Misleading; Europe

How foreign opinion can be mlsled oy
the expressions of unofficial Americans
on our policies is evidenced in a recent
letter in the Manchester Guardian, by a
prominent EngliShman who had just re-
turned from the United States
This traveller speaks of the sourness
and marrow rieidity" of President Cool-
idges language on the question of war
debts and contrasts this with the "eener-
ouS" statements of certain Columbia Uni
versity professors on the subject, empha-
sizing the fact that the debt plea for can
collation. was signed by Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, "a lifelong Republican
who had been freely mentioned as a
candidate for governor in New York.
This English traveller intimates further
that this expression for drastic reduction
of the debt is one commonly held in the
economic and historical departments o.
most American universities. and other
centers for the discussion of foreign
affairs.
All of which nay be true, but if the
writer believes that this indicates that
tue view of columbia professors represents
any considerable section of American
public opinion he is due for a sad disillus
ionment For in America as well asels :
where no regions are more completely out
OF touch with public opinion, as general
rule, than the departments of economics
and history in many universities.
The American people as a whole, Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike, stand will
President Coolidge in his forrign debt
policy. They do not regard this policy as
necessarily 'sour" or narrowly rigid :
They remember what we spent in the
war and what we got out of it, and theA
know that in this regard the allies
Jared mnch better than we. But the
point to be remembered is that the only
effect of professional outbursts on our
foreign policy is felt in Europe and not in
the United States.

THE continued building boom, in re-
1 quiring more paint, has helped the
flax industry, of the country, accord
ing to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation. Linseed oil is the chief
ingredient of paints, and this oil comes
from flax, which has become am i'm
portant crop in many of the Western
states, the Foundation points out.
According to the latest official esti-
mates, around 100000 bushels Of
flax will be produced by American
farmers this year. The crop was cut
short because of midsummer drought
in the chief tax-growing sections.

- IN
EXPENDITURE FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
The total expenditure of the state
highway departments In 1925 for road
and bridge construction on the sew
eral state highway systems amounted
TO S649, ,125, ,101, according to reports
from the highway departments just
compiled by the bureau of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. OF the total expenditure
59.6 per cent was spent for road and
bridge construction. 1874 per cent for
maintenance and 3.5 per cent for ma
terials and equipment. Administra
tive and engineering costs accounted
for At per cent Of the total, interest
and principle payments on bonds rs
per cent, and miscellaneous expendi
lures amounted to go per cent of the
total.
To meet these expenses the high
way departments received from vari
Gus sources during the year total
income of S7S0,oSl .292 of which S115.-
656,721 was available as a balance
from the previous years operations, so
that the amount of money raised dur
ing the year was only S664, ,424.5T1.
OF the latter amount 435 per cent
was raised by means of motor vehicle
license fees and gasoline taxes, 30 per
cent from the former and the balance
from the latter. The sale of bonds
realized 21.3 per cent of the total for
the year, and federal aid received
from the national government amount
ed to 1879 per cent. Funds trans
ferred 20 the state by the counties
and other local governments amounted
to 10.S per cent, and the balance was
made up of funds derived from special
highway taxes and appropriations and
from miscellaneous sources as fol
lows: Taxes, 1873 per cent; appropria-
tons, so per cent; and miscellaneous,
% per cent
Although the years expenditure
were slightly greater than the prNvi-
GUS years total of S605, 5,665, POT, the
balance of S130,956 191 carried over
into the current year was even greater
than the amount of unexpended funds
carried over from 1924.
One of the most significant facts
brought out by the report is the re
markable increase in the percentage
of the total highway income derived
from motor vehicle and gasoline taxes
and the falling off in the percentage
representing real and personal prop
erty taxation There has been steady
tendency in this direction since 1921
In that year the combined income
from motor vehicle licenses and gaso.
line taxes amounted to 25.9 per cent
the gas tax revenue amounting to less
than l per cent. In 1925 the income
produced from these sources was 43.T
per cent of the years total and the
gas taxes alone amounted to 1875 pei
cent.
In the same period taxes on prop
erty specifically for road purposes
have dropped from 11.2 per cent tt
3.3 per cent OF the years income.
Funds raised by the sale of bonds
were also a smaller percentage Of the
total in 1925 than in 1921, being 21.;
per cent In 1926 as compared with 27.S
In 1921.
The expenditures by the various
state highway departments during tht
year are given in the table below
