Of Steel Fifty Per
Cent
Price Is Fair, Says President
OF Steel Institute
Will Share

Washington, Sept. 24.-Steel
prices in the United States were cut
in half today when President Will
son approved scale of quotations
fixed in voluntary agreement
made by producers with the War
Industries Board. The general
public, as we'll as the American and
Allied governments, will share in
the reductions, which will 90 into
immediate effect, and the agree
ment provides that producers shall
not reduce wages.
The prices will obtain until jan
uary /, 1918, to be revised then if
investigation shows they are in
equitable.
The entire output of the Ameri-
can steel plants will be distributed
under supervision of War Board,
which, exercising the powers of pri-
ority of transportation given the
government by Congress, will ap-
portion it in a way best to meet the
country's war requirements.

5 to 20 per cent below the Houston

At this time there are about 500

WHERE WE ARE AT?"

Politically the chief value of Lin
gives the speakers of telling how far
afield the republican party has
strayed, and a Jefferson Day banquet
gives an opportunity to paint a similar
picture of the wanderings of the dem
ocratic party.
In the days of these great men we
had two partes-now we have none.
Groups of men using the valuable
party banners are leading, by easy
steps, people opposed to socialism
into a socialistic form of government.
Both groups are doing this, aiming at
national Capitalization of everything.
Both groups are for protection; botha
groups are opposed to state rights and
both groups are out to win and either,
One of them is willing to sacrifice
convictions rather than accept defeat.
The direct primary has been the in
strument used to destroy the parties.
The disgust of the people with the old
convention plan made some change
necessary, and they went from the
frying pan into the fire.
The only way TO win in state
where the direct primary is in force
is to ignore the law and that the mi
nority party does. We have seen it
work here in Idaho. The democrats
here have had no voice in the selection
of their candidates and now they are
in power If they leave the law as it
is they will go out of office land the
contest is for office only. To be sure,
we had platforms. but no one even
heard either of them mentioned dur
ing the campaign.

HISTORY OF ROADMAKING.
Alexander Hamilton First Urged the
Use of National Funds.

Speaking of the federal appropria-
ton for roads just passed by congress,
bulletin of the American Highway
association says:
The use of national funds for road
improvements was urged early in the
history of this country by Alexander
Hamilton. little later Albert Gala
tin succeeded in securing the passage
by congress of an act setting aside
one-twentieth of the proceeds of the
sale of public land in Ohio for build
ing a highway from tidewater to the
Ohio river In 1906 President Jeffer-
son appointed three commissioners to
locate this route. which ran through
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia
The first contract for construction was
placed in 1910, and In 1918 part of the
road was opened to travel 1t was
called the National road and was built
with national funds exclusively, so
that the bill just passed by congress
to furnish money for road building
proposes nothing new. The federal
government did not have the same
views then that it has now of the i'm
portance Of maintaining highways.
The National road was the main thor
oughfare for the heavy travel between
the seaboard and the Ohio valley, and
lack of maintenance resulted in the
road becoming very poor In 1881
Pennsylvania asked congress to turn
over to her care the portion of the
road within her boundaries and Mary

land ana Virginia also made SlEIlar
request somewhat later. Unfortunate
ly state control did not result in any
marked improvement. The counties
which had charge of the portions with
in their boundaries did not pay much
attention to highway improvements,
and it was not until the comparatively
recent organization of state highway
departments that the old National road
was given any real care. In the last
ten years, however, reconstruction has
been going on steadily. In about two
years the entire length in Pennsyl
vania will be in good condition. and
the portion In Maryland is also very
nearly reconstructed. Farther west
the old highway is not in such good
condition, although sections of it have
been rebuilt there. SO this early ven
ture in national road building, success
full until the railroad took its place, is
again in a prominent place among the
