Highway Construction More
 Urgently Needed Than EUer

Road building on scientific lines IS now of all absorbing interest. The cheaply constructed highway is soon to be thing of the past. George P McGrath of Washington, D. C., in timely paper on road construction, pre- pared for the anpfacturers Record says:aea
 One of th 4 pri ifaipal and fundamental industries which was stopped on -ac- count of the war was the road building and street paving industry Here is an activity which offers opportunity for the employment of thousanos ol men who will be made idle by the ces- sation of work on war activities.
 At the time the country was plunged into war the road building of the na- tion was not abreast with the demand of the times. Even then the need ol improved highways and the adVantaSes of paved streets was so acute that al the available equipment and materlais was busily employed. Suddenly ali these internal improvements were thrust into season of enforced ldie- ness. and roads and streets which re- auired improvement were abandoned to their fate.
 The use of roads and streets is al- ways a wearing-out and destructive process because of the very cnardceeL of the improvement. When roads ana street pavements are not property maintained and repaired the ratio or disintegrati tion and destruction grows apace at a very rapid rate.
 Today there are thousands or miles of improved roads and street pave ments in various parts or the country which require immediate attention, ana the estoppel of work on the army and navy camps and cantonments auto matically will force large armies oi employes to seek other places for em- ployment.
 During the war period the public has seen the necessity of good roads The railroads, taxed beyond their ca pacity. were unable to handle the bus1- ness offered, and the government was obliged to resort to the use of motor transport in order to transfer large quantities of stores and materials. Many of the roads were not in good condl' lion at the time of the outbreak oi hostiIities, and the exigencies or wal left little room for their betterment Thus many of the main trunk lint highways in the country will virtually have to be rebuilt, and it seems no inappropriate to at once urge care ful consid eration of the question o returning at once to free and libera policy with regard to road and stree improvement construction.
 The unprecedented wartime motoi tryck traffic, when long trains of mo tor trucks passed over trunk line high ways disclosed several points of eX- ceptional importance, both from tho public viewpoint with regard to Gooc roads and also from the technica

association at Chicago last month. He
 is considered a leading authority on rail- road tanks, and his comments on the recent development of the creosoted southern pine tank are of considerable importance, especially at this time. Briefly, the creosoting of the lumber used in building tanks renders it much less liable to decay than if it were not treated with the chemical, and this en- ables the railroads to assist in conserv- ing steel which before the war was ex- tensively employed in tank construction.

Southern Industry
 and Banking Neeaass z

A Louisville special to the Manufactur- CTS Record says, In part: The need for larger financial institutions in the south has been demonstrated on numerous oc- casions since the war broke out, due to the largely increased cost of all merchant disc and the larger sums required to finance business organizations.

try will pass quickly from great la
 bor stftngency to an oversupply or labor unless the peace industries are quick to get back to normal.
 Tt is to be assumed that the gov ernment has long given consideration to these things, and that it has wei. organized plan for stopping war work and taking up peace work simultane
 ously, so that there will not be long period of idleness in the country.
 From the policy of suppressing peace industries, or curtailing them
 the government must quickly pass to as broad and liberal policy as it is possible to establish. Wages have gone up enormously because of the great de
 mand for war work, ard the lack of limit placed on production costs. These, of necessity, must go down to some thing nearer a pre-war 'level-but they cannot go back to normal at once, be cause of the great lack of foodstuffs for d-supply-and these things, because of the great demand, will re- main high for sometime to come.
 The fine point of adjustment be- tween wide-open never mind the must look to the maintenance of ] l fair cost price. which will affect the sale of manufactured articles to the ultimate consumer will create an eco
 homie problem that will require all the skill and intelligence of government experts to handle it. It will, also, re- l quire patience and patriotism on the | part of employer and employe to 1 make the return without injury to in- ! dustry and without unfair loss to both

 In the south, where there are few large banking institutions manufacturers have been somewhat handicapped by lack ot borrowing facilities, and a big manufac- turer has had to go to several banks and banks in other cities to secure necessary | loans. The demand for better banking | facilities has resulted during the past l year or two in several big banking mer- 1 gers in the south, and Louisville has been

south takes roseate view. The Augusta Chronicle in discussing the automobile business says: Tine war industries board has announced long list of industries that may resume pro duction at once. Among them IS the automobile industry, manufacturlnS passenger cars.
 We believed in the beginning that this was one of the industries that should have been regarded more Tn the light of war essential induStry than otherwise, because of the enor- nous call on all transportation 1acll- ities occasioned by the war necessities.
 Had it not been for the great mum Der of automobiles in use and thelr service in relieving transportation sit nations over the country, industry would have been infinitely more intri- cate than 1t was.
 "The automobile industry was quick ly put on a war footing, and proved it. self the most flexible in the country; for in a very little while it was turn ing out enormous quantities of war supplies needed quickly by the govern ment.
 "Tt will as quickly get back on a peace footing, and will soon produce motor cars in quantities again.
 "One of the most important things to be done now, Is to get industries started on a high production basis because of the urgest need for things that have been curtailed or discon- tinued. There is another reason: Hun dreds of thousands of men now en- gagged in intuition plants, shipbuildin4 and other war industries, will soor be released from work, and the coun

 and 90-cent wheat was high before the

 machinery prices range as high as 300 per cent and more over pre-war prices in some instances.
 All of this has required greater bank ing facilities, greater borrowing power and banks of greater capital or larger banking units in order to accommodate the public. As the laws are such that no bank may loan more than 10 per

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-08-26

Going up! The Colorado (Teyas)
Record, like many other small and
enterprising Southern newspapers,
has announced an advance in sub
scription price. Three principal fac
tors compelled this action. First, the
cost OF print paper which has adj
vanced to several times the pre-war
cost; second, the zone postal law,
which more than doubled the rate for
this country newspaper; and third,
the new order prohibiting exchanges,
thus compelling the country newspa-
per to pay for the dailies it once got
in exchange. A similar complaint
comes from the Lakeland (Florida)
Telegram. II these and other small
Southern newspapers had gotten after
their Congressman when the zone law
was being considered, we would not
now be burdened with the oppressive
rate OF which the Record complains
As we predicted, It is the small, rath-
er than the large, publication, that
suffers most and is least able to sur
vive. The zone law means for most
publications that they must either GO
ND in price or go up the spout Les.
