The present legislature so far
has passed but eight new laws and
thus has merited the lasting graft
tude of the people. During the
last session about three hundred
new laws were passed to the nau
sea of the populace What legis,
latures ought to do is knock sever
al hundred laws ON the head; then
we should have an understandable
c0he instead of II Chinese puzzle.
The tendency Of legislature nova
days is to simplify the laws. For.
merly every legislator wanted to
submit bill irrespective of it's
merits and such could not be
blamed, because the dear "peepul'
at home expected to hear from
their Statesman" down in The Ca
pitol. Otherwise if he merely sat
there during the session like the
Sphinx and looked wise, the dear
'peepul" said he was a bonehead,
and usually that was the end of his
political career. Nowadays how

GOOD
ROADS
ROADS IN NATIONAL FORESTS
Allotment Made TO Each State for Inn
provement by Secretary Houston
California Leads.

Secretary Houston has announced
the amount allotted to each state from
the million dollars to be spent during
the fiscal year 1918 In constructing
roads and trails within or partly with
In the national forests. This money is
part Of the $10,OOOO0O appropriated
by the federal aid road act to assist
development Of the national forests,
which becomes available at the rate of
$1,000,000 year for ten years.
The allotments as approved are as
follows: Alaska. $46.354; Arizona,
$58,604; Arkansas, $9,S03; California,
S140.9SS; Colorado. $62,575; Idaho,
Sos, 730; Montana, $70,O42; Nevada,
S19,296; New Mexico, $42,495; Ore
gon, $129,111; South Dakota, 5000 I;
Utah, $41, 167; Washington, $91, 944;
Wyoming, $40,6S4. A total of S9,995
has been allotted to Florida, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota
and Oklahoma. The group Of eastern
states-Georgia, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, North and South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
In which the government. is purchas-
ing lands for national forests, receives
$21,120.
In making allotments, 1t is explained,
10 per cent of the amount available
for 1918 is withheld as a contingent
fund. One-half of the remainder has
been apportioned among the states in
amounts based on the area Of the ma
tonal forest lands in each state, while
the other half has been allotted on a
basis of the estimated value Of the
timber and forage resources which the
forests contain.

BAD ROADS VERY EXPENSIVE
Estimated Cost Of 20 Cents a Ton Per
Mile on Average Hghway-!3
Cents on Improved.

There is no need of discussing the
Importance of good roads. They are
essential to comfortable travel, to the
economic production and distribution
of farm products, to the development
especially of satisfactory rural schools,
and to the Improvement of the social
life of the nation. Bad roads are
very expensive possessions. 1t Is es-
timated that it costs % cents under ex.
isting conditions to haul a ton a mile
on the average country road and only
Is cents on a properly improved road.
but this Is not all the story. The de
rect cost Is very great and the indi-
rect costs are possibly greater. With
bad roads the farmer Is compelled to
haul when he should be engaged In
other activities. while with go6dHroads
he can plan his operations without
reference to the weather. The states
and the local units. as has been init
mated. have strikingly recognized these
truths by greatly increasing their APP

TWO WELL KNOWN
UNPOPULAR men
The Soil RObber and the
Community RObber.
SOME FARMERS ROB LAND.

Which 10 the Greater Robber, the
Farmer Who Robs His Soil or the
Man Who Robs the community?-A
Glorious American Privilege - Time
to Pause and Consider.
Copyrighted. 1914. by Thomas j. sullivan.l
There are many and various kinds of
robbers loose today in this land of
plenty, but perhaps the two most I'M
popular of them are the soil robber and
the community robber-the farmer
who robs his land Of its producing
strength and the consumer who robs
his community Of its dollars.
The high grade. successful farmer is
the one who increases rather than di-
minishes the fertility Of his land. Ev-
cry year he changes his crop with that
one object in view. He subscribes for
and reads very carefully the agricul-
tural reports. paying particular atten-
ton to the reports on experiments made
by advanced and progressive farmers.
Why he does this is plain. He knows
very well that it would be useless to
plant good seed in wornout soil It's
his wish and intention to make a profit
on his investment in seed and labor as
well as in soil. and this, of course,
could not be accomplished if the soil
were not fruitful.
Bleeding Home Communities.
Today there are hundreds Of thou
sands of American citizens who are
bleeding their home communities by
taking out of the channels of local
trade the money needed to transact
business and sending it to dealers who
do not and who cannot by any posi-
BILE means return it to do its proper
and necessary work in local business
circles.
The big city mail order houses that
sell goods at retail through the medi>
um of catalogues to farmers and 9TH
ers all over the country buy nothing
from their customers. They invariably
exchange goods for money. never
money for goods. They employ no
labor in the communities where their
customers must earn their living; they
buy no farm products; they own no
real estate; they pay no taxes: they
have no money on deposit in the local
banks: they do not advertise In the
local newspapers; they do not give
credit; they do not even pay the freight
- goods thew sell. Every cent taken

CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST

Floors With Wood, Says Mime

1t is poor economy to build bridges
with wooden floors or to replace
worn-out floors with wood, the Mime
sofa State Highway commission says
in a late bulletin issued to county
boards and district engineers.
''The department is frequently re-
quested to inspect old bridges and de-
termine whether 1t is feasible to re-
place a wooden floor, because in a ma
jority of cases the old bridge is found
to be dangerous when carrying trac-
ton engines" says the bulletin. ut

by them out Of the community Is per.
manehtly lost to the business OF that
community.
These are all plain and evident
truths. are they not?
We would ask this very same farmer,
who would be insulted were he charg-
ed with neglecting to keep his soil en-
Iiched to the highest possible degree,
10 explain how he can deliberately
rob his community by buying his goods
from out of town concerns.
Farmer Planted In Community.
The farmer plants seed in the soil.
and In order to produce results he musl
keep that soil fortified. Being him.
self planted in the community, he does
his trading in a foreign city and there
by assists his community in becoming
poor.
Why should this farmer have great.
er respect for the seed which he plants
than he has for himself, his family or
his neighbor?
There Is a community i'm Minnesota
in the center of which Is city EN-
bracing about 10000 people, and it is
conservatively estimated that some
thing more than 100000 annually Is
sent from there to mall order houses
for the purchase OF goods which could
just as we'll be secured at the home
stores.
This estimate Is based on the figures
secured from reliable sources in the
aforementioned community - that is,
from the banker, the express agent
and the postmaster.
This, perhaps, is the strongest evil
dence of "robbing" a community.
The answer to the above may be
that q man has a right to buy where
he pleases. 1t is his money he is spend
ing, and he has the right to send it
away if he wishes, particularly if be
feels that he is to be the gamer
thereby.
A Glorious American Privilege.
Quite true In this glorious America
of ours every citizen is privileged to
consult his own pleasure in spending
his money. He can spend it or hoard
1t up. or he may contribute it for the
purpose Of building monuments to the
memory Of great men. No one can
lawfully dispute that right.
Likewise the soil robber has the
right to use his land as he wishes and
without any consideration for its fu-
ture fertility. The land belongs to
him, and he can do as he pleases wsth
it. He is a free man. surrounded by
hundreds Of laws enacted for the pro-
lection of his rights.
Pause and Consider.
The parallel drawn between the two
cases has a tendency to give the COM
munity robber a chance to pause and
consider.
He should give the matter very
serious attention and thought and en-.
deavor to figure out a method by
which be can increase its wealth, just
as the honest farmer increases the
richness and productiveness of his soil
In this way only can large and sub
stantial community be attained.

takes a strong bridge to carry a con-
crete soor, but we find that after the
original floor has been replaced twice
with wood, on a light truss, the eX-
pense is as great as it would have been
to build concrete floor bridge, with
heavier steel, and any further expense
is a clear waste of money"

Price Regulations

Washington, June 9-Patrio-
tism will be the basis of food
control in America until auto
cratic measures become Deces'
sary. Absolute price.fxing and
requisitlon is to be adopted only
as a last resort. Hoover's plan
is to reach an agreement on a
price for wheat Of $1.50 per
bushel, based on a ten-year pre-
war average, and allow for extra
cost of production. A govern.
ment loan elevator may loan
money to buy wheat, preventing
the necessity of going to boards
of trade. Millers will pay stor-
age charge to elevators, plus the
basic price and the mill to make
straight -four to be sold under
seven dollars per barrel, less
than half the present price. The
is to attend to those
who refuse to agree to the plan.
