LUCAS GOVERNOR;
ROSS IN NEW YORK

Frank E. Lucas. secretary of
state. is at the helm this week
down at the state capital and things
are running along in a ship-shape
manner. Governor Ross could not
resist the temptation to meet with
the Jeffersonians in convention in
New York City and will be away
about two weeks. Although he has
stated that when his term as gov
ernor expired he would retire to
private life, his actions indicate a
much greater interest in politics
than he would admit and two years
hence will probably unfold more of
the governors political ambitions.

MODERN TRAFFIC
 REQUIRES PAVING

The increasing use of motor driven ve- hicles on city streets has material! changed the requirements for paving sur faces. It is safe to say that 90 per cent of most street traffic Is now self propelled and moves at speeds many times greater than before.
 Efficiency in street transportation re- quires a pavement which is so hard and smooth, and yet of skidproof texture, that the movement of traffic will be made easier instead of being retarded Wheels must give instant traction when power is applied, and must not tend to stick or cling to the pavement. Every ounce of power is needed to do its work of turning the wheels.

editor goes somewhat into the early history of concrete roads as well as taking pains to quote recent figures per tinent to the great mileages of this type of highway that ere being built. He says:
 "In 1913 the proclamation of the Lin coin highway stated the purpose ot the Lincoln Highway association to be: "To immediately promote and procure the establishment of continuous improved highway from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, open to lawful traffic of all de- scription, without toll charges and to be of concrete wherever practicable" 1"
 'aTo be of concrete wherever prac- ticable.' Why? !,
 "Why did the association go out of its way to specify a desirable material for the paving of what was destined to become America's greatest road? Large ly because the men who founded the association which undertook the promo tion of the Lincoln highway had had special opportunity of observing the concrete roads which were being built in Wayne county, Michigan, in which Detroit is located.
 4HC W dSuC IOdu under the chairmanship of Edward N. Hines, in 1908 built the first mile of concrete road that had ever been laid. By 1913 a considerable mileage had been paved, the experimental stage was passed and the founders of the Lincoln Highway association were convinced that concrete was the proper material from the standpoint of durability and EOr ka oE ,l,y arterial highways. In the educational tion was planning it was felt that the merits of this material warranted spe- cial emphasis.
 $50 Miles of Concrete
 ''In the light of the Lincoln Highway associations original declaration to pro- mote a highway from coast to coast to be of concrete wherever practical, it Is interesting to learn that now, after ten years, very close to $50 miles of the transcontinental roads are paved with concrete-nearly 20 per cent of the distance between New York and San Francisco.
 "That the early judgment of the Lin coin highway founders, based on Wayne county's experience. has been proven sound by the passing years is indi- cated by the astonishing fact that 79,- 100000 square yards of concrete pave ment were completed and opened to traf- tlc during the construction season of 1923. Of this mount 55,OOO,OOO square yards-the equivalent of almost 5,20O miles of concrete road IS feet wide were added to the nations permanent highway system. The balanceA24, ,O0O,- OOO square yards-was placed on city streets and alleys.
 That amount of concrete paving con- stitutes world record for any one year. The state of Illinois where with difficulty the Lincoln Highway associa- tion through the county authorities built feeding lines of narrow concrete road on the Lincoln way here in the mud in 1914 and '15, completed a thousand miles of concrete road con- struction in 1923-the outstanding &C., complishment of year of record break. ing road improvement"

SCHOOLS SHOULD BE SAFE FROM FIRE
Too Little Interest Is Taken In
 Safeguarding Children

The Wisconsin industrial commis- sivTI says there are only two classes of buildings where attendance is invol- untary. The first is schools and the second is jails.
 A man can move his family out of an apartment or dwelling that is not safe, or he may refuse to stay at a hotel that is not thoroughly fire-proof, but too often he is inclined to take but little interest in the fire-safeness of the building in which his children spend great part of their time. Periodical inspection and fire drill are instituted so that in the event of a disaster the loss of life will be mini mixed. While fire drills are practiced in most public schools, the need of fire-proof construction in the buildings themselves is too often given scant at tention, even though it is common knowledge that there is in the United States a school fire every day in the year.
 The parents of school children who visit school buildings and see the con- ditions under which their children are living for several hours a day are in- variably surprised at the fire hazards that abound. They find that many of

When men consider the advantages of paving they naturally view the benefits more from an investment standpoint than any other.

Farming as a Business.

President Coolidge, in his address
before the .Associa alton of Land Grant
Colleges last night, stressed the point
that agriculture is now more than
mere production; that it has become
business. The farmer must be a
merchant as well as a producer of
crops. He must study and apply him
self to the principles of vending his
goods. Government can aid to some
extent, but the farmer himself must
be his own marketer.
\ great change has come to pass
in the course of the years in the
status of the farmer. Formerly his
market was close at hand, with an
immediate demand for his products
He could not dispose OF his goods at
a distance. for transportation was
difficult. With the development Of
railroads. and latterly the improve
ment OF highways. the range of the
farm products widened But the
farmer continued to turn his crops
over to the nearest buyer and allow
others To conduct the business of final
disposal.
In the evolution of the new process
of marketing the farmer has suf-
fered. He gets the smallest return.
Middlemen and wholesalers. and
finally retailers, take their profits.
which are in the main larger than
his own. The farmers profits have
been in most cases merely bare liv-
ing. rarely amounting TO enough to
permit an accumulation of means.
The President urges that the farm
ers of the country get closer to the
final consumer and insure a larger
reward for their labor and risks. He
suggests cooperative marketing.
which has been attempted in some
sections, as the general rule for the
American agriculturist. In speaking
to the farmers he knows his subject,
for he has had an experience of his
own in farm work. He knows the toll
that is necessary for the production
Of crops. He knows the slender mar
gin on which the farmer works.
Direct Government aid would be of
no value as bounty. 1t would merely
add to the cost of products TO the
consumer without relatively increas-
ing the farmers earnings. Far more
effective is a system of direct market
ing through cooperation. benefiting
both the producer and the consumer.
In his speech last night the Presi-
dent was addressing teachers of agri-
culture. Through them he will reach
the farmers themselves, who are
learning lessons other than those
pertaining to the culture of the soil.
They are becoming business men, and
to the extent that they combine the
roles of tillers and sellers they will
redeem themselves from their present
unsatisfactory condition.

ton for the distinction which has
been bestowed upon him now is not in
question. 1t is appropriate that the
executive leader of the successful
party should occupy a position Of i'm
portance at Washington to insure a
close connection with the Executive
in whose election he has just assisted.
Notable precedent for the advance
ment of Mr.. Butler to the Senate Is
afforded by the case of Mark Hanna,
who in 1897 went by appointment to
the Senate to succeed John Sherman,
who lad been named Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Hanna's selection proved

The Government Building Bill.

The prospect for enactment of the
Smoot bill for a comprehensive Gov
ernment building program at Wash
ington with an expenditure OF $50
10000 in five years is encouraging.
This bill, which was much discussed
at the late session of Congress, was
favorably reported TO the Senate and
is now on the Senate calendar for
action. It would probably have been
passed but for the press of other bust
ness in the closing days of the ses-
sion.
The public building situation IN
Washington is grave. Government
offices are spread about the city in
rented structures which We're planned
and built with no reference to the
use to which they are being put.
Much Government business is carried
on in temporary structures construct
ed in haste on the breaking out of the
war, and which are now kept in re-
pair at high outlay of public money.
The superintendent of public build
ings and grounds has reported that
it ought to be possible to use these
buildings for five years. The infer
ence Is that at the end Of five years,
Notwithstanding costly repairs, these
buildings will be on the point of col
lapse. Government business has i'm.
