TO MEET GOOD ROADS BONDS
Motor-Vehicle Revenues Devoted to
Maintenance and Repair of State
Improved Highways.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In most states the motor-vehicle
revenues are devoted to the ma?": te
nance and repair of the state ronds
or other improved highways. These
states thus seem to have solved fairly
well the knotty problem of how to
secure sufficient funds to mnintain tho
more important roads under the ever
increasing traffic requirements. As
both the traffic and the revenues in
crease with the number of r:?.rs:. lhere
exists a possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace with
the ever-growiug maintenance charges.
Recently, however, a movement to
capitalize the motor-vehicle revenues
and devote these funds to road con

structlon has been quite noticeable.
This is especially true in those states
which have a comparatively large i
number of cars and only a small mile
age of improved roads. Thus. Illinois, j
last November approved a bond issue
of $60.000,000 for the construction of a :
system of state roads. The interest
and principal of these bonds are to be j
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues wlft prove sufficient Tor this :
purpose. The main question which re- |
mains is whether or not a satisfactory |
source of maintenance revenues can j
be secured so as to prevent these
roads, when constructed, from dete

EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
Drainage Is Chief Essential in Putting !
Earth Roads in Proper Shap?^ I
>*^>?>^1_ Draq Must Be Used.
It can be truthfully" said that drain- j
age is the chief essential in puttTn^
earth roads into proper condition. A?
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements ,
of good earth roads are. drainage, more
drainage, and still more drainage. E
W. Lehmann of the University of Mis
souri college of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds : Roads mus?
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good nnderdrain
age. Sui'ace drainage is secured bj
proper grading, adequate side ditches
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must he used after each
rain, If the best results are to be se
cured. Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let it dry out slightly; lt should
be wet enough, however, so it will not
crumble, but linear. When properly
used, the drag brings a thin layer of
earth toward the center of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown is se
cured by dragging, the angle of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth -oads graded,
ditches open, well drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacing
material.
GREAT ROAD WORK PLANNED
Approximately $300,000,000 for High
way Expenditures to Be Used
This Season.
Estimates of contemplated highway
expenditures in the United States for
the season of 1919 place the total at
approximately $300.000,000. Because
of governmental restrictions the
amount was considerably lower than
this in 1918, while in 1917 it was nlaced
at $280,000,000.
Concrete Road Building.
A great era of concrete road build
ing has begun. Comprehensive sys
tems are being constructed in many
counties and many through highways
are being improved with concrete in
various states under state supervision.
Discomforts of Poor Roads.
If people don't invest in good roads,
they invest in getting stuck in the
mud, more horsepower for hauling,
more time spent on the road, and
Canch discomfort when they ride.
WILSON INVADES
ROUSE OF FOES
CARRIES HI3 BATTLE FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS INTO
HOME OF HIS ENEMIES.
GIVES COST OF GREAT WAR
Informs Them of Lives and Treasure
Poured Out to Save
Civilization.
(By Mt. Clemens News Bureau)
Aboard President Wilson's Special
train-Carrying his war against those
who oppose the adoption by the Uni
ted States of the peace treaty and th&
covenant of the League of Nations in
to their households, President Wilson
last week invaded California.
And there, where the question on
which league opponents have ham
mered the hardest, that of Shan Tung
is of most interest, the president found
the same enthusiasm among the peo
ple for peace and for insurance
against future wars. The people want
the long controversy ended. They
want this country to be able to again
turn its undivided attention to social,
economic and industrial development.
Their leaders may not feel thiB way,
but judging from the. expressions
which met the president or every side.
The leaders have overstepped the
limits of the peoples patience in their
stubborn determination to force a
change in the great document.
Must Take This League.
"We must take thiB League of Na
tions," said the president, "for there
is no way in which another can be
obtained without compelling 'recon.
sideration by the powers. And it
would sit very ill upon my stomach to
take it back to Germany fer considera
tion."
"All over the world people are look
ing to us with confidence our rivals
along with the weaker nations. I pray
God that the gentlemen who are de
laying this thing may presently see it
in a different light.'*
Germany, (he president declared, is
taking new courage from our delay in
ratifying the treaty and her news
papers and public men were again be
coming arrogantly out-spoken.
Deeply impressive were the figures
of the cost of the late war, In lives
and dollars, lt was the first time that
the official statistics have been made
public and the tremendous totals
shocked the president's audiences.
Show3 Cost pf World War.
"The war." ?aid President Wilson,
coBt Great Britain" and and her Do
mains $38,000,000,005; France' ?26,000r
000,000; Jie United States |22\00'?V
000,000; Russia $18,000,000,000; Italy
$13,000,000,000 and a total, Including
the expenditures of Japan, "Efelglum
and Other small countries of $123,000,

tria-Hungary, $21,000,000,000; Turkey
and Bulgaria $3,000,000,000.
"The United States," the president
Bald, "scent one million dollars an
hour night and day for two years in
its struggle to eave civilization. All
this, however, fades into insigni
ficance when the deaths hy
battle are considered," declared
the prssident. Russia gave 1,
700,000 men; Germany 1,600,000;
Prance 1,380,000; Great Britain 900,
000; Italy 364,000; the United States
50,300. In all, almost 7,500,000 men
perished in the great struggle, or
1,500,000 mor9 men than died In all of
the wars of the previous 100 years.
Should Remember Recent Horrors.
"These are terrible facts, and we
ought never to forget them. We went
luto this war to do a thing that was
fundamental for the world and what I
have come out on this journey for ls
to determine whether the country has
forgotten or'not. I have found out.
The country has not forgotten and it
will never permit any who stands
In the way of the fulfillment of our
great pledges, ever to.forget the sor
rowful day he made the attempt."
Arbitration and discussion, the pres
ident pointed out, must replace force
of arms in the settlement of world
controversies. Constantly he dwells
upon the fact that all the nations In
the League agree to do one of two
things, first to submit their differences
to arbitration, in which case they
agree to abide by the decision ren
dered, or, if unwilling to arbitrate, to
have their case discussed by the Coun
cil of the League, in which case six
months is granted for discussion.
Three months must elapse following
thf> result of this last step in arbitra
tion before the nation concerned can
declare war.
Holds Out Hope for Ireland.
The president took advantage of
questions propounded hy the San Fran
cisco Labor Council to give the infer
ence that he believes Ireland can bring
her case before the League of Nations
for settlement when the League is
actually in existence.
Shan Tung, he declared, will be re
turned to China. Japan, he said, had
given her solemn pledge to that effect.
And with the League of Nations in
force.- ?cid the president, we can, if
occasion arises, stand forth and say,
"Thii shall be done."
