The Canal Vote.
l am criticised because did not
vote with President Wilson on the
canal tolls matter. This has been
threshed out time and again, but l
had as we'll say something about
that, too. One of the main arguments
.or going to the enormous expense
of building the Panama canal was
that it would open short water way
Republican, and this fact was widely
commented on throughout the eoun-
try between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, and would insure cheaper
freight rates across the continent and
to and from the middle west to the
two seaboards. We built the canal
with that understanding. Free tolls
for coast wise vessels was one OF the
main planks in the Baltimore plat
form, and this plank was spechcaIly
endorsed by President Wilson, Mr.
Bryan and other Democratic leaders
during the campaign. They told us
the platform meant Just what it said.
I believed that then, and I believe
it now. When / became a candidate
for reelection to congress two years
ago 1 signed the pledge, required by
the State convention, that would
support the principles and policies
of the party" Free tolls was consider
ed a Democratic principle and a
Democratic policy. We passed a law
providing for free tolls in the Sixty
second congress, and it was a sur
prise to all of US when President Will
son came before US suddenly one day
last spring and demanded that we
-epeal that law. He gave no reason
for his action, and he has given none
since. l have never been able to lind
any satisfactory reason for voting to
repeal the law, and I did not vote
that way. Other Democrats, Speaker
Clark, Mr.. Underwood, the Demo
cratic floor leader, Mr.. Kitchin OF
North Carolina, who will be the Demo
cratic leader in the next congress,

NEED OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Country Is Good Hiehways-Spe-
cial Action Necessary.
(By RALPH PARSHALL, Colorado Ag-
g ricultural College)

CBy RALPH PARsHALL, Colorado Ag-
d. rtcultural College.)
A busy growing nation such as ours
certainly requires internal improve
ments to keep pace with its prosperity.
Our prosperity is measured by indus
trial activities and such activities are
scattered in all parts of our great
commonW ealth
There are several essentials to pro.
mote this growth aud one of the chief
of these is that of good roads or high
ways.
Investigations have shown that the
average horse can exert at a walking
pace a traction pull of about one
eighth to one-tenth his weight. As
suming this to be about the correct
value, what effect will the kind of
road have upon the load the horse is
able to pull?
On an asphalt pavement it REQUIRES
80 to 70 pounds pull to move one ton.
on a sand road 100 to 200 pounds pull
to move the same road. We might
conclude that the limits are so to $50
pOuHuS lot the pest 10 the pOOTeSt
surface. This one horse, say of 1900
pounds weight, could draw load OF
| five tons on the smooth asphalt pave
ment and only 1900 pounds on the
soft sand road. These figures are only
approximately correct since they are
average values, but sufficiently close
to give US some idea of the relative
value of good and poor road surfaces
Before any district or state can fully
realize the value of good roads, spe
cial action on its part must be neces
sary. This action must embrace three
things; a non-political organization
whose purpose is to provide goot
roads; a practical and economical
construction, and maintenance
There should be one or more gooC
business men on the board of control

should be a member and there shouli

an engineer who knows his business.
The engineer should also be chief
engineer of the construction with as
many assistants as necessary to carry
on the work of road building. Some
states of our commonwealth have
made the state engineer the chief
engAneeT of a road commission whose
personnel is composed Of business
men. lawyers, and engineers who re-
ceive NO salary and are appointed by
the governor Of the state for a definite
period Of time.
