"SAY 1T WITH SLOGANS" AND
WIN AN ELECTION-MAYBE

A Maryland woman has written a
slogan for the Presidential campaign
of 1928. Will it help the Democrats
win?
Maybe! You never can tell, fol-
past history shows that good
slogan has put more than one Presi-
dent into the White House, and to-
day Americans are more slogan
conscious" than ever before.
If you don't remember what the
winning slogans of past campaigns
were and what this newest candidate
for campaign-winning honors is,
there's an article in this issue of
The Miner that will tell you. It's
headed "Say it With Slogans" and
is written by Elmo Scots Watson,
whose articles are regular features
of this paper. Be sure to read it,

PAVEMENT SAVES
COST IN Z YEARS
MILE OF CONCRETE CARRYING
1000 CARS A DAY SAVES
OWNERS $21, 900 IN YEAR.

The new pavement on trunk high
way No. l which was formally
opened last Saturday, will pay for
itself in less than two years, &C
cording to Commissioner G. M.
Babcock.
The old road which the new pave
ment replaced was never good
road, and the difference in the cost
| of operating an automobile on
pavement and on fair gravel road
averages 3 cents a mile, including
the saving on gasoline, tires and
wear and tear on the car. With an
average traffic of 1000 cars per day,
this means that each mile of the
new pavement will save motorists
$50 per day. This would mean that
for 365 days mile of paving
would save $4,000! Even allow
ling for a drop in traffic during the
winter months, the saving will be
more than enough to pay the en-
tire cost of paving, grading, bridges,
right-of-way and other construc-
ton costs. This does not make any
allowance for the saving in time to
the average traveller.
The 1926 Minnesota highway traf-
| fic census shows an average of
about 1900 vehicles per day on the
pavements which were open pre-
vious to that time. Since many of
these had been in service from one
to five years, a few of them longer,
these pavements have long ago
saved motorists more than their
entire cost.
On a drive of $50 miles on pave
ment, the average motorist saves
at least $500, compared to the
best gravel road, $3.50 compared
to a fair gravel road, and several
times that amount if the road is so
poor that he suffers serious dam
age to the car or has to be towed
la few times. Yet the average car
owner on a f50-mile trip pays
about 15 cents gas tax, and on a
pro rata basis, about 80 cents
license fee. And the strange part
of it is that instead of paying more
for good roads, the better the road
the less is his gas tax.
From the standpoint of road
costs alone, the traffic on more than
half of the unpaved trunk highways
is SO heavy that the saving in main
tenance if these roads were paved
would none than pay the interest
on the investment, plus liberal
allowance for depreciation, Mr..
Babcock said. But the saving in
automobile operating costs would
be much greater than the saving in
road maintenance.
