1t is better to build a cheap road
and keep it in good condition by ade-
Quate maintenance than to build the
most expensive highway and permit 1t
to deteriorate for wan of care. say
officials of the bureau of public roads
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Maryland, which a one of the fin
, 1921-03-17

the United States, if not the best.
has consistently followed this practice.
The originally improved roads in Ma
ryland were comparatively inexpen-
sive. costing only what the taxpayers
were willing to pay for. The first few
years the average cost was less than
$4,000 a mile. In some cases the work
entailed considerable grading and
drainage. but in others IL amounted
simply to resurfaclng the old turn
pixies. which had already been graded
and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, II feet wide and
8 inches thick. Soon the width was
increased to IA feet. Later many were
widened still farther, some very suc-
cessfully, by adding concrete Shout
ders on each side of the existing
macadam. This method of improving
roads makes 1t possible for traffic to
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads In Maryland
ave given very good satisfaction, but
continuous car has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patroled and no hole
OF any size Is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching Is kept
at convenient points along the roads
for the use of the patrol man. From
a relatively small investment In ad-
mittediy low-type road II builds mp a
better one from year to year.. always
conserving the bulk Of the previous
investment.

not touched upon at the dinner, but
that domestic reconstruction problems
formed the bulk of the discussion,
makes 1t "a practical certainty that
the latter will receive first considera-
ton at the coming session. Tax re-
vision seems to have the right of way
over other questions and after it
comes the tariff. the problem being
to lessen burdens and at the same
time provide adequate revenues. If
the excess profits tax us repealed,
economies in governmental expendi-
lures will have to be instituted and
additional evenue from imports and
perhaps other sources will be re-
quired.
President Harding has intimated
that an emergency tariff may be pro-
posed. but that final disposition of
the tariff question will await the rec
concentrations Of a new tariff com
mission to be constituted along scien-
tifc lines. This commission is yet to
be appointed and its deliberations nee
essarily VIII be prolonged, so that the
ultimate tariff bill OF this administra-
ton does not loom as a very zeal pos
sibility.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has announced himself definitely for
economies and for the establishment
of a national budget system. In a
letter to the banks Of the country he
has declared that. while the figures as
to the public debt and the current
pnnrnffn-a - a. -
the finances of h government are In
a sound position. the situation calls
for the utmost economy. The letter
covers the financial condition In con.
siderable detail and winds up with
b statement: 1.-The people generally
must become more interested In saw
Ing the governments money than In
spending it. A thorough-going nation
al budget system must be estab-
lished and the governments expenses
brought into relation to Its income"
Ever since Brig. Gen. Charles G.
Dawes announced himself so posi-
lively before a congressional commit
tee on b subject of unbusiness-
Ike methods In the national depart
ments. and other matters, there has
been persistent talk that this admin.
istration would take energetic action
to reduce criticism In this respect.
Accordingly he President has gone
over tentative plans with a joint com.
mittee from house and senate now
holding sessions in Washington. The
plans which White House advices
state are approved by the President.
and will have the cooperation of the
cabinet. call for a reorganization of
the executive departments to sys
tematize administration. eliminate
duplication and reduce expenses. II
