Medical officers believe that when this
experience on the Mexican border is
over Ii will have been demonstrated that
the medical service of the army in COM
parison with 1908 is revolutioniZed, and
that demonstration will be given of
how to keep the army in good health.
The pestiferous fly was found in 1888
to be one of the greatest obstacles to
the preservation of the health of the
troops. Arrangements will be made
about the various camps to guard
against the conveyance of disease by
other things, the location of camps will
be carefully studied with a view TO
protecting the health of troops.

Big Trusts Control
Most of Business
In Mexican Republic

The reason for Wall Streets interest
in Mexican, affairs and controlling fac
tor in the determination on the part of
this Government TO preserve the in
volatility of the Monroe Doctrine, is to
be found in the gigantic investments in
that republic made by American inter-
ests.
From authoritative sources 1t is esti-
mated that the trusts have at least
500, 900, 900 tied up in Mexican invest
ments. Te total of American capital,
according to estimates of consular Of
ficials, is nearly 81, $1,000 600
The Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate,
for instance, absolutely controls the
copper output of Mexico.
The Continental Rubber Company,
which is affiliated with the Standard Oil
interests, and which controls Is per cent
of the worlds output of rubber, domi-
mates that industry in Mexico. 1t has
concessions for rubber lands in prac-
tically all the States of the republic.
The Waters-Pierce Oil Company, a
Standard OIL corporation. has COM
plete monopoly of the retail oil bust
mes It Is estimated that il sells nine
tenths of all the oil in the republic.
The Hartman lines own or control
three-fourths Of the railway lines In the
country.

sugar concessions from every state and
territory in Mexico. II pays no tax on
machinery or supplies, and dominates
the industry.
The Weils-Fargo Express Company
is without serious competition on all
railway lines
These are the trusts whose interest In
Mexican industries is open That the
financial interests are intimately in
touch with Mexican affairs is shown
also by the fact that l.. N. Brown,
president of the ,Banko Nacional, OF
Mexico City Is a member OF the board
of directors of the National Railways OF
Mexico, which Is controlled-in meas
ure, at least--by the Southern Pacihc or

Federal Highways for North Carolina.

Federal Highways for North Carolina.
If a bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, be-
comes a law, seven great highways
all originating in Washington and
radiating to the various sections of
the country, will be constructed by
the Federal Government. These sew
en- roads would pass through all but
six state.
North Carolina would be favored,
by securing two OF the great high
ways should the bill pass congress.
The Monroe National Interstate High
way would extend from Washington
to Austin, Texas, via New Orleans
It is stipulated that this road should
go by way of Charlottesville, Va,
through North Carolina to Atlanta.
The Lee National Interstate High
way is another of the proposed roads
which would extend from Washington
to Jacksonville and Miami, Florida
The bill provides that this road shall
extend by the most direct route
through Virginia via Richmond, North
Carolina via Chr1eston, thence to saw
annah and Jacksonville.

Governor Crothers said:
What France has Done.
France has appropriated $612,900,-

ago, and this amount was only partial

made have long since faklen into de-
cay. Millions of acres Of the most
fertile lands on this earth have been
donated to the construction of
transcontinental railroads, and vast
sums Of money given to them as sub
sides. Ships have been fioated on
government money, and the rivers
have long been pensioners of the
United States government. The cost,
of living has steadily increased. and
the corporations that control the cold
storage warehouses have enriched
their owners with the sale of the good
things Of earth at fabulous prices,
while the mud was drying up and the
roads made navigable for the tillers
of the soil. 1t is the vast population
of u great commercial centers and
overcrowded cities that demand good
roads to enable the producers OF this
great land to supply cheaper daily the
markets of the nation. Railroads are
today crying for navigable roads as
feeders to their lines of transporta-
ton and thus prevent shortage of cars
and secure a steady flow of freight,
consisting of farm products largely.
The national government is de-
handing if fer the transportation of
the country mails now served at an
annual loss Of $4,000, 600. The farm
ers and land owners demand it and,
will have it as their just dues, which
have been so long neglected and
tri1ed with by the representatives in
the national congress. Every artery
OF the social and commercial life is
demanding it, and the problem of
cheaper living for the people will only
be solved when the national V
has risen to the emergency and
met the demands of our citizens for
cheaper bread by menas of cheaper |
and reliable transportation of the
food products to our market quickly
