A MUDLESS MISSOURI

Roads that can be used 365 days in
the year in at least 100 Missouri coun-
ties. the cost being IA cents an acre
annually for 20 years-that is what
this state will have if the Hawes Road
Bill, which has passed the Missouri
House of Representatives. becomes a
law.
This bill provides that the state, as
sisted by the Government appropria-
ton, shall pay one-half the cost OF
any state highway; the county
through which it runs, the other half.
Approximately 100 counties out of the
ia in Missouri would have a we'll
built state roads for one-half the cost.
The amount saved each county could
be used to build other roads. Similar
legislation will connect up the coun-
ties not receiving direct benefits by
this act.
The state system, as contemplated,
will include $500 miles of road at an
average cost of $4,000 a mile, total
expenditure of s21,OOO.OOO. After de-
ducting the Government appropria-
ton, which has already been made. the
cost will be $1S,5OO,OOO.
The direct taxation method is too
costly. States that are building hard
surfaced roads are using the bond
method. which is fair and just to all.
The value of good roads is too well
known to question the advisability
of constructing them. The method
of building them is the only cOnsid
Grafton. Once that is solved, the
problem is easy. The Hawes bill
sounds reasonable, and if Missouri
can pull out of the mud for IA cents
an acre annually, for twenty years,
this bill should become a law.

THE A. Il, {. OF WAR

In a regrettable article on our un-
preparedness for peace, the editor of
the Metropolitan Magazine arraigns
the present Administration. He la
ments passionately that we have had
to face the future without the stimu-
lus of war, which has purified and
made morally strong the nations of
Europe. And he declares that the
United States does not desire peace
because the gambling clique of Wall
Street which has made money out of
the war is an active barometer of
the hopes and fears of the people
What exactly is the lesson which
Europe has learned at the swords
point and which America will not face
today? What have been, or will be.
the beneficent results of war? I'VE
believe" says the Metropolitan, that
all the terrible suffering of France
will be atoned for by the splendid i'm
petus which has been given to her new
life Her new life-when for the
last three years France has been bled
white of her youth, her hope, her
possibilities for future generation.
The social development of England"
-again-"has gone far beyond our
widest dreams" What of the bitter
ness in French Canada and Ireland? q?
Is it social development that the high
pressure in great Britain keeps wom-

schedule, creates a seven-day week

man people, mas proft-mongering
grown any the less? Is food graft nm
common? Are the nations satisfied
with heavy taxes, conscription. food
regulation, confiscation of personal
property and martial law?
True, they endure it. In this crisis
as IN many others, the people have
risen with wonderful nobility TO the
unnatural demands of war. They have
shown magnificent reserves of ENERGY
and steadfastness. And TO wba, ordo
