 sThe highway department has nothing whatsoever to conceal in it's relations with the Vito Construction Company. The records of it's business relations with Vito are open Co mspee- ton at any time during office hours by any responsible citizen.

 "Whatever business the X. Vito Construction Corporation. or 4. Vito, has had with the state highway de partment since Jnly l. 1928, has been received because he was low bidder. He filed sealed bids. accompanied by surety company bonds for one-third of the total amount of the work, guaranteeing the good faith of the bids. which were opened and read with all other bids at a public letting, as prescribed by law, duly advertised, and in the presence of the commis- sioner and all other bidders, as we'll as any other persons desiring to be pres cnt.

EOUALIZING NAVIES

1t is hard to quarrel with the statement OF the
congressman who says: "The President should either
call conference of the naval to limit the cruis
er strength urge Congress to build such ships as
will make certain that the navy is second to no other
navy"
The celebrated Washington arms conference
agreement assumed that the American navy would be
kept to parity with the British navy we'll main
tain proper balance of the various classes of ships II
this is being DONE it seems logical to do It, unless
the maximum strength of cruisers and other types IN
which our navy happens to be weaker than Its quota
should be further reduced by new conference.
Enthusiasm for naval construction wanes
somewhat however, when is learned that the cruisers
alone required to balance our navy with England's
would cost S308 0C0 and that matters stand,
our navy is spending right now more than twice as
much as it did before the and more than being
spent by England or any other power.
Clearly, the war to end war; has failed of It's
purpose if naval army burdens must still be two or
three times what they before fought that war
If it merely question of equalizing navy with
Great Britainsand those of the other powers hardly
count in conparson-and if it is possible to do that by
getting Britain to cut her navy instead of by increas
ing ours, why spend the extra money?

BUSINESS OPTIMISM

1t is easy to find, in the natlonal business s'eo"

tic than pessmistc.
Wall Street is gloomy, because Wall street Is suo-

looking only at one side Sales it true, have s'o"eo
down little and new orders are coming III more
slowly in some lines and some industries have cur
tailed production. ..,+
Against these facts arc the equally incontrovert-
ble and more remarkable facts, vouched Tor oy ul-
biased observers that railroads carrying enormous
quantities of freight that the business OF mail order
houses has increased and that the consuming puonc
TODAY is probably consuming more merchanolse thah
it did before.
If consumption is great, why are not proauc-
ton and distribution equally great? The answer IS tnat
retailers are mostly buying from hand to mouth, so
that there is large stock of goods on hand any
where and goods being absorbed by the puolc as
rapidly as they produced, or even little faster.
This situation natural enough wnen you
think it over because at the present level OF wages ana
salaries the great of people have larger spend
ing power than they ever had beforehand spendmg
power inevitably makes good business.
The shortage of goods itself is an indication that
the dullness in some industries hardly last long,
The machinery of production and distribution has to
keep on grinding, to keep pace with the demands OF
consumption, and any change the next few months Is
likely be speeding up rather than greater SLOW
