ROAD DRAG IS BEST YET
BULLETIN SAYS NO CONTRIV-
ANCE EQUALS IT FOR ROADS,.
Department of Agriculture Cooper
ating With State and County Au-
thOrities For Better Roads.

thOrities For Better Roads.
WASHINGTON.-The road drag is
the simplest and least expensive con-
trivance yet devised for maintaining
earth roads, according to the experts
in the United States department of
agriculture, who are cooperating
with state and county authorities in
work for better roads.
Properly used the drag gives the
needed crown to the road, smoothes
out ruts and other Irregularities,
spreads out puddles of water, there
by accelerating the drying of the
road and makes the surface more or
less impervious to water by smearing
over the so-called pores in the earthly
material The cost of operation de-
Ponds, of course, upon local condi-
lions and the thoroughness with
which the work is done. 1t is safe
to say, however, that it is less ex-
pensive than any other efficient sys-
tenn of upkeep.
Road Drag and How 1t Is Used.
Farmers Bulletin No. 597, of the
department of agriculture, discusses
under the title of The Road Drag
and How 1t Is Used" the best meth
DDS of maintaining earth roads in
good condition by this simple device.
In this bulletin the department points
out that of more than 100000 miles
of public roads in the United States
only about 100000 miles have been
given a hard suface. 1t is true, of
course, that a large part of the re-
naming mileage consists of roads
that are entirely unimproved, and
that on roads of this class the drag
is practically useless. There is
much larger mileage, however, that
has been partially improved, and it
is on roads of this character-rOads
that have been crowned or drained,
but have not a hard suface-that
the use of the drag is advocated.
What Road Drag Consists of.
In it's simplest form the road drag
consists of an ordinary log split in
half and the two halves connected
like the uprights of ladder by
means of cross sticks or rungs set in.
The log should be about seven or
eight inches in diameter and six to
eight feet long. 1t is better to have
it of we'll seasoned hard, tough wood.
The two semi-cylindrical halves OF
the log form the runners of the drag,
and are usually spaced from 80 to
SO inches apart. The from runner is
always placed with the split surface
of the wood facing forward, but the
rear runner sometimes has its round
ed face in front. This is done in or
der to increase the smearing action
of the drag as it passes over the sur
face of the road.
Since the weather plays so import
ant a part in the matter it is not
usually possible to arrange contnu-
Gus employment for teams on the
road. It is therefore desirable, when
nossibIe. to have the dragging done
by persons interested in the road,
who will do it in the intervals of 9th
err occupations.

NATIONS HOPE LIES
IN THE WORKINGhAN
WELFARE OF LABORING CLASS
is GREATEST QUESTION CON
FRONTING COUNTRY.
ASSERTS SECRETARY WILSON

SAYS Society Has Allowed Private
individuals or Corporations to
Hold Certain Rights Only For Its
Protection and Development.
WASHINGTON welfare of
the laboring class is the greatest liv-
ing question that confronts not only
this but every other country" said
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Labor in discussing the labor ques-
ton in the United States today.
Take care of labor and the country
is bound to be prosperous and its
people happy I have tried to con-
tribute the best efforts of my life to
solve this question, and it is my am
bition to continue to do SO until 1
am called away.
Il am a sincere believer in union
ism. / believe in organization as a
means of protection for all kinds OF
labor. l cannot see how the employe
could secure even small share OF
Justice without organization. / look
upon any industry as a partnership
in which the employer and the en-
ployes are the partners in production.
They have a mutual interest in Sc
curing the largest production for a
given amount of labor, and it is only
when it comes to a division of the
profits that their interests begin to
diverge."
His ideal condition between the
two parties is as follows: "a condi-
ton of partnership and of equal
rights. There is an implied partner
ship now, but the difficulty is that
the employer does not recognize it.
He assumes that his plant is his prop
erty, and that he has a right to do
with it as he pleases. He fails to
grasp the idea that there is no title
to property that is not a law-created
and law-protected title.
Holds Title From Society.
Society has allowed private indi-
viduals or corporations to hold GER
tain rights only for its protection
and development, and it can modify
that title for its protection. There
fore, when the employer claims the
factory as his own to do with as he
pleases he fails to realize that he has
no title to the factory except so far
as society permits
Being asked his opinion on strikes
Secretary Wilson said: Instead OF
strikes wages should be made as high
as possible as return for producing
capacity. I do not believe in compul-
sorry arbitration, but both sides
should work out their differences
mutually, otherwise one or the other
is always dissatisfied.
THE law creating the labor de-
partment aims to solve labor ques-
tions. One of its duties is to act as a
mediator between employer and en-
ploye. Mediation presumes collective
bargaining. There can be no collect
i've bargaining unless labor unions
are represented on one side and en-
pIoyers on the other. Consequently
our government has recognized the
partnership between labor and CAPT
