C., October 8, 1919 |J z?I] Tlie country badly needs industrial peace, but it seems to be hard to get < interested parties to sign the armis-'i tice. For a man to commit bigamy with,; prices at their present level must ne. i cessarily cause one to admire his ! courage. * j' X. The Anti-Salon League announces j that it is going into politics. Some: misguided folks in Dillon have been ] of the opinion that it already has been somewhat involved therein. ' STOCK SALESMEN. i There are entirely too many stock salesmen in the country and they > ( seem to specialize on persons who want to make a lot of money in a hurry without working.. It is remarkable how frequently the man or woman who accumulates , a little money is so easily caught in 8 the snares of the gilt-tongued sales, f man who has worthless securities to r .market. We have known of cases in Dillon t county where stock was purchased in concerns that a man with business 5 intelligence would know in a moment 1 would never pay dividends and in the t end lead to a loss of the capital in- a vested by suckers. If there is anyone in Dillon county 1 willing and anxious to invest capital u there are plenty of good bankers at a hand to show them how to invest t with safety. Anch remember, folks, t safety is more important than any- o thing else connected with the busi-; t ness of lending, money. ? ^ MOKE BRICK HOUSES. It is stated by brick manufacturers that not enough persons in the United States build brick houses. They say so for self-evident reasons, but their contentions as to lasting qualities are'undoubtedly incontestable. The ffcame house found in most small cities could be improved upon, and it is worthy of comment that in such cities where there are both brick and frame houses, the brick were In many instances built 30 or 40 years ago are still in good use, and if the interior uxiugs nave oeen aepi up 10 date and modern, are as good as the modern frame houses that are**constructed. Of course, if owners lo not keep up with the procession in the addition of modern indoor improvements there is a marked difference ' between the houses and those of more I recent building, so far as convenience is concerned. Brick manufacturers are beginning a to learn why there are comparatively o few brick houses built?lack of ad- ^ ertising, B ! a ~ ! I1 WHO BENEFITS Bl' GOOD ROADS? a The old and ancient arguments as to whom good roads benefit the most, city or country .people, is perennially to the fore. i Improved highways benefits the j rural and town dweller equally as i far as bringing of products to nearby i town markets is concerned. It is hard to compute such a matter in dollars and cents, or course, but it is undoubtedly true that when trucks can haul larger loads with three or four times the speed than teams formerly hauled them there is a saving somewhere, and that this saving is divided between farmer and consum. er. As far pleasure riding, the farmer and town dweller benefit fro ma good highway in the proportion that automobiles are owned in city and country. In many portions of the na tion the farmers proportionately own | more mac^nes than the people in | Bfcjvj the cities. Where that is the case the i [SgB owners of these machines, when they ' jgSpl are so inclined, get more benefits out ' of the roads even when pleasure rid- 1 WU ing only is considered than the city folks do. On tl.e other hand, where | proportionately more city people than K country people own machines as is | the case in the vicinity of large cities where there frequently are no farms at all, it is evident that roads in adjoining counties give more benefit to the city people using them than the residents that live along them. In the case of a county that is composed of three.fourths rural residents and one-fourth living in towns, the rural residents will get the greatest benefit from the good roads provided they own proportionately to population as many auto cars as the town folks. And the reverse is true provid-; ed they don't own proportionately as many. INDUSTRY, PRICES AND DISTRIBUTION Industry must be kept going and producing, else there will be chaos { and stagnation not only in this coun. try, but in the world. The future prosperity of the country depends upon production and ai ? tribuaon; curtailed production means high prices; higher prices means cur-, tailed distribution; curtailed distribution means that the rank and fd*. of persons will get less of the essentials and luxuries to enjoy. The worth while things o" life are' no good to the world unless they are used?hot by a few but by the masses. Prohibitive prices effectual. iy eliminate wide 'Strioution among: he masses. ROADBUILDING MEET DEMANDS OF TRAFFIC Construction of Freak Highways Should Be Stopped?Permanency Should Be Sought J. J. Hin, in a speech In MInnetpolis, January 23, 1910, said: "If the ' iroblem of the railroad terminals be teglected for the next five years as t has for the last ten, it will blight (very form of activity by paralyzing he whole trade." W. C. Brown, president of the New fork Central lines, said'November 5, 912: "If cars are kept in motion at he average speed of freight trains at it present time, they would make on he average four times the mileage hey do now. The trouble is the cars, s a rule, are held longer to load and inload thun the time involved in the ! ctual movement of the cars"?that is, he terminal had the railroad by the hroat and was choking three-quarters f its efficiency out of It. The predlcion of Hill was absolutely correct. l period of acute congestion in raiload transportation had already set in ? ?1 i/lotor Truck Adapted to Carrying Farm Produce. ,nd would have gone to the bitter end >f paralyzing every form of activity md not the motor truck, which had 10 terminals, gone to the rescue. Now t this time. May 1,1919, another thing las got the motor truck by the throat md Is choking three-quarters of its jfflciency out of It. This time It Is the dime museum reak construction of our so-called ;ood roads, not by tying up the motor ruck as the loeomotlVe was tied up n the terminal, but by knockng it and its trailers to pieces, thus jutting short the life of the rolling ; itock, as well as making it move 1 ilower and with not over one-quar- \ er of a load over the imperfect sur aces, increasing the cost of raotortuck transportation way beyond what t ought to be for what the motor ruck does, as well as limiting the iraount it can do way down below the ionnal, writes Frederic J. Nash, in STew York World. Had these roads j )een properly construuieu mry wuum lave gone to the stock exchanges and >een bought and sold there, like every >ther kind of transportation securi:ies. As it is. they have gone to pieces ind left the bondholders, the states, ,'ounties and townships, their bonds on heir hands and only a scrap heap of sad roads to show for them. .These freak roads, had they been offered on the stock exchanges with only themselves as security would not have sold for one cent on the dollar. They are built on the credit of the states, counties and townships through which they passed. This at the rate of two hundred millions of dollars per year. A speed of 150 miles an hour on the beach at Daytona, Fla., was made last Lincoln's birthday, a rate of speed which the lbcomotive has never been able to reach. Anything beyond a three-ton truck load is more than a freak highway can safely carry, while the ordinary normal load of the freight car on its railroad is 50 tons. If these few things could be combined in the highway?absence of terminals, a rate of speed beyond that of the railroad, a freight-carrying tonnage equal to that of the railroad, a cost of *he upkeep less than that of the railroad, this would multiply our present means of transportation seven or eight times and give this country a prosperity during the next dozen years such as we have never even dreamed of. We want to change our form of highway construction over night and put our highway securities on the stock exchanges and not our highways on the dump heap. Highway stocks and bonds bused on the value of this properly-constructed highway will pay a \ I * higher rate of interest than the railways ever have, for it will do much ' more work. Good- Roads in Arizona. i Assisted by national and forest service appropriations, the state ol Arizona and its 14 counties have started upon a road improvement program expected to consume at least $10,000,(00. Bond Issue Is Answer. | Few communities, except those having large ciWes in them with a resulting high valuation, can afford a modern >?oiem of highways and pay sk they go. The only otlter alternajtivi is to issue bonds. # NOTICE. To the Hon.
