why PAVING COSTS so MUCH.

The Register and Leader at Des
Moines makes complaint because paw
ing contracts were let in that city for
concrete paving at $1.6s per yard, as
phaltic concrete at STA per yard and
bitulithic at Sail. The Cedar Rapids
Republican seizes upon these prices to
boost for the paving brick combination
and during the whole time the Com
mercial Club Of Sioux City, Is 50 proud
Of Sioux City's $1.10 concrete that the
boosters Of that town are.inviting town
councils to come and see their paving.
Thus We have the paving game as it is
played thruout the country.
Bitulithic Is a concrete pavement
with wearing surface of asphalt and
crushed rock mixed together according
to q patented process. It makes q
good pavement but it IL 80 ridiculous
to pay from % to so cents per yard
to a patentee when the same materials
can be mixed by any first class en-
gineer that price around 81 for 1t be-
comes an extravagance. Creston proved
this by pirating bitulithic at SLss dur.
ing the same year that Grinnell paid
S2.13 for the patented pavement.
Concrete six and seven inches thicl
has been contracted for in Iowa thi.
spring - low q ti.s1. It should MOI

Ohio last year at prices close to u. Des
| Moines has paid fancy price, to %
sure.
The concrete pavement when laid
| will crack in places. The best or II
will crack much less than a poor grade
but in cities in which the adminlstra-
ton is not disposed to give concrete
bad name for the benefit Of some other
material these cracks are promptly
raked out and filed with asphalt. we
then have a pavement made of irresu-
| lar large blocks Of masonry filled with
asphalt.
Were we to use brick We would
start with concrete pavement for the
| base and the brick top would be nearly
all cracks every three by eight inches
apart filed with asphalt or cement
The only difference would be that the
cracks between the bricks would pre-
sent a heater and more uniform APP
pearance. The brick top makes dur
able pavement and so does the con-
crete at SO per cent of the cost.
The state of California with slS.ooo.-
900 of state money and county money
averaging from 100000 TO $1,000
900 to the county has adopted quite
generally the concrete pavement with
just a skim coat of asphalt for
cushion and finish to cover UP the in
evitable cracks which nature uses FOR
expansion and contraction. 1t is called
painted concrete by those who would
sheer at all forms of cheap paving but
it looks like first class asphalt and
can be kept coated at very reason
able expense.
1t is true that s1.6s is extravagant
for concrete when other towns get II
for s1.25 or Whereabouts but ii does
not follow that some other administra-
ton could not get the minimum price
An asphalt cushion costs more and is
worth the price provided the specl-
ncatlOnS 90 not protect Collle i1'o''
opoly. If the specific lake owned by
some paving company is named as the
only lake asphalt to be used the price
will be whatever the favored owner OF
that lake bed of asphalt may make II.
Likewise in mixing crushed rock OF
VARYING sizes with bituminous as
phalt, a method exceedingly common IN
all OF the great road building states OF
the east 1T will cost handsome mar
gin on the price to specify some one
patented formula for mixing, whether
it be any Of the many trade names
under which this method of paving has
been put on the market. II an asphalt
top is wanted on concrete pavement
the thing to do is to have a competent
engineer specify as to how 1t shall be
mixed and not turn the fixing of the
price over TO any one who is protected
from competition. There are few phil
anthropists in the paving business.

RossIxe BuzzARps At VERA CRUZ.

For the first time since Vera Cruz
been in existence 800 years.
The buzzards are Mexico's health de-
partment. They have lost their jobs at
Vera Cruz. American soldiers under
the direction of Surgeon General
Gorgas have left nothing for the buzz
yards to do.
And with the buzzards have gone the
bull ring and the sniper. In the place
OF the matador and his cheering ad-
mirers have come the khaki clad ball
players and the American fan
Will this change be permanent? Will
it continue after Funston withdraws?

But there is hope. The constitution
ailsts. Carranza and Villa, have called
DR.. Quiteras from Cuba. Quiteras is
the Gorgas of Cuba He is doing in
Cuba what Gorgas did in the canal
zone.
The constitutionalists propose to do
in Tampico what the Americans have
done in Vera Cruz. There is healthful
rivalry. The buzzards are going to be
robbed of their jobs at Tampico.
It is possible that the leaven which
has been injected in Cuba, the canal
zone and Vera Cruz. may penetrate all
Mexico without more than the further
kindly advice Of the United States. If
this be so. we'll and good.
The whole purpose of all concerned
in this Mexican affair should be to
serve well the Mexican people This
can only be done by robbing the buzz
yards of their jobs and making Mexico
a decent place for law abiding people
to live. If the Mexicans can do this
alone. Amen! If they need help. it
should be rendered. The health and
well being of fifteen million people
should not be longer left to be cared
for by buzzards.

Thai AUTO TAX.

Editor T-R What is tho trouble
with this auto tax. proposition any.
wayo We hear Of il from I'll parts OF
the stste. Can not some me suggest
a more satisfactory way Of handling
it? Doesn't the state need an enl-
cheney expert on thesjob? Only satur-
day night we read that Frank Oppice
and son are hauled UP for running
car without 1914 number. Now who
is Frank Oppice? He is The principal
fruit dealer in this part Of the state.
He practically grew up n ere. raised
family, and is credit 10 Marshall
town. He occupies a high priced To-
cation on Main street and built fine
home on North Center. -Now does any
one think for a minute that Frank is
trying to evade the law, and expects to
get out of paying this pal.ry tax? Bet
ter look over the Y. NJ. G. A. and hos
pital subscription lists and see if
Frank is trying to escape anything.
No, he is busy man and has simply
neglected to order his number.
But suppose he should run the entire
season on 1913 tag: hoes any one
suppose he would escape the tax even
then? If he had never mad tag 1t
might be different, but rs ii is, the
state has him on record, and snonld
know that he is delinquent. Why
doesn't the state notify him at once to
pay up, instead of leaving it to some
constable or minor official to jerk him
up and get a rake off, Is the state
too busy? There must be a screw loose
somewhere.
I, myself, am running with a 1919
number, and applied for tag May z
and haven't even had an acknowledge
ment of my money. Why didn't seno
in January? My car has been on stills
all winter. and wasn't let down TIL
April 1 am some busy myself. and
neglected to get number. but | am
in no worse position than tho hadnt
| bought car until now. Is this any
| reason why l should be arrested and
fined? I am Just as much registered
as any other man; am simply de-
linauent taxpayer; are DELINQUENT tax
payers arrested?
Mind you, I am not nphclding any
one for evasion Of even an obnoxious
! law, but man running On any number
| is registered and-can not get away
from til. tax. Eventually he will have
| to pay 1t, and needn't he arrested
either. A per cent should be added t
his tax for delinquency after Jan. 1
and II the state can't furnish mum
Der he should be given receipt fol
! his money at once and allowed to con-
| tinue on his old number. And now tina
we are going to have a wholesale pros

Since 1902 New York City has had
a domestic relations bureau. with q
court attached" says Golfers for May
80. Last year 1000 cases were dealt
with. more than half of them without
recourse to the court. The superln-

for more Of the cases than any one
other cause. Her remarks are to the
point:
There are other troubles-infidel-
ity, incompatibilty, no economic sense,
inability to prepare for emergencies,
and lack Of knowledge Of how to man.
age a home. These are all important
elements in the discomfort which Is
breaking up SO many families. But
drink is by far the most frequent. and
in this country at least, 1t is the man
