The Wage Garner

In order tao have prosperous
state It Is necessary that the wage
Garner as well as the farmer and bust
ness man be prosperous. No other
factor of our civilization contributes
more to the glory Of the city than good
roads. They distribute the necessi-
ties of life from the source Of produc-
ton to the place Of consumption. Good
roads will bring to the man with the
dinner-pail cheaper and better food
products.
Good roads will give labor a lift by
placing millions of dollars in circula-
ton among the toilers of the state
Good roads are stimulus not only t.
agriculture but also to industrial an(
commercial growth. The cansla
steam roads and the electric road
were all agencies in developing thu
prosperity of our thriving state hut tn
building of state system Of moder,
roads will bring renewed energy to on
mines, mills, factories and farms @
greater magnitude than any Of thes
other great factors OF prosperity.

The Merchant

The increased area of distribution of
the goods, wares and merchandise of
our factories and stores demands q
new method and means of transporta-
ton. Good roads will extend the rad
ius of service of the city merchant and
iobber to much larger territory. Coed
roads will keep the many millions Of
dollars of our citizens at home, instead
Of being spent through catalogue
houses in cities outside of the state.
Good roads bring renewed energy and
thrift TO the merchant in every market
center of the state. Farm products
will be marketed more easily through
out the year. Sales of merchandise
and collections will be distributed over
a larger neriod of time. Good roads
will mean good times to the merchant
/ Bad roads keep trade away from a
town or city.

GOOD ROADS
The Farmer

The farmer recognizes the needs OF
better roads and realizes how much OF
such roads would contribute to their
comfort and prosperity. Good roads
save dollars and cents to the farmer.
Bad roads make farming Improbable
and undesirable. Bad roads increase
the solitude Of country life and limit
the opportunities of the farmer. Good
roads bring him into closer touch with
the center of progress. Good roads en-
nance the value of farm land, beautify
the country and advance the farmer In
his social, religious and educational
development. Good roads are the ave
nues Of trade, which lessen the trans

is slogan that stares you in the face
when you ride in the cars and when
you open your newspaper, and II
ring in your ears every time you talk
to the landlord.
Are you going to build one?
You won't attempt to answer the
question, of course, until you have
sat down and figured out now much
capital you have on hand, how much
your income will be for the next
twelve months or so, and what the
building is going to cost
You will first balance your expected
income and your expected expenses
including in this all your overhead
charges You will, in fact, prepare
little budget.
II you heard of a man entering up
on a building project without
first comparing the expenses with his
expected income you would think HI
was crazy.
Yet have you ever stopped to thinl
that the government does just tina
very thing? That the national fl
nAnces are handled without the prep
aration off a budget in advance to de
termine whether projected expense
can be handled. without running int
debt or borrowing?
To be sure the government has al
ways "gotten away with it." But
has cost them more than it woul
have, had they struck balance ahea
Of time and planned where thei
money was going.
There Is no attempt, at least n
organized, systematized attempte o
the part of the government to adju'

perhaps you want to very. badly, but II
the expenses is going to exceed your
income too greatly, you Will consider
and either have a more modest dwell
ing or not build one at all for the
present.
If you already own house you do
not rush into a lot of improvements,
repapering rooms, putting in addi-
tional baths, painting the outside or
| adding new porch until you have
reckoned the expenses and where the
money is coming from.
When you have done this you will
determine what improvement you
will make this year and what you Will
defer for the future.
The same thing could be done by
1.-THE government If a national budget
system were adopted.
Don't be alarmed at the title. 1t
merely means doing the same thlng
that you do in planning repairs to
your house, or in figuring on build
ing home.
Consider the Post Office Depart
ment for instance. There are always
certain improvements desirable in
the postal system, just the same as IN
any other system. Some communities
need new post Office buildings. Others
need more employees. Others require
extensive time-saving machines. Il
we had a national budget, the Post
master General would consider al
these needs in advance, estimate thu
costs,fi cure on the total expenses o
!. the department for the past fiscal yea
and submit to the president or othe
designated officitlu statement show
ing what he required for the ensuing
@ year.
Each of the other executive depart
ments would do the same thing. Tn

against the expected income OF tn
government for the period in quest/I

he would call upon the heads of tn
departments to consult him with

IL Perhaps the postmaster generi
r. would decide that he could get alon

New Laundry Foreman Here.

w. H. Wilcox, of Jackson, Mich,
has arrived to take charge as foreman
and superintendent Of the new Madi-
son Laundry which is rapidly being
gotten under way by its hustling pro-
prietors, Messrs. Baum Mckinney and
o. C. Evans. Most of the machinery
has already been installed in the Dom
elson building at the corner of Second
and Water streets, and the delay in
getting started is caused by failure of
the boiler to be completed at the Lex
ington machine works. The building
has been remodeled and made over
into a complete and model laundry
plant, and the new enterprise seems
destined to begin business with the
brightest prospects.

This Helps Col. Oldham

II begins to look like Col. R. C. Old
ham, Of Winchester, former Madison
boy, may not have opposition for the
democratic nomination for lieutenant
governor. Col. Oldham was over for
a short time yesterday with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Oldham, and
said that he had just had a letter
from Senator T. T. Gardner, Of Bal
lard county, down in western Ken
lucky, who has been mentioned 'as
a possible candidate for the office that
Col. Oldham seeks. Senator Gardner
wrote Col. Oldham that he not only
would not be a candidate against him
but is for Col. Oldham for the Office
and win do all he can for him to help
him win the nomination and election.
This is regarded as exceptionally
good news by Col. oldham's friends,
for Senator Gardner is a wheelhorse
down in western Kentucky where the
big democratic vote comes from and
his support means a lot to whatever
candidate he happens to be for.

A FISHY ONE FROM PARIS

A special dispatch from Paris says
that Evlrett Nangle, a farmer living
near M1ersburg, Bourbon county,
rode horseback to Paris last Saturday
and cashed a check for s1s7 at local
bank. On his arrival home that after.
noon, he found he had lost the purse
containing the money. He returned
to Paris carefully scanning every foot
of the pike in an effort to find his
money, but without success. When
he went to put his horse in the stable
he noticed the continued paving Of the
animal, as though something was
hurting it, and, breaking away the
hard coating of mud, he found his
purse, with the money intact, wedked
in the horses hoof.
