Improvement. making a total of
s63,000,000 for the expenditure of
which the Department is directly
responsible. In addition to this the
State Highway Department will
have the supervision, under the
terms of the bond issues, in the var
ious counties. of about 20 millions
of dollars Of additional construction,
and will also have the expenditure
OF about $3,000,000 contributed by
the counties and townships for
State-aid work. This makes a total
of fully sS5,OO0,00O which will be
expended by the State Highway
Department during the next two
years. Instead. therefore, of s10,-
100000 being used for construction,
the Department will have to handle
an expenditure of SS5,000,000 for
new road work. The appropriation
for overhead provides for all of
this, and also for the various ac-
tivities of the State Highway De-
partment in the handling of auto
mobile licenses, the management of
the township road bureaus, the en-
gineering, contracting and account
ing departments, the care of the
machinery and equipment, etc.
instead of 81 cents out of every dol
lar being used in overhead expenses,
but little over cents out of every
dollar will be thus expended This
is not a high figure even for the
supervision of ordinary business,
and anyone who knows anything at
all about the subject knows that the
care and attention to public con-
struction. the preparation of plans
and specifications for road building,
and the management of a public
department require skill, energy and
efficiency of a high degree. The
State Highway Commission informs
me that in no case will the over
head for all purposes exceed five
per cent of the amount actually
expended upon the highways.
"The Legislative Committee of the
State Grange, in fairness to the
membership of the Patrons of
Husbandry throughout the State,
ought to disclaim this ridiculous
and injurious statement. For afear
that it will not do so, 1 regard it
as my duty to place the real facts
before the public"

Prosperity Is Assured
in the Wheat Belt

New York, July 22.-The striking
factor in the business outlook is the
assured prosperity of the wheat belt,
resulting from a bumper crop and
the Government guarantee of 1925
per bushel; part of which comes
out of the taxpayers pocket, and
is therefore a shifting rather than
production of wealth, says Brad
streets report. The outlook for
other crops is fair as to yield; the
chief disappointment being cotton,
which will be much below the norm
al, or about 100000 bales.
High prices, however, will more
than offset dimished output. so the
prospects of unusual agricultural
prosperity are undimmed. The
wheat crop is roughly valued at
over s2,500,0 200, and the entire
harvest at over 100000, 1000, 900.

Right now, there is plenty of these meats for
