Press Howl in Madrid

Madrid, March 20-The newspapers
were unanimous today in complain
ing of the treatment of the press by
the new government, declaring it is
not allowing them to publish the
works of their own reporters in the
manner customarily permitted by all
governments in recent, years.
Instead Of cabinet ministers per-
sonalIy answering inquiries and be-
ing accessible to reporters when sub
jects of interest arise, they have Of
fered to issue a daily report drafted
by a clerk, which the newspapers de-
cline to accept. Consequently, poll
teal information has become scarce
since the change in the ministry and
as the Cortes is not sitting virtually
nothing can be cleaned concerning
political movements.

Highway Maintenance
Costs Commission
Makes Comparison

The Highway Commission has re-
Gently made a study of the main
tenance costs of all roads built in
1914, that is to say, the first roads
on which the Commission have
maintenance records. 1t is found
that the maintenance cost for all
roads built in that year for the period
of six years have averaged twenty
six per cent. of the original cost.
Segregating the above figures. it
bituminous macadam, aggregating
twenty-seven miles in length, have
shown total cost of maintenance
for period Of six years of eleven
per cent. Of their original cost, while
twenty-one sections Of gravel high
way built during the same year, ag-
gregating 1858 miles, have shown a
total maintenance cost for the six
year period of thirty-one per cent. of
their original cost.
In studying the above figures, it
should be borne in mind that the
bituminous macadam roads have
given satisfactory service every day
of the year when they have not been
covered with snow. The gravel
roads give satisfactory service for a
period of from six to seven months
after the frost has left them in the
spring, and they have settled and
been smoothed for the summer They
are not satisfactory during the
period when the frost is going into
the ground in the fall and the most
Of these roads are impossible for a
month in the spring when the frost
is coming out.
The most startling facts brought
out by this comparison are as fol-
lows:
One section of bituminous road
was built in Wells in 1914, having a
length Of EOS miles. The total cost
was $22.4S1.1S for the two miles of
road. The total maintenance cost
for six years has beer S5S2.40, or a
maintenance cost for the six years
OF .026 just slightly over p per cent.
Of the original cost.
On section OF gravel road 1.2
miles long in Biddeford, which cost
$4607.77, the maintenance cost in
six years has been $6,1o677, or 1872
per cent, of the original cost. The
section Of bituminous macadam in
Wells has always been perfect The
section of gravel road in Biddeford
has been impossible every spring.

NO UOOd Under the
Existing Circumstances

1t is stated by the Jackson cor
respondent of the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal that those registrars
who haye made rounds of their
counties with the poll books for
the purpose of giving women the
opportunity to register without Wis
iting their offices have done so in
violation of section 4122 of the
Mississippi Code, which says:
The registrar shall keep his
books open at his office and shall
register the electors of his coun-
ty at any time. but in the
year of every general election, and
not less than four months before
said election, tho registrar shall
visit and spend one whole day at
each voting precinct in his county.
for the purpose of registering
voters. after having given notice by
publication for three consecutive
weeks of the times and places of
such visits. The registration books
shall not be removed from the reg
istrar'o office, except as herein pro-
vided."
The right to vote was conferred
upon women since there was a gen.
eral election in Mississippi. 1t
would be a gallant thing to do if
some wise lawyer could point a
way out of the difficulty and tell
how to give the women a square
deal by providing them equal con-
veniences for registration along
with the men. Could not such law
yer make a contradictory interpre-
tation of the statute. citing that it
is pre- facto and make it no good
under existing circumstances?

Elsewhere in the Weekly is pre-
sented the Mississippi plan to put
cotton to Zoe per pound and keep
it there, formulated and enunciated
by Mr.. E. d. Gilmore. of Amory
Mr.. Gilmore assumes that foreign
spectators fix the price of Ameri-
can cotton and his plan is designed
to release it from their manipula-
tions and stabilize the price at Zoe
per pound. This could be done If
the plan of the organization could
be carried out by the cooperation
of all cotton producers in reducing
or increasing acreage each year as
conditions of supply and demand
might indicate. The data to de-
termine the conditions fixing the
price of cotton is TAKEN care of in
the plan by establishing local spot
exchanges in each compress town
of the principal cotton growing
states, and CHASING farmers. politi-
clans. lawyers, bankers, buyers and
shippers who would refuse to align
LucLdSClNcS Will luC pQIPOSc Vi
these exchanges as enemies of the
cotton farmers and friends of the
Spot Cotton Trust at New York.
The Weekly knows little about
the practices which have cut the
heart out of cotton prices, but he
lieves the cotton farmer has been
robbed of all margins in the pro-
duction of his cotton. and that
some kind of organization ought to
be formed by means of which the
farmers interests might be protected.
We understand that organization
under the Mississippi plan has been
in Amory and that organ
ization under it is contemplated to
take place in Aberdeen just as soon
as our people recognize the plan to
be a solution of the situation.
The author of the plan invites
criticism and cooper
alton from all VINO may desire to
see cotton prices released from the
influences that threaten
to destroy the cotton industry in
the South.

Harvey said: I'VE sent our soldiers
solely to save the United States. "
A few days later in New York and
speaking over bodies of dead Amer
lean soldiers brought from France,
President Harding said: These
heroes were sacrificed in the SUI
preme conflict Of all history. They
saw democracy challenged and de-
Tended it; they saw civilization
threatened and rescued it." Now
the question is who spoke for the
American people-George Harvey
or Warren G.. Harding2-New Or

Both Harding and Harvey enun-

to save herself and others. Attempts
to cut humanitarianism out of this

Congressman John Rankin has
delivered a very strong plea in con-

curtailing governmental expenses.
The old saying. In time of peace
prepare for war" is very good ex-

it sounds convincing, but neverthe-
less the Times agrees with Mr..
Rankin when he says:
This is the most propituous

cry for economy by adopting this
amendment, reducing the standing
