JEFFERSON MAY GET FIRST SLICE
 OF STATE BONDS
Three Highways Expected To Be Among Initial
 Projects

Three Jefferson county roads are ex- pected to be among the first construct ed from the sale of s7,OO0,OO0 road bonds by the state of Alabama. accord- ing 10 c. J. Rogers. county highway engineer. These roads will have to- tai length of approximately 24 miles.
 No official information had been re- ceived from the state highway depart ment that any certain project would be included. but he had been unoffi- cially told of plans for inclusion of these three. Mir. Rogers said. A let ter from John A. Rogers. chairman of the state highway commission, to Dr. George C. Dobbs of Warrior promised that q one-mle paved road through the town of Warrior would be constructed as soon as possible after sale of the road bonds March 17. The letter also stated that Jefferson county was enti- tied to $040.0OO as it's share of the $7OOO,OOO state bond issue for roads.
 The three projects expected to be constructed first for Jefferson county are as follows: Birmingham to War rior, 16 miles; the Montgomery high way from the top of Shades mountain to Cahaba river bridge. z miles, and from Huffman to Roebuck, 1 mile.
 Mir. Rogers said the county highway department had petitioned the state highway department to construct sev- eral other roads in the county. totaling C miles, but added that it was unlike ly that all of these requests would be granted, as they would require more than the $940,00O to which the county is entitled.
 These include Mt. Pinson to Village Spring, 14 miles; Bessemer to the Tus- caloosa county line. 16 milse: Birming- ham to Argo, 13 miles Bankhead high way. from Adamsville to Walker coun- ty line. 12 miles, and Birmingham to Leeds. 12 miles.

Germans now need only pay such
taxes as Frenchmen and Englishmen
have to pay in order to make large
annual reparation payments.
Dawes Plan
The plan is based upon the we'll
known ssentials-balanced budget
and stabilized CURRENCY. In order to
balance the German public income and
expense at least three steps are pro-
posed, the chief of which is increased
taxes to be drawn from railways and
other industries. Steps are also pro-
posed to bring German wealth back
from the foreign countries where it
has fed.
An immediate help. a large loan,
is to be made to Germany by the
allies Along with the balanced bud
get must go a stable currency, and
the plan provides a new bank TO be
on a gold basis, the gold being pro-
vided by means Of the foreign loan
already referred to. The bank would
be largely managed by the allies, for
obvious reasons.
No one can say what the chances
of success are The chief obstacle
appears to lie in the German attitude.
At least a better understanding
among the allies has been reached.
and the issue has been cleared up.
If Germany refuses to pay now, the
world will know better where the fault
lies.
Effects on Industry
General Dawes himself says: RE
lection of these proposals by the Ger
man government means the deliberate
choice of a continuance of economic
decentralization eventually involving
her people in hopeless misery"
If we suppose that in time the re-
port Is accepted and the machinery of
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-04-14

administration works, what will the
effect be on our industry?
We may admit at once that the
general sterilization Of world pro-
duction and trade will have a broad
beneficial result by which in the long
run we will benefit A settlement
of the F'ranco-German situation would
remove tremendous uncertainties and
thereby encourage trade and COM
MERGE everywhere. The wild f1uctua-
ton of exchange rates would cease,
and the supply of capital could settle
to its normal level.
Benefits and Drawbacks
Another result would come in the
shape of increased purchasing power,
first in Germany and second in
countries dependent on German pros
perity.
The reduction of unemployment
abroad backed by more favorable ex-
change rates would certainly favor
our exports of grain and meat pro,
ducts. to the benefit of the farmer.
In fact, our raw material industries
would stand to gain directly by the
reparation settlement.
A number cd drawbacks:
l. There would be a withdrawal
from our industries Of European capt.
tai, which had been sent over here be
cause of unsettled conditions abroad.
2. Our manufacturers would meet
increased competition in foreign mar
kets, as for example, in the case of
steel.
3. We would be called upon to take
larger imports. The large loans called
for under the Dawes plan would be
largely foated in this country and
would be paid chiefly in goods sent
here under the more favorable ex-
change rates that would result.
