MORE GRAVEL THAN PAVEMENT.

allowing $1,000 per mile as the cost
of gravei-and 1t will average consider
ably less than that-and $4,000 per
mile for paving and 1t will cost all of
that-an equal amount expended in
paving and graveling will give Just
one mile Of paving for fifteen miles of
crawling. The NJ. T--R. scheme offers
one mile Of paving and fourteen of dirt
as substitute for fifteen miles OF
gravel. Which is a wise mans choice,
to say nothing Of the FOOLS Eagle
Grove Eagle.
Fools are entitled to infinite patience
but those gho are deliberate in their
misrepresentation would try the soul
of a saint. Nobody and much less the
| Times ffsepuhiiieaH has ever proposed
paving for ali Tuadis. II mas BEEN re-
peated in this newspaper hundred
times that in an agricultural country

travel there arise traffic conditions too
severe for gravel to withstand. There
the paved road becomes the cheaper in
the long run, but even then the Times
Republican has insisted that the voice
of the people of the locality which is to
build the road should determine the
kind of road to be built.
Those who seek to misrepresent can
not be stopped. but if. perchance the
motives of the Eagle Grove editor have
been misjudged he should know that
good, durable gravel construction costs
as high as $4,000 per mile. at Fort
Dodge, it will average $4,000 per
mile in Iowa as in Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin; that double track paw
ing has cost only $4,000 per mile at
Mason City and again at Columbus
Junction. Iowa, and single track paw
ing with gravel shoulders has cost only
81, 800 per mile at Winona, MINI. First
cost of a road is never the whole cost.
Maintenance often exceeds the first
cost. so that the cost Of an $4,000 paved
road on the bond plan becomes $500 per
annum per mile for interest principal
and maintenance. while the cost Of a
So, 600 graveled road becomes $3.50 per
annum per mile. Thus we have a
choice between one mile OF pavement
| or two miles Of gravel instead Of one
to fourteen as some fools would have
US believe. When the people of any
community come to decide for them
selves they will choose gravel wherever
| their traffic conditions are not too
severe and paving where those condi-
tons demand it. Whatever their choice
is to be let it be remembered, that
present rates of taxation on the bond
plan will gravel two-thirds of the
county road system Of Iowa and pave
one-third but that the present genera
zion of men will be dead and gone be-
fore this can be accomplished without
bonding our road and bridge revenues.

ROOSEVELT AND CuMMINS,

Senator Cummins' presidential pros
poets were decidedly enlivened when II
became known that Theodore Roose-
Welt had expressed his conviction tina,
man Of Cummins' type should be
nominated and that he would suppor,
Cummins if Cummins shall be the
nominee Of the republicans.
This is the first definite assurance
from the lips Of the leader Of the bull
moosers that a republican nominee
would be acceptable to the voters of
that movement and the first definition
of the nominee favored.
When Roosevelt picks Cummins as
the man upon whom republicans and
progressives can unite his recon-
mendation should carry great force
with it into republican councils. Fer
it is matter Of general admission that
the republicans can not win without
the progressive votes or with a nomi-
nee against whom the progressives
would be active
NJ. Roosevelt said it: Cummins is
the type about whom republican har-
mony is TO be established and Cumm4ns
is the tallest of his type now under
mention as presidential possibilities.
If he shall be nominated there is small
double that he would be elected Then
why not nominate him and bid for re-
publican victory?
1owa's chances to furnish the next
president grows brighter with each
succeeding day.

It too much to suppose that, II women
never had prayed, but had always let

against any attempt on their part to
perform that office for themselves
would be seriously proposed. Miss Mil

?. Because praying would distract a
mother from her natural duty OF teach
ing her children to pray.
3. Because the conditions of WON

BURLESON'S ALIBI.

Postmaster General Burleson has an
alibi. He has given poor service since
his appointment by President Wilson,
but he has an excuse. He has de-
IIIVraii1eu Inc rural mail service 81
badly within the last year that it prob
I ably will take ten years to build 1t up
10 its former efficient standard, but he
can explain the Decentralization. He has
made enemies of thousands Of farmers
SUIT he still has the courage to ask
them to turn the other cheek.
Mister BurleSon has given out his
annual report AS a compilation Of
excuses it is gem. To give il punch,
the head Of the department falls back
on the prop whose strength has been
severely tested during the present ad-
ninistratior: he attributes the vast
deficit TO the war. The European tur-
MOL has Cost his departments2l.0e 600 900
Mister Burleson says. and It was only
thru superhuman endeavor and un-
canny figuring that he kept his ship
from foundering on the rocks.
Had it not heen for economical re-
organization begun before the war
started and continued since. the post
master general says, the audited deficit
would have been at least $4,000. o0e.
The economies of administration" are
quoted as having saved the department
vast sums Of money. putting the actual
deficit at 11.333.50s. ''r -
Thus we find that something more
than twelve millions were saved by
the sagacious supervision Of Burieson.
Glorious saving, that! But how did he
do It? That question needs 10 answer
ing. Burleson's service Is answer
enough. Ask the resident on the rural
route. He VIII tell you that the mail
he used to get this morning he now
receives this afternoon, tomorrow
morning or next week. Maybe he used
20 walk a quarter mile to get. Now he
may have to walk. half mile or a
mile. Maybe ne formerly lived on a
rural route, but now is estranged be-
cause of Burleson's economical pro-
cesses of advancement.
Burleson economical all right, so far
as saving money was concerned But
it will cost more to get the service
back in shape than 1t cost Burleson to
almost ruin it.
Which was economy of rather a
weak nature.
