Sculptor Denies Estimating
Need of $4,000 for
Starting Work.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., November
Efficiently it was feared that the
great project of carving 200-foot
heads of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Roosevelt on the face of
Rushmore Mountain. in the Black
Hills, had gone on the rocks. This
was due to the circulation of a story
TO the effect that Gutzon Borglum,
noted sculptor, had intimated that the
residents of South Dakota would
have to contribute $4,000 in cash
before he would be able to procure
the remainder of the money needed
from outside the State.
Mr.. Borglum, who is in San Anto-
MO, Tex, carving a group for that
city, denies the statement. The re-
port circulated in South Dakota was
said to have had its origin from men
who attended a dinner at Rapid City,
near Rushmore Mountain, where Mr.
borgium was a guest, and spoke.

when number of people owe mon
ey to one particular individual thew
are apt to be drawn together bv
common interest and common nol-
ICY This is even more true Of M
tons. AS result we are apt to sea
during the next few years a gradual
drawing together of the nations of
Europe with regard to their fiscal
and political conduct toward the Uni
ted States.
1t does not take profound student
OF international politics to see that
the situation is not altogether allur-
ing from the standpoint of the United
States and that it behooves ms to ha
particularly careful what sort Of pol-
litlcal arrangements the people Of the
United States enter into through
their government, with the govern
ments of Europe.
Any so-called concert of nations
we may enter into will not be an or
ganization of individual nations
each with a different policy and
different viewpoint. 1t will be an
organization in which the United
States and it's economic policies will
be directly opposed to the economic
policies Of other nations. II we were
in the League Of Nations now, for
instance, it would not be real league
with one worldwide aim, but a league
with a European viewpoint, and an
American viewpoint, and of course
Uncle Sam would be greatly out
numbered He is the creditor and
the nations Of Europe are the debt
ors.
Uncle Sam has an economic policy
Of his own including the system Of
protection and the restriction Of i'm.
migration To this policy the nations
of Europe are Numerically opposed,
because it will be to their interest il
they con pay us in cheaply made for
eign goods and through the savings
of their peasant population which
would flock here if the immigration
bars were lifted
AS result Of this difference of
viewpoints the United States would
be much more isolated, if bound up
by international agreements in al
vance, and consequently unable to
steer a clear course of its own.
The moment we get into the league
or are entangled in its commitments
in any way, there will come the de-
mand for lowering of our tariffs so
that Europe can pay us in cheap
goods, and lowering Of our imm-
grafton barriers so that Europe can
send US her surplus population. And
the cry will be re-echoed by our own
internationalists of every brand AL
every school For the same people
who want to get us tangled up with
Europe by political commitments ere
those who are opposed to our talk
and immigration policies, who prefe',
either for sentimental or selfish PR
poses, the European viewpoint.
That is why it behooves the United
States to be very careful about max
ing any commitments to Europe.

HIGHWAY WORK
IN n. D. GROWS
VERY RAPIDLY
Indications Are For Heavy
Program During Coming
Year, Is Report
FIGURES ARE GIVEN

Increased interest in good roads
throughout the state is reflected in
figures given out by the state high
way commission, covering the last
two years. Indications are, accord
ing to the statement, that an excep
tionally heavy road program will be
requested by counties during the
present year.
The growth of the good roads
movement is shown in statistics as
follows:
On January ], 1928, a total of $40
miles Of earth graded, 81 miles of
gravel surfaced, and 10 miles of
concrete paved highways had been
completed and accepted by the Fed
eral Bureau of Pacific Roads.
At that time there was under con-
struction, but not completed, 63o
miles OF earth grading, 1853 miles of
gravel surfacing and LOS miles Of
concrete paving.
From January l, 1923 to December
81, 1924, the Highway Commission
placed under contract Il total of 845
miles of concrete paved highways.
During the same period there was
completed 1,l35 miles of earth grad
ed, 455 miles of gravel surfaced and
Al miles Of concrete paved highways.
Total federal aid-state highway
road mileage completed and accept
ed by the Federal Bureau of Roads
on January l. 1925. was l.945 miles
of earth graded, $40 miles of gravel
surfaced and &C miles of concrete
paved highways.
At present 342 miles of earth grad
ing, 100 miles of gravel surfacing
and "a miles of concrete paving are
now under construction.
Total road work requested by coun-
ties Of 1925 construction will include
496 miles of earth grading, 22S miles
