an Maryland he said, and espe-
cially on the Eastern Shore, can
show you something that can be seen
nowhere else in this country. There
macadam roads completed two, three
and four years ago are better roads
smoother with greater thickness of
stone-than they were on the day
they were built. That has been done
by applying to the surface with the
oil stone chips, the quantity of which
has been increased from $40 tons a
mile in 1910 to "a $40 tons a mile in
1914. This stone can be made to min
gle with the roadbed, becoming as
much part of it as the oil, the guam
tity of which we find, can be grad
ually reduced after the first applica-
ton. The whole proposition means
this: Gradual improvement instead of
gradual, even rapid, deterioration of
the road system at decreasing eX-
pense."
For road maintenance the State APP
propria l cent on the tax rate. This
nets about S95,000 A portion of the
automobile tax is devoted to the same
purpose, giving a total of S275,000
Mr. Weller does not regard it as suf-
ficient for the present. Originally the
maintenance charges were about S466
a mile. That has been gradually re-
Guced to 1929. Next year the COM
pletion of so many miles of roads re-
curing their first oiling will raise the
initial cost, but in time the chairman
believes the average maintenance
charge can be made very reasonable
Money Well Invested.
"The next Governor. whoever he is.
has got to be man with backbone"
declared Mr.. Weller. 81 regard the
money spent on the roads as the best
investment the State ever made. Poll
tics will wreck them. There is Just
one way of keeping politics out-iust
KEEP it out. There is no middle course.
and it will take only little bit of
politics to turn the trick"
Maryland was the first State, and is
even now, possibly, the only State
that submits specifications and asks
for bids on the oil used on the roads.
Those specifications are very techni-
cal affairs. The roads system has
been divided into seven districts.
among which the maintenance found
is apportioned From allowance for
each district the cost of the oiing is
deducted. and the district engineers
are expected to look after the other
expenses incident to upkeep with
what remains. Last year the stone
used on the roads aggregated 26,553
tons, and the oil 1884 gallons.

As laid out, trip can be made

they extend to Oakland in Garrett
county. From Baltimore run can
be made to Drum Poirt in Calvert and
through Washington to Point Lookout
in st. Mary's. Here and there links
could be built that would facilitate
trave. but the system will practically
be completed thing by August.
1t includes about 200 miles of con-
crete, $50 of macadam and $50 miles
of gravel, vitrified brick and other
materials. Gravel was used in some
parts Of Southern Maryland. and the

suited to heavy and continuous travel

WHAT BROUGHT 100000. GOO DE
FICIT

In ten months of the current fiscal
year the United States Treasury de-
ticit has passed 500, 900. Extra
Vagance beyond precedent and a reck-
less disregard of world conditions by
our Federal Administration have
brought this country to the humiliat-
ing position of Wasteful spendthrift.
Any ordinary corporation which spent
Sl1 when it had only $40 to spend
would invite the charge of being
grossly mismanaged. The Underwood
tariff bill largely controls our customs
receipts and they had fallen 73,0OO,-
900 up to April %. 1t is estimated
however, that the income and corpora
ton taxes and the extraordinary tax
disguised under the misleading name
of war tax will more than offset the
decrease in duties paid by foreign
merchandise. But that huge Demo-
cratic treasury deficit may be charged
up against wilful betrayal of the
principle of economy which every sane
person and we'll regulated business
must observe in times of financial
stress.
The last Congress scattered money
like the traditional drunken sailor. 1t
failed to do what every business in the
land was forced to do, which was to
economic. And that is the true rea-
son for the treasury deficit A Con-
gress which enacted drastic laws and
presumed to sit in judgment upon the
integrity and management of every
enterprise in the land was itself more
incompetent and eXtravagant than a
vast majority of all whose capacity it
called in question. A deficit of $780,
100000 in time of peace is an indict-
ment which the Democratic party can
not escape. 1t will return to plague it
next wear

Commerce for the preceding day.
The plan for a live, up-to-the-hour
commercial daily was worked out by
