REGISTRATION PAYS FOR ROADS

A good road may be badly injured
by improper snow removal. AS yet,
clearing a highway Of snow is ANY
body's job" in nest localities; if the
state or county doesn't do it, The
transportation company will. Indeed,
many automobile trucking concerns
in the middle west and north have
more adequate snow removal appa-
ratus than the states, the road of
which they use.
But the private concerns in remov
ing now from a highway naturally
consider only its immediate benefit,
and spends no more money on the
task than necessity requires.
Snow removal from the complete
width of the highway down to the
surface, permits the road t. freeze,
but it freezes all over, and in the
spring thaws all over. Snow re-
moved from the center of a highway
presents a strip for freezing. leaving
the sides of the road protected from
cold by snow. When the thaw comes
and the snow disappears the sides are
left soft and the center hard; result.

Snow which is removed but partial
ly results in ruts in the covering
mat of snow, which all wheeled vehi-
cles follow. There is no more de-
structiye treatment to be given any
highway than a concentration of all
loads On the same spot. The result
is a speedy pushing aside OF founda-
ton stones, and a rutty condition
which is extremely destructive of the
road.

FEDERAL EXPENDITURES
on ROADS OF "

A few years ago the expenditures
of the United States on roads was
nothing. The federal budget for the
fiscal year of 1929 allows 2 IA cents
out of every dollar for federal aid
roads.
This sum-, OF course, is not enough
to build the roads the country must
have, even when matched by an equal
sun from the states. But all great
movements have to be initiated slow
ly; it took many years to work ur
public sentiment to the point where
this country al willing to build the
Panama canal. That we have gone
as far as we have in the matter OF
road builling with government aid is
a matter Of congratulation. rather
than regret, that we have not as yet
gone further.
The total 1925 budget for the ma.
ton is 4 1-2 billions, with 81 1-2
lions allowed for the United States
appropriations toward federal aid in
road building. Ten years ago such
an expenditure would have been i'm
possible. Ten years hence it will be
looked upon as ridiculous. When, as
must inevitably be the case, the
United States switches it's road policy
from the present idea of helping the
states to the broader idea of building

and connecting roads, such an ex-
penditure will be far from sufficient
To those to whom the idea OF
greater federal expenditures means
greater taxes. It is pointed out
that the good road more than
pays for itself, and that the increased
profits, the decreased costs of hauling
and the increased land values, which
inevitably follow the establishment OF
a system Of national highways will
not ony pay the entire cost of the
roads, but a handsome profit besides

DAMAGING TESTIMONY
FROM RENO NEWSPAPER
editorial in Rno JournaD

editorial in Rno JournaD
There is nothing slow about Gov
ernor Charles r. Mabey of Utah when
it comes to securing California aid
for Utah highways. Not content with
a substantial subscription from San
Francisco for tho Wendover cutoff
in Utah, on the northern route, he is
now trying to get assistance from Los
Angeles for the improvement of The
Arrowhead trail.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune
only an unexpected rush of business
before the board of directors Of the
Los Angeles chamber Of commerce
prevented that body from considering
the proposal Of Governor Mabey and
Preston G. Peterson, chairman of the
Utah road commission, relative to
lending financial assistance in the
completion Of a highway of federal
standards between Salt Lake and Los
Angeles"
The proposal Of the Utahans was
that section Of bad road in southern
Utah should be built with the aid of
Los Angeles as the cutoff is being
built-slowiy enough we regret to say
the financial assistance of
northern California towns and cities.
1.-THE unexpected rush Of business" at
the exact psychological moment when
the chief executive of the Beehive
state was to make his impassioned
appeal for funds suggests the spirited
sense Of oblivion which sweeps over
a congregation bowed in prayer as
the plate is passed-but that is
neither here nor there. What con-
Germs northern Nevada is how will
what will Utah do in furnishing a
connection with the Lincoln high
way which serves a rich central por-
ion of Nevada, ard is. in fact, one of
the best parts of The Salt Lake trade
."Hinterland?"
Inquiry by the Journal elicits the
fact that six miles of the cutoff is
under construction on force account
and that forty miles included in
other project statements, is a matter
Of conference between Utah and fed
eral officials, no contracts or this
stretch having been let.
Towns on the Lincoln highway
have come to know that they may
count OH nothing from Utah. Ne
vada has built her main arteries in
unison and equitably, but Utah ap-
pears bent on forcing the westbound
transcontinental travel south through
her own state to the exclusion of the
rights of others who may be sharing
with her the benefits and burdens of
an interstate system of roads.
We have always thought that the
Nevada position was not improved by
the fireworks of the Lincoln highway
officials in the controversy and Lin
= coin highway towns may come now
to distrust these eXcitable and some
times explosive gentlemen of the ma.
tional association when they observe
that Gail Hoag declared himself in
California as willing and determined
to make Los Angeles the end of the
trail' for his road and leave Nevada
out in the cold.
All of which may suggest to some
on the northern routes in Nevada
that it is about time We began work
ing together and not against one an
other for petty, temporary sectional
gain. The south, too, should have its
roads, but it will pay us to see that
Utah keeps her "eye on the knitting"
she has already begun on her east
and west system.

SHORT ROAD SELLS PROPERTY

oI1SpIAl INO-AD iSEs1IlJD ItOI Ithtli
A land owner in a southern state
had q large property of many acres,
a beautiful house and a big peach
orchard in bearing. Family circum =
stances made it necessary for him to
sell his property, which was valued
at about a hundred thousand dollars.
Putting it in the hands of come able
real estate men, the property owner
received several calls from prospect
i've purchasers. He met these pur-
chasers at the railroad station, mo-
tered them six miles over a good
state road, and half a mile over a
very rough and dumpy dirt road to
his house.
None of them purchased.
q Acting on the advice of one of the
real estate men, the owner spent five
thousand dollars and made that last
half mile as good as the state road.
The property sold at 4 price which
included the cost of the road, plus
n profit on the road, within one
month of it's completion!
What happens in case will hap
pen in another. A good road greatly
increases the value of all adjacent
realty, especially farms.

NO DIVIDENDS TILL
CARRIERS ARE SAFE
IS JOHNSON'S PLAN

Charging that the railroads are re-
sponsible for a large number of acct
dents and appalling loss Of life be-
cause of the unsafe equipment Of the
companies" Senator Hiram Johnson
of California has introduced an
amendment to the Cummins- Esch act
making 1t criminal offense for any
railroad company to declare a divi-
dend until its equipment has been
certified by the Interstate Commerce
Commission as adequate to meet
traffic requirements.
A fine of $1,000 or two years inn
prisonment or both are provided for
offenders.
Senator JOhnson's amendment was
a bombshell in the Old Guard camp.
1t is regarded by standpatters as
"confiscatory" and will be strangled
in the senate committee on interstate
and foreign commerce to which 1t was
referred.
Engaged In Public Service.
Declaring that the railroads are re-
sponsible for IAN intolerable condi.
tion" among the producers and con.
sumers of the west, Senator Johnson
said In introducing his amendment:
The transportation companies are
engaged in public service. They do
not hesitate to ask relief from the
government. and the relief has been
given them. The public service they
undertake should be performed. 1t is
not performed when the products of
the west rot on the ground because
the railroad companies assert they
are unable to transport them. The
brief bill l offer gives the public's
needs and services precedence over
profits.
"The railroads also must be made
to maintain their equipment in safe
and proper condition. When this bill
comes before the committee / intend
to call to the committees attention
the number of accidents and the ap.
palling loss of life because Of the un.
safe equipment of the companies, and
| shall endeavor to remedy this con.

MANY INJUNCTIONS
ISSUED DURING 1922

The year 1922 gained an undenia-
BILE reputation for the number Of In
functions issued by the courts in la
Dor disputes.
Perhaps to a greater extent than
ever before court processes were re-
sorted to in an effort to deny workers
the full exercise Of their rights. Ac-
cording to tabulation made by the
American Federation of Labor, the ju-
dicial weapon was resorted to not less
than 81 times. This does not take
fully into account the vast number of
injunctions issued by federal and 9TH
er courts during the shopmen's
strike.
The most sweeping and far reach
ing of all the injunctions was that
emanating from the court Of Federal
Judge Wilkinson at Chicago at the re-
quest of Attorney General Daugherty.
1t covered every mile of railroad and
every railroad employe in the country.
The latter were practically limited to
drawing their breath by the terms Of
the order
Shopmen claim that this injunction
restrained them from exercising their
legal and constitutional rights in con.
Quoting their strike. They interpreted
Il as an unfair use of government
powers on the side of the carriers.
The Chicago injunction provoked
bitter protest in all quarters and was
one of the causes that led to the i'm
peachment proceedings against At
torney Genefal Daugherty.

PROBE IS
ORDERED BY BOARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-The In
terstate commerce commission will
probe the railroad equipment of this
country, and has called on railroad
managers for reports. This indicates
that the railroads have reached the
peak of their union-smashing policy
that has wrecked their equipment
The policy OF these railroads is H.
lustrated by the Southern Pacific rail-
roads last report that nearly one-half
million dollars was cut from mainte-
nance-of-way expenses to meet divi-
dends and the extra expense OF
strikebreakers.
Senator Johnson OF California has
proposed an amendment to the Cum
mins-Esch law which would empower
the interstate commerce commission
to first pass on the equipment of rail-
roads before they are permitted to
pay dividends.
Recently William H. Johnston,
president of the International Associ-
alton Of machinists, petitioned the In.
COuHAA18AOn W
conduct an investigation Of the rail-
roads along the line the commission
now announces. The trade unionist
reminded the commission that the
shortage Of cars and good order equip
ment is the greatest in the history of
American railroading.
The petition states that 36.S per
cent of all locomotives on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail
road "are chronically out of service
in need Of repairs, while on the Penn.
sylvania the percentage is 42.2. And
the records indicate that conditions
are getting worse"
Attention is called to Secretary of
Commerce Hooyers statement in his
annual report that the losses to
American industry from the present
failure OF railroad equipment are now
equal to the entire cost of govern
ment."

LABOR SHORTAGE IS
DENIED BY BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE agi-
tation for a let-down of immigration
bars cannot conceal these facts:
The census bureau of the United
States is quoted in the public press
(Dec. ~ that common labor is OBJ
tainable in large volume in many
parts of the United States at the rate
of $3.50 for a 10-hour day"
No northern European country has
taken advantage of the per cent inn
migration law. The quotas of Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, France, Ger.
many, Belgium, Holland. Norway and
Sweden are all untitled. immigrants
from these countries are not coming
to the United States.
Southern Europe and the Balkan
countries, where the illiterate immi-
grants come from, and which supplies
the cheapest white labor in the world,
have their quotas filled. No more
can come from these countries unless
the per cent law is changed.
To tap this supply of cheap labor
is the purpose of those who cry ia
Dor shortage"
Corporations in the United States
can find plenty of labor in their own
country If they will pay a living wage.
They do not want to pay a living
wage. They are not interested in at
tracing the immigration of northern
Europe.
It is also significant that these
cheap labor advocates only favor the
literacy test being abolished or weak
ened. They are not interested in the
immigrants Americanizatlon or edu.
cation. What these employers want is
cheap labor. They do not care wheth-
er that labor becomes naturalized.
Lack of nerve is the only thing
that stops these cheap wage advo-
Gates from urging the importation of
coolies.
