Road improvements

The national Grange, Patrons OF Hus
bandry, has endorsed bill which has
been introduced in the National Senate
providing for the appropriation OF Sooo
900 for the extension of the works OF the
United States Office of Public Roads in
aiding in the improvement OF the pubic
highways. This bill is recommended by
| the Senate Committee on Agriculture
The bill is a worthy measure and should
be enacted into law. The last quarter
| of century has seen an awakening OF
| the public mind with reference to the
necessity of good country roads. With
the increase of production has come a
corresponding increase in transportation
by wagon, and the farming element, so
vitally concerned over the condition OF
the highways, has been under heavy
burden by reason Of wretched roads.
The condition of highways is an I'M
portant factor in determining the value
of farm land. Wherever good roads
have been built, land values have adj
vanced.
The farming element of the nation in
cludes about forty per cent. OF the popu-
lation, and represents about twenty per
cent. of our national wealth. This rural
population is dependent on the 2,1555,-
900 miles ot public roads in the United
States for their daily intercourse, for
the transportation of their farm prod
ucts to market, for the daily delivery of
mails and for the effective operation of
their public school system. Good high
ways reduce the cost of hauling produce
to market and mean therefore lower
rates to the industrial world and to the
consumer. The superbroads in France,
which have placed the small farmer in
easy communication with the market,
is, according to French economists, re-
sponsible in no small degree for the solid
prosperity of the French Republic
There can be no greater. incentive to
the building of good roads than hard,
smooth highway built by a skilled en-
gineer and brought into direct compari-
son with a rough rutty, unimproved
country road. These experimental street
ches ofgood roads are potent in arous-
ing public sentiment in the direction of
high way Improvement.
The enactment of this bill will result
in widespread and permanent reforms in
the present methods of public highway
construction and maintenance, under
which it is estimated that of the $780,
100000 annually expended for road inn
provement, at least one-half, or $45,-
100000, is practically wasted through
lack of knowledge on the part of the
various local road authorities. The
greater part of this money could be saw
ed by giving these local officials the
benefit of expert advice and assistance
by the trained engineers of a properly
equipped office of Public Roads, and it is
with this object in view that the pro-
posed appropriation is sought.
The farmers of all parts of the country !
are deeply interested in having the work |
of road improvement placed on scien-
tific basis, as they believe that the estab-
ishment of complete system of per-
manently improved roads would do
more to promote their welfare. and ulti-
nately the prosperity of all the people,
han any other reform.

The Value of Shade Trees

1t is almost impossible to estimate
with any degree of accuracy the value OF
shade trees to a community. The nomi-
nal figure of $40 per tree should be con-
sidered simply as a basis for compare
tive purposes, since the courts have held,
at various times, that individual shade
trees were worth $500 or more. Even
this much larger consideration fails to
adequately represent the value of well
grown shade trees. Aside from ascetic
and sentimental considerations there
are real benefits to be derived from a
moderate number of shade trees along
our streets and roadways. These natural
ornaments are not !only pleasing to the
eye, but afford shelter to the mid day
sun, add materially to the personal COM
fort, and, in many instances, greatly re-
duce sickness.
Good shade trees increase the desira-
bility of adjacent property and add
greatly to the value of the premises, and
therefore Villages well supplied with
shade trees have important and valuable
assets therein.
Since it requires a generation to grow
a magnificent maple or elm, these ma
tural treasures should be appreciated at
their true value and be given adequate
protection. Civic pride, if not personal
interest, should dictate such course.
Arbor day comes next Friday and we
trust that it will be generally observed
by setting out trees, a movement which
will be Of great benefit to those who

of souls.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1 have read with a great deal OF in
terest the many communications thai
have appeared in the Peoples Rostrum
under the title. "Why churches fall"
and I must confess that l have not yet
discovered one satisfactory reason.
There are various reasons why
churches fail, but due to the fact that
the space allotted for the discussion of a
subject of this character, although gen
erous, is very limited, it becomes neces-
sary for me to confine my remarks to
but one reason, and that very briefly.
The church was established for the
purpose of advancing the cause of
Christianity II the world and to labor
for the development of those conditions
that would result in the q~uickening of
the spirit in the life of every man, and
thus hasten the coming of Gods king
dom on the earth. but unfortunately
the church has lost sight of this fact
and has strayed into h field of vaude-
VILE and oratory.
1t was the purpose of Jesus Christ
to make the church an all-powerful
factor in the salvation of the souls OF
men from the sinful influences that SO
easily beset us on every hand; but to
all appearances the church has gone
wide of it's mark and has drifted Gun
intentionally %perhaps) into a condition
bordering on a state Of commercialism
and social ambition, while the onrush
of the unsaved, the careless and in
different has reached the proportions OF
an almost uncomfortable whirlpool OF
precious souls that are speeding on to
a hopeless eternity.
l feel tina 1 am qualified to thus ex-
press my views of the situation owing
to my intense interest n many years
experience in church work, and there
can be absolutely no question as to my
justification to make the assertion that

very vivid remembrance of the appear
ance of Halley's come in 1895? And as
the light of the sun was not dimmed
or blotted out by the transit of the fire
mist, of the present visitation, but
shone clear through it, so the light of
science has transformed this harbinger
of terror into a beneficent and welcome
display of the divine wisdom and power
and caused a new sense Of His glory in
the heavens which shows forth His
handiwork.
I am one of a few who are permitted
to see again with altered feelings the
return of Halley's comet and congratu-

AU REVOIR.

1t hardly seems right to let Mr..
Halley's comet go without a single
word of farewell, as it is to be gone
a long time.
Despite the criticism which was
directed at the comet as the result
of the tail incident the visit may
be said to have been a fairly sat-
isfactory one
The evening performances were
interesting, not brilliant. Some COM
planned that the comet exhibited
mistaken economy in keeping the
cyanogen turned down SO low.
Be that as it may we have for the
comet nothing but the kindliest
feelings and wish 1t a safe journey.

The Tariff Not Oppressive.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-The talk of the tariff being unjust
and oppressive seems to me to be going
too far-like all schedules there may be
items which can be singled out as not
being defensible, but taking the matter
at the present date the tariff, as a
whole, has resolved itself into hat of a
revenue tariff, protection being its Incl
dental feature.
This may sound absurd on it's face,
but on a closer inspection of the facts,
assuming the population of this country
to be one hundred millions, the cost
per capita of tariff paid in 1909 was less
than six cents per week and reckoning
as five to each adult would be thirty
cents a week, so you see the traditional
Thirty cents does make the critics
of the tariff look up to see where they
are at.
Within a few millions the revenues
east and west of all the Pennsylvania
ines was equal to all the revenues OF
this government. A curious coincidence
is apparent when the difference between
the exports is shown to be about the
same as the sum collected by the tariff.

MILLIONS FOR ROAD-MAKING.

NV EW YORK STATE, with its S50,000,000 State appropriation
AN for improved roads, is making great Roadway in roadbuild-
ing. There are now 1000 miles of road under construction.
On m dy there were 10000 men and teams employed. Munich
paHties this year pay 81 504, 675 and the State appropriation con.
tributes 81 ,593, 070. These, together with amounts for bridge work
and special roadway improvements in towns, make a grand total
of s5,1s5 1897 to be expended this year alone. The State Legislature
has appropriated 81 100000 for the maintenance of State roads
already constructed. New Jerseys long and patient work of road
improvement looks quite small in its results besides that in process
of accomplishment in New York, but the Empire State contains
10000 miles of earth roads and 5000 miles of gravel soaSs. There
b vastly more to be done in the Empire State.

Fl NUISANCE OF CONSTABLE HOOK.

DORIS arising from the large oil refneries at Constable Hook
w affect the west shore of the Hudson much more than the
Manhattan shore. The New Jersey authorities have never
disturbed the business of these refneries, and apparently the State
Board of Health has n objection to the odors. The New York
commissioner of health has objections, and at his complaint Gov
ernor Hughes has directed the New York attorney general to pro
coed against the refneries as nuisances. 1t is something OF an
advantage to have a neighbor, less tolerant of a nuisance than our
selves. who has the spirit and energy to rise up against it. New
Jersey ought at least to share the expense of the legal proceedings
in this case.
