' Of the 153,682 miles of improved reads in the United ' States, Indiana .[ .'has the largest mileage-that is, 23, " 877 miles. Ohio occupies the second place, with 23,460 miles. Wisconsin ls third; with 10,633 miles; Kentucky fourth, with 9485 miles;' California fifth, with 8803 miles. Illinois, Mas sachusetts and Michigan have over 7000 miles each; Minnesota over 6000 miles; Kew York over 5000 .miles; Tennessee over 4000 miles; Connecticut, . Maine, Missouri, Nsw . Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas, over 2000 miles each, and Ala bama, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, New .? Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Vir ginia a'nd Washington, ever 1000 miles each. In about two-thirds of the States, .gravel has been the principal surfac ing material used in improving the roads. The largest mileage of gravel roads was found in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, "Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois and California. In eight States the mileage of macadam roads exceeds that of gravel, and in a few others it is nearly equal. Ken tucky has the largest mileage of road surfaced with stoned-over S?00 miles -and Ohio is second with a little over 7000.' Ey comparing the percentage of reads' improved with, the population per mile of road, it will be noticed I that' in most cases the States which have the, highest percentage of im proved roads have' the largest popu- . Jation per mil? of road, and vice versa. While it cannot be claimed for improved roads that they invariably lead to increase in population, good roads are certainly a powerful factor in encouraging immigration, especial ly in sparsely settled regions. The percentage of improved roads in any community or State depends upon a variety of causes, the most Important of which may be summed up as follows: (1) Availability of suitable road-building, material; (2)'' wealth of the. State in agriculture,.: manufactories, transportation, etc.; (3) requirements of traffic. Prosper ity promotes a desire for the advan tages and benefits, to be derived ^rom the improvement of the roads; but whether a community is rici in agri culture or otherwise, if lt has to de pend on materials Imported from dis tant places, progress In the improve ment of the roads will be ranch flower than if local materiais are abundant There : are several other reasons whyjthe percentage of Improved roads is higher in 6ome of the States than in others. The high percentage of , improved roads in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and also New Jersey is due principally to the facts that suitable road-building ma terials abound, that these States are densely populated, and that many of the roads have been built through the aid of the States and under the direction of competent State authori ties. Indiana and Ohio have an un usually high percentage of improved roads, because these States are abund antly supplied with good road-build ing stone and gravel and because the social and economic conditions were favorable to the making of public im provements. A comparison of the percentage of roads improved with the acreage values of farm lands in the United States shows that the average per centage of the impend roads in all. States where th^Wand is worth less than $20 per acre is 1.9 per cent., whereas in the 'States showing an acreage value of more than $20, im proved roads constitute an average of nine per cent, of the total mileage. Expressed inversely, the States show ing a. high percentage of improved roads have on the average relatively high acreage values, while those .showing a low percentage have low acreage values. In Virginia. The Highway Commission has ex perimented with macadam roads cost ing from $3000 to $4000 per mile, fine gravel roads costing from $1000 to $1500 a mile, sand-clad roads at $800 per mile. Wherever good reads have been constructed farm lands have increased from twenty-five to 100 per cent in value. The Govern or declares that no expenditure of public money brings such immediate benefits as for good'roads, not to men? tion the comfort and pleasure it gives to landowners and everybody dwell ing permanently or transiently within the States. There has been a great. educational awakening in Virginia of late, farm values have been wonder fully enhanced, and outside capital attracted to an astonishing extent. The railroads are deeply interested in the progress of road-making, and are transporting material and convicts free from place to place so that the work may be facilitated.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Necessities-If Data Fai Legislation1! Washington, D. C.-The alarming increase in the cos; of living, due to the rapid and constant advance in the price of necessities, is to be investi gated by the Government. Senator Crawford, of South Da kota, has asked Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, for a conservative statement of the facts. Should the Secretary, from data in his possession, fail to give the desired information, Senator Craw ford will press a resolution in the Senate, ' directing the Commissioner to investigate and report to Congress early, that there may be prompt remedial legislation. Senator Craviord purposes to get at the bottom facts as to the advance in prices. There is suspicion in his part.of the country that combination and : community of Interest:: have something to do with conditions that are alarming and fast growing intol erable. Senator Crawford is an op ponent of all monopolistic trusts and corners in farm and dairy products. Preliminary investigations show there have been no reports from the Commissioner of Labor on the costs of living, the advance in. price of necessities and the value of labor since, 1907.. At tliat time a report was made that labor was not able to purchase as much as in previous years. The report was severely criti cised by Republican statesmen, be cause a political campaign ,was about to open. An amended report soon appea/ed, and its comparisons, more exhaustive than in the first report, explained some of the most damaging statements previously made. Increased Cost 37 Per Cent. Since 1907 there has been a sharp increase la the cost of living, and a gradual increase for a dozen years. In a special dispatch to The American from Trenton, N. J., it was stated by the State Board of Labor and Statis tics that the cost of living in New I Jersey has increased in thirteen years 37.13 per cent. . . These facts have been brought home to a number of Senators by their constituents. The people want to know whether combinations and price arrangements have raised cost to consumers; what the farmer nnd the middle man get, to determine whether the margins of profit are too great. Senator Crawford will have Tittle difficulty in getting his resolu tions of inquiry passed. Senator Bristow, of Kansas, be lieves combinations have something to do with the advance of the cost of necessities, but thinks that the desire for luxuries has more. "The people have grown accus tomed to luxuries," he said. "For years they got the best of everything at prices lower than now. When prices were advanced because of de mand, they had to take the next best. The result has been a general advance of all grades of necessities. I believe the combinations have had much to do with it, but not all. . "When the wholesaler advances slightly, the retailer advances, and the two or more advances made be fore the article reaches the consumer makes the general advance a burden on the wage-earner. I would like to know the relationship that exists in all cases or in large communities be tween wholesaler and the retailer. I have heard, but do not know, that in some instances the wholesaler con trols the retailers and fixes the retail price. "I do not think the tariff can be held responsible for these advances. Oklahoma Inspector Determined to Have Orders Obeyed. McAlester, Okla.-Eleven collieries of four different companies were Ciosed at Coalgate, Okla., by Mine Inspector Hanraty, .because they had ignored his formal notice that they must cease maintaining mule stables in the mines. Insrsctor Hanraty's order for all operations to cease until his rule ls complied with Immediately threw 5000 miners there temporarily out of employment. Electrical appliances will be installed to do the work. Newsy Gleanings.

INVESTIGATE D COST OF LIVING et?ry Nagel For a Conservative irding Advance in Price ci 1, Inquiry and Remedial Will follow. There can be no defense of the woolen schedules, no justification for the sugar tariffs except to insure per petuity to the Sugar Trust. Opposes Investigation. "I cannot see what good results would flow from an investigation of these conditions at this time." Senator Perkins, of California, be lieves the. advance is due to the law of supply and demand, that produc tion has not kept pace with the growth of population. "Many years ago, I was a cattle raiser," he said. '"'We got $12 to $15 for a steer. To-day that steer brings $45 to $50. I sold sheep at $1.50 a head. They now bring $5 for mutton. Wheat has sold at fifty cents a bushel; it is now more than $1 In Chicago. The cattle raiser and the wheat grower get a large per centage of this increase. "Formerly the cities could be fed in large part by the product of sur rounding territory. Now the neces sities are demanded in such bulk they must be transported great, distances. This increases the cost of the neces sities." . Cost (o Go Still Higher. That the cost of living soon will be greater than ever before, is indicated by the December report, just Issued by the Bradstreet Company. The re port shows that the prices of com modities to-day are within a small .'raction of the record. Up to date the highest prices ever known in this country for commodi ties was March 1, 1907. According to Bradstreet's table of index num bers, on .December 1, this year, the level stood at $9.1262. On March 1, 1907, the level was $9.1290. That ?3, the price of commodities to-day Is within a small fraction of one per cent, of the highest record. Bradstreet's report shows that, theoretically, a man going to the wholesale market place to purchase a pound of each of ninety-six articles would have had to pay on December 1 of this year .about $9.12%. On Ma/ch 1 last like goods might have been purchased for nearly ninjty-one cents less, while on December 1, 190S, they were cheaper by 91.35 cents. Bradstreet's Index numbers are tho totals of the prices per pound of nine ty-six articles, quarterly or monthly, which is ur.ed as a standard of com parison. The groups that make up the Index numbers are set out in the following table, which^ shows the striking in crease in the cost of living this year as compared to last: Dec. 1, 190S. Breadsttiffs.$0.0979 Livestock .3275 Provisions . 2.0603 Fruits .1607 Hides and leather. 1.1825 Textiles. 2.365 3 Metals ...58S1 Coal and coke .... .0063 Oils . . :.3637 Naval stores.0683 Building material . .0804 Chemicals, drugs., .6379 Miscellaneous.2744 Dec. 1, 1909. $0.1014 .4010 2.3187 .1057 1.2875 2.7350 .5950 .0070 .3753 .0898 .0827 .5958 .3712 Total.$8.2133 $9.1262 The report shows that prices con tinue to move upward.
