HOW PRESS MAY AID IN WAR
Col. Roosevelt Suggests co-operatior
with Army and Navy

Washington. Feb. IA letter from
Col Roosevelt favoring a policy of CO.
operation between the military and
naval authorities and the press was
read In an address before the Naval
War College extension today by J.
Callan OIaughlin on The Relation
Of the Navy and the Press Before and
During War"
Col. Roosevelt took the view that
newspaper correspondents at the
front could not only perform a large
public service. bnt that by proper CO
operation between them and military
and naval commanders the service
would be 10 the advantage OF the MILL
tary establishment as well.
Mr.. O'Laughlin read other letters
from editors and war correspondents
on the advantages OF such co-opera-
ton. He suggested that the present
Mexican situation afforded an oppOr-
tune time for a conference between
military and naval men and represen-
tative editors from various parts OF
the country; to determine on a gener-
al policy Of cooperation during peri.
DDS Of military activity.

Ness WAS
HELD FOR
MAY TERM
Bond Was Fixed at $4,000
Which He Says He Will be
Able TO Furnish

Ben j. Ness. charged with having
attempted to bride members OF the
state legislature. was BOUND over 10
the district court under bonds OF
$1,000 at the conclusion of the pre-
liminary hearing Saturday evening.
The reduction of Ness bonds from
$4,000 to $4,000 was agreed to by the
prosecution upon the representation
by the defendant that he Would be
able to furnish bonds in that sum.
Ness case will come before the dis
trict court at the May term.
Saturday nights session of the hear
ing was brief. it having been contin,l-
ed from Saturday morning, when the
testimony of Representatives Divet.
Twichell and Mrs. Mckenzie, house
t%senographer, was heard. The testl'
mony of these three witnesses was
merely re.teration of the testimony
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1913-03-02

given by them before the house bar
on Thursday. .".. &aa..
The first of the hearings in the
Ness case in the district court was
held during the morning and. Twichell
and Divct Were again on the stand
and gave practically the same testl-
mony as they did before the house.
Mrs. Mckenzie was also OF the stand
and gave about the same testimony
she did before the bar Of the house
when Ness was being tried here. She
did bring in the name of Chief Clerk
George of the House, but several days
ago Mr.. George appeared before house
select committee and fully satisfied
the members thereof of the fact the
snuff bill had been properly handled
at the desk. and his name was not
brought out during proceedings be-
fore the house. no questions being
asked Of Mrs. Mckenzie which would
open way to use OF his name. The
house committee was fully satisfied
that that record was straight and that
Ness reference to George was on a
par with the manner in which he had
brought other m out.
At the evening session Representa-
1ivas BARLEY. BOllinger and We!s were
called to the stand to testify with re-
sardsto certain statements that have
beer made with regard to Bartleys
connection with the csc. 1t is stated
quite freely that there will be more
developments in the case and that
they will come out when the trial IT

where natural lake asphalt is used as
a binder for the stone and also for
sheet asphalt surfaces. are now in the
hands of the city engineers through.
out the state. and the information
which can be cleaned from these
specifications. which are the standard
in the east, will be helpful in the work
which is planned here.
The building of mora roads in this
vicinity would bring hundreds OF tour
lists here every veal and the money
which these visitors would spend
would spend would help contribute
towards the prosperity of every bust
ness merchant. Every merchant here
should be a staunch booster for more
roads because Of -he increased trade
he would receive. OftentimeS farm.
ers and others are prevented from get.
ting to the city on account Of impas-
sable roads and this loss of trade is
felt by the merchant. At the present
time the state has very few good roads
which are at the service OF the farmer
and the need of them is keenly felt.
Highways which are passable at all
seasons of the year have helped to re.
duce the high cost of living in many
sections. When market conditions ia
vor the farmer he is Oftentlmes pc
vented from getting to town because
of muddy roads. and should he make
the effort it is necessary to use foul
and six horses to haul q load, which
two horses would ordinarily draw. The
merchant is also benefited as II
makes his farming trade steady and
enables him to buy his lots Of mer-
chandise with more certainty of reg
ular sales.
With a bituminous road a farmer is
permitted ease of traction for hauling
his loads to the market center. Ac-
cording t the United States govern
ment statistics the cost of hauling
over a Door road is Is cents per ton
mile. as compared to 10 cents per ton
mile over a bituminous road. Where
good roads predominant four and six
horse bitches are unknown, ever in
the transporting of the heaviest wagon
loads. A farmer in New York state
can haul as much with two horses as
the North Dakota FARMER a WIN
four and six: and the eastern farmer
must meet heavier road grades than
| those of this section. There is a con-
| sequent reduction in maintenance all
| around: and should it rain for a week
the eastern farmer al get to town
whenever he pleases.
When bituminous roads We're first
! agitated in the east there were strong
objections from the farming interests
on account of the supposedly heavy
tax. Every piece of highway legisla-
ton al blocked and it a not until
a special session was called in New
York that the first budgets for roads
were approved and passed. After a
few miles Of bitumirOus roads were
built in different sections and the
farmers used them for a time. the

ROADS IS ALL
NORTH DAKOTA NEEDS

to build roads without doing business
through a clique of politicians. 1t is
believed that this System will revolu-
t!onize the paving and roa' business
and give the people, who in SONIC form
pay the bills, more for their money.
The use of blown oils and paraflnes
and other highly distilled materials
has proven costly to many cities and
states because it has been found that
they are without ductility and have
not the necessary binding or cement
ing qualities to bind the road or street
properly. This experience was uni
versal in the east and ii was not until
a pure, natural bitumen was used thai
this waste a stopped.
Very often politicians discourage
road building. When highway con.
struction was started in nearly all OF
the leading road building states it was
more or less of all experiment with
the materials used. 1t was found that
there were "jokers' in some OF the
specifications and many contracts
we're 'skimped" by the builders. The
political organizations, contractors
and a few chosen others protited at
the expense of the people.
When it was seen that the roads
were fast going to pieces, under the
constant pounding and pulling OF
heavy traffic, there was a howl from
the public and an investigation was
started. In addition to showing that
favoritism existed it was also brought
out that the materials we're not up to
the standards necessary for a perma'
nent road or boulevard. The education
which were gained through these in
v%cstigations had its effect in the let
ting of the city paving contracts and
the selection of only those products
which would serve for a permanent
and lasting highway.
Cheap pavements and cheap roads
are not considered good investments
by those who are best capable OF
Judging. Maintenance upon them is
usually excessively heavy and no mat
tier how much is expended on a cheaI
pavement or road it always remains
poor and sometimes impossible high
way.
Fly those who know. it is admitted
that the counties of North Dakota are
going into the road building bushes:
on a scientific basis and that the mis-
takes which were made elsewhere viii
not be made here. The specification

sentiment began to change. 1t was
seer that passable roads saved many
farming difficulties and raised land
values TO figures higher than those
anticipated. If the eastern farmer
hash t got a good road fronting his
farm today he wants to know the rea-
son why. The farmers Of North Da-
kota lost enough money last year thru
poor roads to build a highway sixteen
feet wide from this city to the Mon.
tana state line.
