ly depend upon the following
conditions:
First-Traffic, type, width.
Second-Excavation and drain
age requirements.
Tbird-Availability of mater
ials for construction.
Fourth-Labor conditions and
distance from transportation IA
cilities.
Rarely, if ever have all these
conditions been identical on any
two roads or ever two consecu-
tive sections of one road. Com
parison of costs per mile on to-
tai length of roads may lead to
faulty conclusions and worthless
cost data.
If any man will carefully con-
slider the cost of several miles of
road, he will find that no two
miles will be equal. This is not
only true of roads built in ad-
joining counties, but is also true
when the construction consider
ed is all ion the same road or
roads in the same county.
Every mile of Interurban or
railroad line does not cost the
same and the same statement
applies equally to roads. There
fore, when speaking about the
cost of any road the vaaious
items which enter into its cost
must be reckoned. excavation to

consideration to the availability
of stone, water, labor conditions,
etc., and a final summation of
all elements which enter the
cost of the road, will give a true
estimate and that is the only
way any definite idea can be

this Federal Council and the
Reichstag, or Diet Of the Realm.
The Emperor has no vote onlaws
passed by these bodies. The
Bundesrat represents the indi-
vidual States OF Germany; it has
sixty-one members and these
members are appointed by the
governments of the Individual
States for each session. 1t is
presided over by the Chancellor
of the Empire. The Reichstag
represents the people of the En-
pire; it has 397 members and
they are elected by universal
suffrage for a term of five years.
1t has president, elected by the
Deputies. Both bodies meet in
annual session, convoked by the
Emperor. The Emperor has the
right of provoguing and dissolv-
ing the Reichstag with the con-
sent of the Bundesrat; but with
out consent of the Reichstag the
propagation must not exceed
thirty days, while in case of dis
solution new elections must take
place within six days, and a new
session must open within ninety.
All laws for the Empire must re-
ceive the votes of an absolute
majority of the Bundesrat and
Reichstag.
1t will be seen that as EN-
peror the German monarch has
comparatively little power; but
as King of Prussia he controls
the seventeen Prussian votes in
the Bundesrat (the next largest
state representation in six) anG
gains far more power thereby,
1t should also be noted that the
Chancellor of the Empire is re
sponsible, not to the Legislative
bodies, but to the Emperor alone

How the Kaiser Gets His Power.

The German Empire is a con.
stitutional monarchy, in which
all the States of Germany form
an eternal union for the pro-
lection of the realm and the care
of the welfare of the GermaL
people," The supreme direction
of the military and political
affairs of the Empire is vested il
the King of Prussia, who in this
capacity, bears the title of Deut
scher Kaiser German Emperor. }
The constitution states that the
Emperor represents the Empire
internationally" that he can de
clare defensive war, make peace,
enter into treaties with other M
tions, and appoint and receiv,
ambassadors. But when war IS
not simply defensive, or when
treaties relate to matters reg
ulated by imperial legislation. ="
the Emperor must have the con-
sent of the Bundesrat or Federal
Council.

OVeftaxlns the Newspapers.

The new war revenue bill I'm.
dertakes to nearly, if not quite,
tax a large number of newspa-
pers out of business, and to make
the rest of them barely self sus-
tanning. 1t puts a tax of five
cents on every dollars worth of
advertising; puts a ten cent duty
on wood pulp, which will increase
the cost of paper, and makes the
postage rate so enormously high
that most publishers will be I'M
able to meet it. The newspapers
are willing to bear just burden
of the war tax bills but this bill
undertakes to make them the
goat.
What have the newspapers
done to incur this hostility? 1t
is true they have, with space
worth millions of dollars, stim-
ulated the farmers to increased
production. Is the extermina-
ting tax in return for this?
1t is true that they are adver-
Using the liberty loan free OF
cost to the government at a cost
to the newspapers of millions OF
dollars on advertising basis.
They are helping Secretary Nc
Adoo make the loan a success
when it is necessary that it
should be success. Is this the
reason that a malevolent commit
tee wants TO rob many of then
of a living?
1t is true that they have giver
millions in space for the recruit
ing the army and navy. Is thi:
the reason they should be taxed
to the limit?
The newspaper has fostereC
education. 1t has promoted in
dustry. 1t has developed re
sources. 1t has stood for tht
law and forthe government. 1
has been the great intelligence
bureau of our citizenship. Arr
all these reasons why it shoulC
be overtaxed?
We do not believe that Con
gressmen, the majority of whom
owe their seats to loyal supper
Of newspapers, are going to be s.
ungrateful and to turn and ruiz
their friends. We do not believ
that Congressman are so unfai
and so unjust as to put upon tn
newspapers greater tax than
put upon any other business, sucl
as this bill proposes. If Con
gress does there will come da.
of reckoning. The pen will, at
ter the war, become mightie
than the sword, and the Con
gressmen slain will number a
those who vote for the iniquitou
tax upon the press.

Department Of Public Roads.
By R0dman Wiley.

Many people seem to think
that any type of road should
cost the same amount of money
no matter what conditions are
encountered or where the road
is located.
Some men when estimating
the cost of construction of a road
in order to determine whether
the county will have sufficient
funds to construct a certain type,
take the average cost of con-
struction of that. type in some
locality where conditions are
different and when they find the
road costs more than they had
estimated, blame the Engineer
and in a number of cases do
their utmost to have him dis
charged.
Seldom do such persons stop
to think that conditions are not
the same in all counties and sell
dom alike in any two counties.
The number of cubic yards of
excavation on one road may be
double that on another in the
same county, much less in any
other county. More drainage
structures will most likely have
to be built on one road than on
another, the material fer sur
facing the road might have to
be shipped into the county,
whereas quarries exist along the
proposed road in some other To-
cality, material might also have
to be hauled farther and water
with which to sprinkle the road
might not be so plentiful. The
amount of metal required for
any two roads is not the same,
labor conditions, costs of teams,
distance Of work from railroad,
etc., all influence prices, like
wise the cost of, work.
A we'll located road can be re-
built, resurfaced and maintained
at a far less cost per mile than
a poorly located road. If the
well located road has been prop
erly graded and the money ex-
pended for grading represents a
permanent improvement and the
cost of grading will be eliminat-
ed in the cost of resurfacing OF
rebuilding. If drainage struct-
ures of permanent type and suf.
ficient size have been provided,
the cost is again reduced. II
should not be difficult to under.
stand why the same type of road
and the same width of meta
surfacing in another locality
may cost more per mile.
! The cost of any road will large.
