a reduction In the cost OF hauling
is one Of the most immediate benefits
OF a good road. A striking instance
OF this is shown by investigations
conducted in Virginia where the av'
erage distance from the farm to the
market is 1910 miles. and the aver
age load for the staple crops Is about
one ton. Assuming that the wages OF
a two,horse team and driver are $500
per day, Il costs the farmer In vir.
ginia an average Of &c cents per ton
mile to market his crops. II the roads
were graded and improved with sur.
facing suitable for the particular road
and region, the load could be In.
creased at least so per cent and the
round trip made In the same or less
time without any additional hardship
on the team. This would represent
a clear saving Of $3.50 per day to each
farmer In the state for every day in

POSTSCRIPT
BELGIUM
Pope Asserts Germany Must

Washington, Jan. 22.-That the
pope will demand complete restitution
to Belgium of her government, her
territory. reparation for financial
losses and even the rebuilding of her
factories destroyed by the German in
Vasion, as IL tenet of a peace treaty
with Germany, is automatically report
ed in a communication received to-
day by the British embassy from Lon
don. The embassy today issued the
following statement:
"a distinguished Belgian Jesuit,
Father Benusz, lately received by the
Holy Father, has given the following
account of his audience to a Dutch
chaplain in the Belgian army on his
return:
The pope told me to repeat it
along the trenches to men and to Of
ficers and even to the king himself,
that he considers Belgium has the
right to complete reparation from
Germany and that he will never con-
sent to offer his good offices for re-
establishment of peace unless Belgium
has all her territories in Europe and
Africa restored to her, her libraries
and her international rights as they
existed before, and this without pre-
iudice to her claim for an adequate
indemnity to be fixed after a minute
inquiry and inventory of all public
monuments destroyed, after rebuilding
factories and private houses and resti-
tuition of all private property"

CALLS IT A FAILURE
Des Moines Councilman Says City
Government Is Costly and Re-
signs His Position.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 22.-The So
called Des Moines plan of city gov
ernment, which attracted much IA
vorable attention the country over
when it was adopted seven years ago,
is branded a failure by Councilman w.
F. Mitchell and a considerable per-
centage of the citizens. Mitchell was
put into office to see if he couldn't re-
organize affIirs and make the plan
successful.
His resignation is rendered today,
effective this spring.
Mitchell says the city manager plan
should be adopted by Des Moines.
The bonded and floating Indebtedness
of Des Moines has increased nearly
81. 900, 900 since the plan was put in
force seven years ago. The plan was
heralded as one that would eliminate
partisan politics from all municipal
elections place the responsibility for
the success or failure of the city gov
ernment upon the heads of the indiv-
iduaI commissioners and generally
make for economy and efficiency.
Mitchell says politics has not been
eliminated and that financially the
plan has accomplished no good. Mitch
ell favors electing councilmen by dis
tricts rather than at large, paying
them for one meeting a week. He be-
lieves all municipal executive control
should be vested in the city manager
together with power to enforce all
laws and ordinances and to control all
city work. Mitchell believes this
would kill the political phase he be-
lieVes has made the old Des Moines
plan useless.
