DISCUSSES TARIFF LEGISLATION
MondelI Outlines Probable Program
and Policy of New Congress.

Washlngton.-After conference
with President Harding, Representa-
tive Mondell, house Republican leader,
in outlining the probable program and
policy of the new congress, declared
revenue revision legislation should be
considered ahead of any temporary or
stop-gap tariff. He held that the en-
actment of a temporary tariff law
would require as much time as would
be necessary for a permanent tariff.
If the country demands relief and
an emergency law, he suggested that
this be confined to a simple anti
dumping provision and possibly an
amendment to the present law, basing
rates on American rather than foreign
values.

better adapted to agriculture have fallen

The New England farmer has one great
advantage in the nearness of his markets
and the large urban populations con-

not raise everything, nor does he try but

his ancestors gave up as failures Because
of better understanding of soils and cli-
mate and the law of supply and demand
he will specialize in things which they
Sighted or overlooked entirely.
1t is this policy which brought the
Maine county up to the top, and which
is bringing many an abandoned farm in
the East and Middle West back to pro-
ductivity. The West is still considered
the region of richest opportunity; but
Older sections are learning that natural
resources themselves are less important

TRUCKS AND TRAINS.

Good roads propaganda is always well
received, despite the increased taxes
which follow. The farmers accept it be-
cause highway improvement simpliies
their marketing problem and renders their
property more accessible. City folk are
friendly, for it tends to make their Sun
day drives more enjoyable. Shippers are
in accord, for shipping by truck has
many and obvious advantages.
But figures recently collated in Iowa
indicate that, in the course of a single
year, 4S9 public service trucks produced
6, 440, 210 ton-miles of transportation. AL
lowing but one man to the truck, for load
ing, driving, repairing, soliciting business
and collecting bills, this means 1910
tOnmiles to the man for the year. In
1918, which may be taken for an average
year, the nations railroads produced
22O,50O ton-miles and 23,7OO passenger
miles of transportation to the man, count
ing everyone connected with them from
section hand to president.
What does it mean?
Everywhere we hear how the motor
truck helps to solve the nations trans
portation problem, yet the railroads are
suffering for lack of business. Have we
forgotten how large share of the cost
of truck transportation falls upon the
tax payer?
There is not highway In the United
States today that will stand up under
truck traffic. No one has yet discovered
how to build one that will, and, even did
we know, the cost would probably be pro-
hibitive at present. We do know that
roads which cost $4,000 a mile will not
stand up under the pounding
Now the state of Iowa is considering
building up its necessary secondary roads
with gravel or macadam, purely in the
farmers interest. 1t does not propose to
build $4,000 roads where $4,000 roads
will serve. Every state in the Union
will watch with interest.

More About Roads.

ually disclaimS any idea of hard Surfac-
ing all the roads in the state, declaring
that any such plan would merely cover
such stretches of highway as showed by
traffic survey that they would not hold
up if constructed of gravel.
Probably no one disagrees with that
proposal, except in degree. The advO-
Gates of cement or bituminous macadam
differ in the mileage of highways they
would commit the state to erect-from
500 to 1000 miles, perhaps Taking the
less and multiplying by cost of $4,000
a mile runs us into a cost of $4,000, 900.

The same thing applies to most other

contemporary position, which is proper,
his prophecy that the new federal-aid
gravel roads will prove inadequate to the
traffic is based on the fact that before the
DummerstOn project was finished the
early-cOmpleted portions were in need Of
repairs.
This, however. is not insuperable. Re
pairs can be made. Patrol work is pro-
vided for. 1t just gets down to a qIes-
ton of what it costs per year per mile to
maintain the best sort of gravel road on
such stretches of highway, and the high
