Adoption of a comprehensive plan
for expenditure of maintenance
money was one of the subjects dis
cussed, the engineers generally agree
ing with the governors prediction
that in six years 20 per cent of the
highway appropriations would be set
aside for maintenance, and perma-
nent section crews, like those en-
ployed by railroads, would be placed
on the state highways.
The governor urged the engineers
to see that dangerous points on new
ly constructed state highways we're
protected with stout guardrails, sum-
GENTLY strong to. hold heavy auto

with heavy dumping logs" at the
bottom.

DOUBLED IN LAST YEARS.

other than clothing and personal
adornments, furniture, vehicles and
kindred property.
The net public indebtedness in
1913 amounted to $4,S5O,461,OOO.
This amount was made up as follows:
National debt, $1,O2S,564,OOO, or
$1O.59 per capita; state debt, $345,-
$4,000. or 1915 per capita; county
debt. 1,52S,000. or $4.33 per
capita: and municipal debt. $2,SS4,-
$4,000, or $54.27 per capita. Thus
the average urban citizens share of
the net federal, state, county and mu-
nicipal debt combined was $72.76,
and the average rural citizens share
Of the net federal. state and county
debt combined was $18.49.
Municipal Debt Largest.
BY far the greatest item of indebt-
edness in this country is that of mu-
inequalities. This amounted in 1913
to an aggregate of $3,460, 100000, of
which $2,SS4,S83,OO0, or $54.27 per
capita, represented net Indebtedness.
The rate of increase in net indebted
ness between 1902 and 1913 was ia
per cent.
The total levies of taxes on real es-
tate, personal property, and other
property subject to ad valorem taxa
ton, by states. counties. municipali-
ties, school district and other civil
divisions, increased from $724,737,-

in 1912, the percentages of increase

The decennial report on wealth,
by Director Sam l.. Rogers of the
bureau of the census will show
an increase in the national wealth of
rs per cent in eight years; in net
federal indebtedness, Of 6 per cent in
IL years; in net state Indebtedness,
Of 44.5 per cent in II years; in net
county Indebtedness, of SO per cent
in II years; in net municipal indebt-
edness, of ia per cent in IL years;
and in the general property tax levy,
of Sc per cent in 10 years.
The bureau estimates the total
value Of all classes of property in the
United States. exclusive Of Alaska
and the insular possessions. in 1912
at $1S7,739,OOO,OO0, or $1,965 per
capita. This estimate is presented
merely as the best approximation
which can be made from the data
available and as being fairly compar-
able with that published eight years
ago. The increase between 1904 and
1912 was Is per cent for the total
amount and 40 per cent for the per
capita.
Real Estate Big Item.
Real estate and improvements, In
GLIDING public property, alone consti-
tuted $11O,667,0OO,0OO, or SO per
cent of the total. in 1912. The next
greatest item, $16,149.000.000 was
contributed by the railroads; and the
third, $14,s94,00O,000, represented
the value of manufactured products.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
Olson Plans Publication to Assist
'Safety First" Campaign.

The first issue Of the workman s
Safety Guide" publication which
hereafter will appear quarterly. is
being prepared by Labor Commits
sioner E. w. Olson, for distribution
among workers in all factories and
workshops of Washington and among
others who may be interested.
Besides general instructions for
accident prevention and first aid
treatment, each number will contain
detailed descriptions of typical re-
cent accidents in various workshops,
so that through a study of conditions
leading to these mishaps, similar ones
may be avoided in future. A "cor-
respondents column" expected by
Commissioner Olson to develop into
veritable correspondence school on
accident prevention topics, and dis
cussion of new forms of mechanical
safeguards, etc, also will be an i'm
portant feature.
August has been fixed as the date
for the appearance Of the first issue.

being Sc for the total amount and 81
for the per capita.
Levies for state purposes increased
from $SO,4O2,OOO in 1902 to $780,
643.OOO in 1912, or by "a per cent.
During the same period the levies by
counties, municipalities, school dis
tricts, ETC., increased from $644,335,-
900 to $1.1S4,253,OOO, or by "a per
cent. The county levies in 1912 were
$2SS,932,OOO, and those of munich
palities, school districts and other
minor civil divisions amounted to
1896, $4,000.
What Figures Show.
Thus it appears that an increase of
rs per cent in eight years-indicat-
ing a gain of 115 per cent in II years
in national wealth has been ac-
companied by an increase, during IL
years, of per cent in net federal
indebtedness, 44.5 per cent in net
state indebtedness, 80 per cent in net
county anu POI SS'''
in net municipal Indebtedness. In
connection with the growth in mu-
nicipal indebtedness, however, 1T
should be borne in mind that the pro-
portion which urban population rep
resented of the total was materially
greater in 1913 than in 1902. The
net Indebtedness of national. state.
county and municipal governments
combined increased by II per cent in
II years.
A more significant comparison,
however, can be made between the
growth of the national wealth and
the increase in tax levies. The ma
tional wealth, on the assumption
that its average annual rate Of
growth from 1902 to 1912 was the
same as that which prevailed from
1904 to 1912, increased by 101 per
cent in 10 years. while the increase
in tax levies during the period 1902
to 1912 amounted to SO per cent.
