of carriers, who today are among
the poorest paid men in Uncle Sans
employ. City carriers are paid from
$500 to $1,000 year and they are al
lowed $500 extra for keeping horses, etc.
The rural carriers are at least entitled
to this $500 extra, for they not only do
not have paved streets to drive upon,
but they are generally compelled to
have two horses to do their work.
I'VE should all insist that our con-
gressmen urge this matter. / have no
doubt the Michigan delegation would
be only too glad to take the matter up
and, trust, with good results.
II have talked with a number of the
rural carriers about the matter, and
they all feel that they are badly used in
the matter of pay. All they receive is
5000 year, and by the time they pay
for the care of two horses out of this
they have very little left. They hang
onto their jobs simply because they
hope for better things it the future.

Salt pork is a famous old

sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.

can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs

prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There Isl some
