Center-Road Hog Menace
to Traffic on Highways

One of the greatest menaces to
traffic on the streets, the boulevards
and even on the country highways is
the slow driver cruising down the
center of the thoroughfare That this
is the case is attested by hundreds of
letters to the American Automobile
association.
1.-The rules of the road require all
slowmoving traffic-whethe passenger
automobile, truck or bus-to keep to
the right near the curb. This rule is
violated every day, and all the time,
Everywhere may be found the slow
traveller, creeping down the middle of
the driveway, blocking traffic and
actually endangering the lives of
others.
Cant you do anything about the
man who has the middle of the road
compleX?" is the complaint of so
many letters reaching us that it looks
us If the road hog will never learn.

Good Lumber Necessary

If lumber is worked on the sob"

For that reason it is only good
business when building home to rely
upon some known lumber that Is man!

best security is in a trade-marked.

facturer must depend upon his lumber

There are many frame homes stand.
Ing today that We're built when the
United States was confined to the east,

that lumber now is prepared much,

so small they could not afford repairs.
Imagine present-day motorist
travelling over one of these roads and
being stopped every two or three
miles by gate which he could not
pass without paying toll.
Compare this with the cost of trav-
cling on a modern, paved highway.
1t will surprise many to learn that our
modern highway is the cheaper of the
two-far cheaper.
A hard surfaced pavement today
costs about SGT 900 per mile. Grading.
draining, fencing etc, bring the cost
of the whole improved road to about
$4,000 per mile, the actual cost de-
pending upon the locality where it is
built and the amount of grading re-
quired. At per cent the yearly in
terest on this total cost is $2,100. The
sum which must be put aside each
year to replace the pavement at the
end of 20 years is 5000. Mainf nee
may be estimated at 5000 yea. The
total yearly cost Of a mile of modern
pavement is then $3,207.
If an average of only 500 vehicles
per day passes over the mile of i'm
proved pavement the cost then is
only LIB cents per vehicle per mile
This is but little more than half what
our ancestors used to pay to travel
the mud and dust and ruts of the
good old days"

SMALL COST OF
MODERN HIGHWAY

Many are wont to- sigh for the sim
days"
They see the nation headed for the
Dow-WowS on a wave of eXtravagant
public expenditures, not realizing that
for many of our superior advantages
we pay far less-partly because there
are more of us-than our ancestors
paid for ways that were far from be-
ing as pleasant or contributing as
1luch to the happiness and fullness Of
)ife.
Take our public roads, for example.
dn the first years after the colonies
became republic, funds were so
'meager and the people so poor that
Abe commonwealth could not assume
the burden OF road building Instead
private companies were formed to
build and maintain turnpikes for
which service they were authorized
40 charge a toll for the use of the
road, says the Maine Motorist.
On June H. 1906, the first turnpike
company In New Hampshire was or
Eanized. A schedule of tolls running
srom one cent per mile for every ten
sheep or hogs up to three cents per
anile for wagons, stages, private car
stages and like conveyances drawn by
horses was legally permitted the com
pany.
These old roads were very poor
1tuts were left unsmoothed, bridges
sagged and fell in; vehicles were
lnired In the mud holes. Yet the toll
companies claimed their returns were

DAVIS SAYS SHACKS
HOUSE HALF ARMY
Women Are Forced to Inhabit
FIimsy Structures, Secre-
tary Tells G. 0. P.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January S.-Saying
that he wanted to make one plea
(which / know would appeal to the
women of the country If they were
familiar with the real conditions -
Secretary of War bright F. Davis
said today that unany American
soldiers and their wives and children
are living In shacks unfit for human
habitation.
/ One half of the Army personnel, he
told women attending luncheon Of
the womefl's National Republican
Club, is living either in tents. or in
these wartime shacks, hastily con-
structed for temporary use.
Their spirit is wonderful he said.
especially the women. But we should
not, either in justice or in decency,
require them to live under such con-
ditions.
Hospitals Are FIimsy.
I'm several posts our sick are being
cared for in hospitals of flimsy frame
construction, in constant danger of
a horrible calamity.
"a beginning has been made with
in the last year to remedy this de-
plorable state of affairs, but it will re-
quire constant effort for several
years. urge you not to permit
slackening of the effort to improve
our Army housing, which l have not
hesitated to call national disgrace" >"
Secretary Davis addressed the wom
enson the subject of national defense,
not advocating any definite figure as
the proper size for the Army, but fav
oring a definite, continuing policy
adequately carried out"
For Middle Course.
"The War Department is opposed"
he said in conclusion, ito comparative
would seek to militarize this country,
but 1t is also opposed to defenseless-
ness through unpreparedness.
"Militarism, which properly means
the domination of the civil state by
military influence, Is abhorrent to
American ideals. It Is utterly impos-
sibie under our form of government.
Quite properly, we have always held
that the military elements must be
kept subordinate to the civil. This is
sound American doctrine, with which
the War Department heartily agrees.
Heads Know War.
Both the civil and the military
heads of the department know what it
means to leave home family and
country and to endure the hardships,
the sacrifices, the horrors of war.
They know what war actually is,
and they want no more of it, as
long as war can honorably be
avoided. But they also know from
personal experience the terrible price
in precious lives unnecessarily sacri-
feed that this country has always
paid in the past because of it's unpre-
paredness. 1t is their duty not only
as public officials, but as Americans,
to so plan that If war is ever forced
upon us, this unnecessary sacrifice of
lives shall not occur again"

ARBITRATION PLAN
FINDS FAVOR HERE
Administration, However,
Withholds Comment on
Gales Suggestion.

President Gales suggestion that
Mexico would be willing to submit its
differences with the United States
over the new Mexican petroleum and
alien land laws to The Hague
tribunal, made to a group of Ameri
cans in Mexico City yesterday, struck
4 responsive chord in some quarters
here last night, although the admin
istration withheld comment.
Secretary Kellogg of che State De
partment. when informed of Presi-
dent Gales interview with the Ameri
can visitors, declined to comment
upon The Hague tribunal suggestion
He said that it had not been made
formally to the Government of the
United States. If such a proposition
is to be forthcoming, he indicated, it
should more properly come through
the regular channels rather than to
unofficial American visitors in
Mexico.
Finds Favor With Borah.
But while Secretary Kellogg was
reticient about the suggestion, Sen
atOf BOrah, chairman VI IHC Aoici6 II
relations committee, said:
Il think that the differences OF
the United States and Mexico over
the new land and petroleum laws
are very fit subjects for arbitration.
They are the kind of subjects which
should be arbitrated. They involve
property rights and the construction
of law and the Interpretation OF
treat ties and understandings"
No sovereignty of the United States
would be involved in the submission
of the claims of Americans to prop
erty in Mexico to The Hague tribunal
he pointed out
Senator Swanson, ranking Demo
cratic member of the foreign rela
tions committee. also took the view
that the submission of the differences
between the United States and Mexico
over the oil properties owned by
Americans in Mexico would be a
proper avenue of settlement.
Strange, Says Curtis.
IF the report that President Gales
is willing to submit these matters to
The Hague is true" said the Virginia
Senator, lit indicates a disposition on

GOULD DENIES PART
IN PAYING PREMIER
Senator Says Delivery of
100000 in 1912 Was
Without His Consent.
By the Associated Press.

During grilling examination before
Senate elections subcommittee yes
terday Senator Gould, Republican
Maine, steadfastly asserted his limo
cence of charges that in 1912 he
bribed premier of New Brunswick
Canada, 10 obtain railroad contract
The new Senator reiterated that he
knew his associates in the railroad
construction company had agreed te
pay 100000 to Premier F'lemniing
but that he did not know when il
was paid and that it was done without
his consent.
At no time did he spend any of the
company's money, he said, and all
checks that he drew were turned over
to Ross Thompson of Vancouver
Canada, one of his partners, who han.
died the finances
You might have signed the checks
to pay F'lemming,' suggested Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who is
prosecuting the case.
7 wouldn't say did or didn't" re-
piled Gould.
You never inquired who paid it or
from what fund it came?" pressed the
Montana Senator.
NO didn't" was the reply. "It
came out of the railroad comma nv's
funds. somehow. When heard about

mistake"

a political orga nizer of the Liberal
Party of New Brunswick. gave a diff
ferent version of the transa ction.
I'VE hadn't any doubt but that the
transaction was entirely between Mr..
Gould and Mr.. Flemming," he de.
clared. 1T is all news to me that his
associates were supposed to have paid
the money to Flemming. We under.
stood that Mr.. Gould was the whole
company and controlled all of the
money"
Was 1t regarded as a campaien
contribution or a bribe?" asked Chair.
man Gof. Republican, West Virginia.
we didn't know as to that" Mr..
Carter replied
Senator Gould stuck to his sto,,
OF Friday that his partners either had
to pay the 100000 or lose all of their
investments in the railroad.
Legitimate Business.

.. "oh, some" Gould replied
ITS rarity, isn't it?''
Il found 1t So

United states, Golf said, that il is
a strange thing that you can't go up
INTO one of the provinces of Canada
and do legitimate business without
giving a premier 100000"
Ihat's the situation, isn't it?" he
asked.
~ was then" Senator Gould said
Mr.. Carter took exception to the
statement. declaring that legitimate
business could be transacted in New
brunswick, and that Gould for wears
