UNCLE SAM MAKES ROADS.

Within the past year Uncle
Sam has taken a hand in the
road building game. His COM
ing in has been the subject of
many dismal prophecies of the
probable waste of public funds,
of shiftlessness-in a word, of
the "pork barrel" With our
remembrance of useless army
posts and navy yards maintained
at congressional behest, of the
millions spent on socalled river
and narbor improvements and
on unnecessary public buildings,

political advantage, and in the
constituencies not only accepts
the loot but applauds and re-
elects the looter, these prophe-
cies cannot be brushed aside as
unreasonable.
Against the undoubted and
disgraceful facts on which these
forebodings are based, it is well
to recall some of the work that
Uncle Sam has put through with
credit to himself. The Panama

NO MORE BLIND VOTING AT
SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
New Law Requires Registration
of or Petition for Every
Candidate.

Those who have noted the
haphazard system of voting at
school elections when voters
came drifting up to the polls
without knowing who to cast a
ballot for because there was no
public information as to candi-
dates will be glad to know that
this condition is remedied by an
act of the last legislature. This
new law is an important i'm
provement on the old law under
which a few voters at quiet
election might appear at the last
minute and unopposed dictate
the election of their candidates
without regard to their fitness
for attending to the welfare of
the school district.
From now on any man or
woman desiring to be a candi-
date for any school district po-
sition must, not more than 30
days nor less than IL days, be-
fore election file with the clerk
of the district an application to
have his or her name placed on
the ballot. Or, if it is a case
of the Office seeking the man,
five voters of the district may
file an application for and on
behalf of any voter they desire
to be a candidate. The clerk
will then prepare ballots at the
expense of the district with
blank squares opposite the names

crosses as at general elections.

canal stands first, but is by no
means alone. Our lifesaving,
geodetic survey, reclamation and
fish culture services need no de-
fense nor apology. Their work
bears witness for them.
Which precedent is to rule
our national road work? The
answer depends on the people.
However much a secretary OF
agriculture may want to get re-
suits, his way will be a hard
one unless public opinion is be-
hind him. If the public will not
tolerate waste, stupidity and in
eptitude in their road work, al
most any secretary will make
good or soon find a way into the
discard.
1t is only fitting, therefore,
that in these days when federal
activity is about to begin, those
features of the problem that in
fuence results should receive
the fullest and frankest discus
sion.-Scribners.

NOT A FAIR BUT A FOOD
CAMP.

The Minnesota State Fair,
which is to be held Sept. 3 to 8,
has rendered it's services as a
flood training camp" to Presi-
dent Wilson, to assist the gov
ernment in it's efforts to increase
crop production and reduce the
waste of food in this country,
which is known to be enormous.
'The men you are calling in
to service" said Secretary T. H.
Garfield in part, in a letter to
the President, ''are being cen
centrated in military training
camps, because it has been
found that they can be trained
more efficiently in that way than
in smaller groups. It would
seem that there is just as much
necessity to call the great rank
and file of food producers and
consumers into central food

the railroads in theif. application
for a Is per cent increase in
rates. Mr.. Powell goes with q
bundle of figures and statistics
of local interest taken from the
records of the actual operations
of the Nebraska roads under the
Adamson law that he expects
will add the element of surprise
to the hearing.
Mr.. Powell went direct to the
checks of the men. These show
that the actual increase in labor
cost to the railroads under the
Adamson law will not exceed 4
per cent on the road men and 20
per cent in the terminals. They
show that the c., ST. P, M. & O..
road, between Sioux City and
Omaha, is actually making a
saving of $577 a month over it's
previous operating cost. This
has been made possible by di-
viding the old division into two
new ones, one So and the. other
SO miles long, and by handling
the crews to prevent any over
time. The surplus labor re-
quired under the new regime
does not cost as much as the
entire labor cost under the old,
with overtime added.
Conductors on the Sioux City
Omaha division who formerly
made $6.55 day now make only
$3.50, and are restricted to eight
hours. The same is true of train
men and enginemen. In the
Omaha yards, yard engineers
who formerly made from $3.50
to $190 month now get from
$125 to $135. The roads have
simply cut down on overtime
and now employ more men to
do the work. AS illustrating
how it works Mr.. Powell cites
this example: In the Union Pa
cific yards at Omaha previous
to the application of the law
there were 233 enginemen and
groundmen. There are now 545,
caring for practically the same
amount of business, but the ac-
tual increase in cost to the rail-
road is but 20 per cent. Thus
where 100000 a month for ter
minal expenses was distributed
between 233 men the $120,0O0
now paid is divided between

training camps for a short course
in the more efficient methods of
food production and conserva-
tion. The appropriate time is
during the lull following the
harvest season, since the Nation
is working too hard now to care
for the crop already planted"
1t is believed that the govern
ment will cooperate to the full
est extent in furnishing lee
lures, demonstrations and ex-
hibits to assist the Fair in it's
work. The Fair is making an
unusual effort to induce breed
ers of farm animals to exhibit
in larger numbers than ever be-
fore, that farmers in this ter
ritory may be encouraged to
raise none but the best breeds
and types of animals. Manu-
facturers of farm machinery
are being urged to exhibit all
their latest models and improve
ments. The state is being
secured everywhere for super
ior specimens Of the varieties
Of grains, forage crops, fruits.
and corn best suited
to our soil and climate. The
women's department is to hold
a series of demonstrations and
lectures by specialists of repu-
tation to instruct housewives
how to furnish the table at the
lowest possible cost. Much at
tention is to be paid to children's
work, to enlist the children in
the work of food production and
food conservation.

Foreigners Profit
ON U. S. COAL PRICES
Express Urge that Fuel Administra.
ton Correct Conditions.

Profit on American coal now is 60
Ing into the pockets Of foreign ves-
sci owners and foreign coal dealers.
The situation has been presented to
the attention of the United States
Fuel Administration and higher prices
Tor American coal transported
abroad and coal used in the bunkers
OF ships in export trade Is being con-
sidered.
Present prices on these two classes
OF coal DR.. Garfield explained were
fixed by the President and the Fuel
Administration. but England and
other exporting countries not only
permit higher prices for export coal,
Dut actually prescribe minimum
prices to prevent competition that
would force cheap coal for export at
the expense of home producers and
Ultimately affect the national finan-
cial strength.
Experts who have been preparing
data ask that this gratuitous profit
to foreign consumers be kept in
America. They emphasize the situa-
tion by citing that the profit now go
ing abroad is SO appreciable that in
some instances It is subject to for
eign taxation as high as 80 per cent.
The same condition prevails in
South America, which has the mar
ket price established by England. to
the advantage Of those who import
American coal.

some time another issue of liberty
bonds.
Statistics, which have the weight OF
authority, have within q few days
been published which set forth In
some detail present-day conditions Of
the automobile industry. This indus
try has already established the right
to be ranked as the third largest In
the United States. Some Of the fig-
ures are spoken OF with amusement.
As, for instance, the total capitaliza-
ton Of the automobile industry of
the United States - s736, 100000. When
! 1t is borne In mind that the industry
Is less than twenty years Of age. then
the recent relation Of this fresh cap
ital and new wealth to the entire
country, q relation secured In less
than twenty years, Is, 80 far as Its
magnitude Is concerned, better un-
derstood.
But If, in addition to this capitali-
zation, there should be added that OF
the industries engaged in the produc-
ton of tires or of apparatus needed
by the automobile manufacturers,
then it would be safe to estimate that
the total of new capital or new
wealth created by this industry with
in twenty years Is Approximately
8. 900. .OOo, 900.
value Of Auto Trucks.
Another feature Of the statistics IL
lustrates the rapidly increasing COM
mercial Importance of the automobiles
for it is learned that in the year that
ended on June 30 at least 10000 auto
trucks transported 6.0O0, 100000 ton
miles of goods. Probably In view of
the fact that the auto truck Is being
more and more used for military pur-
poses, the report as of June 30, 1918,
will show that these new commercial
facilities for transportation will have
moved perhaps as much as 5000, ,000, 900
Of ton miles Of commodities In single
year.
There Is another feature associated
with this industry which Is not men
toned in the authoritative statistics
and that is the upkeep. Ten years
ago at a time when James ]. Hill
amazed the country by reporting that
S3OO, 200 900 had been invested in q sin
gle year in automobiles. George West
inghouse caused a computation by
men competent for the work to be
made Of the cost of the upkeep. That
computation showed that the upkeep
OF the automobiles then In use was
approximately $3OO,O0o,OOO a year. But
that estimate was made ten years
ago. At the rate Of increase In the
manufacture and use of the automo-
biles since then, 1t would probably be
reasonable to estimate that the up
keep of the automobiles, truck, COM
merclal and pleasure, for a single
year Is now at least 500, 900, 900.
With the exception, possibly, Of the
stupendous development of our cop
per industry and of agriculture there
Is no other increase in American in
dustrial life in capital or the money
value of products that can be COM
pared with this.

should come in with the report that

is hailed as a genuine triumph. War

When several batteries are thus fir
ing at the same target, 1t is impos-
sible for an observer to distinguish
his own rounds, but the shoot is well
worth watching from an observation
post, for all that. Perhaps the target
Is a group Of houses, well back from
the line, and SO far practically un-
damaged. Suddenly the observer hears
the whine of many shells passing
over his head, and in a few seconds
as many clouds of earth and bricks
flying up from the target. A cloud
rises from 1t, spreading out until all
detail Is obscured, through which
every second the flashes Of subse-
quent explosions show up red and
lurid. Above and around the cloud,
pufts of shrapnel form a constant
fringe, leaving no hope for the un-
fortunates who may try to escape by
flight from the hell of high explosive.
At last the droning OF the shell ceases,
the cloud drifts slowly away, and
where ten minutes ago the houses
stood Is nothing but a confused heap
of rubbish, about which here and
there bright fires are burning. The
guns have done their work we'll
