conore.. and Road Building.


At meeting of its executive board
the American Automobile association
went on record as favoring federal aid
in a good roads measure which has
been drafted by the executive commit
tee Of the American Association Of
State Highway Oficials. Briefly. the
bill provides for national and state CO
operation on whatever roads may be
mutually decided upon, with the state
matching every federal dollar It re-
ceives on the basis Of its area, popula-
ton and road mileage in proportion to
the total for the whole country.
1t seems to be generally recognized
that any bill which the congress Of the
United States will pass Is likely to I'm
clude requisite that state shall frst
establish a highway department In or
der to have centralized direction in
construction and maintenance Of roads.
Just six Of the forty-eight states
have yet to establish highway depart
ments. Georgia, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska. Indiana and Texas
arc the six states which have yet to
recognize the need Of state highway
department.

CONVICT ROAD LABOR.

Success In Other States Influences
Kansas to Make the Experiment.
One thousand miles of perfect road
way have been constructed by Colo
rado convicts in the past seven years.
Colorado began to employ convicts on
the roads in 1908. At first armed
guards were used, but during the Sec
ond summer the honor system was in
troduced, and it is still in vogue.
In 1915 the road operations were
more extensive than ever, according to
the report received by the national
committee on prisons and prison labor
from Warden lyman.

Self Sacrifice,

What though thine arm hath conquered in
the fight.
What though the vanquished yield unto
thy sway
Or riches garnered pave thy golden way,
Not therefore has thou gained the sovran
height
OF mans nobility! No halo's light
From these shall round thee shed its sa-
cred ray.
If these be all thy Joy, then dark thy day
And darker still thy swift approaching
night.
But II in thee moro truly than in others
Hath dwelt loves charity: If by thine aid
Others have passed above thee. and If
thou,
Though victor, yieldest victory to thy
brothers,
Though conquering conquered and a vas
sal made,
Then take thy crown. well mayst thou
wear 1t now.

Colorado convicts, in addition to the
work. farm three large ranches, and
next year fourth ranch is to be add
ed. From so to 60 per cent Of the able
bodied prisoners are employed out Of
doors.
According to Governor Hunt of Ari-
zona, convict road labor has been very
successful in that state, where it has
been on trial for three years. He says:
1.-THE plan Of employing prisoners
on highways. generally speaking, has
worked out admirably in Arizona and
now receives the hearty Endorsement Of
those officials under whose immediate
supervision the roads and bridges are
built. 1t has proved to be both humane
and practical"
Kansas is just beginning to expert
ment with convict labor by placing Il
hundred men from the state peniten-
tiary and hundred from the state re-
formatory at work on building roads.
It Is planned to put only the most
trustworthy men on road work. They
will not be handcuffed or chained or
kept in barricade. They will be treat
ed just as free labor. That is the way
they are handled in Colorado.

GOOD ROADS and
PREPAREDNESS
State and Government Aid Ad-
vocated For Highways.
THE NATIONS arteries.

A. G. eatcheIdsr Says That the ceun-
try Must Have Maximum oppor-
tunity For the Maximum Transport
Of Men and Munitions by Means OF
the Moto-car and Roads.
Roads of America may mean the
very existence of the nation, accord
ing to A. G. Batchelder, chairman OF
the executive board of the American
Automobile association. Roads that
20 somewhere, arteries of communica-
ton that bind the nations together
roads serving to the fullest extent com
mercial and social and possibly mill
tary needs-these are the highways
now demanded and obtainable by that
logical federal cooperation with the
several states which has been accentu-
ated by the facts set concisely forth In
the stupendous European conflict. ac-
cording to Mr.. Batchelder. The chair
man points to the fact that In exactly
the same manner as it became neces-
sary that the states should help their
county units in the construction Of
comprehensive road systems 1t IL now
essential that the national government
shall lend aid to its state parts in the
early realization Of a road plan that
will in the greatest degree weld to-
gether coast and coast and lakes and
gulf.
Mr.. Batchelder says that the country
must have maximum opportunity for
the maximum transport Of men and
munitions. and the motorcar and the
roads are the means for its accomplish
ment. Thirty thousand miles of road
would gridiron the entire United States
with interconnecting and interlocking
highways and would embrace every
state in the Union, giving each one a
big main artery for highway travel,
according to Batchelder, who believes
, that four direct east and west roads
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with
one "Y" from the great lakes to the
Pacific coast along the northern bor-
der, five north and south roads--bor:
der to border-and three prominent d.
agonals for important interconnectfon5
would be included in this total mile
age. At $4,000 per mile Mr.. Batchel-
der estimates that this would mean
road requirement Of $300.O0O.Oo0
This $4,000 per mile is based on an
| average of extremes from low cost be-
cause of topography and nearby ma
terial to high cost per mile because Of
contra-conditions. and the figures also
include bridges and culverts. At the
present population and the normal in
crease during the period of ten years
this would mean an equated payment
of 81 cents per inha bitant per year.
Mr.. Batchelder points to the fact that
state which does not provide inter-
state road connection with adjoining
states is plainly at a disadvantage
and says that road brings commen-
surate value for the expenditure and is
available to those living in the terri
tory traversed. as we'll 'as those who
come from distance. p He believes
that the commonwealth should build
arteries Of communication and meet
the wants Of the largest number OF
people just as 1t Is done by the rail-
roads

0TSn9Sn0 tuO s10U 70 S"Os
Why should a hen have any better
right to cease her daily toll while she's
molting than a woman has giving up
housework when she decides to remod-
ell her winter hat or darn the heels Of
her stockings? Hens have too much
their own way about this laying busi-
ness, which makes it exasperatingly
inconvenient and exceedingly expen-
sive for us consumers. Labor unions
have often tried our patience, but
when a low down brindle hen refuses
to lay while her millinery and dress
making are under way it's carrying the
thing bit too far for enjoyment. and
if she declines to arbitrate the matter
under discussion her food supply
should be cut off until she comes to
her senses. A hen with such dispo-
sition isn't ft for fricassee!-Cartoons
