BETTING IN LOCAL objections.

BETTING IN LOCAL ELECTIONS.
Reports have 1t that something like
$4,000 in wagers changed hands as the
result of the recent election in Rich
plond. The amount Is large for a city
in which local campaigns usually ex-
cite too little interest. It doubtless re-
fleets that spirit of partisanship which
row and then flashed out in the pre-
liminary oratory.
Probably betting on local elections is
feature which should be discouraged.
The more complete the dissertation
between pocketbook and ballot-boX, the
better and surer the canvass. A wager
at once raises the money issue. and; II
1t is big enough, tends to substitute
that for the simple element OF personal
preference or for whatever principle
lnay be involved. Moreover. where
large interests are thought to be at
stake. It Is easy to see how the osten-
sible bet might be made the basis for 4
corruption of the electorate.
Fortunately no breath OF suspicion
attaches to the recent election here.
so far as we are informed. there has
been no suggestion or hint of any in
sidious use of dollars. But, on the
whole, the old-fashioned election bet,
whose penalties were an abstinence
from shaves for a period Of time, or
sporting a straw hat through the win
ter months, offers the more ideal out
let for tactional feeling.

IN each case the nomination went to

with the candidacy until after a long
contest bNtween Grant. Blaine. Sher-

Blaine, in 1851, was the only Repubi-

figures are based on careful and ex-
haustive tests. They demonstrate tina,
the actual cost of hauling. per ton
mile, is 81 cents over dry, sandy roads.
SO cents over earth roads of the usual
muddy md rutted variety, ll.9 cents on
broken stone roads in ordinary condi-
ton. and cents on broken stone roads
in good condition.
| This means, concretely, that good
roads pay ample casn dividends, and
that the saving which they make pos
sible far overbalances the cost Of con-
struction. A road of broken stone
means consistently reduced expenses as
SCI $4,000 to haul the wheat crop
to the railroads in 1906. This was an
average price. for all drayage, Of 10
cents ton-milc. But where there were
improved roads, the figures show that
the drayage cost was only 10 cents per

good roads, the producers Of them
would have saved s27,ooo,ooo.
