NEVER LET ROADS WEAR OUT
Boston Man Returns From Trip
Abroad and Tells Of Superiority Of
European Highway

Well satisfied that the European
countries have little to teach this
country in the way OF manufacture Of
motor cars. J. II. MacAlman, president
Of the Boston Automobile Dealers as
Eociation, returned recently.
1t was a vacation trip for Mr.. Mac
Altman, but he took care to note the
state Of the motoring industry in the
different countries and to observe the
condition Of the highways. While
praising the magnificent systems OF
highways in Great Britain and on the
Continent, where he found roads ey-
erywhere equal to our best, he is Of
the opinion that the magnificent care
that Is taken OF them The principal
roads are under national control. and
are never allowed to wear out All
along the main routes Of travel there
are posted at intervals men who have
a supply Of road material at hand. and
when hole appears in the road sur
face, the road repairers at once pound
stone into It and stop the wear. The
traffic over these roads Is heavy, but
on none Of them, according to Mr.. Mac
Altman. is the traffic as heavy as that
over such a road as the Revere Beach
Parkway and other main avenues Of
motor travel out OF Boston What
struck him particularly forcible In
England was the fact that no matter
where he wanted to go there were
first-class roads. due to the fact thai
England has been building good roads
for centuries. while the good roads
idea In the United States is scarcely
a score OF years old

President Has Plan TO Increase

est Institutions.

Beverly, Mass.-Radical Legislation
in favor of the American farmer and
consumer as a means of solving the
question of the high cost Of living was
urged by President Taft in letter to
the governors of all the states
President Taft proposes to reduce
the cost of foodstuffs on the American
dinner table by reducing the cost to
the farmer of producing his crops.
This would be done by establishing in
the interest of the farmer financial
machine which would give him access
to all the money centers Of the world
and afford him credit at greatly re-
duced rates and upon more advan-
tageous terms than be now receives.
The complete development of our ag-
ricultural resources which this would
make possible, thinks President Taft,
would go long way toward settling
the problem Of the high cost of living.
"What this plan offers" writes
President Taft, is means to secure
this country greater productivity, al
less cost, from the farms that are now
under cultivation, and, above all, t.
give us more farms and more farm

The plan suggested is based upor
the principles of agricultural cooper

President Taft, is essential to th'
successful adoption of this plsn and b,

states to conference upon this sub
ject at the time of the annual meeting
of governors in Washington in Decem

to the dairy interests Of the United
States, regardless OF locality. The

orators as the prime necessity to the
production OF better butter For the

the farmer to improve the quality Of
his product Producing cream under

possible condition generally costs more
work and more money than the pro

long as cream is paid for on n hai
scale at SO much per pound Of butter
