Senator Swanson Urges His Bill TO
Improve Highwsy--Hs
First Speech.

ngton.-Declaring that good
roads would save the American peo-
pie $3.50, 100000 annually, while bad
roads impose such mud tax" every
year upon the people who haul their
products TO market over poor country
highways, Senator Claude A. Swan
son, of Virginia, delivered strong
speech in the Senate in advocacy Of
his bill for Federal appropriations
for the improvement of public roads
The Swanson bill provides that the
Government appropriate $20,000,000
annually for the next five years for
improving the post roads and rural
free delivery routes used by the Gov
eminent. The appropriation is
limited to post roads and rural free
delivery routes to remove all Con-
stitutional objections that might pos
sibly be urged
This was Senator Swanson's
maiden speech in the Senate and he
was accorded close attention by his
colleagues on both sides, who were
anxious to hear him despite the
sweltering heat.
There is no question before the
American people today" declared
Senator Swanson, more important
than the improvement of the public
roads and highways.

10000 GET IN GREASE
Secretary Hitchcock Announces
Raise for Rural Delivery
Carriers.

Notwithstanding 10000 rural
free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases
as a result of decision by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock. The order
will provide for the disbursement
during the current fiscal year of $4,-
100000, which will mean an increase
5000 for all carriers on standard
routes, with proportionate increases
on the shorter routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure of this extra $4,000
900, but left 1t to the discretion of
much of it should be expended. Mr..
Hitchcock has decided to authorize
the expenditure of the full amount.
His desire to compensate the carriers
for any additional burden which may
be placed on them if the parcel post
system he has recommended for
rural routes is approved by Congress,
was the important consideration.
Nov that the men are TO receive
such generous increase in pay" he
said, 81 feel that Congress should
lose no time in authorizing the carry
ing of parcels on rural routes A
parcel post system on rural routes
can be conducted without any extra
expense to the government. other
than the s4,O00,0OO salary increase,
which, in my Judgment, would be
more than Offset by the parcel post
revenue"
The rural delivery system was
started Is years ago with SO car
riers, who were paid only $500 a
year On July l there were 41,562
carriers, their aggregate salaries be-
ing S35,793,000.

COST OF LIVING ROSE IN 1910
Bureau If Labor Shows Farm

Fer Can't.

Washington.-The high cost of liy-
ing is no myth. An investigation by
the Bureau of Labor of the prices OF
251 commodities during 1910 shows
that wholesale prices in that yeal
were 4 per cent. higher than in 1909,
and 1.6 per cent. above the average
of 1907, which was the year OF high
est prices since 1890.
In view of the Canadian reciprocity
discussion, an interesting item in the
bureau report shows that the whole
sale prices of farm products were
rs per cent. higher in 1910 than in
1909.
Wholesale prices in 1910 were 10. l
per cent. higher than in 1900; 46.7
per cent. higher than in 1897, which
was the year of lowest prices between
1890 and 1910; 1876 per cent. higher
than in 1890 and 31.6 per cent high
er than the average high prices be-
tween 1890 and 1899.
The highest prices in this decade
were reached in October, 1907, when
a general decline began, which con-
tinued until August, 1908. A rise
then set in and there were monthly
increases without a break up to
March, 1910, when wholesale prices
reached the highest point in 20 years.
They were then 21.1 per cent. high
er than the average of 1900; 1872
per cent higher than the yearly aver
age of 1897, and 1913 per cent. high
er than the average price of 10 years
between 1890 and 1899.
Then followed slight decline, and
from June to December, 1910, prices
remained nearly level, and at the
close of the calendar year 1910 they
were still 80 per cent. higher than in
the 10-year average between 1890
and 1900 and Asa per cent higher
than the record set by the high price
year 1897. OF the PSI commodities
considered in the investigation 14S
showed an average increase, &c
showed no change and SO decreases.
Prices of lumber and building ma
terials increased 10.7 per cent; farm
prouuctS, 40 per cent; drugs, III
per cent; food-stuffs, 80 per cent;
clothing. 81 per cent, and the mis-
cellaneous group of commodities, 81
per cent. Housefurnishings decreas-
ed OF per cent. and fuel and light 3
per cent.
Some extraordinary variations
were recorded during 1910. Pota-
toes increased 800 per cent; eggs,
80 per cent, coffee, 60 per cent, and
mess beef 35 per cent.

MAN FINDS HIS LAST DOLLAR

Chicago.-A dilapidated one-dollar

was dreamed of by a writer of fic.
ton. The legal tender, which bore
a message of despair written on its

The man who had written the mes.

New York state, who fifteen years ago
went west to find his fortune. Bad
luck followed all his undertakings.

for the commissioners in attendance
on the fifty-third annual general as
sembly by the United Presbyterian
church in session here.
The Rev. ]. Wallace, of New Shelf.
field, Pa, presented a petition ASKING
for back pay and demanding that he
be reinstated as pastor of the church
at jamestown. Pa, in accordance with
a decree of the Allegheny county
courts made twenty years ago. AS the
result of dissatisfaction in the con
gregation two decades ago, Mr.. Wal
lace was removed from his charge by
the presbytery.
He refused to leave, and the church
cut off his salary. Wallace took his
case through all the church courts and
lost, but finally won a favorable de
cision in the county courts. The mat
ter was referred to the Judiciary .om
mittee for final action

We have the poorest public roads
and highways of any civilized nation
OF the 2,155,000 miles of public
roads in the United States, less than
100000 miles are macadamized and
improved with hard surfacing. More
than nine-tenths of the public high
ways of the United States during
rainy seasons are almost impossible
No other enlightened people are
cursed with such a wretched condi-
ton"
Senator Swanson said neglect in
this respect had been one of the
greatest misfortunes that had affect
ed Americans as people. The rem
edy should be applied as quickly as
possible. The internal commerce of
the United States, he said, exceeded
the inter-foreign commerce of the
entire world, and it was estimated
that so per cent. of the internal COM
merce must be hauled over the public
roads. The average haul was ga
miles, the average cost of hauling
lHeSt plOuuClS q d CcHlS per IOu lille.
The cost of hauling per mile over
the splendid roads of France" con-
tinued Mr.. Swanson, lis on an aver
age Of cents per ton mile. The
average cost in England and Ger
many is about II cents per ton mile.
If the more important and main lines
of our public roads system were as
improved as those of France, Ger
many and England our products
could be hauled over our entire sys-
TEN of roads at cost of IL cents per
ton mile. This would result in an
annual saving in this item of haul
ing alone to the people of the United
States of more than $25O,0O0, 900,
This" said Senator Swanson, lis
the annual mud tax paid each year
by the people of the United States in
hauling their products over poor
country roads. This loss, if wisely
and properly expended, would in 20
years macadamize and furnish hard
surfacing to all the public roads in
the United States"
Senator Swanson's bill provides
that the States or local authorities
shall furnish an amount equal to
that supplied by the Federal Gov
eminent. 1t was the system which
had been productive of best results
abroad.

Have BEN Trying to Pre-
vent His Return.

Caracas. -Cipriano Castro, self
out with an army of 23 ranchmen
and overturned the government, is in
Venezuela and seems practically as
snred of regaining the presidency.
Even many of the military authori-
ties here assert that the present
regime is tottering and that only
foreign Intervention can save it.
| Castro already has an army of more
than 1000 men. These troops are
equipped with modern army rifles,
using steel packeted bullets.
In the Credit Lyonnaise of France
Castro has on deposit 100000
| francs. He is said to have had the
additional backing of Banker Silvera,
who asserted that unlimited means
would be at the disposal of the exiled
dictator.
From all sides Castro's former
friends are rallying to him. Revolu-
ton has been in the air for months.
Newspapers here have been devoured
for news of the eXile's wanderings
I and of the success of attempted fill
/ busters from the United States gulf
/ ports. Even with prison staring them
in the face, soldiers and civilians
have declared they wanted but one
word to fight for their former chief.
! There is every indication that the
arms and ammunition for the rebels
were sent out of Cuba.
Castro means fight, and fight to a
finish. How large his army may
have swelled by tomorrow is matter
of conjecture based upon how long
it will take recruits to sail to Castil-
letas.
Castro landed at Castilletas, on
| Gejira Peninsula the territory which
was in dispute between Colombia and
Venezuela. This territory is mac
cessible except by ship, and COM
paratively small force could hold it
against all corners. Castro is safe so
long as he remains here, but the gov
eminent knows he will not do that,
and it is likely that the first trouble
will occur in Falcon Province.
In the meantime the Castro forces
have everything to hope for from
their allies in Cuba. With a revolu-
ton on that island probable, if not
imminent, and the whole country ex-
cited, plans are progressing steadily
to ship out ammunition to this state.

wrong about this whole transaction.
Baked by the refusal of the govern
ment to allow the Cunningham coal
land claims, this gang in Wall Street
is evidently determined to secure
control of this coal land. They filed
on the Controller Bay land, the only
available harbor through which the
Alaskan coal can be shipped. before
