HIGHWAYS NOT BUILT BY RULE OF THUMB Technically Trained Men in Demand For Roads. In the early days of road building, any contractor who could spread stone and roll it was good enough to "engineer" the road to be built. Today all organizations engaged in road building are looking for the trained road engineer, and when there are not enough to go round, sending their own men to college for better training in highway building. In 1919 the University of Michigan, which has departments of Highway Engineering and Highway Transport (Professor Arthur H. Blanchard) offered graduate short period courses in highway engineering and highway transport, leading to the degree of Master of Science or Master of Science in Engineering, arranged especially for men engaged in the practice of highway engineering and hikhway transport. In 1919-20 the attendance was 29; while in 1922-23, 110 men attended these courses, the average age of the men being 27 years, ranging from 23 to 56 years. These men came from the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, state, county, and municipal highway departments, contractors' organizations, companies manufacturing motor trucks, highway machinery, and materials, universities, and from the field of highway transport. During 1923-24, 18 graduate short period courses will be offered, 10 in the field of highway engineering and 8 in highway transport. These courses will be given by a staff of 8 professors and 10 non-resident lecturers. The road building world is looking to the engineer, the trained man, the WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING It is a favorite device of critics of the Republican Administration to recite the fact that the Government is spending more than three and a half billions a year; that in the year before the war it spent less than three quarters of a billion; that the war ended more than five years ago; and that it is high time that the cost of National Government was brought down close to the pre-war figure. Accepted at its face value, such a half-truth is calculated to arouse bitter resentment at what appears to be gross extravagance on the part of the Republicans. But what are the facts? Although the war is ended, it has left a trail of expenditures in its wake that cannot be avoided and that must remain with us for decades to come. In his recent address before the chiefs of the Departments and Bureaus, Gen. Lord, Director of the Budget, stated that, of the entire cost of the National Government, fully two-thirds is beyond the reach of the Budget Bureau to modify or reduce. A glance at the estimated expenditures for the present fiscal year shows that our unescapable war costs alone are almost three times what the entire cost of Government was back in 1916. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, it is estimated that the Government will spend $451,000,000 for soldier relief under the Veterans' Bureau, $940,000,000 for interest on the public debt, and $542,000,000 for reduction of the public debt. Those three items total more than $1,900,000,000, but they can not be reduced. The Budget Bureau must therefore lay that huge sum aside before beginning its task of economy. But added to those costs incident to... "BOGUS" AUTO CLUBS The fake automobile club promoter and his clan are "among those present" in California this winter, according to reports from various sections of the state. His most numerous victims are proprietors of garages, filling stations, restaurants, hotels and other stopping places of tourists. He promises rich rewards intrade as a result of their joining his organization and being designated "official" places to be patronized by the "thousands"(?) of motorists who are to join the new club. In his seeking for easy money, the auto club organizer is generally content with relieving his victims of small amounts—any sum under the $50, which the legal limit defines as grand larceny, is to his liking, as prosecuting officers and complaining witnesses hate to waste their time on petty midmeanor cases. Most of these promoters come to California because of the large number of motrists in the state. In these they see a rich field. They may or may not be aware of the fact that California is better equipped with motor clubs than any other state in the union. It has two very large organizations—one in the sooth and one in the north—each of which completely evens the field and is giving service that could not possibly be duplicated without years of effort and success. If even then. It may be that the eminence attained by California's two great organizations serves to inspire ambitious and honest promoters to attempt to repeat these successes, but it would appear that the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, it is estimated that the Government will spend $451,000,000 for soldier relief under the Veterans' Bureau, $940,000,000 for interest on the public debt, and $542,000,000 for reduction of the public debt. Those three items total more than $1,900,000,000, but they can not be reduced. The Budget Bureau must therefore lay that huge sum aside before beginning its task of economy. But added to those costs incident to the World war are other expenditures that are beyond the power of the Budget Bureau to curtail. In 1924 the Government will distribute $237,000,000 as pensions to the surviving veterans of all our wars, and to dependents of veterans. The rate of pension payment is fixed by law and cannot be amended by the Budget Bureau. The same may be said of $85,000,000 that will be distributed this year among the states as cooperative aid in the construction of rural post roads. There are many other items of less amount, appropriations for which are required by statute, for which the Budget Bureau must provide before it can attempt any retrenchment of Federal expenditures. The after-war costs, pensions, good roads, and all the other cost items called for by laws now on the statute books, aggregate two-thirds of the $3,565,000,000 necessary to run the Federal Government during the present year. What is left is and has been the object of attack of the Budget Bureau in its effort to lower the total of expenditures. It is not yet down to the pre-war level, but it is far below the level at which the growth of the country and the higher cost of labor and materials would fully justify placing it were our standards of conducting the national business the same as those prevailing in the pre-war years. But those standards have had a radical revision. Under the budget law and through its drastic application by Presidents Harding and Coolidge, business methods control the conduct of affairs. They have not only wiped out the extravagant practices of the war period, but they have cut deeper and are rebuilding the business structure of the Government according to the best examples of private enterprise. The result is an economy never dreamed of in the history of the Government, and the saving to the taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars in the cost of Federal Administration. motor clubs than any other state in the union. It has two very large organizations—one in the sooth and one in the north—each of which completely evers the field and is giving service that could not possibly be duplicated without years of effort and success. If even then. It may be that the eminence attained by California's two great organizations serves to inspire ambitious and honest promoters to attempt to repeat these successes, but it would appear that if they really are good business men, they would not enter a field that is already efficiently served. During the past two years at least a score of so-called auto clubs have been promoted in California, yet only the most recent arrivals in the arena still survive. The fact that the organizers of these institutions have never made good on their promises does not seem to prevent some of the public from "falling for" each succeeding crop of promoters. These so-called auto clubs furnish a living for the promoter for a few months and then sink into oblivion with his departure. In some cases warrants are out for the organizer, who probably never will be heard from again by his victims. Many cases have been found where the newly signed member thought he was joining one of the two big-going organizations, due to the similarity of names used by the promoter. After all, it is the credulity of the motoring public and the garage man that makes possible the operations of the fake promoter. A little investigation of these personal profit organizations will save many thousands of dollars to motor car owners, dealers and garages. The man who is always worrying for fear he will do something to lose prestige, usually just thinks he can lose it. FARMERS' PLIGHT A PERIL The politicians will find food for serious thought in the startling statement of the Secretary of Agriculture that 23.5 per cent of farmers in 15 wheat and corn producing states are either bankrupt or saved from actual bankruptcy only by the leniency of their creditors. In other words, throughout a great section of the farming West, one farmer in four has been ruined this last year. This means that one of the most important tasks of Congress is to take every practicable measure to halt this destruction of the foundation of our national life. All things come from the soil, even the men to put youth and power into sluggish life-blood of our cities. Lower freight rates on agricultural products, credits to warehouse farm products and finance their exportation, government encouragement to cooperative marketing—these and every other proposed form of relief must be examined and, when feasible, applied. First of all, the tax reductions proposed by Secretary Mellon, will help unburden the farmer, along with other classes of the community. The plight of the western farmer must be considered as a national catastrophe and handled accordingly. ZOOLOGICALLY SPEAKING A class in natural history was re-citing. The teacher asked: "Where is the home of the swallow?" A long silence, and then a hand waved. "You may answer, Robert." "The home of the swallow," declared Robert, "is in the stummick." M.

Laffoon, retired farmer, 417 Elm St., says: "Doan's Pills are an old stand-by with me and I don't know how I would have made out without them. I got so bad off with kidney trouble, I could hardly keep going. My back ached constantly and made it hard for me to do any stooping of lifting work. My kidneys were out of order, too. I used Doan's Pills and they just sulted my case. Doan's soon put me on my feet. The backache let up and my kidneys were regulated." Price 60c. at all dealers.

Opening a Bank Account Many people hesitate to open a bank account because it is new and strange to them—and because they feel embarrassed in starting with a small deposit. Don't put off coming to the bank until you can deposit $15, $25 or $50. By the time pay-day comes around, you may find that so many demands for money have accumulated (that the large deposit cannot be spared). No one who has $1, or $5, with which to start, need feel any hesitancy in coming to the bank. Hundreds of our accounts have been opened just this way. Small accounts are welcome.
