expected 70 apply for the work did
not, however, materialize. On the
contrary, there was distinct shortage
Of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $1.5O to $3
per day, but the corresponding wages
In 1920 were from So to IS for short

In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity, Of COM

monty used in road work increased In
price between 1917 and 1920 from so
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases In cost were rejected In the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
Will Increase Growing Popularity Of
Automobiles and Help Build ii.
Up Communities. -.-.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in a
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an investiga-
ton among $50 Owners In middle
western city Of around 100000 popu-
lation resulted in an average Of ~
miles. Sxty-two per cent stated they
would make longer trips II the roads
permitted, IS per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country. ... 49, -.
From these figures It is easy to
see that more good roads will In
crease the growing popularity Of the
automobile. which will in turn help
to build up communities, relieving
congestion in the crowded cities, cree
ate q wider circulation Of money, in
crease realty values, lower transpor'
tation costs and introduce America

bald before amounting to anything Is
the lot Of millions. Among those mil

Every kind of road cost about twice
as much to build In 1920 as it did in
1917, according to the chief Of the
bureau Of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, and high
way construction suffered more than
any other class Of work through rail-
road congestion, strikes, labor trou-

After the war there was q great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam

The legislature will make mis-
take to postpone the payment Of tax
es, in our opinion. The tax limit is
now practically the first of March
with only very small penalty and
most Of the big taxpayers have paid
and many of the smaller ones do not
object to paying the small penalty in
order TO have the extension now pro-
yided by law. And besides that, most
an sof the counties are borrowing
money and the relieving those. who
have not paid the small penalty only
makes those who have paid pay the
iriterest On The money borrowed, OF
lose the interest ON their money, be-
cause they have as much right to the
extension, if not a little more, than
those who have not paid, and we pc.
long to the class who have not paid.
It is not a square deal to relieve de-
Enquenss Of tns small penalty which
has been put on By existing law.
