ILLINOIS PLANS
TO BUILD 5000
MILES Of ROADS
Motor and Truck Owners Are
to Contribute $4,000
That will Be Necessary To-
ward Building of Highways.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug, 1S.-llinois
this month launched the most stupen-
dous program OF road building in the
history OF the world. II comprises b.OOO
miles OF a vast trunk tne system, con.
meeting all OF the important cities, and
the cost will be $50, O0O, 600. Not a cent
OF it will be borne by public taxation,
The tin license tags at the front and
rear of every motor vehicle tell the
story OF the financing, There are now
500, 900 automobiles and trucks IN lnl-
nois. The license fees : will produce
about 81, 900, 900 per annum. In 70 years
IL will be sufficient TO pay OH the prlh-
cipal and interest Of the bond issue OF
$50, coo. 600 which guarantees the pay
ment for construction.
The Illinois plan, first suggested n
wear aS and which was approved by
the voters at the polls Nov. , last, a
majority Of 500, 000 being given the
proposition, has attracted nationwide
attention and similar movements nave
already been launched In Arkansas,
Missouri, Georgia and other states, win
likelihood Of favorable action.
In years gone by Illinois expended
about $1,000, 900 per aunuln Tor roan
Improvement through tho medium OF
4.S00 township highway commissioners.
Most Of the work performed n year
had TO be done over again the succeed
ing. as ii was purely temporary IN
character. The same old mud holes
received these millions and the public
waste became the subject of a cam.
paign Of reform launched by the good
roads and motor vehicle associations.
THE advent Of the automobile brought
a new understanding Of highway PROB
lens. II was realized that the CITY
driving his car for pleasure or on
business through a rural community,
should be made to pay q part OF the
expense Of maintaining the roads ira
vorsed. Il was argued that II was un-
fair to saddle all OF the expense upon
the townships,

NATIONAL THRIFT
CAMPAIGN URGED


NEW YORK, Aug. lS.-That the
United States government insugurate
at once an Intensive Thrift campaign,
such as was conducted during the war,
Ia order that production may be in
creased, Is urged in a statement is
sued by S. w, Straus. president Of the
American Society for Thrift, FWho says:
The great lesson for all Americans
to learn today Is that IL Is Just as patri-
otto TO be thrifty In peace-times as Il
was in war-times, ornamental needs
call for a renaissance OF patriotic
Increased and the DEPLETED supplies Of
wealth replenished, and II our govern
ment will inaugurate an intensive edu-
cational campaign against all forms OF
waste II will find the people ready to
respond with the most loyal patriotism.
"A marked reaction from our popular
wartime thrift practices has deVel-
oped. The majority OF the people are
earning higher salaries now than ever
before, and they are spending and vast
ing accordingly. This waste includes
both material u and time with
the result that production. which now
should be increased to the utmost, is
tagging and the visible wealth of the
country is not being ~replenlshed with
sufficient rapidity.
"A few years ago wheat sold at 81
a bushel, or even less. and other COM
modities were proportionately low
There was at that time an over-supply
of commodities In relation to the sup
ply Of money. Today the reverse is
true and we have an over-supply OF
money In relation to the supply OF com,
modities. Legal tender In 1918 was
lS0,3Nper cert Of the amount Of money
on hand in 1914, and the gold In this
country was 1871 per cent of the
amount on hand five years ago. sta
tistics reveal that the increase Of cur
world during the last four wears wa
greater than that which occurred dur
ingt the entire eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries.
What Is necessary 10 restore the
economic balance is to build up our
depicted supplies Of material wealth and
capital through the elimination OF
waste of all kinds. "
