American Needs henesciar,es The
national benefit to the United States Is
twofold. First. 1t is obvious that the
Monroe doctrine is more vital in the
neighborhood OF the Panama canal and
the zone Of the Caribbean than any
where else. There, too. the maintenance
Of that doctrine falls most heavily upon
the United States. 1t IS therefore es-
sential that the countries within that
sphere shall be removed from the
jeopardy involved by heavy foreign debt
and chaotic national finances, and from
the ever-present danger Of international
complications due to disorder at home.
Hence the United States has been glad
to encourage and support American bank
ers who were willing to lend a helping
hand to the financial rehabilitation Of
such countries because this financial re-
Mobilization and the protection OF their
custom houses from being the prey of
would-be dictators would remove at one
stroke the menace Of foreign creditors
and the menace of revolutionary dis
order.
THE second advantage to the United
States is one affecting chiefly all the
southern and gulf ports and the bust
ness and industry Of the south The re-
publics of Central America and the Car
ibbean possess great natural wealth.
They need only measures Of stability
and the means of financial regeneration
to enter upon an era of peace and pros
perity. bringing profit and happiness to
themselves and at the same time creating
conditions sure to lead to a fiourishing

you belch undigested food and feel

a rough finish. He has been making
inquiries regarding pavement pro-
cesses, and from what he can learn of
the cement pavements laid in a few
eastern cities he is inclined to think
they are best adapted to this country,
being very solid and enduring, while
the cost will probably be little or no
greater than asphalt and rock.
The matter of freight rates on rock
for comm mercial purposes has been TAX
en- up with the Southern Pacific com
pany, and it is understood a tentative
agreement has been reached whereby
the railroad will give rate of 81 a
ton for rock hauled from Declez quar-
ry, near Ontario. This is a very low
rate and is designed by the railroad
as an encouragement to the people of
the valley to carry on public works.
The cost of this work will probably
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
fifty or sixty thousand dollars, but
the benefit to the town from so extern
sive improvements would run, far be-
yond the cost, and it is understood
that almost all the property owners in
the district which would bear the cost
are in favor Of the work, Mr. Holt
alone having to pay for about 900
fleet frontage.
Pavements are the one thing now
needed to give the town a metropoli-
tan appearance, and the sentiment
seems to prevail everywhere to put in
the best work when it is first done
that there need not be continual re
pairing.

As the taxpayer who would be hit
hardest by a paving campaign in Ell
Centre, w. F. Holt was asked to give
his views on the subject. with the re-
suit that he has gone on record in
favor of an extensive line of work.
Mr.. Holt takes the ground that the
work of paving the business district
should only be taken upon a basis of
broad enough scope to make it worth
while, and he thinks the project should
include at the start all Of Main street
from Third street to the canal and
Fifth and Sixth streets from State to
Broadway, giving a paved block in
each direction north and south from
the two principal street intersections.
He thinks it will be a good deal
easier to make one project of the en-
tire work than to carry through a por-
ton of the work and later induce
property owners to add to the paved
district.
Third street, where Mr.. Holt would
have the work begin, is a block east
of the railroad, and he thinks the
crossing Of the railroad and the block
east should be covered to make the
work of real benefit to farmers and
others coming in from the east.

ment pavement, built just as are side
walks, except that they will be giver

The local schools begin their work
in rather crowded quarters, and this
