 With the workers of America rests the right of deciding for which candi- date they shall vote. As they vote whether it be well or wisely. or with disregard for the facts of life as they are-they will determine to a large de- gree the welfare and progress of the working people of our republic in the years just ahead.'
 THE HARDING VOTES
 The points against Senator Harding made by the statement of labor include his three votes to strike from appro- priation bills, to which it had been at tached as rider" the' Tavenner amendment prohibiting the use of the stop-watch and bonus systems; and his vote for the Gallinger amendment to nullify the Tavenner amendment: his vote against an appropriation for the employIpe ent bureau of the labor de- partment; his vote for the Borland amendment increasing the hours of government employees; his vote for the Pomerene substitute for the retire ment bill; his vote to strike the labor charter from the League of Nations his vote against extending federal con trol of railroads for two years; his vote for the Cummings railroad bill making strikes unlawful. and his sun- favorable pair on the acceptance of the conference report on the railroad bill.

VI : ' l9 sf- ' I4 I4- V n l1II " Il F ROAD EXPERIMENTS

"In his recommends tion that we get more familiar with road work before we tie up too much money in construction Governor Pickett has given North Caro- lima something to think about. We are building lot of road and spending a lot of money now, and nobody is very sure about whether the roads now under construction and built are good invest ments. road has two points of att tack, and they are both tremendously de- structive and both persistent. The one is the traffic that is steadily pounding at the surface of the road, and the other is weather conditions that are equally persistent in destroying the structure of the road from beneath. Water is a road wrecker. Softening the earth that lies
 beneath the road invites destruction of the under structure. That is followed by breaks in the surface. Therefore we are compelled to build a road substantial at the bottom, and substantial at the top. Nothing has been found yet that makes cheap foundation at moderate cost and nothing that makes a durable top d small cost The northern states have come to the place where they are paying $50,O00 a mile and more
 for good roads and they are not doing 1t
 because they have money to waste but
 because they have gone far enough i'll
 road building to realize that it. takes
 money to build roads that will endure.
 But to build a road is only the first
 step. That road must be maintained after
 it is built, and any road that was ever
 made has been subject to this expense.
 It may seem like a broad statement but
 it is doubtful If a mile of road has been
 built vet in North Carolina that is not
 going to give rise to more or less dis
 appointment in the results it's gives as compared with the costs. Right now the builders see that the increase in traffic is making demands on the roads hardly anticipated when the work was con- have good road material in the state, The trap rocks. granites. auartzes and quartz gravels are among the best stuff in the world of which tc make roads if they are properly cemented and laid on sufficient foundation properly prepared. But there is a string of ifs and costly ones How much money we can provide and how far we can go with | the amount is a factor that faces us ir mighty cold -blooded style. Twenty miles ! of $50, 600 a mile road means a million dollars. and that is no mileage at all foi i this state with our limited millions Sc | we have to compromise somewhere ane | there the trouble begins. And there i: the problem It will stand a lot of study
 The Hifhway commission is giving il | study, and we can be patient with the commission as it works it's way carefully 1 along"

these they must langish."
