POLITICS IN ROAD BUILDING

It is an axiom of sound business
not to lose good man If he can be
retained, and it is often an axiom of
practical politics to replace good road
builders with inexperienced men VINO
have rendered useful service to the
successful party. This sharp distinc-
ton between business and politics is
due to defective laws, and road ad-
ministration will not be on a bust
ness basis until there is permanence
in office for the skilled men. One
bad feature of the highway laws in
some states lies in the right given
to the legislature to pass local road
laws without the usual local notice
required for special legislation. Such
a provision opens the way for politi-
cal interference with road building
in the following manner: County po-
litical campaigns are not infrequent-
ly fought over road building pro-
grams. The successful political fac
ton then writes new local road law
to meet its desires and the 1egisla-
ture promptly passes it. If the next
election is carried by the opposing
faction the law is changed. The
county road building is thus kept in
a chaotic state, the road laws of the
different counties are unlike and do
not aid intercounty road building,
the possibility of cooperative work is
greatly reduced, and, experience
shows, the proportion of the road
taxes spent in administration and not
on the roads themselves is consid-
erably increased.

GREAT REJOICING AT SALMON

Buy Buster, the man who was
warned recently to stay away from
his old home at Salmon City because
the men of the town did not think
he should have been acquitted of a.
murder charge that had just been
tried at Shoshone, is in trouble again.
When Buster went home he and
his father were travelling in company
on the train, and it seems that come
body in the smoking car on the
branch road extending from Armsted
to Salmon ocered some insult to the
elder Buster and a fight ensued in
which the old gentleman was worst
ed. Arriving at Salmon the younger
man who had been in prison, was
met by his wife who had married
him during the trouble. Some time
during the day the sheriff approach
ed young Buster in great haste and
represented to him that mob was
forming to hang him. and that he,
the sheriff desired to avert such a
tragedy and would take him in his
car to a station up the line where
he could take the train out. Buster
fell for the trick or the bluff or kind
ness, whatever it was, and went out
to Armsted. A few days ago he
was arrested there by United States
marshall, charged with mailing some
booze to some one at Salmon. He
was taken to Butte for trial.

BUILDING BETTER ROADS

Rolling an earth road has been
demonstrated to be advantageous.
particularly by the use or neavy trac-
tors hauling grading machines. In
such cases 1t is not uncommon to
compress the earth from 80 to 80
per cent on light work, which means
better bearing capacity in the road
and less damage by rains. An i'm
portant point Is to drag the roadbed
constantly during its construction, so
that it will be smooth at all times.
In this way chuch holes and ruts are
prevented on new work, and the road
is turned over in finished condition
for the maintenance crew.
1t was formerly the rule to build
a high crown on an earth road in
order to shed water, but now that
maintenance systems are being es-
tablished, we find that a light crown
on substantial earth construction Is
best, for this permits intensive drag
ging, building up a puddled hard
crust resistant to traffic an imper-
vious to water. The least width OF
the roadway should be 20 feet and
on main lines "a feet, but for safety
on entertainments it is well to in
crease the width about 4 feet on an
embankment 4 feet high and feet
on an embankment s feet high.
We have all agreed that dragging
is the principal feature of earth road
maintenance. It is the management
of dragging which makes or breaks
the effectiveness of the work. The
must contract with
residents along the road to drag GER
tain definite sections after each rain
and whenever ordered by him. These
section may vary from one to three
miles for team haul and up to 10
miles or more with tractor. A price
per mile for dragging and per hour
for extra work like clearing bitches
is agreed upon. 1t is stipulated that
the price of the first fey draggings
be retained until the end of the sea-
son, and any neglect to drag when
necessary shall be compensated for
by a deduction from this retained
sum. 1t is impossible to check this
work closely, but by reporting by
postcard after each dragging and
using these reports as the basis for
monthly payments, few errors occur.
The superintendent is generally given
considerable voluntary assistance by
those using the roads.

A GERMAN CAME TO TOWN

w. A. Edwards was in from
Springfield, Saturday, and he dropped
in to josh the editor. He asked us
what Is to come of the tilt with Ger
many, and we told him We editor was
not yet old enough to know such
things. He said it would be very
serious matter to have a war with
Germany when 100000 of us are
Germans. We asked him to explain,
and he said. well. yon see we are
all more or less German or living
neighbors to Germans, and the child
rem may yet intermarry. My parent
al ancestors came to this country Is
years after the Mayf,w er came, and
they were Germans, but, of course,
they have intermarried with English
and French and others, but we are
still Germans in some degree. That
is the way with a lot of us, and it
is matter of degree.
OF course, we might all be loyal
to the country of our adoption. One
of my grandfathers in line fought in
the Revolution and helped steer
Washington boat across the Della
ware at Treton; his son was killed
in the war of 1912, and my father
fought in the Civil War, so you see
my family, while it is German, is
pretty well naturalized."
Mr.. Edwards went on to say that
he approved the theories advanced
by The Idaho Republican for holding
down the county expenses in various
ways. and was especially interested
in the matter of buying the luxuries
for INDECENT families. He said he
had observed that some folks who
draw county aid in winter live up
the limit of their income in summer.
He said he had seen families living
in luxury till their little purse was
exhausted and then going on county
aid. He did not approve Of it. He
had known of people drawing county
aid and at the same time refusing
employment which they were pefect-
ly able to handle.
The editor remembers that a few
years ago Mr. Edwards struck a hard
streak of luck and his creditors Just
about set him afoot, and at time
when there was sickness in the fam
lily sufficient to discourage some men,
but Mr.. Edwards did not lean on the
county. He got right out and faced
a bad situation like man. We need
more people with the true grit, and
when grating is stopped among both
the high and the low, it will be easy
to give aid and comfort to those who
really deserve it.

CLASSIFIES THE TAX MAN

It is natural that certain uncom-
plimentary epistles should find their
winging way to a newspaper office.
The newspaper is always telling the
news. But there is an office at the
Court House which receives its share
of correspondence rebuffs. In answer
to a delinquent tax notice recently
there came swiftly back the notice
itself with copy of receipt and
this acrid message:
"The above is copy of receipt.
Please let me near of you again II
this will satisfy your greedy intellig-
ence or not" s-.
If any words express the tax collec-
tors keen desire for proof about an
unrecorded payment, they are these:

that little note had the tax mans

MORE ROAD COURTESIES

People are remarking that the
courtesies of the road are being OBJ

ly. Two or three years ago a per-
son travelling with car had fire.
quent annoyances to get past the
teams that blocked the way and
whose drivers manifested stolid in
difference as to whether the auto got
by at all or not.
It is different now. The average
driver of a team is as anxious to
make a clear passage for the car as
the man in the car Is. 1t Is one Of
those nice marks of the manly man
that is much appreciated, to get a
prompt response to signal for pass
ing room.
More people are driving cars now,
and they appreciate the dangers and
difficulties; nearly everybody has
ridden in autos and they get to see
it from the viewpoint Of the man
who drives the car. The auto club
has educated it's members to exercise
due regard for the rights of the man
with team, and it has prosecuted a
few reckless drivers for being fool
hardy and Offensive, and better
feeling prevails as to the right way
to use the road.
Five or six years ago the relation
between the man with a car and the
man with a team were-well, per-
haps it would be as well to forget
those old days, and join the auto
club. It costs Sc the first year and
So year after that. Each member
receives the magazine called, "The
American Motorists and the club
is doing a good work in this county,
looking to better conditions. Just
mail your check to J. H. Early, Sec

be a member of the club.
