KEEPING coon ROADS GOOD

Keeqing good roads good is the
most important task in connection
with an improved highway system,
once the construction work is com
pleted. In the United States in the
past this task usually has been neg
lected, the improved roads in many
instances being allowed to deterio-
rate until they become almost i'm
passable but when they were, at
heavy cost, rebuilt. The states and
counties are now coming TO realize
the need Of careful and thorough
going maintenance, however, isi in
dicated by studies of county road
systems in different sections Of, the
country recently made by the Office
of public roads and rural engineer
ing of the department.
In Kentucky for the past two
years the state and counties have
spent $1,5OO,OOO per annum in the
construction of good roads. This
100000 is a splendid investment
for the people. Nothing will bring
any greater or better returns than
good roads, but unless these roads
are kept up it will be a willful and
foolish waste of $3,OOO,OOO. In
fortunately the state aid law did not
provide definitely for a compulsory
maintenance after the good roads
were constructed. At a good roads
meeting, when the question of main
tenance was brought up, II was fool
ishIy argued that the state, having
aided the counties in building good
roads, that the counties should keep
them up. This in theory may be
right, but it has never been prac-
ticed. Under the old state aid law
the roads we're allowed to go to ruin
because the counties would not or
did not keep them up. They will not
do it now. Good turn pixies built by
the county have been allowed to go
to ruin. The county is a partner
with the state in building good roads
and it ought to be a partner in

TROUBLES OF THE LIQUOR MEN

A number of gentlemen active
both in the liquor trade and in pol
tiles, including our old friend Char
ley Lewis, of Shelbyville, Frank
fort, Nashville and Washington,
met behind closed doors at the
Seelbach Hotel in Louisville Satur-
day afternoon to consider the Ken
lucky situation.
We do not know what these con-
ferees decided to do, nor if we at
tempted, simply for the purpose of
mental exercise, to think up a good
thing for them to do could we sug-
gest any good plan. In the vernac-
ular of the vaudeville they "are up
against the real thing"
Everybody makes mistakes, but
the liquor people have for some
years past been in position where
they could i'll afford to make even
a mOdicum of error, whereas they
have done nothing but make mis-
takes. Their browning error was
committed in the Democratic pri-
mary last year when they forced
the nomination of Mr.. Stanley. They
could have had Mr.. McDermott,
who was opposed to State wide
prohibition but who would not have
been considered a liquor candidate,
but they insisted upon naming Mr.
Stanley, who distinguished himself
by fighting all kinds of regulation,
including the county unit bill.
! Now the liquor men have, along
with their other troubles, the load
of the Stanley administration to
carry. They are also expected to
take part in the next Senatorial
fight. They must "cOme clean" at
the same time with various politi-
clans and newspapers who have
supported them in the past and
who demand recognition" Of that
support. Anyway they turn there
are rocks ahead.-Louisville Post.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-11-28

their maintenance. The millions
that the states are investing in the
construction Of good roads by tax
ing the people should not be lost by
the failure of the state to protect
its own interests.
Nothing can be done along this
line, however, until the next legis-
lature meets. In the meantime it is
up to the counties to save the
many thousands of dollars they
have put into good roads by stop
ping further construction, if neces-
sary, to properly care for roads al
ready built. There is absolutely
nothing so extravagant or so mex
cusable, and almost criminal as to
build a good road and then let it
go to ruin for lack of proper re-
pairs at the proper time. 1t is as
bad as building a dam to run a mill
and when little break in the dam
occurs to let it alone until heavy
rain comes and sweeps the entire
dam away, when the repair of
small break would save the dam.
The same thing happens with the
roads if small damages are not
properly repaired.-Winchester Sun.

NEW YORK, Dec. State regu-

federal regulation of industries en-

secretary of the national child labor
committee. -
Twenty-eight state allo---.-v -4ndren

HAS NOVEL PLAN
FOR WAGE RAISE

MARINETTE, Wis, Dec. s.-Gen-
eral Manager Ryan Of the Kimberly
Clark paper mills, Niagara, Wis.
made public plans for an increase in
wages because of the increased cost
of living.
All persons in the employ of the
company Dec. l; who have been with
the company for at least two full
months, will receive on Dec. 5. a $12
bonus. This will be given to every
employe irrespective of what his daily
or weekly wage may be.
All employees rMho Feb. have been
in the employ Of the company for two
full months will also receive Feb. S, a
$12 bonus. This will be repeated
throughout the year.
This plan by various paper mills in
Wisconsin will mean an addition tc
their combined payrolls of probably
more than 100000 during the year
In the case Of the Kimberly-Clark
company, it will make a difference OF
at least 100000 annually.

UNIONS FACE BIG =,
PEACE PR0BLEMSl
BY MAX HAYES.

Editor the Cleveland Citizen.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 8.-What will
be the economic conditions after the
war?
That is the question asked by the
most far-seeing officials Of the inter-
nationals that compose the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The capitaistic gentlemen tell us
the United States will be plunged into
the threatened economic war for the
markets of the world; that the Eufe~-
pean nations, in order to .rehabilitate
themselves and pay their war debts,
or at least meet the interest, will
produce goods more cheaply than
ever before and that American labor:
and capital will be confronted by the
fiercest competition ever experienced
since the wage system was estab-
Iished.
This is one of the reasons the fed
GRAFTON has taken the initiative to
call worlds conference of labor Or
CARNATIONS to meet at the time and
place that representatives of the
belligerent countries will gather to
arrange peace plans.
American labor will ask the Brit
ish, Germans, French, Italian, Aus
trian and other workers whether.
after having borne the brunt of the
war, they intend to permit them
selves to be pressed deeper into pow
erty in order that their master classes
may win economic victories from
each other.
Meanwhile, the American working
people, particularly those who have
been able to secure higher wages
and shorter hours as a result of the
war, will be called upon to redouble
their efforts to organize and
strengthen their unions to meet any
and all attacks that may be made
upon them.
propositions favoring government
ownership of railways, mines and
other monopolies will be introduced
as suggestions to reduce the high
cost of living, which has leaped up
ward so rapidly lately that the best
gains of wages by the strongest
unions have barely kept pace.

MANUFACTURERS
TO ''BULLDOzE"
CONGRESS TOO

CHICAGO, Dec. ga nation-w wide
move Of manufacturers in opposition
to any legislation by the coming ses-
sion of congress for regulating hours
of labor is seen in action taken by
the Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton. This body sent members cir
cular calling attention to action on
labor matters contemplated by con-
gress and urging that influence be
brought to bear on senators and rep
resentatives. Opposition to the Adam
son law is particularly urged.
The circular. which is headed,
Get Posted and Get Busy" and is
signed by John NJ. Glenn, secretary
Of the association, reads:
Manufacturers Did Nothing.
whether manufacturers and plant
owners are ready for the issue or not,
legislation of tremendous importance
having to do with the regulation of
working hours in on at Washington.
In addition, government ownership
of railroads, federal incorporation OF
interstate carriers, extension of gov
eminent supervision to the exclusion
of state control, extension Of federal
supervision to include all phases of
operation and the regulation of wages
as rates and in the issuance of rail-
road securities, are under considera-
ton.
THE Newlands committee is in
session. The father of the Adamson
bill says congress will not fait for it's
recommendations. The labor union

law will go into effect and claim
they will defeat any bill for compul-
sorry investigation of wage disputes.
They will try to extend the eight
hour law to 100000 railroad pm-
ployes not within it's scope. They de-
clare the strike vote is still in effect.
