AMERICAN SHOES LESS
IN EUROPE THAN HERE
BY Ralph T.. Couch


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 1O.-American
made shoes now are being sold for
export at prices ranging from 81 to
80 per cent below those charged with
in the United States government 70
ports showed today.
Commerce department reports show
that more than 100000 pairs of
American made shoes now are being
shipped abroad monthly.
Average prices for these export
shoes in January were: mems. per
pair, $4.65; women's, $3.77, and
children's, $1.91. These prices are
wholesale quotations declared by the
shippers in customs papers.
Average wholesale prices in Amer
lea in December, the month previous,
were: mems, 1926, per pair; wo-
mems $685. per pair; children's, no
average quotation available. These
quotations were obtained by the lab
or department.
Differences between the two sets
of average wholesale quotations in
favor of the foreign buyer were:
mems shoes, $3.50 per pair, or 90 per
cent; women's shoes, $3.O8 per pair
or 81 per cent.
Wholesale prices in America now
range from so to 100 per cent below
retail prices, reports indicate.
American shoe manufacturers ex-
plain the difference in wholesale
prices for export and inside OF Am
erica by saying shoes sold for export
are of a quality inferior to those con
sumed in the D. 8.
This is beside the point, according
to government officials. The vital
thing, they point out, is that foreign
buyers now fill their complete needs
at Wholesale prices ranging below IS
per pair. The full need Of American
buyers can only be satisfied at price
nearly double this, it is explained.
Other comparisons of report obtain:
ed by the Commerce and Labor de-
partments show that since 1914 the
differences in price at which foreign
buyers and American buyers have
been able to satisfy their needs has
been constantly increasing. The fol-
lowing table shows the per cent of in
crease in average wholesale shoe
prices in America over prices paid by
foreign buyers.

AS TO ROADS.

AS ~ NOAOS.
Every one is in favor OF better
roads. Every one will admit that the
roads in this county are in need o.
Improvement. No use to waste time
endeavoring to prove to the people
the Importance and necessity OF bet
ter roads. or to tell them that the
people all around US are talking
about our roads and that almost any
county in which you may travel you
will find better roads.
The question is how are we to get
better roads in Newberry county. 1t
takes money to build them. The peo-
ple are ready and willing to put ur
the money if they can be convinced
that the money will bring the roads
And they are not so near sighted O.
so selfish as to expect the good roac
work to start at their door or IN front
Of their place. They would lie tc
know that the money is going to be
spent wisely and that the road IS 60
ing to be built and that it IS gong te
he maintained after it is built. In
fact that is really the big question
now when we come to talk about road
building. IS there any provision TO-
the maintenance of the road afterNt
is built.
Under a recent act of the leglsla
ture there was provided a system o.
county highways and when that sys'
tenn is laid out by the state highway
commission provided in the same act
and the roads are put in proper con-
dition by the various counties, ther
thew are to be taken over by the
commission and maintained. A fund
by the levy of a two mills tax ano
the automobile license tax was pro
yided for maintenance and this tax
will be collected whether we join the
system or not, and if we do not then
there will be missing link IN the
connection of the various counties
nnder this state system. It is estl-
mated. we understand, that it will
take about one-half Of the proposed
bond issue to make the connection o.
the roads already selected by the
commission, but when that is dons
there will be no more expense on the
part of the county for maintenance
and then the remainder of the bone
money could be utilized on other
roads.
. If Newberry should stand aloof and
not make provision to connect ur
with this system provided by the
state then the only thing would be
for the commission to go around uS
and connect with Union through
Fairfield and with Greenwood through
Saluda and Laurens from Green
wood. We do not believe that the
people of 'Newberry desire to- see
anything like that take place, and il
would be economy to spend the entire
amount proposed by the bond issue
in making these connections and TAX
ing step with the other progressive
counties of the state. But the issue
is presented to the people for their
determination. If we wait to make 8
start at good road building uni we
get fund to provide the roads for
the entire county at one time we Will
never start.
We have a reputation far and near
for the bad roads in this county.
They can never be made better until
the people provide the means for the
building of them. This is an oppor-
tunity to build and to have the main
tenance guaranteed.
