HE WILL NOT IMPROVE.

TEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- Among my numerous male ac-
auaintances | have one whom l
think ! could learn to love, and
whom ! know loves me. He has
often spoken of marriage TO me,
but I hesitate on account of his
peculiar actions. He very often
saws and does things which hurt
my feelings. after. which he i'm
mediately turns around and apol-
oEizes and claims he does so be-
cause / do not show that l love
him. Can a fault of this nature
be remedied after marriage.
DOUBTFUL.
The reforms that women have ac
compished after marriage are so rar,
that il is past belief that any cir
has faith in her ability TO reform
any man. If this man has no re
gard for your feelings now, he viii
nave less after marriage. You ar,
seeing the best i'm him now.

OPEN HEARINGS ON TARIFF.
Demand to Be Made When House
Bill Reaches Senate.

A determined fight to obtain full and
open hearings on the tariff bill before the
Senate finance committee. when that
measure comes over from the House. will
be made. Senator Gallinger, chairman
of the republican caucus of the Senate,
said last night that one of the repub-
lican senators would move. when the bill
was referred by the Senate to the
finance committee. to instruct the COM
mittee to grant such hearings.
If the democrats vote solidly against
this motion-the program of the finance
committee being not to grant any fur
Their hearings, though persons interested
in the various schedules will be allowed
TO present briefs to the committee-the
proposition will. OF course. be lost.
However, Senator Kern. democratic
leader Of the Senate, yesterday afternoon
issued a call for a democratic caucus at
IL O'Clock tomorrow morning, and IL is
understood that the question to be dis
cussed is whether any hearings should
be granted on the tariff bill by the
finance committee after the bill Is actual

PROVIDE GOOD ROADS
AND SAVE A BILLION
Former Senator Bourne Pre-
diets Substitution of TraC-
ton for Horsepower.

With good roads traction will he sub
stituted for horsepower and this will
mean an annual saving or s1.Go0OCO.0Go.
according to former Senator Jonathan
Bourne. jr.. who has submitted a plan
for roadway Improvement to the joint
committee on federal aid for the construc-
ton Of post roads.
Expenditure of S3OOOOO.OOO by the
government and the several states for
highway Improvement is at first thought
a startling proposition. even though the
expenditure be distributed over a period
Of fifty years. but when we consider the
magnitude of the interests affected IL
will be seen to he wise investment.
said Senator Bourne last night.
Statistical Showing.
There are in the United States some
So.GDO00 acres of farms worth about
S3tOO.U0cOO- There are some 22.Oo.-
90 working horses and mules on these
farms, costing annually for feed and keep
about 81. 16OOu0.OO. With good roads will
come substitution Of traction for horse
power. with probable saving o. a bill
lion year.
MY plan contemplates the expendi
ture of $1,000. 900, 900 for road con-
struction and $4,000. 900 year for
fifty years for maintenance by the
government and the states. making
total of $4,000. 900. 900 in fifty years. If
the expenditure for construction in
creased the value of the farms only
per cent the owners would get back
Immediately in property values more
than the amount of the Investment If
the amount expended annually for road
maintenance reduced the cost of haul
ing 80 per cent. the saving would
cover the cost OF maintenance
Estimated Benefits.
In my opinion. the adoption of my
plan would double the total value of
farms and reduce the cost of ROAD
hauling IS per cent.
AS a plain business proposition. ex-
penditures on road construction and
maintenance offer larger returns on
theSinvestment than anything else Of
which | am aware. In my opinion.
roads are of far greater economic and
social Importance than pending tariff
and currency legislation combined
