MAINTENANCE THE KEY
NOTE TO GOOD ROADS
(B. H. Belisario)

There is no subject that has been
discussed more frequently than has
the good roads question.
The subject is not new one. The
road question Is over 1000 years old.
The Romans built roads that lasted
for centuries. Scientists discovered
that their extreme durability lay in
their building material, instead of
holding together with clay, rock
dust and other easily displaced
binding material. the stones COM
posing them, such as we use in ma
cadam roads, the Romans held their
roads together with puzzolan, the
form of cement that has also kept in
tact through centuries their wonder
full buildings. Now after nearly
1000 years We are coming back to
the Roman way of constructing
roads.
A few years aga macadam roads
we're considered the only practical
form from all iewpoints-taXpay
we're annually paying out about one
tenth of the original cost for main
tanning these roads.
Highway engineers began to think
that if our taxpayers were stockhOld-
ers in a manufacturing enterprise
and found that its managers were
spending $1,000 year for repairs
to every ten-thousand-dollar ma
chine when it could be done for less
than $40, they would either procure
new managers or petition the courts
for a receiver.
This was exactly the proposition
that confronted the highway officials.
Much of the road construction during
the past few years has been extrava-
CANT; not by reason of the amount
of money spent in construction, but
because of the inadequacy of the
type of road to the traffic it is called
upon to bear.
The cost of a road should be de-
termined by figuring out the cost of
maintenance for period of years.
say five years or ten years, and, add
ing this to the initial cost of con-
struction. If macadam or clay
road cost $4,000 per mile to build,
and $1,000 per mile per year to
maintain it is costing more than a
road which would cost $4,000 to
build and which would need but
|trifling maintenance, such as con-
be in good condition, while with the
crete or brick the road would always
macadam or clay there would always
be places in need of repair.
1t must be apparent, therefore,
that money spent in inadequate con-
struction, in building roads that will
shortly need rebuilding, or else re-
quire extensive and expensive re-
pairs, is the very height of eXtrava-
we have is to build roads this year
that will not require all the money
that is available next year for good
roads in the maintenance of those al
ready built.
And the only solution we have is
to build concrete or brick roads as
to the cost of which, concrete is the
cheaper, as a matter of fact, most
brick roads are laid on a concrete
foundation. However, it is not as ex-
pensive quality of concrete as is re-
CURED when the whole roadway is
made of it.; so that probably it might
be a fair estimate, taking the data
regarding the cost of existing brick
and concrete roads as basis, to fig
ure that concrete will cost about Is
per cent of the cost of brick.
1t seems to me 10 be deplorable

thing to pour all the money that is
is available for good roads into the
rathole represented by macadam or
clay roads; these roads were good
thing in their day, but we no longer
have traffic confined to the iron
bound wheel and hoof; we now have
the automobile to contend with, and
with the advent of the motor driven
vehicle, new forces have been devel-
oped, such as "shearing" and "suc-
ton"
Shearing is caused by the tractive
force eXerted by the driving wheels
of an automobile and varies with the
weight and speed of the car. The eff
feet of this force is to disintegrate
the surface, so it is evident that the
pavement must have sufficient bind
ing material of such a character as
to be Enacted upon by this force.
The |suction caused by rapidly
moving automobile is enormous. No
record can be found of tests as to the
vacuum formed, but stand behind a
rapidly moving vehicle on clay or
macadam road and note the clouds of
dust. Your roads are transferred to
the air, and your good roads money
that is available is transferer to the
maintenance fund.

1.-THE SEA WOLF"

Given the combination of a gripping
story told in graphic fashion by one OF
the leading writer's of fiction of the
day and the projection on the screen
of this story in such detail that those
who have read the novel are enthusias-
tic over the achievement and splen-
did entertainment is assured
Such is Jack London's authanticat-
ed version of that gripping tale of the
deep seas, The Sea Wolf which will
be presented at the Irene, Sunday
evening. To those who have read this
compelling story of the human pas
ions the presentation Of the seven
reels will be locked forward to with
deep and abiding interest, for few
dramatic novels afford such opportuni-
ties. Throughout the photo drama is
a wonderful achievement in motion
picture photography. 1t would be
hard to estimate the difficulties that
were encountered and the expense in
volved in the production which lends
itself in so marked a degree to stir
ring scenes on land and sea-and
sometimes in the water.
To outline the story Of The Sea
Wolf is hardly necessary. 1t is
one OF the most frequently read books
of the present day fiction as the cop
les of Jack London's masterpiece in
the local public library testify in the
form of we'll thumbed pages.
When this enthralling picture was
presented at the Utah Teatre, Salt
Lake, last week for the first time in
the west, the critics on the four daily
newspapers accorded it warm praise
in fact they were enthusiastic. 1t
was heralded as the best photo
dramadization of any novel to date.

Senator Brady states that he will
not be able to be home and engage
personally in the contest for renomi-
nation, and that in itself should con-
stitute one Of the best credentials that
could be accorded him. 1t will be re-
membered that Hobson of Georgia
went home and conducted a campaign,
while drawing a salary as congress-
man, and his opponent, who remained
on the job was elected by a great
majority A parallel exists in the case
of Senator Brady, who has consisten-
tly and persistently remained at his
post of duty. and will continue to do
so. and that is one OF the best trib-
utes that can be paid his efficiency
and character as public official II
will have the greatest weight with
Idaho citizens who appreciate the sub
stantial character of an individual
who is working every minute, and
such is Brady's process. -
His official announcement, made to-
day, is a frank statement from a
frank man, and carries the conviction
of an individual imbued with the pur-
pose TO give his best efforts to the
people of his chosen state.

SENATOR BRADY MAKES
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Files His Official Announcement and Today Makes a
Formal Statement to Voters of Idaho--Wll Not Be
Home to Participate in Campaign but VIII Attend to
the Duties for Which He Was Elected.

Probably no man VINO has the dis
tinction of representing Idaho in the
upper branch of the national con-
gress has accomplished so much in so
short time as has United States
Senator James H. Brady
Elected a little over a year ago he
has constantly spent his time in Wash
ington, and has remained steadfastly
at his post OF duty, believing in the
well established plan that application
to business can only create success for
people or an individual. His record
has been marked by success, by rec
ognition from the Democratic major
ity, by practical results achieved for
the people of the state he represents.
He has made good and his thousands
of friends over Idaho will remember
it during the primaries.
James H. Brady is a man who has
accomplished much for the state. He
has been successful in business and
in politics, but regardless OF either
he has given lavishly of his time and
money that the great resources and
prospects Of the state might be devel-
oped
He has been CONSPICUOUS figure not
only in the development of Idaho,
but of the west. Residing the best
part OF his life in this state, he has
watched its growth and progress, and
has been a pronounced factor in its
advancement. He doubtless has a
wider personal acquaintance than any
man within the borders of the state.
and his knowledge of the needs and
demands of every section of Idaho
stood him well in hand during the
present session of congress.
Creator OF Development

activities as the originator or tns

lacmment throughout the eas. ris
preside Of the Trans -Mississip,
Irrigation congress. He accomplished
results on that trip that are still oper'
ating to the benefit Of the west. As
governor Of Idaho he gave the state
one of the best administrations it ever
Ienjoyed, and as the twice chairman OF
the Republican state central committee
he led the party to victory In all
walks Of commercial and industrial
development he has shown a master
hand. and in his later succession to the
position of United States senator his
accomplishments have been OF the
vigorous and substantial order.
People who know Brady are aware
of his tense feaIty to a cause, and his
course has been watched with great
deal of interest. and it is no small
qualification to his constituency that
