ELKO ROMANCING

The romancer is abroad in the land. His
habitat is the wide world and his name is
legion. However, he seems to have an in
n merable progeny in Elko. One of his
breed imposed on this paper by giving
false and misleading information concern
ing the subdivision OF the II ranch. lie
told the Independent man that the owners
of this ranch had been offered more money
for the property en-block, than they were
willing to take for ii IN small parcels, to
actual home builders. That kind OF loyal
ty to the best interests OF the county Of
Elko and the state at large, appealed to us
so strongly, that i feature article was
written and given prominence in these col
umnS which was widely copied by the
state press.
The Independent, here and now, makes
an abject apology to the state press for
giving publicity, TO what appears to have
been a scheme to dispose of a very
valuable property without the usual adver-
Using expenses. Inc owneTS do not appear
to have been wise To the scheme and knew
nothing about the tactics adopted ny one
of the agents, having charge of the sale OF
the ranch, but this paper was imposed
upon nevertheless. The land was not sub
divided and sold in small holdings, as we
were told would be done, but one tract OF
$4,000 acres was sold in a body and therein
praise OF loyalty to Elko county falls flat.
There is nothing to il. Water and oil won't
mix. The next irresponsible fellow, max
ing wild and improbable statements, will
have a hard job getting his statement pub
liShed in these columns as a news item.

The National Highways Assoeia- tion is an institution that should have the encouragement of the na- tion. This newspaper is one of a rapidly growing number, which be- Ieves that for permanent peace and benefit to humanity, the build ing of six million dollars worth of highways Is a thousand time more beneficial than the building of a six million dollar battleship. If we must have a standing army in times of peace. let that army spend its time in constructing highways and building irrigation dams and ditches instead of exercising in needless cross-country runs and wasting physical energy in extrayagant dis play marches and costly sham bat ties
 For years congress has annually appropriated millions of dollars for the widening and deepening of dry runs and sand-banked rivers, or T which an ancient mud scow makes biennial trips with a cargo of clam shells for some button factory. Yet tne same congress refuses to con tribute peso for the building of Highways through the splendid agri- cultural lands
 For the ,ack of convenient ae- cssslbility Go the agricultural lands, of which the nation has millions of unused acres. improved lands are becoming almost unpurchasable with a consequent increase in the price Of farm products which pro hibits the consumer from securing sufficient necessities of life without wreckiug his finances.
 The last report of the secretary of war says that 1t cost nearly one hundred and fifty millions of dol lars Co maintain the United States army during the year or lSll' anu the amount is constantly increasing That amount is spent each year for the purpose of killing or preparing ,o kill men. women and children The same amount spent in peace ful agriculture. in the building of roads and the opening of natural resources would feed and clothe and give IrNuries to the nation.
 The Highway Association says: It is a question which is slowly but surely forcing itself upon the Ma tionaI Legislature. Many Senators and Representatives now believe that the building of a system of National Highways is of more economic importance than any Oth- or public work-mOre vital than the question Of a large navy, more Usesul nan any river and harbor improvement, more necessary than the Panama Canal.

ways are built and owned by the people and are free to all the peO- pie. A few years ago road bills had short shritt in COngress--at present there are nearly a hun dred bills before Congress dealing with road building in one form or another.
 Although the good road" idea has been gathering force and head way for many years, it's advocates ar still pulling in many directions. Some road associations want state Highways with National Aid. Others want State Highways without Ma tionaI Aid. Still others want good roads paid for by the counties through which they pass, without any aid. One, at least, believes fl; mly that the question is not only one for States. Counties, Cities and Towns, but for the Nation.
 The National Highways Associa- ton believes that the beginning of a comprehensive good road system for the Nation must be made by the Federal Government.
 It Is universal experience that one mile of good road breeds an other mile. Put a Statewide, good road down anywhere in this coun- try, and in ten years there will be dozens of good roads reaching 1t from all parts of the State. Put down system of National High ways, built and maintained by the National Government, and the var ious State Legislatures and County officials would soon see the advan- tages of connecting all parts of the States with those National roads.

The question that is uppermost in the minds of the electors of Alaska IS did we elect our senators and rep eseptatives to frame needed laws for the general good, or was it for the purpose of furnishing them with an opportunity to grab off an appointment and quit the du- ties that were conferred upon them and which they sought and prOmis- @ to fulfill? Already the names of some of the members shine out with deeds that they are trying to ac- complish for Alaska. Then there is putrid and sickening atmosphere rounding the attempt of others to accomplish selfish ends

of the klondike who are engaged il
oromoting a drelge propos ton in
