ROADS AND FEDERAL AID

Roads built under construction or
under agreement for construction
throughout the United States in con-
junction with Federal aid funds dur
ing 4-year period lightning July
1916, total 2S,135 miles. Gravel roads
rredominate among these with total
of 10,043.5 miles; concrete number
1856 and brick 444.6 miles. The
increased cost of construction for the
higher type of roads, such as the con-
crete and brick roads accounts in
large measure for their lower mile
age figure. Total cost per mile for
the brick has been averaged as $49,-
SO; for concrete as $39,540; for
gravel $4,000.
Total cost of the 28,135 miles of
roadway amounted to $496,151 .6S343,
the average cost per mile being ST.
G30. Out of these total millions
s211,135,376.31 was made available
through Federal aid. Roads in
Maine demanded as estimated cost of
construction s4,S23,712O2, of which
Federal aid contributed $2,343,S793O
for the 1866 miles built in the Pine
Tree state.

Surely this looks like easy money.

general taxation, and toward that

In other words. if the government
made no road building arrangement,
we should have s5.000000 at home to
spend in taxes, instead of the 81 ,140,

partnership with Texas and Idaho in
highway construction.
This is the situation with practi-
cally all federal expenditures. The
situation varies a little according to

Federal Eneroachment.

(Malne farmer.)
The Governor is right when he
warns against the encroaching of
special boards connected with the
national government upon rights be-
longing to the state. If this is al
lowed to continue the people will be
dictated to in everything. Control of
our roads, schools. agriculture, fish
cries and other departments are fast
being taken over by officials who as
sumo that they know more about
what we need than do the men. on
the ground. Maine has purchased
two farms for experimental purposes
for Maine farmers but both are to-
day controlled and directed by
Washington officials. Up to the
time that Professor Woods left,
no Maine man had a voice in
what should be done and if any ex-
pertinent was attempted some whip
per snapper from Washington would
very likely order it rooted out be-
cause mot directed from headquar-
ters." 1t is high time for the men
of the State to wake up to the GER
tainty that if this continues we shall
become merely tools under control of
men who know absolutely nothing
about conditions or needs of Maine.

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade.
Here's m easy why to save y, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this well.
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of
cough will soon earn it q permanent
place in your home.
Into pint bottle, pour 2H ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you a full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this home. made remedy conauers
cough-usually in "A hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm.
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.

Huge High Power
Transmission Sys-
tens Being Planned

Paris, Dec. 16-The linking OF
groups of the principal Countries OF
the world into huge high power
transmission systems from which
electrical energy sufficient to provide
n large portion of commercial and
transport needs could be taken Is
one of the problems which the Inter
national Electrical Conference in
Taris had under discussion.
The meeting brought together
delegates from Il countries including
tho United States and Canada.
Electricity as means of moving
trains. ocean steamships and turning
the wheels of industry Is about TO
come into its own, according TO the
delegates and the only thing that
prevents tremendous dcvclopmo nj X
in electric energy is the present high
cost of materials ana the expense
attached to changing from steam and
other methods to electricity.
Nations had enough potential
electrical energy in their waterways
to eventually abandon the use Of
coal, experts at the conference said,
but only government financing could
provide sufficient funds to harness
this dormant power.
The American delegates surprised
the European experts when they out
lined the extent to which electricity
is made to work for the American
people. The invasion of the Ameri-
can home by such labor saving de-
vices as electric stoves. dishwash-
ers, irons, etc, amazed many Of the
delegates who represent countries
where as yet electricity has not fig
ured in the home except in supply
ing light.
The conference studied methods
for the standardization of equipment
necessary in connecting the various
highpower transmission systems.
With such an international power
arrangement as suggested France
may in the near future supply cleo
trical energy to the Balkan States
and points as distant as Poland and
Russia.
The delegates were surprised at
the progress made in electrical de-
velopment in France fince 1918. The
use of French rivers in generating
electrical energy will eventually place
France second to none in the manu-
facture of electricity in the opinion OF
the delegates.

PRIVILEGE WITH RESPONSIBLE
ITY

A member Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is advocating the
policy Of the New England states
taking up the debts and interest due
from railroads serving that territory.
Not that they should pay out large
sums Of money but should assist the
credit Of the railroads by securing
representation on the boards of di-
rectors.
This Is question which may be
discussed with profit, but while about
1t would 1t not also be we'll to discuss
the proposition to do away with the
requirement of regular wage for the
entire country and permit that to be
adjusted according to local condi-
tons?
Federal regulation has been
thought necessary, and probably it is,
but when the Government fixes the
wage that shall be paid and the rate
that shall be charged it is but logical
to expect it to make good any deficit
due to a discrepancy between income
and outgo; all % which leads direct
ly to Government ownership, the
very thing that has been strikingly
and convincingly demonstrated in
actual experience as being the very
condition we wish to avoid. OF
course If the railroad employees could
have the Government own the roads
and pay them what they might want
they would be willing for the taxpay-
ers of the country to make up the
deficit. II the farmers of the far
West could have the Government
own the roads and haul the freights
cheaply. the taxpayers to make up
the deficit that would be lovely for
the farmers while it lasted. But how
long would 1t last and what would
be the end thereof? Surely greater
trouble than has yet been expert
enced.
Now II the Government Is to have
the locality maintain the credit, If
that Is found feasible. which is
doubtful. then in the name Of COM
mon sense permit those accepting the
responsibility some voice in the man.

and freights IL she is to support

BORAH A BORE

Senator Borah is overlooking no
opportunity to defeat the work of the
Conference. Speaking in church,
Sunday, he proposed what he was
pleased to term test to show
whether the four-power treaty is
based on justice. 1t /: no test which
he proposes but an attempt to dis
credit the treaty.
1t will be recalled that the treaty
referred to binds the contracting
parties 'to respect their rights in re-
lation to their insular possessions
and insular dominions in the region
OF the Pacific ocean," Senator Borah
would tack onto it an agreement with
respect to Asia as well as to the
insular possessions of the Pacific, to
"the sovereignty of all nations or
governments in the region of the
Pacific"
Senaor Borah is an intelligent man
and he knows full well that an at
tempt to settle all the difficulties of
China, for instance, along with those
of the insular possessions in the
Pacific would defeat the purposes of
the Conference. He also, being in
telligent, must realize that which is
evident to the rest of the onlookers,
the fact that failure of the Confer
ence would be an irreparable blow
at the administering of justice Gin
the region of the Pacific" Yet he
makes use Of the facilities offered by
a church for promoting this mischief.
Why did he not follow his argument
to logical conclusion and advocate
the doing away Of the church unless
all those supporting it shall agree to
sin no more and to make amends for
all the wrong they have done?
If Borah persists he is likely to
become somewhat of bore.

The United States Senate has lost
4 pillar of strength by the death of
Boies Penrose. He was a representa-
tive Of political methods which pre-
vailed in a previous generation, but
under which he was able to and did
accomplish much Of permanent value.
Being a strong man, having control
OF an organization so powerful that
he did not fear the shifting of
political popularity and possessed Of
adequate courage to face an issue if
need be, he made his mark deep in
matters of tariff and financial poll
cies. That he respected his position

the strict attention he has devoted
to his senatorial work notwith-
standing the inroads he suffered in
his health. He literally gave him.

THE PROMISED LAND

Nearly twenty-six years ago, in
1896. DR.. Theodore Herzl, a journalist
in Vienna, issued a pamphlet entitled
1.-THE Jewish State,' proposing that
Palestine should be obtained from
the Sultan Of Turkey and a Jewish
autonomous state Should be estab-
lshed under Turkish suzerainty and
the guarantee of the Great Powers
Many events have crowded the in
fervening years but the idea persisted
and the war served to put England in
control OF the land and the assent of
the Turkish sovereign is no longer
essential. The persecution of the
Jews in Russia stimulated the ardor
Of that people, though many of them
yet regard the plan with disfavor or
skepticism..
Nahum Sokolow is a native Of Rus
STA and one of its ahlest men. He
obtained Pope Benedjct's approba-
ton Of Zionism. Associated with
him are other brilliant men, Otto
Warburg. Vladimir Jabotinsky and
DR.. Alexander Goldstein. who was
driven out Of Russia by the Boil
sheviks. They have vision Of
restoration in the Holy Land, shared
in by the inhabitants, whether Jew,
Christian or Arabian. but in which
the Jews would predominant. That
vision includes irrigation Of thou
sands of acres now barren, titled by
a contented people. the Harvesting of
the waters Of the Jordan for power,
