Kansas Ranks Twenty-SecOnd
in Hard Surface Mileage.
Sixth In Concrete and Second
in Brick in Country.
TOTAL OF Gil MILES HERE
State in Line for Better Posi-
ton After Present Work.
An Average of s1O,s64 Per Mile
of Federal Aid.

Kansas ranks twenty-second among
the states in hard surface road mile
age, according to latest figures gath
cred by NJ w. Watson, state highway
engineer. 1t holds sixth place in con-
crete road mileage and is second in
brick roads. The states total hard
surface road mileage is 611.2 miles.
Much of the attention of Kansas
road builders has apparently been
turned toward concrete road construc-
ton, the record indicates. Gravel
roads, graded and drained dirt roads
and brick roads follow in their order.
In road building the state has received
an average of $1O,S64 federal aid a
mile.
While Kansas with her 611.2 miles
of hard surface roads is in twenty
second place, yet there are but seven
states in the country registering more
than 1000 miles of permanent roads.
Only two states-Minnesota and Texas
have more than 1000 miles of per-
manent roads. There are but ten
states with more than 500 miles of
permanent roads, the records show.
So Kansas is in line for better posi-
ton with completion of her present
road building projects.
Next to Top in Brick.
Kansas has 81 miles of brick
roads. This mileage is exceeded in
but one state-Ohio.
This states concrete road mileage
is 214.2 miles. Only five states ex-
coed that mileage in concrete road
construction.
Kansas registers 112.9 miles of
gravel road and 1881 miles of graded
and drained roads. Bituminous ma
cadam mileage is 40.4 and water
bound macadam, ga miles.
The record included roads COM
pleted and under actual construction
in April.

SHIPPERS HERE SEPTEMBER 5
Nebraska Scale Favored by Confer
ence Here Next Month.

A second conference of the shippers
of gravel, chats, cinders, stone, and
other material, on intrastate freight
rates, has been called by the public
utilities commission for September B.,
in Topeka. The conference follows
a hearing On the rates which was held
August z.
Carriers and shippers from various
points in the state are interested in the
rates. Shippers presented evidence at
the first meeting to support their
claim that the rates should be reduced,
with the 35 per cent increases au-
thorized by the Eek Parte 74'' decision
of the interstate commerce commits
sion in 1920, removed.
/. The dealers in chats, from the Ga
lena neighborhood, wish to have
mileage scale, based on the present
milage scale in Oklahoma, applied.
These rates are for the most part
lower than the present rates in Kan
SaS.
The shippers of sand from the Kaw
and Arkansas rivers, object to the dis
ruption of the grouping arrangement
which has been in effect for some
years and which provides rates for
the shipment of sand into the south
western portion of the state.
The carriers have indicated that
they would welcome the application
of what is known as the Nebraska
scale Of mileage rates, which is in
many cases lower than the prevailing
intraState rates.

CASUALTIES OF PEACE

War destroys life and property and for that
reason wise and good men everywhere want to
do away with war. But if war were ended for
ever men would still be killed and manned and
property would continue to be destroyed. Good
and useful forces sHaetimes get out of control
and do harm; men make mistakes; accidents
will happen.
Every great enterprise takes its toll in hui
man life. Men are killed and injured daily in
mines, factories and in the fields of the farmers.
And besides these accidents there are conditions
incident to many industries that injure the
health of workers and often temporarily or per-
manently disable them.
These facts in general are known to every
one but not many know that the losses from
such causes are appalling; that they are more
terribly continually than are the casualties of
war which occur only at intervals. There is no
guess work about the figures. The reports of
state compensation commissions show that the
number of persons disabled or suffering indus
trial disease is not less than 100000 annually.
In the state of New York alone there are $780,
900 cases every year of industrial disease and
disability, more than all the soldiers of the
United States disabled in the war.
The unfortunates do not receive the public
sympathy which is accorded soldiers though
they are in a sense, casualties of public service.
The are seldom adequately compensated; they
rarely are pensioned; they frequently suffer
great loss in earnings and in many cases never
find suitable means of earning a living after
wards. They become a charge upon the public.
There will be various ways of meeting the
obligation but probably the first needs is to bring
nome to every industrial community a genuine
conviction that the obligation exists. All the
forces of education, of community conscience,
of industrial efficiency. or business management
should be directed to lessening this huge waste
and mitigating this pitiable volume of human
misfortune and suffering.
THE RAREST kind of auto-suggestion:
Won't buy the car until I have the price"
