The democratic congress is re sponsible for a heavy loss, both of money and efficiency, in the work of the office of public roads. Three important phases of good road development practically had to be abandoned for a year be cause the democrats failed to pass before the close of the fiscal year of iyi3, the agricultural appropria tion bill, which provides money for good roads. The first loss fell upon the ex perimental road work. A portion of each year’s appropriation is de j voted to experimental road build ing in and near Washington, in order to make scientific tests and discover improved methods in road construction. The offiicials could not carry out these tests properly. The delay in securing their ap propriations caused an estimated loss of about one-tenth of the fund, with an even greater loss in efficien cy because many of the experi ments could not be made at all. The second loss occured because officials were unable to contract for new work until the money was actually appropriated. It is a maxim in good road building that all work undertaken must be com pleted in the same summer. Con gress failed to appropiate the money until nearly the middle of August. Before bids could be se cured and contracts let, fall was approaching and the roads would not be completed. Machinery either had to be moved to warmer localities or remain idle, all of which entered into the amount of the bids. The new roads cost more and their construction was delayed for an entire season. The third loss occured in con nection with furnishing govern ment road engineers to local com munities to give advice in local road building. Scores of these experts were in Washington at the time, ready to start for local points as soon as congress passed the bill. There was nothing they could do here, and no money to send them to the field. When the appropriation bill was finally passed, it was too late for many of them to report to the local communities to which they had been assigned. Their efficien cy was destroyed and their salaries and expenses were a total loss dur ing the weeks they were delayed by the inaction of the democratic congress. DO TRIFLES ANNOY? What a blessed thing it is that we can forget! To-day’s troubles look large, but a week hence they will be forgotten and buried out of sight. Says one writer: “If you would keep a book and daily put down the things that worry you, and see what becomes of them, it would benefit you' You allow a thing to annoy you, just as you allow a fly to settle on you and plague you; and you lose your temper and you justify your self by lading thrown off your balance by causes which you do not trace out. But if you could see. what it was that threw you off your balance before breakfast, and put it down in a little book, anP follow it up and follow it out, and ascertain what becomes of it, you would see what a fool you were in the matter.” The art of forget ting is a blessed art, but the art of overlooking is quite as import ant. And if we should take time to write down the origan, progress and outcome of a few of our troubles, it would make us so ashamed <>f the fuss we make over them, that we should be glad to drop such things and bury them at once in eternal forgetful ness. Life is too short to be worn out in. petty worries, frettings, hatreds and vexations. Though the people of this coun try undoubtedly want a perman ent, non-partisan tariff commission they don’t want it appointed by a democratic president who will se lect a majority of its members from among men who are opposed to a scientific protective tariff. They want a tariff commission created by the friends of the pro tection principle. They want it to ascertain the facts and submit those facts to congress for its guidance in determining the amount of duty necessary to give the American wage earner ade quate protection from the cheap labor of foreign countries. They want a tariff commission not sub servient to the white house but acting in its own judgement under authority of law, definitely pre scribing its powers and duties. They want a commission governed by law and under no obligations to a democratic president who op poses the principle of a protective tariff. The American dollar roles the financial world—not through the wisdom of the democratic law makers but through the folly of those European rulers who pre cipitated the most ruinous war in the world’s history. Our own economic system is just as weak at the foundation today as it was in July, 1914. when the balance of trade was running higher and higher against us. We have been saved from disaster, not by our own action but by the extreme ne cessities of our unfortunate cousins across the Atlantic. Foolish, foolish ineeed, the man who de ludes himself with the idea that such an economic structure can endure beyond the day when its foundation falls. The New York Times Annalist index number on wholesale prices of 25 leading articles of food for the second week in August, 1915, was 145.17, compared with 139 for the second week in August, 1913, under republican law. The index number for the year 1914 was 146.07 compared with 139.98 for the year 1913. The balance in the general fund of the national treasury on Aug ust 23 was $55,760,889 as compared with $126,663,944 on the corres ponding date two years ago under republican laws. The administra tion spent $27,382,411 more than it collected during the first 54days of the present fiscal year. A federal judgeship is vacant in Nebraska. We don't exactly see how this can be split fifty-fifty be tween the Bryan and Hitchcock factions. INTERESTING FIGURES. An interesting compilation has been made as to the World’s debts after the end of the first year of the war. This compilation, published in the Economic World, shows that Great Britain’s debts at the close of July, 1915, were more than double the debt at the close of July, 1914: Germany lias also practically doubled its indebtedness in the year; Russia’s is increased over one-half, and France has increased its debt one-half during the first year of the war. Neutral countries have also added to their in debtedness, owing to the necessity existing for better preparedness on their part, although the increase of debts on the part of neutrals is in consequential compared with the enormous increase shown by the na tions directly at war.
