The Wrong Road Policy

Yhirty-seven counties in Michi-
gan have adopted the county road
system. A county tax is levied
and three commissioners are elect.
ed to expend the money thus COL
lected upon permanent improve
ment of the maintraveled highways.
For every mile Of macadam road
thus built the state pays to the
county a reward of q thousand
dollars, and five hundred dollars
for each mile of gravel road.
Thus if a county builds ten miles
of good roads the state presents it
withenough moneyto build approx
imately two and a half miles more.
Other counties of the state re-
tain the township system, by
which each little locality attempts
to look after it's own roads. Esti-
mates show that of all the money
spent last year under the township
system about seventy-6ve per cent
went for merely patching up poor
dirt roads, SO as to make them
more or less passable for some
months longer, when the same
amount will have to be expended
over again for more patching;
while of the money expended un-
der the county system ninety per
cent went to make permanent roads
that can be kept in good condition
by comparatively small expense.
The ~patching-up plan. would bank
rupt any railroad in a few years.

cess In Raising Price Of
Coffee.

Encouraged by the success 1t has
achieved in controlling the coffee crop.
of the republic and forcing Americans
to pay a high price the Brazilian gov
eminent is now planning to enter into,
q combination with Portugal and.
Ecuador to corner the cocoa crop and;
and manipulate prices at will. (
These three countries produce more
than half Of the worlds output of!
cocoa, and Jose Marcellino, a Brazilian;
who formerly served in the senate of;
that country. is the father of the plan:
to whoop up the prices Of cocoa the
world over.
A large London banking house isl
reported to have offered $40, 900!
to the promoters of the valorization'
plan in case the three governments
interested will enter into q satisfac-
tory agreement. Valorization Of cof-
fee by the government of Brazil has
been very successful. The government
has financed the crops and by lending:
money to growers has been able to
prevent the sale of coffee, except at
prices which were satisfactory to tho
growers.
A few years ago, when the United
States took the duty Of Ave cents q
pound OF coffee. Brasil repaid this
country by placing a export duty Of
the same amount on coffee. In repay
mont for this greedy act it has fire.
quently been argued that the United
States should again tax Brazilian COT
fee and many economists insist that
the imposition Of a duty on coffee
would upset the Brazilian valorization
plan without increasing the price Of
coffee to the American consumer.
Cocoa is a much more difficult crop
than coffee to control. because of the
perishable nature of the cocoa beans.
When kept for any length Of time they;
become wormy and are worthless.
