TRANSPORTATION HALTS
BUILDING PROGRAM

The United States, like every other
former beligerent, is far behind In It's
building operations, says the Guaran :
Nv Trust Co. of New York. Although
the supply of basic raw materials IN
this country is sufficient to support
the most ambitious building program
bere the high cost of both labor and
materials and the inadequacy OF
+,-ansrortation facilities prevent the
use of a large part of these materials.
This condition is the most serious rae
tor in retarding the work of meeting
tho acute demand for homes and IN
d,strial structures throughout the
country.
In the absence of complete statistics
~ building for the entire country. the
figures reported by the United states
geological survey for about $50 cities
in ALI sections of the country may be
regarded as fairly representative data.
Tts statistics do not include construc-
ton for military purposes, for which
no permit was required: Such con-
struction can only in part serve nom
military purposes.
Since the geological survey statis-
tics do not show the number of new
houses. but only the value of the
permits. it is proper to make allow
ance for changes in prices in esti-
mating the accumulated shortage of
housing as is evidenced by the per-
mits.

c. ]. Massick of Topeka, Kans.,
spoke in Odd Fellows Hall Tuesday
evening, in the interest of Gen. Leon
ard Wood az candidate for president.
Mr.. Massick is a good speaker and
presented the merits of Mr.. Woods
candidacy in d very convincing man
ner, and with equal force presented
some of the defects in the business
management of the governmental
affairs under our present executive.
He contendad that our government at
present needs a man at its bead who
is familiar with military affairs in
order to reorgan.ze our army along
American lines. but who is not a mil
itarist. This merit he claimed for
Gen. Wood, whose service in the
army has been that of a volunteer.
Not being a graduate from West
Point he is not in sympathy with mil
;:a1;;sttio ideas taught III that school,
and therefore has the opposition of
the officers trained in that school.

kota have no occasion to grow anx-
ious over the outcome of the presi.
Dental primary. The choice seems
to lie between Gov. Lowden of ILL

both have the qualifications for a
good president. Gov. Lowden dem
onstrated his patriotism during the
war and made an excellent war gov.
ernor. He is also successful BUSH
ness man, and has given his state
good business administration Gen
Wood has not only demonstrated his
good judgment as military leader
but in handling civil affairs in Cuba
and in the Philippines has shown that
he possesses superior executive abiI-
ity along civil lines. There is room
for individual preference on the part
of the voters. but every republican
can heartily support the winner,
whichever one is successful at the

The postoffice department recently
sent out 200. 600 questionaires to far
mers regarding prospects for future
production of farm products. Forty
thousand replies were received, and
fully half of them indicated that the
writer's contemplated either leaving
their farms. or curtailing the acre.
age. During the war the farmera
were urged, as patriotic duty, to
increase production and they respond
ed nobly. Now that the war is over
the appeal to patriotism has lost its
force and economic conditions will
govern their actp. Now they claim
that everybody is trying to smash the
farmer. The high price and scarcity
Of labor due to the short hours and
high prices paid Fin the cities has
caused the laboring men to flock to
the cities and forced the farmers to
do their own work. The tendency to
reduce the price Of the farmers pro-
duct while increasing the prices of
what he has to buys also very natur-
ally resented by the farmers, and
they can see no justice in demanding
sixteen hours of work in day, in
vest fortunes in his business and run
all risk of loss while the Iaboring
man in the cities is required to work
only six or eight houle, is required to
invest nothing, and is guaranteed a
salary greater than the farmers pro.
fit. Many Of them will therefore
crop only such acreage as they can
comfortably tend themselves. This
is unfortunate at this time when big
production is desired, but the farmer
can not be blamed for refusing to be
the goat.
