COUNTRY NEEDS MORE ROADS
Improved Highways influence Every
Branch Of Economic and Financial
Structure.

There is no doubt about it, the coun-
try needs more good roads. It has be-
come an economic necessity that our
roads be improved because good roads
influence every branch and twig of the
social. economic and financial struc-
ture of the nation.
Good roads decrease the cost of liv-
ing-bad roads increase it. Good
roads save labor-poor roads spend it.
A community with good roads has an
unlimited trade area, while a COM
munity with poor roads has limited
trade area.

ITALIAN PEOPLE CHEERFUL.
Government Encouraged by Will
ing Acceptance of Burdens.

The Italian government has been
greatly encouraged by the willing
ness of the people to assume the bur
den of added taxation. in order. to
meet the heavy. charges of the war.
A statement issued to the public by
the minister of finance, Carlo Schan-
ger. fully reflects the confident spirit
with which the new government is
looking to the future.
The statement, as given publicity
by the Italian embassy is as follows:
1.-The recent financial measures taken
in the kingdom are a clear proof of
the seriousness of purpose of the
government in dealing with the finan-
cial situation. The calm with which
the Italian people have received the
announcement of the new taxation is
an evidence of their good will.
IT desire to emphasize that an i'm
personal study of our finances can
not but lead to an optimistic concep-
ton regarding the future, especially
if the countries who were at our
side during the war will continue to
be at our side. where it is to their in
terest during the great work of re-
construction"

PLANS FOR FARM CENSUS.
Enumerators Will Seek to Classify
Rural Properties,

Several distinct classes of farm in
formation will be asked for by emu
merators for the fourteenth decennial
census, the taking of which will be-
gin January 2, 1920, according to an
nouncement today by Robert E. Mat
tingly, director of the census for the
District of Columbia.
This farm census information will
not greatly affect the District. as there
are only 800 farms within the boun-
daries, but enumerators in rural dis
trictS will have confronting them a
task requiring much detailed informa-
ton. An inventory of farm property
as Of January 1, 1920. and a statement
of production in 1919 will be among
thu items asked for.
A market garden. greenhouse, dairy
or poultry establishment within q city
or village limits is to be counted as a
farm if its products in 1919 were
worth $3.50 or more, or if it required
the full time of one person. Rent paid
must be reported for all tenant farms
and the values reported for farm
property should represent fair SELL
ing price. Buildings and equipme mt
for the manufacture of butter, cheese,
dried fruit, cider, etc. should be con-
sidered a part of farm equipment
when they are operated as a part of
farm business, but not when operated
as Independent enterprises.
