A GOOD SPEECH
Big Republican Meeting at Opera House
Last Monday Night. Democratic
Meeting Tuesday Night.

Last Monday evening 5. w. Clark of
RedfeId, former attorney general of
South Dakota, addressed the people OF
Custer on the political issues of the day
at Garock's 8 opera house There was a
large attendance and those present gave
the speaker an enthusiastic welcome
and showed their appreciation of the
speech by frequent applause
Mr.. Clark spoke at length on national
issues, referring to the many pre-elec-
ton promises made by the democrats
showing that in many instances they
were not fulfilled. He spoke of the
federal reserve act, the rural credits
law, the Adamson eight hour Law,
and others, which are being used
to cover up the real issues of the cam.
paign. He criticised the administration
and held to the view of his audience
the mistakes which it had made in its
foreign policies, especially in regard to
Mexico. He spoke upon the industrial
conditions in this country and abroad
and said that when the millions of men
fighting on the battle fields of Europe
became producers instead of consumers,
tAere would be need for protective
tariff for American labor and the
American farmer.
In closing the speaker made a strong
appeal to everyone to vote the republi-
can national, state and county ickets,
and to support John q. Bartine for con

KEEPING GOOD ROADS GOOD.


Keeping good roads good is the most
important task in connection with an
improved highway system, once the
construction work is completed In the
United States in the past this task
usually has been neglected the improved
roads in many instances being allowed
to deteriorate until they became almost
impassable when they were, at heavy
cost, rebuilt That States and counties
are now coming to recognize the need of
careful and thoroughgoing maintenance,
however, is indicated by studies Of
county road systems in different sections
Of the country recently made by the Of
flee Of Public Roads and Rural Engineer
ing Of the department.
While some Of the eight counties in
which intensive studies were made were
found to have no provisions for main
tenance and others were found to pay
for upkeep of the roads out of bond is
sue funds, thus creating a debt that
would outIive the temporary improve
ment by many years, two counties in
widely separated States were found in
which maintenance conditions were
practically all that could be desired. In
Mississippi, it was found there Isl State
law requiring that special annual tax
Of at least one mill shall be levied for
the upkeep Of all roads constructed by
means Of bond issues, the fund to be
| kept separate from all other funds aud
! to be used for maintenance only. In
stead of the deterioration taking place
on the roads Of some of the counties in
other States on which examinations
were made, it was found that in Lauder
! dale County, Miss, roads built several
years ago and maintained from the
special fund have actually improved
since their completion.
The county roads of Franklin County,
N. Y, it was found, are maintained with
a contribution of 80 per cent by the
State and under indirect State super
vision. As a result of this system, the
roads have been kept up to their con
dition on completion. While provisions
for maintenance were on the whole no
satisfactory in the counties of the othel
States in which studies were made, thi,
condition since has been remedied il
Virginia by the passage of State Law
providing that an annual tax of not les
than 8 per cent Of the amount of bond
issued shall be levied to provide
maintenance fund for the bond bull
roads.
The existence ola regulation tendinI
to lessen damage to roads and so TO re
duce maintenance costs was revealed b,
the studies in Spotsylvania County, Va.
where the county supervisors had passe,
an ordinance placing relatively lo'
limit on loads that may be hauled il
wagons fitted with narrow tires and
considerably higher limit on loads 70
wide-tired wagons. As result, most {
the wagons using the roads Of the cour
ty have been fitted with tires rangin
from to 6 inches wide
