Florida, the Road-Building State


liable bulletins on all phases of road
work, and We ask our Florida read
ers to write for the bulletin on the
King Drag, "a simple and inexpensive
device to keep roads in good shape.
1t is also suggested that repair work
can be carried on by motor power in
stead of mules. A tractor can be
rugged up now for about the cost of
a good span of mules. When the
motor is not at work it does not need
to be fed, and when it is at work, it
can be made to cover more territory,
with less men, than is the case with
mules. This applies 10 all sections
with sand clay roads.
It is estimated that last year the
United States expended quarter of
a billion dollars for road work. A
considerable portion of this has al
ready been lost. Proper supervision,
right business methods and central
control must come about if we hope
to conserve this vast annual invest
ment so that it may be made cumula-
and wasteful charge upon the pub
lie.
Florida has State Road Depart
ment. Without it we could not get
the federal appropriation. 1t is in
competent hands, but its authority
so far is in an advisory capacity. 1t
has already rendered excellent serv-
ice to various sections. 1t will lead
if it has the chance to logical plann-
ing, 90 better methods of construct
ion, to selection of routes and con-
nections, kind of drainage, to safe
bridges and to an intelligent system
of maintenance. No northern state
has developed its roads to meet mod
ern requirements without power
lodged in central body. 1t is said
that the coming legislature will con-
slider the question of enlarging the
! duties and authority of the present
department.

Japan, Former
Debtor Is Creditor

Toxic, Jan. 21.-One of the most
striking phenomena that the war has
created as regards Japan is her
quick shifting from a debtor to a
creditor nation. Since the Russo
Japanese war the world has got ac-
customed to thinking of the Japanese
Empire as borrowing country. Now
the tables are turned and Great Bri-
tain which loaned so much money
to Japan in the past has actually
come here for loan.
The recent fotation in Japan of a
British loan for 100,000,000 yen of
$50,000,000 was a great gsuccess. A
tehss$hTAU. .VleLboksd hrd hrd h
few days after the lists were opened
to the public the syndicate which had
the issue in charge advertised that
no more subscriptions would be re-
ceived. The incident showed that
there is plenty of available rapital in
Japan. The success of the British
loan is to be attributed not only to
Japanese confidence in British re
sources but also to the preference by
the japanese public for short term
loans. The English bonds are re-
deemable in three years.
1t is pointed out here that the f.
nancial assistance just rendered tc
Breat Britain is only part of what
has been done for the Entente Allies
since the outbreak of the war. 1t is
calculated that japanese investments
in bonds and treasury notes issued
by the Entente Powers since the be-
ginning of hostilities total about
515,000,000 yen or $257 100000, ex-
elusive of the recent British loan.
Another significant feature of the
war period as regards finance has
been Japan's heavy payments abroad
of interest upon her own bonds and
even in partial redemption of the
same This has been especially
made possible by the nations heavy
accumulation of specie, which has
been due to a heavy increase in ex-
portations.

pire have been increased during the
war period about 100000 yen
or $6O0,000,000 represents the cash
balance to Japan's credit in the in
ternational operations.
Commenting on this new financial
situation the Herald of Asia which
reflects the opinion of the japanese
business world, makes the estimate
that if the war continues anther
year it would be safe to place the
probable total influx of money from
abroad at 2,000,O00,O00 yen, roughly
speaking, or about one billion dol
lars. The journal even expresses
the opinion that before the world
conditions shall have turned to the
normal, japan may be able to wipe
out her national debt in its entir-

BY w. A. McRae.

During the last couple of years,
thirty-nine countiesSof Florida have
issued $17,000.00O in bonds to build
roads. Per capita this is the largest
amount ever voted in any state for a
like public improvement. In addition
to this every county in the state has
spent a good deal of money in ftful
and variable ways to repair and
maintain existing roads.
We need the roads contemplated
and under construction, need them to
enable the farmers and their fami-
lies to get easily and cheaply to town,
to market, to school, to church, to
houses of neighbors and friendly
visits, and needed for the use of
tourists from other states, as well as
for our own people out on tours fo1
business and to see and learn of our
own state.
The value of "first impressions" is
matter generally admitted. Most
people usually "size up" a man by
his appearance, and the same habit
will obtain in the opinion we form OF

in 1918 and the remaining S468 900 in
1919 and 1920.
States and counties in all parts of
the Union have voted large sums for
road improvements. Philosophical
men have organized associations and
planned great national highways to
eris-cross and connect up all parts
of the Union. Several of these inter
state roads come to Florida; the
Dixie Highway from north and north
west; the Quebec and Miami High
way between Canada and the Allan
tic Coast states, and the old Spanish
Trail to connect the Atlantic ocean,
across our state and along the Gulf
Coast to California, making the only
open and comfortable transcontinen-
tai route in all seasons. The Old
! Spanish Trail is not to be without
competition. This it will have in
the Old Indian Trail from Charles
ton, S. c., to Los Angeles, CAL.
through very interesting country.
The Old Spanish Trail touches many
worth while and striking spots, and
it behooves Florida and the other
Gulf States to get busy. We must
connect up with everything along the
| way, and our Trail must be bordered
with semi tropical trees and verdure,
something not possible on the more
northerly roads across the continent.
There must be rest spots, camping
places and provision for water.
Florida is tourist state. It has
only one rival, and that one has al
ready provided itself with fnS sys-
tenn of roads. Not only must the Old
Spanish Trail, and our country roads
be made good, but they must be
properly marked with signs giving
all necessary kinds of information
Right here let me call attention ia
| Act 70 of the Legislature of 1913
which instructs county commissioners
under penalty of removal from office,
to erect and maintain sign boards at
road crossings and inter-se sections
showing direction and distance to
nearest towns. Not all of the coun-
ties have complied with this useful
requirement No complaints have
been filed by interested parties
against officials who have overlooked
a plain duty. A traveller who goes
