THE RAILROAD BONUS.

The proposition that Albuquerque
raise a bonus of approximately $780,
900 to be paid over on the completion
of the proposed Gulf, New Mexico e.
Pacific railroad from Roswell to
Pennington by way of this city is a
reasonable one, and, judging by Albu-
querque's past performances, there is
little doubt that an energetic can
vass will result in the subscription of
the necessary amount 1t is propos-
ed that fifty per cent of this amount
be paid over when trains are running
over the proposed new railroad into
Albuquerque; twenty-five per cent
when the toot-toot of the Gulf Limit
ed wakes the echoes in Roswell and
the remaining twenty-five per cent
when the line is in operation to Farm
ington.
This latest railroad proposition
however, one of the biggest PROPOSE
tions ever put up to this, affords ar
excellent opportunity to put things
on new and more business-like
basis. 1t cannot fail to appeal tc
public-spirited men who in the past
near and remote, have put up theiI
good money for an equivalent which
was never delivered. A railroad, q
competing line, from San Juan coun-
ty to Chaves county, opening up all
line communication from the heart OF
the Rocky mountain empire to the
Gulf coast through the city of AL
buquerque, would be worth a lot more
to this city than 100000 1t is nc
eNaggeration to say that if this rail.

STATE AID FOR ROADS.

In 1911 the Wisconsin legislature
adopted a policy Of state aid for road
building, voting an appropriation of
S35O,000 annually for that purpose.
This annual appropriation proved
to be a great stimulus to highway
construction. Most of the counties
that had not been doing anything in
that line woke up and began to build
roads when they found that the state
stood ready to assist them.
When the Wisconsin Legislature of
1913 met it was so thoroughly com
mitted to the policy of road improve
ment, and was so well satisfied with
the showing made under state aid,
that it increased the yearly appro-
priation to S1,200,000. 1t is rather
remarkable fact that in both senate
and house only seven votes were cast
against this heavy increase. At the
1911 session it was with much diff
Guilty that $350,O0O was voted, and
pi ito i4iei pdooaBC tiiS pii was
successful by the bare margin of one
vote.
Every county in Wisconsin now has
complied with the requirements for
securing a portion of the states ST.
100000, and in 1914 road building
will be in progress in all the seventy
one counties of the state. In all,
something like a thousand miles of
highway have been constructed un-
der the state aid policy, some of it
macadam, some of it gravel and
some of it mere shale and clay. In
addition the state has built twenty
six miles of concrete road and expects
to build more, because of the lasting
qualities of the concrete and the con-
sequent low cost of maintenance.
