years, the late Michael Collins found
time to keep up his one great inter

This was the breeding of his be-

Sweden's Revenue From

1922 will be over 121, 100000 kronor,
or more than $S2 2,0O0, 900, according
to the official reports just published
by the Liquor Control Board.
One of the arguments used by Swe-
den's "wets" in the recent prohibition
referendum in Sweden, which resulted
in victory for the anti-prohibition-
ists,. was that in case Sweden went
dry there would be heavy loss Of
revenue from liquor taxes, and that

Charlotte Amalia, st. Thomas, V
l., Sept. 26.-St. Thomas merchants,
whose prosperity depends chiefly on
the amount of shipping that comes
into the harbor, are hopeful that
President Harding takes prompt and
favorable action on the memorandum
recently handed him by commits
sion from st Thomas urging that the
Volstead Act be not enforced in the
Virgin Islands; that the coastwise
shipping law be suspended, and that
the quarantine regulations be abat-
ed.
T Ship figures compiled from the
custom house records show that for
the year, ending June 80, 1922, g.
156 vessels of all types entered this
port, as compared with 2.522 for the
previous year. For the IL months
ended June 80, 1920, 2,245 ships came
into port. I8
It is pointed out here that the year
ended June 80, 1921, was abnormal,
and that there has, in fact, been only
a slight decline on the actual number
Of cessels entering port over the fis-
!cal year 1920. But it appears that
the port is not suffering 80 much
from the decline in the number of
vessels coming here, as from the
fact that fewer of these vessels take
on coal or other supplies.

and efficiently as most work let to
contractors. An interesting sidellght
on the work is the experience that
county employees and citizens are re-
ceiving in building a comparatively
high type of road.
Among First Counties of State
Prior. to the initiation of tile force
account projects there were few resi-
dents or employees of the county who
had had experience in building any
thing but the simplest kind of an earth
road. Now, however, the county will
be able to get an ample supply of
efficient labor in the construction OF
any roads they may wish to under
take. AS they have also acquired con-
siderable equipment, it is highly prob
able that important roads on which
federal aid cannot be obtained will be
substantially improved by the counties
themselves.
A number of road projects have been
built by county forces in various parts
Of the state, usually with consider
able success. Until last spring it was
possible for a county to take a project
on a force account basis without sub
hitting q bid in competition with con-
tractors. A ruling of the bureau of
public roads in the spring of 1922
prevented the continuance of this prac-
tice and required that counties. if they
desired to construct federal aid prof.
ects within their boundaries, submit
a bid. This ruling has prevented some
counties from undertaking projects
that could have been financed and con-

ject No. 60, in June, 1920, on a force
account basis. The project is 27.62
miles in length and extends from Shell
by east ON the Roosevelt international
highway to the county line. Twenty
miles of the project are gravel sur
faced, but the remainder will not be
surfaced at this time, as the natural
material provides a suitable surface
for present traffic. The work has been
done entirely by county forces and
work has been afforded many of the
farmers Of the county. The project
is now practically complete and most
of the county forces and equipment
have been removed to Federal A1daPro-
ject 154-A, which extends from Shelby
west for a distance of GAS miles. On
this latter project Toole county bid
during the last summer and, being the
only bidder, was awarded the contract.
Work was Immediately started and at
the present writing is over % per
cent complete. The county has made
excellent progress on this project and
bids fair to have it completed ahead
of contract time.
The organizations in Hill and Tooie
counties for handling the work have
been very much like that in general
use by contractors. The county com
missioners have general charge of the
work, but the immediate supervision is
delegated to an experienced superin-
tendent, who is responsible for the
actual construction operations. A very
good class of labor is obtained from
the farmers in the community and the
work proceeds fully as economically

Expects Tire Prices
to Go Up; Materials
Are Costing More

Edward P. Rinke of the Tire Sales
company takes the stand that the sit
uation in the raw material market is
such that a marked increase in tire
prices must soon take effect. He says:
For example, 60 days ago rubber
was selling at Is cents a pound. To-
day it is 81 cents q pound. Fabric was
selling at 50 cents. Today is y IL
cents.
To-day as you know tire prices are
far lower than they have ever been,
A casual survey of the stock market
will show that rubber stocks have adj
yanced the least of the industrials. A
casual survey, too, of the financial
statements show that very few, if any
of them, have made any money the
past year. In fact, it is a known fact
that most of them have lost money,
and that very few have been able to
pay any dividends
with this condition existing as it
does. it should be self-evident that
there is no recourse other than to ma
terially raise prices

sive attitude with regard to the con-
~struction of the trunk highway system

This has been accomplished largely in
a time of general depression, when the
aid that the additional work has af-
forded the farmers has been most
needed,
