EXPERT SAYS
ROADS CAUSE
HIGH PRICES

Would Result in 100000
Saving in u. S,
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-Many
are the theatres that have been adj
vanced for the present bugaboo OF
the entire world--the high cost of liv-
ing. But Logan Waller Page, of the
Department of Agriculture. has struck
upon what he claims il the real rea
son the cost OF living is so dIti-
tudinous
Mr.. Pages season is briefly the fact
the roa Is OF the United States are
in such shocking state of disrepair
and no repair Mr. Pages position
as chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads OF the Department of Agri-
culture may have something TO do
with his theory. But he has a num-
Der of apparently excellent arguments
to substantiate Ii.
Would Save S3oo,o00,o0o.
DO you know he asked recently,
while speaking to me on the subject
of roads and the cost of living. that
the people ~ the United States have
il within their power TO save them
selves SSc0.000,00 "A year merely by
improving their roads? Think what
cut such a saving would make in
the cost Of living, Tank what II
would mean 20 each individual budget
to have slice VI this saving.
If the cost Of hauling in this
country were cut down half. or
made equal TO the average European
cost of hauling, which is II IL cents,
as against our % cents the United
states would save itself $3.50, 200, 600
o year. In addition, the nation could
add another $50, 100000 to its income
by passing equitable road laws and
substituting wise and equitable su-
pervision for the present Anticipated
and wastetul system of handling our
roads
Thus YOU see that in the two
items Of hauling and road admins
tration alone the United states has
il in it's power to save the $500 600, 000
| just spoke Of And considerably
more could be added TO this If the
people of the nation could be brought
to realization of how much 1t means
to the future Of the country to have
loads which will reflect credit upon
those who made them.
How Costs Multiply.
in connection with this subject
there are two or three interesting
items proved by statistics in this de-
partment and the Department OF
Commerce, which the average man
does not know.
Are you aware, for example, that
1t costs more 10 deliver q pound of
coffee from the country grocery store
to home mile and a quarter away
than il costs to bring that same
pound of coffee all the way from Rio

DO yea know that il costs the
