Dividends in general prosperity,
due indirectly to good roads, are,
therefore, greater than the original
investment. The profits Of good
roads are not paid in cash, but in
the saving Of time and money; in the
pleasure and freedom Of movement
Of the owners of vehicles, and IN the
general progress and prosperity Of
the nation. Over nine hundred mil
lions Of dollars were spent on good
roads during 1917, 1918 and 1919.
That means less than three dollars q
person for the space Of one year.

road is bad. Short hauls and ex.
press services can be rendered at a
much lower rate on the highway than
on the railway. In the cost Of short
hauls highway transportation is
cheaper than railway transportation,
because Of the saving in the cost Of
packing freight and transporting it
to and from the terminals and hand
ling it there. On the whole, more
freight is hauled to and from the
rails than on them. A properly built
road sometimes decreases the cost
considerably. Good roads are a
remedy for the distribution system
and, therefore, serve to reduce the
high cost Of living.
Good roads makes the miles short
er and bring the farm closer to town.
The farmer gets in touch with the
merchant who buys. He can sell and
purchase in larger and better mar
kets. A rural truck lines helps the
farmer by giving him daily transport
tation for small parcels that would
otherwise go to waste or require spe-
cial and more expensive delivery.
Sometimes the farmer suffers great
losses because he cannot reach the
market economically. In the hand
ling of perishable foods, the high
way permits him to market his crop
without mourning losses. It also per-
mits the marketing at the right time
as to the prices of crops. Good roads
save time and money for the farmer.
A good system of roads also gives the
farmer the advantage of rural deliv-
cry from the leading stores in the
city.

latter. On the contrary, good roads
are a strong ally to the railways. The
kind Of traffic which is unprofitabls
to the railway is profitable to the
truck line. Short hauls. Of from 20
to so miles are the greatest field for
the truck, while they are performed
by the railway line with little profit
and sometimes with actual loss. In
some cases railroads use both" freight
and passenger motor buses in spur
trackage because Of the loss entailed
in the wavering patronage and the
high cost Of tracks.
Large cities depend upon trans
portation. A system Of good roads
could be relied upon as a reserve
power if the railroad system should
be interrupted. London was saved
by the motor truck during the rail-
road strike in England.
"Good roaods icrease the value Of
property and thereby increase returns
through taxation. The operation Of
the motor truck makes the tillage Of
vast tracts Of uncultivated land prof
liable and causes the value Of it to
increase up to five or six times its
former value. The operation of mo-
tor trucks demands good roaOds.
Good roads also reduce the cost
of the upkeep Of equipment. Besides
taking TWICE the amount of gasoline
on bad roads as is used on good
roads, the wear on the vehicle is much
greater. Also there is less liability of
loss by accident on good roads than
on bad ones.
"The building of good roads does

not only accomplish a work benefit
cial to both citizens and industries,
but in times Of financial distress and
unemployment, it furnishes employ
ment to persons who might other
wise suffer.
Rome fell when the people of her
empire crowded together in cities. "A
nation, like a man, can die Of poor
circulation when the blood is con-
gested in the heart The congestion
in cities, causes unsatisfactory eco
nomic conditions and tends to lower
the physical and moral standing.
Good roads open up the country and
make it attractive and profitable to
live in, and thereby reduce the trend
OF population to the cities. Con-
veniences and advantages of the city
can be had in the country. Good
roads make possible the consolidated
store, theater, lecture hall and. ath-
letic field. The boys and girls in
the country are satisfied and those
in the city get the advantage Of SUI
burban and country life.
"Good roads are an agent in the
furtherance of education. By means
Of good roads, better schools are
made possible. The little one-room
schools can be consolidated into a
graded school with advantages and
conveniences like those of the city
school. The children can be brought
to and from the school at less expense
than was formerly incurred. Good
roads permit more regular attend
ance of school.

Price DeflatiOn
Aid to Building


Corrected wholesale price statistics
on lumber and building materials for
the month of April as recently an
nounced by the bureau Of labor sta
tistics Of the Department Of Labor
show that probably no other COM
modities, with the exception Of farm
products, have sustained such a de-
fiation in price," John w. Blodgett.
president of the National Lumber
Manufacturer Association, declared
in statement yesterday.
Revision Of data upon which the
April prices were originally given by
the bureau show that these were 80
per cent too high. Mr.. Biodgett said,
adding that the injustice hitherto
done to building materials" was
caused by the bureau taking the New
York market prices as the basis for
it's calculations. Those prices, he
said, were utterly unrepresentative
Of general lumber prices throughout
the country.

Holds That Metric Measures
Z: Are Inferior to i. S. system

and mea sufes. superior in every way
to the metric system. merely by the
use of decimal divisions and null
iples of the English foot, the avoir-
dupois ounce. and the British fluid
ounce. which have the same decimal
correlation as have the basic units of
the metric system. Indeed. the metric
system in it's decimal relations and
in the correlation of the units OF
length with the units of mass and
capacity is but counterfeit of the
decimal corelations which exist in
herently and naturally between the
foot. the ounce and the fluid ounce
OF our common system.
James Watt. the great British
mechanician and inventor of the
steam engine, pointed out these core
lations and proposed a decimal system
OF weights and measures based upon
the foot and the ounce. This is the
only basis for the pretense of the
metric propaSandists that James
Watt invented the metric system. I
pave recently seen a 5O0-page book
CT metric propaganda dedicated to
James Watt as the founder of the
metric system. The assumption by
metric propagandists that they can
get away with fakery of this kind
indicates their estimation of the gull
libility of the American public.
Instruction in Schools.
If private Individual had to nav
for the instruction of his children in
the metric system, there are not
many who would pay for education Of
this kind. Yet the public moneys are
being expended in. the teaching. of
this impractical relic of the French
revolution. And plans are now being
made to carry on more intensive met
ric instruction in the schools of the
District of Columbia. Such use Of
public funds should be interdicted.
and students should be relieved from
being plagued with this Impractical
alien thing. Moreover. the appropri-
ations which our government makes

continued. The Bureau of Standards
should cease using public funds In

ceive peremptory orders to cease oHi-
cial solicitation for q system of
weights and measures which the ACT
Of Congress Of 1856 recognizes only
as a foreign system, and prescribes
means or tables for its conversion
into "the weights and measures Of the

friend has handed me clipping
Of the letter of w. L., Peters which
sppeared in recent issue of The

exclusive use of the metric system

States. Mrs Peters IS apparently an
empIoye of the American Metric AS
sociation. I would say that he has
learned his little piece very we'll and
v..l doubtless recite it to any listen
Or who, calls upon him at the rooms

,There is one statement in Mr.. Pc
fers' letter to which 1 desire to ad-
uert.s He says:
There is a relation between the
tnits of the metric system that is not
found in our present system. The
oube of the tenth of a meter or a
aecimeter gives you the unit for ca
nacity measure. The cube of a cent?
meter gives you the unit for weight
measure"
- Metrics Practically Applied.
Eha. 1 desire to tell Mr.. Peters,
rhich he and metric zealots generally
Do not know, is that our present Brit
tsh fluid ounce, which is becoming the
primary unit of capacity, is precisely
,Se cuDe OF the tenth of the English
foot, and that the avoirdupois ounce
which Is now our primary unit OF
weight, is precisely equal to the
weight of the cube Of the tenth OF
the foot of water. That is to say
the avoirdupois ounce and the Brit
Ash fluid ounce may both be directly
derived from the tenth OF the English
foot, precisely as are the cubic cent?
meter and the gram of the metric
aystern both derived from the hun
dredth of the meter.
1t Is quite as convenient and easy
a. use decimal divisions and decimal
multiples of the ounce and the fluid
ounce as 1t Is to use decimal divi.
