Bill For Defense Highway.

A national highway system. extend

to exceed 500. 100000. Is a new defense
suggestion contained in a bin introduc.
ed In congress by Representative Ste
phens Of California. The sale OF fifty
year 3 per cent bonds In denominations
Of $50 and multiples Is proposed as the
means of raising the fund.
The bill provides that the highway
shall be constructed by army engineers
and that It's construction and use shall
be under such regulations as the presi.
dent may prescribe.
1t IS provided that the national de
Tense highway shall begin at Los An
geles,~ proceed by practical route to
Jacksonville, Fla, thence northward to
New York and Portland, Me. At New
York the westward trail would start
for Chicago, thence to Minneapolis,
thence through the Dakotas, Montana,
Idaho and Washington and thence
down the Pacific slope to Los Angeles,
San Francisco and San Diego. Rights
of way through the states are TO be ac.

struction and maintenance In the Unit
ed States during the year 1914, as
shown by statistics issued by the office
of public roads and rural engineering.
Onefifth of the work was done under
the state aid system. the various state
highway departments paying $24,220.-
600 and the counties and townships
$50, 10000 State aid laws are In eff
feet In forty-four states, New Jersey
having instituted the system in 1891
and Tennessee and Georgia being
among the last to adopt 1t.
Thirteen states spent 5.605,0OO
during the year in the construction
and maintenance Of state roads solely
at their own expense, making a total
of almost S50000.000 paid directly out
Of state funds. One-third as much
(S12500,000) was spent for repairs and
maintenance as was spent for new
construction (S35,500.000). This shows
the enormous loss resulting from the
building Of types of roads whose sur
faces are not durable under present
traffic conditions. Six eastern states
paid two-thirds as much out OF the
state treasury for maintenance as for
new construction.

they contain the greater the expan-
sion which takes place. But so long
as the road remains frozen the damage
does not become apparent. hence the
frequent and erroneous idea that II Is
the thaw which Injuries the road. The
injury was done when the water In
the road froze and the particles OF the
road surface-broken stone, sand or
still finer particles OF earth or clay
were pushed apart by the expanding
power OF the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice to melt
and assume its original volume as wa
ter.
During the winter whenever n thaw
Is coming on the cross drains and side
bitches should be opened up as far as
possible so as to prevent water col.
lecting along the roadway. II the
thaw is so pronounced that the road
way is softened the drag should be
used. Sometimes one round trip OF
the drag with the hitch reversed will
entirely rid the earth road OF slush
and melting snow and leave the road
surface practically dry Don't get the
idea that the drag is not needed on
your earth and gravel roads in the
winter time. Instead. keep It where
you can get at 1t readily, for II the
winter is an ordinary one you will
need it many times

ROCK R0ADS-R0CK VALUES.
Kansas City Banker Points Out Money
Value Of Good Roads.

Kansas and Missouri are very active
In building good highways rock
roads, as they are called in that coun-
try, where limestone Is the handiest ma
teria One of the good roads boosters
Is w s. Webb, Kansas City banker,
and he puts year round highways In
terms OF banking.
I'VE bankers will lend SO to $25 an
acre more on farm situated on rock
road" he says. Bankers in this neigh
borhood are keen judges Of farm val
ues. Most OF them have farms as
places for rest and play. Few bankers
are good farmers when it comes TO
making actual profits on crops, but
their farming pays handsomely in
health and in understanding of the
problems confronting farmers. with
whom we do much OF our business.
The first thing the banker does when
you approach him for loan on farm
property Is to determine the selling
value Of the farm. He will lend you
half the selling value, and he arrives
at the selling value by ascertaining
three things:
"First-The soil, Its character, con
dition and producing capacity, for a
fertile farm In good filth will grow
crops, no matter where located or what
the nature of its improvements.
Second. Its location, which means
convenience to markets. schools, stores
and other factors that increase value
Here is where the kind of road running
past the farm plays big part.
Third. buildings and improvements.
These are all estimated in actual
money. The money estimates are add
ed. The total represents the selling
value of the farm, and the banker will
lend half of that
Suppose the land is set down as
worth $40 an acre. II ii Is located on
a rock road over which the owner can
haul crops any month in the year the
banker will add $40 an acre for that
item. Probably the buildings will not
come to more than $40 an acre, so the
hard road Is worth as much as the
buildings in actual money. The total
selling value OF that farm is $50 an
acre, and the banker will lend $50 On
land worth 500 an acre hard road
