In the opinion of the Burlington
HawBeye. "The higher priced land
need not necessarily decrease in price
when the price OF products Of the
farm recedes. But there will be this
result, that there will be better farm

ever before. and it will eventually be
found that the man on the high pric-
ed land will grow things to which his
land is best adapted, and then he
will make money when farmers or
very cheap land are just eking out
an existence"

CANADA's FARMER PARTY.
Farmers Going to Have Large Say
in Future Canadian Govern
ment Affairs.

1t is interesting to note the pro-
gress of the new farmers party in
Canada which was SO strong in the
recent election in ths Dominion that
it carried the province of Ontario.
The party has its adherents in all
the provinces and is getting strong.
er, II indications point right, in the
prairie provinces of the west. Thl
Canadian farmer is deeply dissatisfied
with conditions, as the American
farmer. is dissatisfied with certain
conditions over here. They have
largely lost faith in the politicians;
they believe that too much attention
is paid to the labor conditions in
the cities in comparison with the at
tention that is paid to farm matters
and they are strong for cooperative
buying and selling.
Among their demands is the re-
moval of all taxes on food and or
agricultural machinery, vehicles
fertilizers, coal, Number, cement and
the oils. One of the chief planks Of
this platform. also, is the acceptance
of the 1911 reciprocity agreement
with the United States.
A most significant fact is that the
new Canadian Liberal PARTY leader
Mackenzie King, has declared fol
these planks in the Farmers party
platform. and they were accepted b,
the recent Liberal party convention.
Evidently the farmers are going <

affairs. 8 s F.

Ames, Ia.-Are Iowans being
shocked into saner use of the pubic
highways?
In 1917, 2S1 persons lost their
lives as the result of reckless and
careless driving. In 1918 the number
dropped to 237 and in 1919 there was
further drop to 2O3.
In 1917 the accidents in which no
fatalities occurred totaled 5,100; In
1918, 3,027; and in 1919, 2,S09.

1917 totaled 5,2O6 in 1918, 3,45o
and in 1919, 2,70S.
Probably in every one of these
years there were more deaths and
more accidents than those recorded.
These figures are tabulated entirely
from reports of accidents taken from
the newspaper clippings which reach
the highway commission office. How
ever, the records as they stand are
gruesome enough. The totals for the
three years stand 721 deaths, 10,93s
accidents, and 11,364 people with
broken bones and mangled bodies.

ROAD BUILDING Is BOOMING
Steady increase In Federal Aid BusI-

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Since early In 1910 there has been
a steady increase each month in the
federal aid business In the bureau Of
public roads Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. States in all
sections Of the country are filing their
projects and receiving allotments. The
bodybuilding era is in full swing, and
1t would seem that the end is not yet.
All indications point to greater rec
ords In the months Immediately to
come.
Based on complete reports from A
Of the states cash expenditures on the
rural roads and bridges Of the United
States for the calendar year 1918
amounted to $2s6,098,1 1913. To this
should be added the value Of statute
and convict labor, which cannot be
ixed with any great degree Of &C.
curacy but probably amounted to not
less than $14,0O0. 900. thus making the
grand total expenditures for the year
s300,00O.000. This total is made up Of
the actual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision and
administration directly connected
with the construction, improvement
and upkeep Of public roads and
bridges outside the limits of incorpo-
rated towns and cities, and does not
include any item for sinking-fund pay
ments or redemption and interest or
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unprece-
denied condition in practically all
lines Of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion in the amount Of heavy
truck traffic on public roads and an
unprecedented shortage In regard to
road materials, labor and ready funds,
but also a decided increase In main
tenance work, which was, however,
partially Offset by a decrease In the
amount Of new construction.
