all flatter ourselves that there is an added interest to this little old mot orcycle competition. Ergo, there is race within d race, and the entry list, which closed about two o'clock
 yesterday afternoon contains but two names.
 The Republicans entry, which is a
 two speed Harley to be ridden by
 Harry Lane and which will bear
 our proud nom de sport, is naturally the pride of Phoenix. It really ought
 to be. They say that this is the first time that two daily journals have
 ever entered pair of motorcycles in
 a cross country run. And if this be
 true, some folks we might name but
 won't-being modest-are going to
 get as aforesaid, a lot of free ad Nertising
 And to make the matter still more
 grippingly interesting, the two ent- rants have arranged to stick a few
 simoleons in the hands of some rich and therefore responsible stakeholder, each picking his own machine. MerkeIites Return Frank H. Sellner, the rider of a two speed Merkel, and Harry Cran- dall, who will be riding the same as soon as he can put two-speed on

dollars yesterday morning. It was i this money and the twenty-five of Doc" Lane that Hohl went around 1 shaking in the faces of the fellows
 who SAID they were going to enter 1 but who haven't yet Sellner and Crandall went out as far as Arling- ton yesterday morning and then dis | covered they had forgotten some thing. So they came back for It. They got back before Art Holmes and Ray Smith, the San Diego liar ley team departed for the coast on their second wallop at the road. They got here just in time to get rained on, and so had to stick around a while.
 There is a great changing of ham mers. both sarcastic and actual. ln maybe two or three on which greasy mechanics are putting their cleverest efforts, while in other sec tions of said shops there are the passers out of pre-race wisdom, an,l cutting criticism and stinging cyni- cism and other isms. Berg and Larc will leave, probably together, the first of the week, to inspect the San Diego road. Sellner and Gran dall will take their delayed departure probably today Bill Gerig, who has secured a Flying Merkel from the factory will be heading eastward about Sunday.
 Robert Orput was immensely pleased by the entries of the two newspaper machines He has beer bothering us all about publicity for his little old race, and now he ayers this-aWay:
 Now you gotta write 'em up. Nothing like this personal interest injected into the race, and then feeling that he had still another weighty thought to be expressed, he said after the fashion of well known prize ring referees, May the best mote win!"

.|MLER SPILLS FEW NEWS
 ABOUT THE SAND SPORTS
Manager of Pulling Contest Also DribbIes Some Paint on His

Tommy Imler bent his neck way around and looked down from the scaffold on which he rests costly while painting a huge Indian head over the old "Locomobile' sign right across from the Republican office
 You can bet there is going to be a sand pull" he offered by way of opening up a conversation. Rearing back on his heels, Republican newsgetter gazed starward and put the question that signified an inter- view had started-even though it were under difficulties. ("Yes, they are going to buck the shifting stuff that makes the deserts famous," con- tinued Tommy. Already there are entries. Also prizes. But the big top-notch all-important idea is the ball game. Who? Why, the motor- cycle riders versus the clerks.

 As thls is a money making enter prise. and as the club which is pull . ing the San Diego race at this end needs the cash, Imler's idea is q laudable one. So there will be a motorcycle parade of all two wheel CT riders starting at Adams and Central at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon and ending up at home plate in Riv- erside ball park.

NORMAL-GLENOAlE
(Special to The Republican)

TEMPE, Oct. 23.-Tempe normal is in prime condition for it's contest on the gridiron with the Glendale high school tomorrow, and with few good turns of fortune, has hopes for an other victory Coach Schaeffer sent his men through a final workout this evening and pronounced them in far better shape for a football game than a week ago, when Tempe high was sent down to a glorious defeat. Few chang es, if any will be made in the lineup, the men seemingly falling into their natural positions from the very first. The game starts at three o'clock. Last Saturdays admission price of half dollar has been reduced fifteen cents.

vastly smaller country, both in era
and population than the United States,
SC that this comparison is not, in it
self, very fattering to our progress
iveness. 1t shows, however, that We
have at least made a beginning, OF
the 2,226,S42 miles of roads in the
United States, 222,7444 miles, or ap-
proximately 10 per cent, are classed
as improved.
To improve the remaining 80 per
cent may we'll seem a big job. 1t is,
in fact, only made possible because
the work really pays for itself From
material gathered by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, it is now
possible to prove not only that good
roads are a profitable investment, but
to determine exactly what dividends
they pay. An investigator assigned to
this problem in any given locality first
ascertains the extent of the territory
that is tributary to any main road,
much as one might ascertain the ter
ritory tributary to some river. The
next step is an accurate estimate of
the total products of this territory,
so much grain, so much tobacco, 50
much garden truck, etc., etc. Of this
quantity certain portion is consumed
on the farm; the rest is shipped over
the road in question. The whole cal
culation can then be checked by in
vestigators at the shipping point to
which the road leads. In general It
has teen found that the two methods
yield much the same information-the
total amount OF produce hauled over
the road. Next, the length of the
average haul is calculated, the size Of
the load permitted by the character of
the read ascertained, and the cast OF
teams and drivers figured. With these
facts before him, the investigator is
now able to state positively the cost
of hauling a ton of produce on that
roaG, to express in terms of these
"ton-miles' the freight traffic on the
road, and finally the total cost to the
community served by the road of
hauling its goods to market. Armed
with these data, it is easy to decide
how much money can be profitably
spent in improving the road and
what are the returns that the invest
ment yields to the community.
These returns are of various kinds.

In 1918 the individual state appropri-
ated a total of $3S, 755,OS8 to supple
ment local expenditures.
The value of this state aid is, how
ever, not to be measured by the figures
alone, for the bulk of the money
comes, and always must come, from
the various counties and townships.
Thus, in 1912, the cash outlay by
counties, districts and townships, was
S137 1856. Complete figures for
1913 are not available, but it is safe
to estimate the sum at approximately
$151 100000. To this must be added
some $15,OO0,00O to represent the value
of the labor contributed instead of
cash in districts where this practice
prevails Last year, therefore, loo al
communities contributed, in round
numbers, one hundred and sixty-six
millions of dollars as against appropri-
ations from state treasures of $685.
755,0SS, The true Importance of this
thirty-eight millions lies in the fact
that it means expert supervision of
the expenditure of considerable por-
ton of the vast sum of two hundred
millions. When each county built as
it chose aud when it chose, the SER
vices of trained engineers were US
ua,ly out of the question. There was
little opportunity to test innovations
little advance in the science of road
building, and there was also difficulty
in arousing each county Individually
to do its best to improve conditions.
within it's own limits. State aid has
changed all this. The best engineer
ing skill is available for all works of
importance, there is cooperation and
a constant stimulus to further i'm
provements. The mony contributed by
the states does not only build more
roads, it makes better those that other
money builds.
At the present time there are in the
United States 2O,741 miles of roads
improved either wholly or in part by
state aid. This is nearly the mileage
of the French routes nationales," the
system of great national highways
which is the envy of every civilized
nation. The routes naionalies" are,
of course only small part of the
total mileage of France, where prac-
tically every road of any importance
is an improved road, and France is

roads has, experts say, been due in
great measure to the principle of
state aid to counties and other local
communities. New Jersey began the
movement in 1891 when it passed it's
State Highway Law Massachusetts
and Vermont, followed a year later,
but for the most part the other states
were slow to move. In 1904 only f1f
teen had state highway departments;
today there are only six that have not.

First and foremost is the reduction
in the actual cost of hauling, the plain
fact that it takes less time and labor
to haul load over a good road than
over a poor one. Less obvious is the
effect of improved roads in increasing
the total output of a community. In
the case of one county in Virginia
where particularly thorough records
have been kept, this output was more
than doubled. The farmers found that
with a market always and readily ac-
cessible to them, it paid to work the
land to its maximum production.
This explains the very remarkable
rise in farm land values which nearly
always accompanies road improve
ment. This rise is not a fictitious one,
of no benefit to the man who wishes to
farm and not to sell. The land is
more valuable because it can profit
ably be made to produce more. In
other words, the money that goes into
the road comes back with interest
from the land.
