COST oF BAD ROADS.

Cost of good roads is frequently
mentioned by those opposed to high
way improvement but there is an
other angle that should be viewed in
this connection and that is the cost
of bad roads. This feature, it
should be noted, forms no inconsid-
cradle item in the general question
of the high cost of living. William
C. Redfeld, secretary of commerce,
writing on this feature of the road
problem says:
The inefficiency from bad roads
makes it cost something like 900,
100000 year merely to cart our
cotton crop from the fields to the
railway station. / think few people
realize the immense tax put on us all
by bad roads and inefficient hsndling
81 have said that if our farmers
once realized the awful tax that bad
roads impose upon them public opin-
ion would sternly demand the max
ing and maintaining of good roads
everywhere. 1t now costs the farmer
twelve, yes, twenty or more, times
as much per ton mile to move his
goods to the railway station as it does
to move them on the railway after
they leave the station. The farmer
indeed, in bad cases and at certain sea
sons may have to pay as much as 81
ton mile, while the railroad carries
the freight, when it once gets it, at
an average of three-quarters of cent
per ton mile"
A thorough system of good roads
would strike an immense blow at the
high cost of living, and this, of course,
would be added to wherever motors
can be substituted for horseflesh.

EXCELLENT RESOLUTIONS.

Secretary Geo. N. Raymond is in
receipt of the following which is to
be commended:
'With Colorado's forward movement
for the development of it's roads come
many problems. One is that of the
defacing of the public highways with
unsightly advertising signs. The state
highway commission has power to
minimize this evil, and we trust that
you may see fit to take action on
this matter along the lines suggested
in the following resolutions:
Whereas, the beauty of its scenery
is one of the great assets of the state
of Colorado, and the defacing of the
scenery by the placing of advertising
signs upon the public highways is a
growing evil, and likely to become
very serious unless prompt action is
taken to suppress it; and
"Whereas, the placing of such signs
upon the public highway is, as we
are advised, contrary to the provisions
of section 1905 of the Revised Stat
utes of Colorado of 1908; now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, that the Colorado
Springs chamber of commerce, acting
through its board of directors, strong
ly recommends that the state high
way commissioner and the advisory
| board use such powers as are given
! them by law to require the county
commissioners of the various counties
of the state to compel the removal of
all advertising signs of every char
| acter from the state highways of the
state, and prevent the placing of any
such signs upon the said highways in
the future; and be it further
Resolved, that copy of these
resolutions be sent to the chambers of
commerce and other commercial
bodies of the state, with request that
they join in this recommendation.
| "Very truly yours,
"A. w. HENDERSON, Secretary"

letin, C. H. Robinson and F. B. jerks,
to account for the relatively higher
remuneration for those who teach
agriculture. When the subject was
first introduced into the schools a
short summer course provided suffl-
cient training, but with the extension
of the work to include several years
of careful high school study under
scientific farming conditions, there has
cnrae a demand for trained agricul-
tural teachers that has exhausted the
supply Furthermore, many of the
states are giving aid to local high
schools for agricultural instruction, SO
that these schools are able to pay
better salaries for teachers of agricul-
ture than for teachers of other branch
es.
Not only is it found that the aver
age pay of special instructors in agri.
culture is higher than of other teach
ers, but that teachers who are able
| to give such instruction in addition
to regular work command better sal
aries than they otherwise would ant
are more likely to be advanced to prin
cipalships than if they did not have
| the agriculture.

This is the way Henry Clews & Co.
New York bankers, view the present
situation: In business circles there
is increasing conservatism accompa-
MED by general slowing down; this
tendency being on the increase at
western trade centers. Bank clear
ings at all cities in the United States
during April showed shrinkage of
nearly 6 per cent compared with a
year ago, the largest decline being in
the New England and middle states,
where tariff changes would be most
felt. The failures in April aggregated
$1S,000,000 in liabilities, a moderate
increase of about $2,OOO,0O0 over last
year. Real estate operations show
contraction with year ago. This re-
action is partly due to the caution
of bankers, who are discouraging over
expension, and are anxious to
strengthen their reserves before the
autumn demands, which may be very
heavy, begin to assert themselves. An
added cause of hesitation is the new
tariff and its possible effect upon val
ues.

JAPANESE ARRIVE TO SECURE
FIRST-HAND INFORMATION

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-Brief
statements have been issued by Ayao
Hatori and Soroku Ebara, the Japa-
nese who arrived to inquire unofficial
ly into the situation that has brought
about the California alien land leg
islation. Mr.. Ebara's statement,
couched in diplomatic phraseology, did
not indicate his views on the issue.
Mr.. Hattori's, however, was vigorous
of purpose.
81 have come here" he said, "as
the representative of the liberal party
of Japan. The treaty we have with
America rs deficient and I advocated
its revision. AS to the land law ques-
ton, l think that we should secure
the right of naturalization. With re-
gard to naturalization of the Japanese,
it seems to me that Japan is almost
unanimous in demanding the same.
But how 20 secure it is not decided
yet.
81 am member of the Japanese
Peace society. We hope to solve this
problem peaceably and honorably."
Mr.. Ebara's statement follows:
81 have come here as the represen-
tative of the constitutional party, the
majority party of Japan. My mission
is IN the interest of establishing bet
ter understanding between the United
States and Japan. The people of ia
pan are in sympathy with the Japa-
nese in California and they are en-
deavoring to help them out of trouble
in a peaceable manner. AS to the
California question, l am not yet in a
position to speak, because l am not
well versed in this problem. Before /
make any statement, l wish to see
and investigate the conditions of the
Japanese in California. l want to
study the cause of this agitation.
want to see and hear as much as
possible before 1 report to my party"
Mr.. Ebara, who is 72 years of age,
is termed one of Japan's grand old
men," He is a Christian and a COM
moner. Ever since he commanded a
regiment in the revolution of 1868 he
has taken prominent part in public
life.

The opinion of District Attorney
Rush that under the headless ballot
initiated and passed last fall, judges
and clerks of elections cannot aid il
literate voters in marketing their
tickets, is along right lines. The man
or woman who cannot read or write
should not be permitted to vote. This
especially applies to the foreign ele-
ment. If they have not been in this
country long enough to master the
English language and enable them to
vote intelligently, then let them wait
until they can.

of the laws now on the statute books,
which relate to the proper care of
state highways.
Two Of these laws in particular are
going to receive immediate attention.
One relates to the overflow of irri-
cation bitches, and the other to the
erection of billboards and other adj
vertising signs along the public high
ways.
The overflow from irrigation ditch
es is one of the worst factors to be
contended with in keeping roads in
first class shape. The law against
this is stringent, but in almost every
county in the state little or no effort
has been made to enforce it. 1t is the
intention of the Colorado Good Roads
association to urge the state highway
commission to enforce this law in
every county in the state, and if nee
assary to bring into court those who
allow the roads thus to be destroyed.
The advertising sign along Colo
RADIO highways is also becoming quite
nuisance, and in many cases de-
stroys the beauty of the country. The
state highway commission will also
be asked to take steps to enforce this
LAW. whenever possible.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Colorado Good Roads
association held in Colorado Springs
recently it was the unanimous opin-
ion that these laws should be en-
forced and an active campaign will
be waged in an endeavor to arouse
publib sentiment so as to make the
maintenance of good roads the aim
and object Of all interested in better
highways in Colorado.
In an effort to bring about the en-
forcement of the laws above referred
to the aid of every commercial and
| coed road organization in the state
| is to be asked. The action of the
Colorado Good Roads association in
| urging the enforcement of these laws
upon the state highway commission
will be brought before organizations
of every kind and character that are
Interested in the care and improve
ment of the roads of the state, and
they will be asked to join with the
&c cd roads association in the request
made to the state officials.

DETAILS OF DROWNING
OF HARRY L. PEARSON

H. l.. Pearson, l2 Purcell street,
with a sudden impulse, while in COM
pany with his brother, Norman Fred
erick, left his side when the two were
seated near the Assiniboine river at
the foot of Cornish street at o'clock
last evening, and jumped into the As
siniboine. The act was witnessed by
others. Pearson, who was a good
swimmer, kept his head above the
water a considerable time after ris-
ing to the surface from his dive, but
finally sank and is believed to have
been drowned. The friends believe
that he was mentally deranged.
Norman, the brother, is a cripple,
but he managed to follow the drown
ing man as the tide carried him down
the river. He was later Joined by the
driver of passing rig, and the two
watched the drowning man until he
sank to the bottom. The story of
the tragedy as told by Mr.. Pearson
was as follows:
81 was sitting on the river bank
with my brother at the foot Of Cor
nish street. He rose from the place
and left my side silently, and, walking
to the waters edge, without the slight
est remark in regard to his intention,
jumped into the river. He was fully
dressed. When he rose to the sur
face, he swan to midstream. / saw
him swimming for several minutes
down the stream, and it would be
about half mile from the point that
he jumped into the river that he final
ly sank. He had been greatly de-
pressed for several days, but was
healthy and robust, and he was a
powerful swimmer. He was SO years
of age, s feet II inches in height and
his weight was about 1870 pounds. He

A. R. Elliott, who belongs to the noble
army of working men, had very red
face, and later when the Rev. Holmes
met Elliott's father told him his son
was drunk. The father told the poor
working mans wife, and children, and
that night when Elliott went home aft
er hard days work he found sup
PEERLESS house, and his family in tears.
The family said: "The preacher says
you are drunk" 1t seems that Ell
lott prides himself upon being tee
totaler. He was tired and hungry, but
started out to find that preacher, and
when the preacher limped home black
