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

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.
