Indiana Is Building Coun-
try Roads Out Of Gas Tax
Three-fourths of Farms Located on
Surfaced Highways, Minnesota
Has One-third

f1as One-thlrd
What kind of a road system is
most desirable? One where there
are surfaced roads running to
three-fourths of the farms of the
state? Or one where only a third
of the farms are located on sur
faced roads?
Members of the state commit
tee working for the passage of the
gasoline tax amendment raised the
question this week as they made
final plans for getting out big
vote in the rural districts for the
amendment, which would authorize
the use of a third of the proceeds
of the gasoline tax on the second
airy roads.
The question was prompted by a
comparison of the road systems of
Minnesota and Indiana as disclos-
ed by the United States Census for
Agriculture. In Minnesota, where
efforts of the state have been
centered largely on trunk high,
ways, the census shows that two
thirds of the farms are located on
dirt roads, and the men who live
on them must battle with mud
roads every spring.
But Indiana has followed a diff
ferent policy. 1t gives third OF
the gasoline tax to the local units
and has stressed for some years
the development of secondary roads
along with trunk highways. What
| is the situation there? Three

the body and should be studied and
treated from that standpoint. How
ever, there is one apparent excep-
ton. Occasionally, more often in
young adults, high blood pressure
is discovered for which no cause
can be ascertained after most
painstaking examinations and tests.
This is termed essential hyperion
neutrality-suspicious. being the word
used by physicians for blood pres
sure. Many doctors consider this
a true disease in itself, for which
there is no specific treatment other
than the simple hygienic measures
mentioned later. it is rarely that
individuals with this type of hyper
tension experience any unusual
symptoms or discomfort.
CAS- can readily be imagined if
high arterial tension persists, the
arteries themselves later may be-
come diseased and arterio-scler-
osis or hardening of the arteries
chronic kidney disease and enlarg-
ed heart result.
"Just what can be done to pre-
vent this condition known as high
blood pressure? Obviously the an
swer is to discover and eliminate as
far as possible the underlying caus-
es. The periodic health examina-
ton, especially from early adult
life on, during which chronic in
fections such as those of :. the
teeth, tonsils, sinuses, gall bladder
or pelvic organs may be noted and
treated is of the greatest value in
the prevention of apprehension"

committee says. at ordinarily in
creases about half a point pei
year of age so that the average
normal for a man of sixty is about
40. This is accounted for by
the fact that the arteries tend to
become less elastic as we grow
older. Highblooo pressure means
that this average normal is defin-
nitely and persistently increased
by at least fifteen points.
"It has been demonstrated that
these increases are due to changes
in the heart and blood vessels eth
er from diseased conditions in these
organs or by the influence of toxins
or poisons in the blood which cause
the arterial walls to contact. These
toxins may result from acute o.
chronic infections; may come from
intoxications as the long continued
excessive use of alcohol, tea or
coffee; or may be produced by ex-
cessive in eating when more food
is taken than can be used by the
body. 1t is believed, too, that ov-
erwork, both mental and physical
at times has tendency to raise
blood pressure possibly through
the influence of so-called fatigue
poisons.'
High blood pressure, therefore,
is usually but symptom of a di-
seased or disordered condition in
