II is the government of the United

Is 1t wise govei nment?
Well, that depends upon the point
Of view. This Is what the govern
mcnt does:
II is announced in Official orders
that a board Of army officers. con-
sisting of two captains. and a Ieuten-
ant colonel shall meet in Washington
and examine horse and appraise its
value. Some one wants to sell a
horse TO the government. and before
Uncle sam can purchase it. its merits
must be solemnly passed upon by an
army board
It Is estimated that the officers as
signed to this board viii consume the
greater part of one day in perform
ing this duty. Two captains at 50
4" n year. and n lieutens mt colonel at
$1,000 n year make total OF $4,000 a
year In salaries represented by this
board.
In other words. 4 Is to cost the I'm
ted States government the services
of these three officers for one day. or
more than $27, in order to decide what
pric, shall be paid for said horse.

Sam ten or fifteen dollars on the pur-
chase price.

just made by th9 United States ONCE
of Public Roads show that saving
of between half billion and bill

the states would improve twenty per

The Public Roads Office estimates
that this Improvement would cost
each state about $lOOO,O0O, but that
the tremendous yearly saving would
more than make up for any oxpendi-
ture of this kind. Appeals will be
sent out To each state asking that the
