OPPOSES LIMITING
HIGHWAY MATERIAL
U. S. Bureau Chief Urges
Open Competition in Road
Building. !

In statement just issued. Thomas
H. Macdonald, chief of tho United
States bureau Of public roads. de-
plores the tendency that has been de-
veloping in some states to pass legis-
! laticn governing conditions of bond
| issues and specifying one type Of ma
terial to be used in highway con-
struction. Such a course. he says. is
unfortunate and costly. Mr.. Mac
Donald urges open competition for
all materials and more careful con-
sideration of cost and local conditions
of pavement is determined upon.
Granting that the preparation OF
the roadbed has been properly DONE"
says Mr.. Macdonald, many kinds of
road surfaces will give excellent serv-
ice. The element of time ia impor:

cost will be SO enormous that the
most careful and detailed study of

times the question has been asked the
bureau: What type of road 10 best?
The answer Is always the same.
There is not one best kind or type
OmciaI Statement.
"A recent statement issued by the
officials of the bureau expresses this
thought in the following language:
consider the conditions on each indi-
vidual federal aid project. as there
are elements such as subgrade. drain
age and present and prospective traf-
tic. which vitality affect the deter
mination of the standards Of con-
struction to be used
That is. there must be . careful
analysis both of the engineering and
economic conditions for each parficu-
lar case to determine the kinds OF
materials that can be used success
fully: and after these facts are de.
construction which can be used eco
nomically should be brought into
competition to secure the best possi-
BILE results. There have been oc-
casional attempts to write into state
laws on the governing conditions of
bond issues a requirement as to the
type or kind of roads to be construct
ed. To follow such a course would
be most unfortunate. The cost must
always be considered in determining
| the types Of road surfaces which are
| selected, and the allowable cost must
| be determined by the traffic which
is to be borne. Local conditions vary
| to such an extent that very careful
| consideration must be given each
| project before determining the char
acter or type of roads to be built
This principle was recently expressed
| TO a chamber of commerce. asking foI
information, in the following Ian
guage:
! "Types of highways should not be
specified by law. This is matter to
be decided by the state highway de.
partment. in which should be lodged
| full authority both to construct and
toa maintain Competition between
ldifferent types of material should be
maintained and selection made to nj
traffic requirements in each case. The
bureau does not recommend any one

INDUSTRY RELATION
HIGHWAY PROBLEM
Failure to Recognize Proper
Uses Bar to Transportation
Development.

Until the many industries that use
the highways, either in the transpor-
tation over them Of their raw mate
rial, partly manufactured or finished
products. realize the relationship of
their Industry to the highway prob
lem it is not to be expected that
transportation development will go
ahead as 1t should. This ,is the opin-
ion expressed by those vitality inter-
ested in the future of the country's
thoroughfares.
Referring to this relationship. Au-
totmobtle Industries has this to say:
The highway problem today is
more than one-half road construc-
tion and maintenance; it is one of the
proper uses Of the highway and
str eets of our cities; 1t involves not
only the highways. but our railway
and waterway termini in relation to
these highways and the most efficient
these highways.
Must Ne Looked in Face.
Our highway problem is one that
must be looked squarely in the face
not only by motor car and motor
truck manufacturers, but by railway
executives, city governments, sub
urOah tFoliey Interests waterway eA-
ecutives and every other executive
with whom transportation is a prob
lem. 1t is only by the broad consid-
Grafton OF 1t by all these parties con-
cerned that economic results will
follow.
'"The movement cannot be pushed
by any one industry to the detriment
of others. The broad policy of rem
dering to the railroads that which
economically belongs to the railroads
and to the highways that which eco
nomically belongs to the highways
must be applied throughout to wa
terways. trolleys and. in time. to air.

Fighting Under Three Flags

Perhaps no truer Sighting man ever
lived than Genetyl Henry Hopkins
Sibley. the gallant southern OF GER
who was born at AatchitocEes, La,
104 years ago today. General oio!ey
enjoyed the unique distinction OF hav-
ing seen action under three different
flags. Early in lie h. determined TO
follow a military career, and upon
reaching manhood H. entered west
Point Military Acaa my. In 1888 lie
was graduated 4rom that inslitutl.H,
and within a very short time was
ordered to Florida, where the saya~e
Seminoles were carrying on guerrilla
warfare in the woou4I Everglades.
Later when the war between TO
United States and VI Xico broke G I,
the young officer again saw action.
He took part in most Of the MAYOR eN-
gagements of that war, from Vera Cllz
to the capture OF Mexico clty. &C
Vera Cruz he distinguished himself,
and as reward for his gallantry he
was given the brevet Of major. After
the Mexican War had ended there was
still active service for Major Sibey,
under the Stars and stripes, Tor Indian
uprisings had occurred i'll Utah ahd
other parts of the country.
Major Sibley was fighting Indians in
New Mexico when the Civil War be-
gan, and like SO many United States
army officers of that time who came
from the South. he was obliged to chose
between the army which he loved so
well and the place OF his birth. lie
chose the latter, and donned the grey
uniform of the confederate army. Hc
was Immediately commissioned brig
adler general.
Serving under the Stars and Bars -
his second flag he led an expedition
of Texans into New Mexico. AT first
success crowned his efforts, and ear y
in 1868 he def fsated the Federal trooi+
at Valverde, which was ten miles from
Fort Crag. Emboldened by this sue
cess, the dashing Southern general led
his troops on to the latter place, Tut
here he was repulsed ard driven over
the mountains into IeXas. General
Slbley continued fighting under the

a gallant soldier in his service, con
ferred the rank of brigadier general
upon him, and again he went into

Sibley spent four years in Egypt AID,
strangely enough, helped to suppress
the slave trade on the upper Nile.

Fertilizer Situation

lPrOGTSSEIEc IdEILtIJ
It is an accepted fact that when
the prices of crops are low, higher
Yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have been the chief de-
pendence of the Southern farmer for
pushing up yields in the rast. This
year he would. Of cour@ like to have
fertilizers so cheap th@. he could use
them to the limit. But it seems that
fertilizers will not be sold as cheaply
as they have been in the past.
On the part of the fertilizer manu-
facturer there is a claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre- war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done is, that
the industry is carrying a very heavy
load of farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these 0otes the manufacturers have
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet,
In spite of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts. In addition
there vas considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer
for use in manufacturing mixed ferti-
lisers this year. On this they stand
to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under.
writing the farmers of the South to
the extent of about s150,oo0,000. Had
the fertilizer manufacturers closed In
and collected all the farmers notes
when they fell due It is probable that
there would have been widespread
financial disaster.
Instead of a ruthless policy, toler-
ance has been accorded the farmer.
This policy has burdened the manu-
facturer so heavily that it is claimed
that fertilizer prices cannot be -
duced any further during this 80
