so AN INCENTIVE

Yesterday was the banner day of
The Herald's Auto contest up to date.
This is record for three weeks. Not
half bad for the short length of time
that the contest has been in opera
tion. Votes are coming in more rap
idly daily and from now on The Her
AIDS contest will be the most absorb
ing topic of conversation in Durango
and surrounding country. Interest is
increasing daily since the first publ
cation of the candidates and indica-
tions are that the different ladies in
the contest will be able to get votes
OF a great deal more easily from now
on.
Every mail brings in votes to the
campaign department and the friends
of the candidates are constantly
bringing in votes for their favorite
candidate in the race. The contest is
certainly gaining ground day by day
and no one can anticipate what
height this good-natured tug-of-war
will attain. Fifty per cent of the
people of Durango and the adjacent
territory are directly interested in
the outcome Of the contest and before
another week has elapsed the other
so per cent will be in the contest
as deeply as the candidates them
selves.

A Short-Sighted Policy.

The following comment on road
construction work in Kansas applies
equally well here.
The Hutchinson News has been do
ing little figuring. 1t finds that
Reno county last year spent $91 500
on its roads. This sum practically
all went into the grading and main
tenance of dirt roads. Only small
proportion of it was spent for perma-
nent roads.
Yet S9l 800 would pay interest on
s2,000,0O0 bonds, and that amount
of bonds would pay for the construc-
tion of $50 miles Of permanent roads.
The News concludes the county that
puts S91 500 annually into roads that
in wet weather are mud holes, and in
dry weather a series of chuck holes,
is throwing its road money to the
birds.
Reno county is not alone in this.
Practically every county in Kansas is
following the same short-sighted pol
icy. The only road money that ac-
tually pays is that which is invested
in permanent roads. When will Kan
sas learn the fact-Wichita Eagle.
