Disbursement of Public Funds

BYE. E. DUEFY

ny L. Il DGEEI
Where does money go when it i
spent, has been a query on the I'll
of tongues since the invention @
money some 5000 years ago.
In the case of roads, however. tn
Iowa State Highway Commission
has prepared an Illuminating ans
wer. All things considered, Iabol
receives a trifle more than half O
the construction cost of a mile O.
pavement. The cost of stone aggre
gate, cement, reinforcing steel
! freight and other construction costs
account for the remainder of the
charge.
In Iowa the construction cost of a
mile of pavement has averaged $685.
1874. OF this amount So per cent, or
$13,706 goes to labor through var
iOus channels.
Costs for a mile of highway are
distributed as follows: Stone aggre-
gate, $3,441; cement, $5,856; rein
forcing steel, $3.50; freight, $3.50;
grading, $4,000; miscellaneous con-
tractors costs, including profits, S.
SIT.
From these items labor receives
the following amounts: Stone aggre-
gate, $1,032; cement, $3,116; rein
forcing steel, $255; freight, $2,44S;
grading, $1,50O; and the labor por-
tion of miscellaneous contractors
costs, S6,S55.
From these studies it is apparent
that the circulation Of money is not
unlike the circulation of blood
Eventually it gets back to the start
ing point. The general citizenry Of
Iowa for instance, through the re-
Gently passed S1O0,OO0,00O bond is
sue, will pay for the construction of
some 3,400 additional miles of paw
ing. This program will mean that
Iowa labor alone will be benefited to
the tune of more than $50,000,000.
With this considerable pavement |
mileage reducing car operating costs
If Iowa motorists to a point where
he bond issue charges will be more
han compensated for, it is obvious
hat bond issues and improved road
programs are decidedly good bust
less. Some students of economics
,oint out that this very progressive
less of state and local governments
md the resultant wide distribution
# funds has in no small part ac-
ounted for current prosperity.

Miss Kern has been a very likable
and efficient instructor AS coach
of the various dodgeball teams she
has consistently turned out Win
ners. Undoubtedly much of her
success in coaching the boys and
girls can be traced back to her
nigh school days. She was a sue
oessful forward, playing two years

cam. Incidentally these teams
