already imposed by the Democrats,
they would share the blame for this
burden upon the public when the two
parties go to the country seeking sup
port In the congressional campaign
OF 1918. Thus, IL is pointed out, the
Republicans will escape a nasty re-
sponsibility II they stand aside, and
allow the Democrats TO organize the
next house, for in that way the Demo-
Gratis will be wholly to blame for what
additional taxes may be imposed with
In the next W years.
Those Democrats who are seriously
concerned over the outlook are hope
full that the senate will defeat not only
the river and harbor bill, but the pub
lie building bill as well, thereby saw
ing about $50, 900, 900. Another $780,
900. 900 or more could be saved, II is
shown by passing the Borah bill re-
pealing the national guard clasues Of
the Hay army reorganization law.
How many millions could be saved by
holding back the preparedness pro-
gram authorized at the last session, is
a matter OF speculation, but there Is a
growing Democratic belief that the
without a larger navy, or at least
without all OF the increase provided in
the last naval bill, and to be provided,
as per program. in the naval bill to be
passed this session.
There is no indication that the 3d.
coo new offices created under this ad-
ministration will be abolished in the
interest of economy; on the other
hand, the signs point the other way,
for as the result OF the recent cam
paign there are new deserving Dem
ocrats" to be rewarded. and few OF
those appointed during the last four
years are to be dropped.
II there Is going to be economy at
this session OF congress-. It looks as
though IL will be forced from the
White House. But up to the present
time the president has kept hands off,
allowing the committees to shape up
their bills to meet their various views.
He has, however. let il be known that
he thinks the passage OF a public
building bill would be unwise. and may
follow this later with others, ugges
II lies in the presidents power
to hold down appropriations. and in
il lies in his power to say pretty
much what appropriations shall be
made and what shall not. but he can
only do this by vetoing bills that are
Objectionable; by pointing out the
Items that lack merit. and by making
his light in the open. To do this he
engage in a quarrel with con-
sress. unless congress. taking a hint,
shapes Its bills to meet the presidents

per cent of improved roads, the in
rease of population in each county
was $1,000. The 'back-to-the-farm'
movement will progress just in pro-
portion to the improvement Of the
highways, and the improvement Of
the highways is dependent upon ad-
ministration not less than upon con-
struction.
There must be skill in the super
the roads. Heretofore at least nine
tenths Of the work on the roads has
been done under the direction of men
without any knowledge of roadbuild-
ing, which is an art based upon a sci
ence There are today more than 100,-
900 petty road officials in the United
States who have no practical knowl-
lens that must be solved in the loca-
ton Of the roads, in then. relation to
a general systsem, OF to related sys-
tens; but who are supposed to have
great influence in neighborhood poll
tics and are mighty at the polls. 1t is
from this incubus that the problem
must b5 relieved If the country is to
enjoy the benefits OF a well ordered
system of highways.
Good roads not only cost a great
deal of money in their construction,
but also in their maintenance or adj
m~inistration. 1t has been the habit in
this country to work On the roads
when all other work was done, and
this has meant that the roads have
had attention only ono or twice a
year. Macadam roads do not take
care Of themselves, concrete roads
should have constant attention., sand
clay roads require daily supervision If
they are to give service for which
they were designed and built. In
France every mile Of road is inspected
daily, and it is the constant vigilance
OF trained supervision that enables the
railroads of the country to take care
of the business of the country. There
ought to be the same sort and degree
OF supervision of the roads Of the
United States If they are to give the
service for which they are built. To
make a mile of macadam road eight
feet wide and eight inches thick, 1850
tons of stone are required, and to
build a mile of gravel road eight feet
wide and eight inches thick, LAP. SO
cubic yards of ~compacted, or, 1854 GU
bic yards of loose gravel are required,
and in order that the best results may
be obtained, there must be competent
supervision not only in the mixing of
the materials employed in the build
ing of the roads of the several types,
but in the placing of materials.
There are 100000 miles Of what
are commonly called dirt roads in
the United States, and to make them
effective there must be proper drain
age, such grading and alignment
as will make them fit for the traffic
and constant surface betterment, and
it Is nothing short of criminal waste
to build roads of macadam and ex-
pect them to take care of themselves.
Undoubtedly the best system Of main
tenance for all roads is that which pro-
vides for the permanent and some
times continuous employment of
skilled 1aborers who have charge of
particular sections of road, or who
may be assigned to any part of the
county or other road unit where there
Is work most needed.

SHOE WEARERS MUST "PAY
THE PRICE,"

A side-effect of the PARKWAY
war that interests every man,
woman and child is the announce
ment of the fact that shoes must
this season advance in price.
The generally reported scarcity
of leather and increased cost of
tanning since the war, combined
with an enormously increased de-
mand for leather, all account for
the advanced cost of footwear.
Millions of pairs of shoes for
the European armies have been
and are still being made by Ameri-
can manufacturers. On the aver
age, these army shoes consume
one and one-half as much leather
as the average American mans
shoe.
Knapsacks, saddles, harness and
other material for the armies at
war and a general increase in
equipment of the American army
and state militia account for q still
further demand on the none too
large supply of leather.
Munitions plants have called for
thousands Of feet of leather belt
ing and the general picking up of
business has started thousands Of
factories wheels and greatly aug
mented the call for betting.
Autos have also made great and
increasing inroads into the avail.

INCREASING VALUE OF LANDS
Immense Uncultivated Area Cannot
Be Developed Until improved
Highways Are Constructed.

There are over 400, 700, 900 acres OF
u~ncu1tivated land in the United States
awaiting development that cannot be
developed without improved highways.
It has been shown that h value OF
land is increased evenly with the Inn
provement for the roads, the increase
running from 81 to 50 the acre. AS
the roads are improved, there is q
corresponding increase in population.
In twenty-five counties, taken at ran
dom, which have contained on an av-
erage only 1k per cent of improved
roads in the decade 1890 to 1900,
there was a falling off in population
of 5000 in each county. In twenty
five other counties, taken at random,
in which there was an average of 40
