MORE HIGHWAYS NEEDED

The chief point to be consider.
ed with paved highways is that
they should be built to carry the
necessary traffic rather than to
be poorly or cheaply construct.
ed.
The public should be educated
to consider the value of good
roads to increase human comfort
and save time and money.
Model paved roads which will
give the maximum of service
must be smooth, safe, rainproof
and frost proof, and have a resi-
lient cushion surface to absorb
the shock and vibration of mo
dern auto and truck traffic.
State lines should no longer
be drawn in transportation mat
ters, and legislatures should act
to make uniform highway rules
and regulations. together with
laws as to automobile licenses
and fees.
More than sixty electric rail,
ways in twenty three states now
operate buses for feeders and
extension units.
Paved highways must become
feeders to rail lines and not de
structive competitors.
AS the road tax bill is one of
the principal items of public ex
pense and as the country needs
greatly increased miles of hard
surfaced roads it is necessary
that public officials approve only
such road construction as has
demonstrated it's ability to with
stand ira ffic impact over a long
period of years in actual use.-

FARM CONDITIONS DISCUSSED.

Secretary Chassel of the Farm
Mortgage Bankers Association
in. discussing the value of the
farmers dollar and the Back to
the Farm" movement, says that
the success of agriculture de
pends upon the exercise of the
same common sense as that
which is used in other business.
He made plain that we do not
need more men competing on the
farms but better European and
home markets, more city con.
sumers. He said:
The total amount of agricul.
tural property in this country is
something more than $7O,0OO,.
600. 900, the total amount of agri
culture debt secured by mort.
gage was about So, 900, 900, 900 in
1920. Allowing for increase in
mortgage debts, the 1923 farm

$11 .0C0. 100000.

come. the we'll placed farm mort
gage with productive acres be.
hind it will always be a safe in.
vestment. Barring accidents, an
era of great prosperity is before
the United States. and agricul,
ture is in a position to derive the
greatest benefit"
Investment bankers and farm
mortgage bankers are doing a
work of great value to the ma
tion in showing the public the
folly of placing their hard earn
ed savings in wildcat stock spe-
culating schemes when industry
aud agriculture are crying for
every available dollar with abso
lutely safe security and regular
income return behind the loan.
