WHO PAYS FOR GOOD ROADS?
Editor Day Book:-There is moth
ing so obnoxious to the mind that
is stagnating in blissful ignorance
as reiteratfon. It refuses at first to
notice. It then becomes indignant.
Indignation begets attention, and at
tentiOn removes stagnatiOn and
brings results. The proof of this is
the amount of money invested in
street car advertisements, electric
signs and bulletin boards. If Perkins
Pink Socks are repeatedly. called to
our attention we will begin by hating
Perkins and end by wearing his
socks. Provided the socks are good.
Reformers should note this fact
and not be discouraged.
Crystalline the reform and reiter-
ate. For this reason it is in order to
call the attention of the voters of Chi
cago to the bad policy Of endorsing
so many bond issues, which increase
the debt of the city and the burdens
of the producing forces of the city,
and give the pecuniary benefits of the
improvements wholly to the small
proportion of the people who own the
land upon which we live. This is
wrong. The people who get fnan-
cial benefit by taxation should pay
the taxes. People whose condition is
made worse by taxation should not
be made to pay for their own destruc-
ton. 1t is asked of the voters of Cook
county that they vote an additional
burden of $4,000, 900 upon all the peo-
pie Of Cook county in the shape Of

There are 225 feet of billboards on
each one. 1 can't see how it could be

billboards bring in a big revenue.

Traction Test Starts at Ames.

Amcs, Oct. 30-The traction test on
the u. S. post road built between Colo
in Story county and Beaver in Boone
county, a portion of the Lincoln high
way, will take place this week. Elmer
Johnson, OF the United States office OF
public roads, has arrived at Ames
and is awaiting the arrival of the spe-
ciaI dynometer truck from Alabama
where the last test was just complet-
ed The truck with the constant load
which it carries weighs $500 pounds
1t is fitted with special recording inn
plements which make a permanent
record of the drawbar pull every foot
of the distance travelled as well as the
grade OF the road. The truck has
eight sets of wheels of varying tire
widths. A complete trip is made over
the road with each set of tires. The
first object OF the test is to determine
as accurately as possible the improve
ment from the haulers' standpoint
made in q dirt road but putting it to
an easy grade and maintaing the sur
face in good condition. The test over
the Ames post road was made last
summer before any work was done on
the road. The comparison will be in
teresting and valuable. incidentally
the test will give some interesting
data on the economy of using wide
tires on trucks and farm wagons. The
test will last a week or ten days.

Highway Body Saves for Van Buren,.

Ames. Oct. 3O-The highway com
mission saved its entire cost to Van
Buren, county for the year 1914 cX-
cepting S10.3G on the purchase OF ma
terial for the floor of one bridge. This
saving was made on the one contract
that was sent to the highway commits
sion for approval.
During the summer Van Buren,
county contracted with the Illinois
Steel Bridge company for approx
mately $4,000 pounds OF steel to re-
place the wooden ioists on the Bona
parte Des Moines river bridge at two
cents per pound. The commission re-
fused approval on the contract be-
cause of the high price and asked for
prices on the desired metal from 9TH
Ell firms The Federal Bridge COM
pany offered to supply the material for
$l.S7 and the Des Moines Bridge and
Iron works for SLIT. Van Buren, cOun-
ty officials were notified. Three days
after the notification the Illinois conf
pany made an offer TO cut this price
to $l.75. The commission approved
the contract at this figure. A belat-
ed bid to the highway commission two
days later offered the metal at a still
further saving, Sl.74. The contract
as it came 10 the highway commission
first totaled 1910. AS it was APP
proved it totaled S2.397. a saving of
$343. VAN Buren, county paid into the
state automobile fund up TO q recent
date $4.417 Eight per cent OF this,
which is the proportion that goes to
the highway commission, is S353.36.
Subtracting S343, the saving on the
repair material, from $356.36, the
amount Van Buren, county contributed
to the highway commission support,
leaves $l0.36. the net cost OF the high
way commission to the county for the
entire season OF 1914.
