BENEFIT OF ROADS TO NON.
AUDITING PROPERTY OWNERS

| Washington, u. G., Nov c. The
road building specialists OF the De
partment OF Agriculture, in Bulletin
No. 1856, entitled Highway Bonds.
have the following to say about the
benefit Of we'll constructed highway
to property owners whose property is
not directly on the road to be im-
proved:
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads, il will be
found necessary 10 omit many roads
the Improvement Of which is greatly
desired by abutting landowners. The
fact that such property holders must
pay tax for the bond issue is only
an apparent injustice, for IL the high
way system 10 well planned the entire
county will feel the benefit of the i'm
provement, As rule, main market
roads reach the majority Of produc-
ing areas, and when they are inn
proved all land values tend to increase.
The fact that cities and larger towns
are frequently taxed for bond issues
to build highways outside Of their
own limits is sometimes made a point
Of debate in bond elections Ii in
argued that because a large part OF
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit Of such clues and towns,
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. IL
is even urged that the expenditure
should be mde proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. II the proceeds Of highway
bond issues were distributed in this
way, their purpose in many cases
would be defeated The primary OBJ
ject Of the county highway bond issue
is to build county market roads and
not to improve city streets, although
a high percentage of the assessed val
uation may be city property. 1t is
now known that the expenditure Of
city taxes on country roads is
sound principle and that it is one Of
the best features OF State aid for
In Massachusetts the city
Of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent Of
the total State highway fund, but
not mile of State-aid highway has
been built within its limits. New
York City also pays about 60 per cent
Of the cost of the State highway bonds.
Some State laws prohibit the expen-
diture Of proceeds Of State highway
bonds within corporate limits Of cities
Or towns.
The improvement Of market roads
results in improved marketing condi
lions which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their
and development. The
development Of suburban property for
residence purposes is also dependent
upon highway conditions and it is
becoming evident yearly tha. what
ever makes for an increase in rural
population must be encouraged. Since
he introduction Of motor traffic, coun-
Try highways are used TO an increas-
ng extene by city residents. In fact,
he cost Of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
~ the presence Of city-owned motor
,ehicles. The general advance in
ABILITIES for doing country business
rom town headquarters when roads
ire improved is no inconsilerablc fac
nunity.

Inventnr Of the AIrbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and OF
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872, superseding the non-automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1859, and later the West
lnghouse vacuum brake was invented
But, as in the case of most other In
v%entions, there are several claimants
for originality In this field. Thus

Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The

USE OF A MONEY.

w.
The mayor of Grand Forks. N. D. "a
temperance state), says: I'VE have
one of the cleanest, most up-to-date
little business cities in the Union.
Our population Is only about fifteen
thousand, but our bank clearances are
more than those of most cities Of 25,-
900 or 10000 people" He enumerates
their municipal utilities and public
improvements, among which are mod
ern, up-to-date school buildings, and
tells us that they have practically no
paupers. ION the other side Of the
river, in Minnesota" he says, they
have about thirty-fve saloons and
everything else that goes with them.
Their improvements amount to very
little, their taxes are as high as ours,
and no decent person wants to live
over there; in fact, a large number
of their business people live on this
side of the river, with their families"
Minnesota tax money takes care OF
her paupers and other dependents.
North Dakota's tax money goes for
schools, filtration plants, street light
ing, good roads and other public Inn
provements.

STORY IN SALOON STATES.
The following is an excerpt from a
letter received not long ago by the
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league in the state of Washington:
81 have just returned from a rail-
road camp in the mountains. / have
800 in my pocket. l need $50 worth
of clothes. l know l should buy them
today. / am trying to make myself
think | will buy them today, but l
know in my heart that l will not buy
them. In two hours from now Will
be drunk. l do not want to get drunk,
but the thirst within me Is so dreadful
that | cannot make you understand 1t.
Those in my condition know it well.
Hundreds of thousands Of moderate
drinkers will some day understand 1t.
but those who do not drink at all Will
never know.
Before the week is out a friend Will
advance me money to get back to my
work. l will return to the city within
q couple Of months and l will do this
same thing over again.
Temperance may not save me. but
had there been no saloons fifteen years
ago l should have been today a re-
spected citizen. Total abstinence will
save thousands of boys now growing
up, and the father or mother who
votes to retain this most cursed OF all
curses is not worthy the name OF
either father or mother.
IF you could feel the thirst in my
throat at this minute you could under
stand the words l have written, but
hope you will never know 1t. nor your
children, nor your children's children
There is nothing new about this
letter, remarks the superintendent. ex
