There is no doubt that the
American farmer directly, and
the whole people indirectly,
woul Il gain much by the stimulus
the good roads movement would
receive from an Appropriation
from congress, sharing with the
different states half the cost Of
the new roadways. There is
only one argument against put
ting this plan into effect at once,
and that is the danger of open
ing the way to extravaganza In
appropriations and graft in their
expenditure. If there could be
some assurance against turning
the plan to the Advantage of reck-
less legislature and corrupt con-
tractors, they would quickly or
der it carried out. They want
no more river and harbor grabs,
or public buildings steals, or
rural free delivery plumber.
There are plenty of arguments
against opening the treasury
doors 10 that sort of graft, but
there is no argument against
good roads.

if the Present Plans Are Carried Out

There will be a considerable shrinkage
in the deposits Of several OF the banks
Of Washington I'm the near future. II
the present plains OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury are carried out.
1t is expected that the Panama Canal
treaty will be ratified by the Senate
about the 10Th or 18th of the present
month The payments for the canal
will then become due. Those payments

goes TO the new Panama Canal Company
of France and $1O.0O0.C0O to the republic
OF Panama. This amount must be
drawn directly from the Treasury. There
is. besides, an appropriation of 100000
to begin the actual construction of tho

subject to future warrants and drafts.

The call of the Secretary would mean
the actual removal of $4,000 from the

also be remembered that the sum to be
