AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS

@Overiopping all other rad prob
lie MS IN its importance Is that OF
maintenace," says Logan Walle,
Page, Director OF the U. S. Office Of
Publi Roads and President Of the
American Highway Association.
"The destructive agencies Of trafii
ard the elements are unceasing in
then activities and il is idle TO tax
OF permanent roads any more than to
speak Of house, fence, or a rail-
road tie as permanent" says Mr.
Page. @The public road. day, by
reason of the exceptionally desiruc-
tive traffic conditions, are more cost
~ in construction and this is eontin
nally increasing with the advance in
the prices of labor and material. 1t
is criminally wsstefnl, therefore, to
invest large sums Of money it, build
ing the highways demanded BY iraf-
fic, unless the investment is conserv-
ed by adequate maintenance. With
out such adequate maintenance a
road costing anywhere from $1,000
10 $4,000 per mile may go to ruin
in year or two thus involving per-
manent loss CT considerable magni.
tnde.
eWiRn it is considered that the
aggregate expenditure on roads in
the United State is well over $780,
100000 annually, the seriousness Of
the question is apparent. | look to
the conference Of highway officials
which will be held during the Fourth
American Road Congress, whirh
meets in Atlanta, Georgia, 90 Nov
ember 8, to devote much att ntion
to road maintenance, and that the
accnmulstive moral effort of their
findings will 90 far towards bringing
legislatures and county boards to a
realization Of the necessity for promp,
and efficient action. The roads
should be classified aud suitable
maintenance, in organization and
money, provided according 70 be i'm
portance of the representative classes
OF roads.
One of the questions which the
Congress will discuss is that relating
to the revision of road laws. A COM
plefe compilation Of the road laws Of
sII The statos will be available for he
session devoted TO Legislation and it
is expected that in outlining bases
for revision, maintenance viii be
given particular attention.

.cnARIrY BEdINs Ar HOME, ;,


The daily newspapers for several
weeks have b,en busy in Baltimore
ur. ing the people to buy bale Of
cotton in order to hello the cotton
growers Of tie ial Sorth. Wnils
this in itself is commen1ah'e, we
think that it would be better policy
for our city friends in his state to
begin at home with their charity.
There are several thousand hogs
heads Of tobacco grown bv the tar
mers Of Maryland lying in the State
Tobacc warehouse and other tohae-
co warehouses 10 Baltimore, some Of
which have been their several months
because there has been no market
for the same.
While tobacco is not grown by the
farmers all over the state it il the rim
cipal crop 10 Southern ,IarYiand and
the one whi-h the farmers here de
pend upon more than any other for a
living. 1t the Baltimore business
mel want to do something to helE
those who cannot fad markets fai
their produce and tn Is are suffering
because Of lack Of funds with whicI
to buy food and clothing they shoulC
begin in their own native state he
fore going elsewhere.
When the situation is clearly gone
over the Baltimore business man vii
find that the lack of markets in which
the farmercan sell his produce notonll
vitality effects the amer, but IN che
end effects them, because the mer.
chants in the country stores usually
carry the farmers on credit from sea
son to Sc ison, or until his tobacco il
shipped and sold. The country mer
chants Of Southern Mary and bul
most, if not all, Of their goods from
ths merchs nts in Baltimore, hence /
stands to reason that If the farme
cannot sell his tobacco he cannot pa,
the merchant and the merchant being
unable to get in any money be can
not pay the big merchants Of Balti
more.
We urge, therefor /, ye business
men of B ltim IRE, to remember tina
sGharity begins at home" Hell

doing charity but helping yourselves
