A MoMENTUoUs DECISION

No more weighty matter was
ever before body of men for de-
cision than that which confronted
the officials of the United Mine
Workers. Boiled down, the issue
was whether four hundred thou
sand men should obey the laws
of the United States or defy the
government. To openly refuse
obdience to law meant nothing
more or less than an attempt at
revolution
The fact that there should have
been any doubt as to what course
the union officials would pursue
is really an astounding thing IN a
country which is devoted to lib
erty under the forms Of law. "
There could not have been any
hesitancy if among the men con-
ccrned there had not been an eIe-
ment which is saturated with re-
volutionary IDEAS and which is
ready to engage in the mad en-
terprise Of attempting to over
throw the government The saw
ing feature Of the situation was
that this class was in the minor

HOW GOOD ROADS SAVE
MONEY.

A few days ago we quoted il
this column from an article by
NJ. O. Elledge, expert of the [
S. office Of public roads, showing
the money advantages of gooc
roads. Here are some additiona
figures from the same source:
On a muddy earth road the
amount varies from nothing to I
maximum of 800 pounds; on Il
smooth, dry, earth road from 1000
to 2000 pounds; ON gravel roda
in bad condition. from 1000 to
1900 pounds; ON a gravel road il
good condition, about 330C
pounds; on a macadam road.
from 2000 to 5000 pounds; on a
brick or concrete road, from 5000
to 5000 pounds.
These figures show that if the
speed of travel is the same on all
these road surfaces a horse will
haul ON a good maeadam road
rom three to five times. as many
-ons a mile in . day rs upon a
moderately muddy earth read.
This matter may be considered in
mother way by admitting that
)ne horse is capable of a certain
liked duty each day. Then, with
4 given load, the effective radius
If travel from a given point ON a
road is from three to
i've times the radius of travel
rom that point on a moderately
muddy earth road.
To illustrate this point; A study
If hauling costs was made in
franklin county, N. Y, during
.911, 1912 and 1913. During this
period the main market roads Of
he county were improved. The
Iverage haul Of farmers and
lairymen was 5,73 miles; the av-

$400 a day; the number Of trips
a day was 1872 and 263, respec-
lively, before and after improve
ment The average load on the
old roads was 1892 pounds, and
on tn new roads 5,557 pounds for
a two-horse team.
Using the above figures as =
basis, the total gross saving was
estimated at $150.372.
From 1910 to 1914 inclusive,
the office Of public roads made
similar traffic studies in seven
counties in the southern states.
Taking these eight counties
the aggregate, the gross annual
(Franklin county included) in
