THE ROADS OF 1917.

It will be but short time now
until the rigors and storms of win
ter viii be past and the problems
Of a new year will be before us
for solution.
One Of the most important Of
these problems viii be, What Of
our country roads in 1917"
The year 1916 witnessed the
greatest impetus to road building
that has ever been known IN our
history. Government, state, coun-
ty and municipality all awoke and
attacked the problem with yigor,
and the results in many instances
were most gratifying.
But there was, the past year,
another element in the solution Of
the good road problem that here
tofore had been laclxing-that Of
community cooperation. in many
parts Of the country the importu-
mites Of the good roads advocates
had their effect. and the PEOPLE
awoke TO the live fact that the
roads were THEIR roads, and that
THEY were individually respon-
sible for their maintenance And
this was just the added force need

ed to give to the movement an i'm.
petus that nothing could stop.
II is this feature of community
cooperation that must be foster
ed If our roads are TO be made
what we would have them. Each
and every citizen must be fully
aroused TO HIS responsibility
not merely to pay his taxes and
give his few days work each year.
but to shoulder his full share Of
responsibility and never let up I'M
til every road in his community
is a GOOD road.
Many communities have worked
up a sentiment that each and ev-
cry citizen shall give one day out
of each month to voluntary labor
on the roads. This is an auxiliary
to all other road working facili-
ties. And the plan as carried out
in these communities has worked
splendid results in the improve
ment Of the highways
III all communities win organize
ON this plan, work il up TO a max
imum of efficiency, and keep the
enthusiasm at white heat, it viii

awake to the fact that their road
problem has been solved.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

We have become so accustomed
to the cry that the prevailing
high prices Of living are the result
of our increased exports of food
stuffs that it comes as somewhat
of shock to learn from official
figures that during the past year
our exports of food supplies were
in reality something like $10O, 600
600 less than the previous year.
And it was stated on the same
authority that never before has
the visible supply been so low.
The food spectators have been
yelling that Europe was making
such tremendous demand for our
food supplies that the enormous
shipments in themselves were the
cause of sky high prices. That,
too, appears to be a mixture of
financial wind and hot air
Congress is investigating" the
price boosting combines. But did
you ever hear of the politicians Of
either party doing anything more
than to investigated" Did you
ever hear of a convictionl More

There are two distinct causes
for the prevailing high prices
We lack producers, and we are
cursed with a set of food speeula-
tors who would starve a baby to
death for a penny
Our production IS not keeping
pace with the demand, because

THE COST OF men LIVING

The success attending the boy.
colt on eggs and turkeys serves to
remind us of the remark of re
cent writer who ventured the
opinion that it was not so much
the high cost Of living as it was
the cost Of high living that was
troubling the country at this time.
That writer placed his finger on
one of the s0rest spots IN our do
nestle economy.
We are the most extravagant
people on earth.
Fifty years ago our fathers
would have sworn mighty but
righteous oaths had any been gull
ty of our extravaganza. They
lived in a manner that we of this
day would consider the extreme
Of hardship.
Our grandmOthers, could they
come back, would be thoroughly
seandalized at our profiigate ex-
travagance, and yet the strange
thing to us is that they managed
to extract about as much hap
piness from life as we do-lf not
a little more
1t has been said that the luxur-
les of one generation are the ne
eessities Of the next.
If this be true the outlook in
few generations is truly appalling.
Given all of our luxuries as their
necessities, with pFoportionate
Injuries OF their own which we
have not yet dreamed, to what gi-
gantic extent will extravaganza
have reachedR
The picture is not a promising
one. In fact it is by no means
attractive.
1t has been said that an Euro
pean peasants family would live
in comfort on what the average
American kitchen consigns to the
swill barrel. And we havn't
doubt of the truth Of the asser
ton.
Here's the American pace: Mr.
and Mrs. b, worth half a million,
aspire to live on the same scale as
Mr.. and Mrs. A, who are worth
full million. And Mr. and Mrs. G,
worth only a quarter Of a million,
would keep pace with the BIS, who
have half million, and so on
down the line.
Really, isn't it time for the sob
r, intelligent citizenship Of the
country to call halt on the use
ess, senseless and even idi0tic
of the age9
There is an end to every string,
md the American people are a
mighty long way from the begin
ing.
