The other file acquired by the Anti
quarian society Is of the Federal Re-
publican, established at Baltimore in
1908 by Alexander c. Hanson. The
file runs from 1908 to 1919. The Re.
publican opposed Madison's admins
tration, and became not only lead
ing organ of the Federalist party, but
was much quoted by other papers in
the country. In 1912 its Office was de-

removed to Georgetown. d. c. 1t was

ROAD BUILDING
POLICY

| Secretary Houston Of the De.
partment of Agriculture, in a com
munication to the American As.
ISOLATION of State Highway Of
Gals, has set fourth squarely the
policy which he thinks should be
followed in highway construction
during the war. Secretary Hous-
ton says:
80 far as it is practicable to do
so, this department will urge the
maintenance of the highways al
ready constructed; the construction
and completion of those highways
which are vitality important be-
cause of their bearing upon the
war situation or for the movement
of commodities; the postponement
of all highway construction reIa-
lively less essential or not based
upon important military or econ
omic needs. The department is
preparing to suggest to the State
highway depar tment, the prepare
ton of a schedule of work for the
Federal aid projects for 1918 in
line with this policy
In carrying out the policy thus
announced there has been sent out
by the Office of Public Roads, of
the Department of Agriculture,
schedule forms on which the States
are requested to set forth their
proposed Federal aid work for the
1918 season. These schedules call
for a description of each road, the
character, quantity and rail haul
of the materials to be used, the
probable cost, the amount of Fed |
eral funds desired, the specific
purpose of the improvement, its
bearing upon the war situation,
and what effect a delay of work
until 1919, or later, would have.
With the information thus as
sembled and classified, an efficient
road construction program is as
sured. While it is impossible to
make any definite statement regard
ng the transportation of road
the expectations are
hat the transportation situation
will be improved and that the
shipment of such materials for
essential projects can be made.
Road construction and mainten
nee in the United States involve
n annual expenditure of some
800, 100000, and there is scarcely

[CY yrUCCr N south lin

1t will be we'll for every unmar-
ried person whose net income for
1917 is $1,000 or over, and eyeyy
married person living with wife or
husband whose net income for 1917
lis $4,000 Or over, to call on the in
come tax man and learn whether
or not they have any tax to pay.
The person subject to tax who
doesn't make return in the pres
scribed time is going to regret it.
The. government will get after all
income slackers.
There's hardly business man,
merchant,or professional man who
won't have to make return of in
come. Farmers, as a class, will
have to pay the tax. The safe
thing to do is for every person
who has a total income of $1,000
or $4,000, as the case may be, and
who is not sure about what deduc-
tions the law allows him, to "play
it safe' by calling on the income

everybody, and persons who ex.
pect to call on him need not trou-
BILE themselves to write to the in
