In reply Buckley jerked second

One shot sped past the detectives ear

AID
FOR HIGHWAYS
GIVEN BOOST
North Dakota To Be Givel,
$500 Per Cent of Cost
of Building Roads

North Dakota will be paid 68.2s
per cent Of the cost Of building fed
eral highways in North Dakota, un-
der change in the law. but the al
lotment of $1,1S0,6oO a year for road
building purposes will not meet the
demands in the state in the next
two years, federal and state highway
officials predict.
Under the road plan now existing
in North Dakota, most of the federal
aid offered the state has been met
by counties. With the new law 60
ing into effect July /, creating an ex-
elusive state highway fund, and with
the change in the federal law making
1t possible for states without ade-
quate laws to continue matching
federal aid with county money un-
til Feb. Is, 1928, instead of Nov. 9,
1926. real boom in highway build
ing is predicted.
lhe counties will be forced to put
up about $548,000 to take up the aid
offered North Dakota this year, ac-
cording to S. r. Stark, in charge of
federal highway work in North Da-
kota. The state would then have
about $1,718,000 to spend on federal
aid highways. The cost per mile to
the counties will be materially re-
duced from the present figure, un-
der which so per cent must be paid
by the counties. Under the new
law, counties must pay 3l.72 per cent
of the cost.
The federal aid roads of the state
have averaged in cost $2,794 per
mile. and under the new ruling the
federal government would pay all of
this exceeding $835.25 per mile.

SHAkEUP IN BUREAU
Radical Changes in Policies
May Necessitate Ousting
Of Department Heads
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington, April 2.-Putting
farming on business basis is the
problem Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine is trying to solve. 1t in
wolves what amounts practically to
revolution in the department Of
which he is the new head.
Past secretaries of agriculture
have concentrated on the task Of
teaching the farmer how to farm.
The new secretary's experience
tells him that the present-day farm
er has pretty thoroughly learned
how.
tie doesn't propose that the de-
paJtment shall abandon the study Of
agriculture as a science, but he does
maintain that this is no longer the
principal part Of it's job.
What does it avail the farmer,
Secretary Jardine asks, to know all
about the science of agriculture if
he can't make it pay? If he can't,
why can't he? Because he isn't
enough of a business man, the sec
retary holds. SO now, the essential
thing is to develop him into one
still farmer, but in addition to that,
a capable man Of affairs.
No, says Secretary Jardine, ability
to make his land produce adequately
isn't what the farmer of 1925 lacks.
He lacks access to such credits as
are available, on sound security, to
other business men, to enable him to
finance his enterprise, as a merchant
does his store. He needs facilities
for profitably marketing what he
does produce.
The secretary wants legislation
which will assist agriculture to OBJ
tain the credits it needs and is en-
titled to. He wants to simplify the
marketing of farm products, to cut
down inte ermediate handling, between
the farmer and the ultimate con-
sumer.'
Then, when he's been trained in
business methods, Secretary Jardine
is confident the American farmer
will be all right. Pricc-fixing, cur
tailment of production and other re-
gulation of details he considers i'm
practical.
These are President Coolidge's
views, too. 1t was because Secretary
Jardine reflects them so accurately
that the president picked him out of
a large field for the portfolio Of ag-
ricuiture.
a good many of the. old timers in
the department, however, don't like
10 radical a departure from the poll
cies they have been familiar with for
years, and decided shakeup proba-
bly, will be necessary before the new
regime functions just as it should.
Indeed, number of changes have
been made already and more are re-
ported in prospect.
