TELLING IT IN RHYME A subscriber sends us this rhyme as an expressive of his political sen timentsr "Of drinkin' and such I'm no approver. But I cannot vote for Herbie Hoover. Choose if you must the one or the other. The little brown jug or the big black brother, I'm singing it early, I'm singing it late, On November sixth I'm vot ing her straight." Not so much by way of poetry. Nothing in it to make Longfellow or Tennyson jealous, but a whole ser mon in common sense. ror- EESUEFACING ROADS The wisdom of constructing roads of long lasting materials with a highsalvage value was recently rought to light by the New York State Highway Department which saved 77 per cent of the original cost of an old thin, concrete pavement. A thin concrete pavement 14 feet wide was laid in Seneca county 14 years ago. The stress of modern traf fic made it necessary to widen this old pavement to IS feet and also to thicken the strip from four and a half inches to nine inches. By placing the new concrete over the old nearly 2,000 cubic yards of concrete were saved. At the cost of $13.71 per cubic yard the total saving amounted to $26,S00, or approxi mately 77 per cent of the original cost of the thin and narrow concrete. Highway authorities point out that when roadways have a salvage value such as this it is all the more im perative that paving programs be ex tended so that maintenance costs and car costs will be cut to rock bot tom. The Fulton-Oswego road lost but 23 per cent of its value in 14 years. Another striking instance of the high salvage value of good pavements is found in Wayne county, Mich, near Detroit. Gratoit Road was designed before the era of heavy traffic; when the increase came this highway de teriorated so that resurfacing was necessary. Accordingly in 1927 a four-inch layer of concrete was plac ed over the old surface. All depres sions and deep holes in the old pave ment were filled with this new con crete and an even surface was ob tained. Resurfacing completed, the pave ment was then widened to 20 feet by conducting a two-foot shoulder on each side. Later traffic became so heavy that another-ten-foot stip of concrete was added. The success of the whole project may be valuized when it is considered that this 30 foot pavement now carries approxi mately 20,000 motor vehicles daily. The problem of resurfacing affects practically every community that is blessed with old pavements not es pecially designed for modern travel. True economy today exists in taking advantage of these old pavements as stable bases for resurfacing, in ex tending needed new pavements over earth thoroughfares. AS TO HONESTY If honesty has any value in pres ent day politics then the Democratic party should be rewarded with vic tory in November. The Republicans have dodged the prohibition issue expertly. Their platform is a hazy affair. Their lead er calls it a "noble experiment," solace for wets and drys alike. In contrast, Governor Smith has stated his opinion plainly. John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has done like wise. The Democrats are not peeking around corners running when they hear a pin drop. The Republicans are. Perhaps American voters will take these differences into consid eration when election time rolls around. -ro:- THE PENNY MATCHES At any cigar store or drug store you can buy a little box of matches for a-penny. Off hand it would al-! most seem as if these were merely sold for a convenience; one would hardly suppose that the manufacture of penny matches was a great under-, taking. J Yet the Department of Commerce reveals that in 1927 there were 18 j match manufacturers in the United States, doing a gross business of $24,785,835. These plant9 employed nearly 4,000 men, and paid out up-, wards of $4,000,000 in wages dur ing" the year. j This hardly compares with the in-, dustrial giants of course. But it is a safe bet that the business is far, larger than most of us ever imag ined. ror Did Hoover have to take out citi zenship after returning from a citi zenship of eight years in Europe ' OUR INSECT MARAUDERS AGAIN The statisticians of the department of agriculture have taken another; turn at the question of damage done by insects, and have reached the conclusion that the total loss caused , by these pests amounts to more than J $2,000,000,000 per year. Coming atj the problem from another angle, it is estimated that these insect maraud-1 ers nullify the labor of about 1,000 000 men. In their feeding, they de stroy from one-tenth to one-fifth of virtually all crops planted. Enormous amounts of poisonous chemicals are consumed in fighting these enemies. About 5,000,000 pounds of Paris green per years is the present average, while more than 20,000,000 pounds of arsenate of lead is required and the use of cal cium arsenate, introduced as an in secticide a decade ago, has now grown to about 30,000,000 pounds annually. These are a few of the more important drugs employed for this purpose. The insects, however, are not alone in their depredation. The losses due to fungus diseases of various types are about as great. Something like an average of 100,000,000 bushels of grain are destroyed each year by smut diseases, and rusts are even more serious in their damage. The decay of timber from fungus attacks causes a heavy loss. An intelligent person must surely realize, as he reads of these losses, the importance of scientific research, in order to dis cover effective means of their elim ination, and th utter folly of oppos ing liberal appropriations for that purpose. :o: THE SOCIAL EQUA TION IN POLITICS Nothing has occurred to change our views as regards party platforms pronnouncing for or against issues of a controversial nature affecting so cial conditions and customs of the people or their habits. These can be met by the people themselves through the representative they may choose to legislate for them, and for a proper and equitable disposal, leg islators should be free from political pledges. There is no more open w ay to create dissensions, feuds and dis turbances of conditions, for it is political rivalry with its sometimes bitterness and agitation, that unset tles confidence, in the end settling nothing that will stay settled. No political platform with planks bear ing on social problems can ever be satisfactory to all of the party, yet it may satisfy more or less members of another party, with the further factor of placing legislators of its party in embarrassing position when called upon to vote for or against proposed measures. Thus is legisla tion blocked in so far as it stifles that expressio ncoming from honest conviction. ror The people will have their way once in a while and the rewards of the present states administration has shown the voters of the state that misplaced confidence has gone decid edly wrong. Every voter that reads knows this as well as we do. ror There are 2,990 insane persons in Mississippi, according to figures is sued by the census bureau at Wash ington. This does not include erst while Democrats who say they are go ing to vote the Republican ticket. ror The husband who sued for divorce because his wife knocked him cold with a skillet probably entertains the opinion that she left him fiat.
