The Sibley Tribune says The
American working man has nothing
to gain from his foreign brethren.
The working men over there have
notions and plenty of glib talk, but
the American has better food, better
housing, better clothing and better
standing as citizen and man than
his brethren anywhere"

1t is estimated that counties
townships and special districts n
the various states have within the
past year voted as many road bonds
for local projects, not all of which
are for paved roads, of course, brt
which probably amount to anothe"
$500, 100000 of road bond money
available. Thus we have over s bill

voted within the past few months and
the movement is just begun.
California's s40.O00.00O bond is
sue was the third one attempted In
that state and carried by vote Il
seven to one. 1t is but an indicaticl
of what people will do when they
once realize the public benefit o.
paved roads and the equity of letting
people pay for them as they use
them by means of bond issues. An
other source of tax revenue for roads
in addition to the motor vehicle
license has been discovered in Cole

a small tax has been placed upon
sales of gasolene. The new money re-
