 The fifty articles included in the commercial ban represent less than one Der cent. of the total exports of the United States during the years imm ediately preceding the war and about one-half of one per cent of England's imports for the same perlod, according to the statistical ex- perts of the National City Bank of New York;
 The statement of the bank dis proves the claim. that an assault on a large scale was made on American
 factorles, saying that
 many of the fifty articles named in the prohibited list are of such small importance that neither of the GOVernm ents in question mentions them in it's official list of exports to the various coun- trles of the world or imports from the various countries of the world, lnclu ling whatever small values there nay be in the unin- formative grouping "all 0ther' countries or articles

Line Roads. adgeport Post. )

s1t has a fine system of
 Highways. No state in the
 s so large a proportion or
 zrface roads. Of course We are
 nf Territory, but even in propOr-
 #Gonnecticut, as usual, leads all
 Hest, because it has more roads for
 size than almost any other state. 8er Instance. New York is ten times
 large as Connecticut in area but Ht has only five times more road sYflileaage.
 If we take state like Texas, which would make nearly fifty COnnectcuts, we find that it has but eight times more mileage and three times more surfaced roads.
 Commissioner Bennett prepared some years ago a comprehensive plan for trunk line highways. About 1,500 miles of these main lines have been completed. Nearly 700 miles remain to be done and the estimated cost for the work is at the rate of about $30, ,00O a mile, which would make the most to date worth $45, 0OO,OO0, with that to come about $21, 100000.
 Of course this entire expense for the highways will not be carried on in the next two years. But it is pro posed to spend about $7,000,0 900 in the next two years of which $2.300,0 900 will be provided in fees.
 We have before called attention to the value e jne highway system. It represents money well spent. As the years go by the system will prove of the greater benefit. Farmers will be able to ignore the railroads and move , their produce to the distributing mar kets with the aid of motor vehicles When it is recognized that such move ment will save at least two shiftings from the vehicle to the car and from the car to the place of destination, it is not hard to recognize the immense advantage which is coming when there has been full appreciation of the possibilities of the motor vehicle.
 There can be no better investment for the state than these highway i'm prOVementS. If in time this is sup plemented with work on the miles of connecting rOads-the total road mileage for the state is about 5,000- it can readily be perceived that the motor vehicle is to have an immense field for operation in Connecticut.
