one Of the streets to be paved. After
the paving was done he found that the
price had gone up TO Sl.250 and that
there was an eager demand for the
same lot that had gone begging at 500.
But this article is not about the in
crease of property values that good
pavements bring That will come later.
What we are trying To show now is
that what other towns have done this
town can do Most. If not all. of the
towns from which our evidence is
drawn are smaller and less wealthy
than our community.
Look. for instance. mt West Union.
Ia, a little place of less than 1000 in
habitants that never had any paving
until 1914. Then it saw other Iowa
villages getting good pavements and
made up its municipal mind To have
them in West Union. Last spring 80
600 yards of paving We're contracted
for. Upon their completion the people
were 50 well pleased that "a boulevard
lighting system was ordered. to be In
keeping with the pavement.
The merchants and residents of the
town became imbued with the i'm
proyement idea. aud stores and resi-
dences began TO freshen up. The lum-

painters say that 1914 was the greatest
year for business the town ever had

turned into booster"
b No Trouble Paying the Bill.
And all OF this is directly traceable
to good paving. The people had no
trouble paying for il, for the share OF
each was small and the time allowed
for payment long enough to make II
easy for every one.
Ii is IA noticeable fact the country

until all the principa. thoroughfares
are paved. The resident of the unpav,

out. pavement. hoping thereby to re-
gain some of the lost ground"
Start Right.
1t was said above that communities
that once started to pave their streets
properly never went backward. This
is strictly true, but note that word
PROPERLY. Where apparent excep-
tons to this rule are found il is also
discovered that what the backsliding
town tired of was not good paving. but
bad paving Towns sometimes get
swindled or they try TO save money on
their streets and find that there was
no saving. but that, on the contrary.
their money has been thrown away on
imitation asphalt or poor construction
or some patent paving fad of which
nearly very year sees new example.
The cities that have the best pave
ments have been laying the same kind
with the same materials for more than
generation. They know, and when
their example Is followed there is no
risk taken and no chance that any
community will regret its investment
aud go back into the mud aud dust.
Property owners. those who use and
pay for pavements. ought TO know
something about them and, possessing
that knowledge. 10 Iave something to
say about what their pavements shall
be. Intelligent public opinion on pub
lie improvements is the greatest as
surance the community can have OF
good work. or course we must have
expert advice and assistance. But We
must think for ourselves. too. and be
able to tell experts and engineers what
we want them to do for US.
The places where money has been
wasted ON paving are those places
where the people were too Indifferent to
demand what was best for them and

Forty-Six Women.

Official lists of candidates Of recog-
nized parties for the congressional
and State elections co-incident with
the Presidential voting on November
&, show that there will be at least two
women running for Congress and
more than two-score women in the
contest for State Offices, ranging from
Governor down. In Montana jean
nette Rankin is the regular Republi-
can nominee for Congress and in
Colorado Hattie X. Howard is running
on a Progressive ticket.
The Associated Press has Just COM
piled all the State tickets from every
State in the Union and itappears from
these lists that there are exactly for
ty-siX women candidates for various
State offices. This figure may be
slightly reduced or increased by the
fact that some names which almost
certainly seem to be those of women
are in rare cases also names of men,
and it is possible that some women
have escaped identification by the use
of initials instead of their full name.
