Road Building

[SHE LATEST information
~ compiled by the division of
public works and construction de-
veiopments of the department of
labor shows that IL states are en-
deavoring: to increase their APP
preparations for road building,
Minnesota leading with 100 mil
lion dollars, followed by Texas
win rs million, Illinois, Kansas
and Missouri with 60 million each.
The state of Washington comes
twelfth on the list with it's APP
preparation of 80 million.
Road building authorities are
predicting 1919, 1920, and 1921
will prove the greatest in the
eountry's history in the matter
Of road construction. Federal
funds to the amount of $780,
100000 will have been made
available for state road projects
| fy the end Of the fiscal year of
1921. 1t Is admitted in the de-
partment of labor that present
construction costs are much
higher than prewar levels, but
most authorities agree that pre-
war prices in this field will not
be rsestablished. The condition
of our currency and the generally
higher price levels turnout the
world. these authorities assert,
will not permit a return to pre-
war prices, and for these reasons
present construction prices are
not as abnormal as the popular
mind is prone to believe them.
Considering road building from
a preparedness angle, it was de-
]cided in the recent conference
of governors and mayors at
Washington, that there is a ne
cessity for a more liberal road
building policy turnout the coun-
try; also it was believed advis-
able to further this program at

surplus, which will result if no
conscious effort is made to re-

the department. of labor asserts,
regardless of present construc-
ton prices, it is paying invest
ment for states to at once get
road work and construction of
public improvements under way.
The dividend and benefit of this
policy will appear in the early
improvement of general business
conditions and the ready ABSORB

T is TO BE HOPED that
the Commercial club be-
came innoculated with the get
busy germ at the banquet Tues
day evening. Enthusiasm is
about the most contagious thing
in the world and it may be that.
in an effort to give a forward
movement to the Kennewick Dis
trict Irrigation project and the
Church Mfg. Co., the club will
slide off its, statuesque pedestal
and take on some forward motion
in it's own right.
AS was pointed out by Mr..
Moulton the excuse, there's
nothing to do is no longer a
valid excuse for the clubs doing
nothing. There is something to
do. And that something is so
worth while that if the club does
it every man in the community
should become working part OF
the organization.

It's Our Turn Now

* HE 10th Field Artillery,
in which are enlisted many
kennewick and Benton county
boys, sent six and a half million
dollars worth of ammunition
over to Fritz and were still on
the job ready to send over few
million dollars worth more when
the armistice was signed. We
are pretty proud Of that record.
Out boys did their duty splendid
ly and well.
But how about ourselves? It
was the duty Of the fighting fell
lows Of the 146th to drop big
shells on the Boche. They made
good. They dropped them and
they didn't quit until the job
was finished. Our duty was and
is to pay for those shells and
they haven't been paid for. Our
job has not been finished.
A few months ago, before the
armistice was signed, we were
"rarin' to go" or rather rarin' to
have our fighting men go and
pledging our all to back them up.
Relying upon that pledge they
went. Now then, it's our time
to go by paying for those shells
that put the huns out of busin-
ness. Are we going to repudiate
that pledge? Are we going to
sneak out of our duty, or are we
going to make good? Our ans
wer is to be given to the solicit
ors for the Fifth Liberty Loan.

ALBERTA FARMERS

CARDS Agricultural Out
look as Excellent.
Special Desputch TO THs srN.

CALGARY, March 17.-For a month the
weather In Alberta has been favorable to
agriculture. live stock and business con-
ditions. Shows have been frequent and
there IL more moisture In this form I'm
sight than for many years. Farmers
are encouraged by prospects, and the
only drawback to the situation, as they
regard It, Is the uncertainty as to grain
prices. This uncertainty is reflected In
business conditions, which are good at
the present time.
There Is a brisk movement OF season
able commodities, collections are better
and failures fewer than during any cor
responding period for the last six years.
but Western wholesale houses and retail
merchants are buying very carefully, for
they do not know what turn the market
will take, and are guarding against over
loading. This condition IL fairly salts
factory for the West. but not agreeable
to Eastern supply houses.
Mild winter is responsible for carrying
over the tremendous stock of woollen
boots and heavy clothing, but II Is be-
lleved that prices for these goods will
be even higher next fall, and holders
are not worried.
The Alberta agricultural outlook Is
regarded by G. Rice-Jones of Calgary,
first vice-president and general manager
OF the United Grain Growers, the great
est farmers commercial organization in
the world, as excellent. He considers
that SHOWS will furnish a good germi-
nation bed, since the ground Is frozen.
and, pulverlzed, this moisture will go
deep.
f. S. McRoy, manager Of the Eastern
division OF the same concern, with head
quarters here, made the following state
nent:
at is rather an early date to fore
cast the situation as it may exist In
Alberta In connection with agricul-
tural work, but from reports re-
ceived from all parts of Alberta It
would appear that people as a whole
are more optimistic than they were
before the rain and snow falls. Sew
eral parts Of Alberta that were badly
in need Of moisture had good rain. and
practically all of Alberta received its
share of snow when 1t arrived In Feb
ruary and more recently. Conditions
may yet be generally improved by
an early rainfall prior Ito the time
for seeding operations, but as a whole
there il no cause for alarm in AL
berta."

The proportion OF banking Offices TO
population IN Canada IL one to each
$500. against one to each 5000 in the
United Kingdom. Commenting upon the
prospect OF further bank aualgamation
in Canada A. b. Barker in the Monetary
Times says in part:
There has been little real opposition
10 the recently announced amalgamation
of the Bank OF Ottawa with the Bank OF
Nova Scotia, except in the Ottawa die
trict. and that mostly on sentimental
grounds over the disappearance Of the
name OF an institution which has been so
intimately connected with the industrial
life of thGt section for over two genera
tiors. The long and honorable record
OF the Bank Of Ottawa justly entities il
TO the position It holds in the district
from which il takes its name. and II is
easy to understand local resentment at
the change. even though there be mate
rial advantages in the scheme 10 both
shareholders and clients. What other
criticism there has been appears to be
based on hostility to amalgamation in
general, rather than TO any specific rea-
son.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-18

In Canada as elsewhere the general
opinion is that the problems of recon-
struction will necessitate more thor
oughly organized and larger units than
ever before. and that these in turn will
require the assistance Of financial insti-
tutions organized along similar lines.
Finance. It is held, merely follows the
movement toward greater concentration
in industry. The danger mark Is the
elimination OF all competition. but the
leaders in Canada assert that bank
amalgamation can go a long way before
this point of danger is approached.

out the fact that In the history OF
