HOW ONE COUNTY IN OHIO
RlIILT GOOD ROADS

Paulding county In northwestern
Ohio, has a population of about 2S,
900, Its boundaries include 25S,9S4
acres. II has, by the last census, g.,
1888 farms, averaging 65.6 acres each
which means that only little more
than fifteen ssuare miles OF the coun.
ty territory is included In towns and
villages and not devoted TO forming
purposes. Paulding is principally ar
agricultural county, says the Good
Roads Magazine,
Farm land in paulding county was
valued, ten years ago, at from s35 to
$50. per acre. Today these same
farms are worth from 500 to $3.50
per acre; an increase in round figures
of from 200 TO 300 per cent
The main reason for this advance
in values in a strictly farming local
ity is the intelligent investment that
has been made by the property own
ers In providing high ways. RoaS
building has proven the most valuable
crop for these farms.
II was just ten years ago. May 3.
1898, that the first petition for an inn
proved pike was filed with the county
commissioners: this was for IT'S
miles. Since that time there have
been improved 253.67 miles of high
way, there are now under construc-
ton 1922 miles. and there are 1864
miles allowed by the commissioners
which are TO be built in the imme-
date futue-a total of more than
425 miles of road provided for in
ten years.
The hard roads OF Paulding county
have cost a large sum of money. In
the past decade there has been paid,
in principal and interest for this pur-
pose. by the farmers of this county,
$500, 0dd, and there is bonded in
debtedness at the present time of
$573.2S4. which will bring the total
cost. when these bonds with interest,
are lisuidated,, to something like one
and three-kuarters million dollars.
The first figures given, however. show
that this investment has already paid,

at least 200 per cent profit. And If
from this cost should be deducted the
amount of the annual expense and
labor which had previously been ap-
for road work to no per-
manent purpose. the figures of profit
would be even more impressive.
In doing their work of improve
ment, the taxpayers of Paulding coun-
iy have operated upon a plan which
IS open to criticism, because II in
Tolved question that never has been
ind, perhaps never can be adjusted

The Paulding county solution of
his problem is that one-third of the
cost of construction shall be assessed

two-thirds shall be paid by

No Compromise.

"The statement that the Beckham
forces were consulted or agreed in
any way to the program through
which w. B. Haldeman, Mr.. Beck
ham. Senator Paynter. Senator Nc
Creary and Mr.. Mayo go as delegates
at large. is incorrect. The Beckham
forces were not consulted and did not
know anything about II. II is not a
compromise or surrender. The other
people are simply in control"

Lexington. Ky, June 12.-(Spe-

dorses Beckhams administration and

brief. There was no mention OF tenn

open effort was made either in the

a temperance plank in platform,
which was adopted without comment.

Among these things II the passage
OF the new currency law. The plat
form will claim credit exclusively for
the Republican party through the
passage OF a law which will enable
the banks to supply the country with
plenty of currency. when there Is
need for a. In the same plank the
party will pledge Itself to carry on a
more comprehensive reform of the
whole banking and currency system
In the near future.
Especial credit will be taken TO
the party for the passage OF the rail-
/ road rate law. There will be sug-
gestion that railroads should be al

right to regulate rates.
Attention will also be called to the
passage OF the meat inspection and
the pure food laws.
Turning to the tarif. which Is the
most important feature policy OF the
incoming administration. the Ohio
plank is adopted practically intact.

! tion for the maximum and minimum

meeting and overcoming the possible
discrimination by foreign. countries.
In the platform will be- found, as {
have previously indicated. declara-
ton in favor of some sort Of regula-
ton OF the issue OF securities by In
terstate railroads.
The platform will. however. make
! Il absolutely clear that this policy
does not contemplate in the remotest
degree any attack upon the validity
or the value of any existing securi-
lies whatsoever. The policy Is dis
tinctly assigned TO the future, and H.
specifically said to be in the interests
of the public so that the people may
safely invest In railroad securities
without fear of extraordinary loss.
There Is in the tentative platform
a declaration in favor OF the anti-in-
junction policy already enunciated By
President Roosevelt.
One OF the salient features of the
Roosevelt policy which will be noted
with appreciation in the tentative
platform, and which the party will
be asked to pledge itself to continue,
embraces general scheme of inland
Improvement, including the creation
of forest reserves, the conservation OF
the natural resources of the country,
including lumber, coal and metals.
and the systematic and comprehensive
Improvement OF the inland water
ways. There may be no attempt to
stand out for specific forest reserves,
but there will be a clear declaration
of policy in favor OF the genertl prin-
ciple.

River points. The new rate was an

conflict the tariff, if less than the

in this instance, and Mr.. Ober an
nounces that the new rate will be but

shipper, is reported to have said he
will not object to the new rate if the
service is good. He is right in that
view as it seems to me. We must
have quick service and our fruit must
be hurried through in reasonable
time. 1t may require good deal OF
knocking to secure this and some law
suits may be started, but in the end
we will get better service. We havo

The question is often asked, "Will
not the apple business be overdone?"
This is an old question that has been
coming up for hundred years or
more. But that fact does not prove
that the business may not go beyond
profitable limits The planting of ap-
pie orchards in the New West is some
thing to make us stagger. The blsi-
ness may be overdone. The peach
business has been overdone in Geor-
gia, according to the statements OF
some of the leading hOrticulturists. |
would not be dogmatic about this
matter, but it seems to me that where
we raise the highest grade Of apples,
the business will continue to be prof
liable for many years to come. l
make the following clipping from one
of our exchanges and think it one
of the best things l have seen on this
question of overproduction:
when William P. Stark, president
of the Missouri State Board of Horti-
culture, was in Wenatchee few days
ago he addressed the Commercial Club
of that city. He is quoted thus by
The Republic:
""The East is looking to the West
to supply the great bulk Of the good
fruit. The fruit industry is sadly on
the decline. The trouble with us Is
that the weather that makes bumper
fruit crops is Tie kind that cuts down
the corn crop. The two do not go
together. Then the pests have got
the best of our orchards. We simply
cannot raise the kind Of fruit back in
the East that you produce here. The
little exhibit that noticed this MON
ing in one of your hardware stores
would be a revelation to most Of the
Fasteners. 1t beats any hing that we
can do The fact of The matter Is tina.
there are a large number OF our
fruitgrowers who are looking to the
West for new homes, and to properly
inform myself as to the advantages of
the different sections Is one of the OBJ
jects of my visit here at this time.

The Bankers Mistake.

It is pretty plain that the American
Bankers Association convention sue
ceeded in neutralizing the value of its
condemnation of the guarantee of de
posits, when it also adopted a declara-
ton against postal savings banks.
There Is a strong wing OF public
opinion in favor of postal savings banks,
and it is represented very largely by
people who don't believe in such eco
monte aviation as guarantee of deposits.
The bankers might have declared
against the latter proposition, and kept
still about the former, and preserved a
considerable influence with the com
munity. But the declaration against
postal banks Is construed as new evi-
dence that the bankers want to dis
courage anything which even suggests
interference with their grip on the

over 1t seems short-sighted. The postal
savings plan is a guarantee of deposits,
and also a guarantee of better Govern
