MEND THE COUNTRY ROADS

The Times-News hears complaint about
the condition of country roads In henaer-
son county. After passing through the WIN
ter the unpaved roads are in condition 10
afford reasonable grounds in many cases
for such complaints. The freezing ana
tRawing and wear and tear OF usage
through the cold months shows telling Ell
feets on the soil roads; and the fact that
many of them bear comparatively heavy
traffic, along with the paved roads, ADDS
10 the destructive results of use Of these
roads.
The Times-News does not know that the
highway department is to be charged with
neglect of the roads in particular cases, al
though we have heard such charges made
by-eitizens; but, let US simply say that with
the passing of winter the country roads
need attention. They should be carefully
and as skilfuily as possible scraped and
mended, and this should be done promptly;
otherwise they will be source of great
discomfort to the people who travel them
and will bring on the authorities an ava
lahche of criticism, which, possibly, in
some cases, will not be deserved.
Many miles of country roads are not in
vising at this time. They need the atten-
ton and efforts of the road builders. This
newspaper urges prompt attention by the
authorities, patient attitude by the popu-
lace, and cooperation on the part of all
for betterment of country road conditions

IrALY,s FIANCIAL PROBLEM

Italy has . reached state which must be al
most unprecedented for modern country even
in time of war, in which Government expenditure
out of loans is equal about double the total ma
tiona savings. This leaves, of course, no savings
at all for all private and industrial purposes.
And it means that the excess of 8O,OOOOOO
pounds or so of Government loan expenditure over
and above the national savings has to be financed
by pure initiation, or to a small extent by the sale
of what foreign assets remain.
Initiation on this scale is naturally raising the
cost of living at rate which is rapidly impover-
ishing the mass of the people. -. The mere main
tenance of the present conditions in Spain and
Abyssinia means steady shrinkage in Italys
economic strength relative to the democratic Pow
