Annie in a quiet tone as he kept

Let the Material Man Beware!
From the Chicago Tribune.

Let not the sellers of materials for Illinois good roads problem
0elude themselves; the SG0OO0OOe is for decent highways, not for
profitecrs.
We are beginning to hear covetous suggestions that, "because of
the war; materials are going to be high and thus our %60O0O00O
may not go as far as we intended. Who is spreading this inGdious
gospel of sleek profit?
More than so per cent of the materials that go into road building
is stone. Who is furnishing the brilliant afterthought that stone is
going up? How does the war affect stone that has lain in the quar-
cMs of Illinois since the azoicg
Illinois has always had free stone. 1t can be furnished aboard
ears at something more than 81 a yard; and there is no waste, be-
cause the farmers are eager for the dust byproduct for their fields.
Abolish the idea, right now. that the purchase of stone is going to
eat into the peoples $500 100000.
The cement makers-are they interested? And do w e suddenly
perceive that cement has gone out of sight? Who, in the presence of
S6OOO0O00. is sending it out Of sight?
Those who hope to profit above a just degree must be reminded
that the state of Illinois is not totally incapable of maintaining a
cement plant. however ill advised such a project may be, in considera-
ton of future operation. For the purposes of the present program
the state can make cement just as we'll as private manufacturers.
1t was inevitable that $6OO0OO00 would set some mercenary
chaps a-drooling. But they had better turn away. The pckings
are not good. The people We're promised q road system honestly
built. 1t is the business of the state administration to see to this
honesty. Governor Lowden already has warned the material men.
The subject is not going to be dropped.

Thes last observations mean that it
takes Il good deal of starving to "runt"

be permanent unless the starvation is

unless it is severe and, finally, unless
