GOOD ROADS

The country is entering period of
road-Duildlng. Projects which were
planned during the war are being put
into effect. The Federal Government
has made large appropriations, to be
spent conformity with appropriations
by the various states. Good roads
have become watchword Of postwar
progress.
There is occasion for reflection in
the fact that the greatest of ancient
empires was conspicuous for its road
building. The Roman roads were the
railways and telegraph of an age that
did not know steam and electricity
They were the pathways of the i'm
pcrial couricrs and the imperial leg
ions. These roads were the girders
that held the empire together 1t is

mans for their practical sagacity, now

EXPENSES EXCEED
TOTAL REVENUE
Government Runs Behind 5000, ,OOO, 900
in Few Months
CUTS MUST BE MADE
Chairman Mondell Says Treasury Of
ficials Handle Trying Situation
Well.

Washington, April 4.-Government
| expenditures have exceeded the rev.
| enues from all sources by more than
$500, 100000 during the first nine
months of this fiscal year, and the
reductions of $706,ooO,O0O in the float
ing debt last month is only "tempor-
ary' condition, Representative Mondell
Wyoming, Republican leader, declar-
ed today in statement. Economy
alone, he said, could avert "calamt-
Gus crisis" Immediately upon the
temporary reduction in the floating
debt, MI. Mondell declared the treas
ury was in the market for. further
loans and this month must dispose of
a further large volume of temporary
| certificates.
Government financing by short term
notes, he added, is such as may bring
a tremendous increase the very next
day week or month"; after an appar-
| cit reduction for comparative pc
riod.
Citing the $2,50O,O 900 war deficit
as not covered by bonds or provided
for by current revenues the Republ;
can leader said that such sum to be
carried by short term notes was ga
serious menace at any time and par
ticularly when the country was trying
to recover from the war.
THE increasing gravity Of the diff
culties arising out of this enormous
volume of Indebtedness that must be
renewed from time to time," said Mr..
Mnndell, "is indicated by the fact
htat while all of these certificates that
wero offered sold readily in the spring
and summer of 1917 bearing an inter-
est rate of 3 per cent, less than
$500, 100000 of recent treasury of
fering of certificates at 1-2 per cent.
were sold and the treasury
will be in the market in the
very near future for loans on short
time certificates at a 3-4 per cent,
with the probabilities that the
| rate will have to be still further
advanced and may go to six per cent,
or twice the interest rate of three
years ago"
Treasury officials the statement con-
tinued, have handled trying situa-
ton most admirably but they "can-
not avert disaster unless we keep pub
lie expenditures within our income"
An actual reduction of public debt,
Mr.. Mondell added is ncceccasry dur
| ing the next fiscal year, beginning.
July l, "to sustain national credit"
Congress, Mr.. Mondell predicted,
would grant appropriations for the
next year Of $l,250,0OO,OOO less than
estimated by government departments
which asked for approximately $4,000
O00,0 900 for all purposes.
"Further bond issues" concluded the
statement, "could only be floated at
greatly increased interest rates, at
the cost of a considerable reduction
IN the market value Of outstanding
government securities with the grave
danger Of wrccking the specific basis
OF our currency, with the certainty of
increasing the price Of commodities
and further enha ,cing the cost Of liv-
ing. Under these conditions a further
bond issue is unthinkablc."
