Money for Good Roads.

New Mexico as a territory spends
directly $4,000 a year for good
roads. Its counties. this year. will
contribute an equal amount for the
purpose. and under its road-tax law
its $4,000 men of voting age and
not exempt must contribute fully as
much as the territory and the twen-
ty-six counties combined. Add to
this the efforts and means expended
in road making by private enterpris-
es and the work Of forest service
and il is certain that New Mexico
will this year expend quarter mil
lion dollars for good roads. an am
mount which compares very favor
ably with the sums spent for the
same purpose by other states even

TO MAKE THE MOST OF A DOL
LAR.

A member of the Massachusetts
commission on workmen's compensa-
ton believes it wiser to teach the
Nations toiIers how to make a dollar
90 further than to increase their wages
. dollar or two q week. To give men
ana women and children in the shops
and factories more money would but
add to- their economic wastefulness
he believes II his address before the
Twentieth Century club in Boston has
bson correctly reported.
1t appears to The Bulletin to be o
more worthy project to teach workers
how to make the most Of themselves
and ia this process they are very likely
to learn how the better to take care
of dollar.
There doesn't appear to be much
opportunity for the average worker
to waste much on an average days
pay: but there is a large opportunity
in this world to pay to labor fair
proportion of the value of its product.
These endeavors to learn people tc
live cheap are likely to result in thf
employers of labor increasing thei-
percentage of profits.
A system to share some of these.
great profits among the workers who
make them possible would be more
progressive and praiseworthy pro-
gramnle.
