E. j. Iddings Says Beginning Early in
the Spring With the Drag is
Important

The matter of good roads, in the
opinion of President Branhon of the

Chamber of Commerce, is one worthy

Characterizing system of good
roads as one Of the greatest of social
izing agents, DR.. Brannan said that
the community should be awakened
to the Importance of the subject, and
that a concerted effort should be made
to improve the roads to the greatest
extent possible with the means at
hand.
The use of the road drag, and the
voluntary contribution of the time of
men and teams, as illustrated in the
improvement of the south Main street
hill, were pointed out as specifis de-
vices available for gaining the end de-
sired. The real value of such contri-
buttons as that of two hundred days
time of men and teams on the South
Main street hill is to be measured
more by the resulting development
of good public spirit than by their
equivalents in money, according to
DR.. Brannon.

methods of road building and mainten-

obtained by road dragging at the Uni

work on the roads early in the spring,

the most important details involved in

original selection on the same three county Of
ficers who constitute the appointing board to
fill county commissioner vacancies.
The particular county officers however, are
not important or vital TO the main proposition.
which is TO secure financial audit for all the
boards that are spending money independent OF
the money-spenders. For the first incumbent
to be named by the county appointing board Is
in line with the principle of home rule, much
more so than to have him named by the gov
ernor. nor would he be any more under the con-
troll and direction OF the appointing board men-
bers than county commissioners which this same
appointing board may name. SO far as we are
concerned, we would sacrifice any such minor
detail to secure the independent audit--we
might even, II II could be made legal, restrict
the choice OF the county officials to names sup
piled one each by the city council, the Water
board, the school board the county board, and
the governing authority OF any other subdi-
Jurisdiction.
The thing to do is to get the comptrollership
started with real control--the people will take
care of the rest when they cast their votes for

Canada,s Perplexing Problem.

Although wholly immune to war ravages, and
free from war contributions except to furnish
its quota OF troops, Canada is facing a perplex-
ing problem growing out OF the war in the stop
page Of the flow Of capital from the mother
country which was developing It's natural re-
sources. For some years past, as We all know.
Canada has been going forward by leaps and
bounds. attracting to its untitled soil the best
class of immigrants from all over the world,
and particularly from the United States Great
modern cities were built almost over night, and
Canada's ability to draw on the London money
market was seemingly unlimited. If Canada is
to complete the construction work under way,
to say nothing OF starting new work, II will have
to find new borrowing places, and naturally
looks for accommodation 10 the United States.
AS explaining the situation, the monthly letter "
the National City bank quotes Sir Edmund
Walker. president OF the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, as follows:
las Great Britain begins to buy any new
securities other than issues she will buy ours,
bonds In the United States will continue TO grow.
We cannot too often draw the attention OF that coun
try to the fact that when cur foreign trade Ia
analysed the debit for the difference between
sales and our purchases Is payable TO them and not
TO Europe II the prevents London from buying
securities either the United States must buy them
or our great trade WITH tnat country away
and the cry OF Made IN Canada would then have
a wider Significance than Il has today. During the
year ending March. 1914 again emitting the figures
for coin aud bullion. we made purchases from the
United States to the OF SiSOc5 and sold
them goods the vaiue OF SiS 200, that with
imports from ali countries OF Si7ss5oO

actually ssI $4,000 Part OF that is Of course offset
by the actual cash brought into Canada by settlers
from the United states. part by investments made
here by Americans. and part by the purchase OF our
securities but Il mainly been settled IN the past
out Of the OF sales OF securities in Lon
don and the continent"
Whhever possesses broad and far-sighted
vision will agree with the comment of the bank
letter--that the trade relations between Canada
and the United States are so important that an
aid we give to tide Canada over the present emer-
gency. and to sustain its purchasing power. viii
be beneficial to our own industries. We natur-
ally want to see Canada grow and prosper even
from a selfish standpoint because prosperous
neighbor is more valuable to us than decrepi;
one. Compare Canada on the north with Mexico
on the south for relative desirability asset
10 as. AT the same time we viii be entitled to
reciprocity for whatever help We accord. and be
fore long n effectively cultivated, Canada
should be one OF our best markets for American

members of the city council from $500
