Only One Mile Of Road Is Completed In 14 Months' Work Failure of County 'Commis sioners to, Usfe Brick Re sults in Tieup of $3,- 000,000 Project. Although 4 months have passed since Douglas county voted to spend $3,000,000 for paved roads, the coun ty today has realized about one mile of paving from the ambitious pro--ject. . By the time winter closes in, the county may have five and one-third miles of brick pavings And there is. no immediate prospect of getting more. Failure of 'the county commis i sioners to stick to their signed prom ise to use the money for brick pav ing is responsible for the holding up sf the work." EarlyHast spring the commissioners awarded contracts for paving the Lincoln highway from the end of the present paving to the Dodge county line, about 17 miles. Public Is Surprised The people were astonished to learn that all of this except five and one-third riiiles was awarded for "bitulithic" paving. Leading citi zens went into t,he courts where aoJ injunction was readily granted pre venting the contractors from' laying the composition paving. This case is now in the supreme our't.. On the sole- contract whidh has ac tually been kept under way, by the $3,000,000 bond issue, most of the five and one-third miles of concrete has been laid and the brick surfac ing is down for more than one mile. ' When the bond project was being voted on the county commissioners expected it to suffice for "120 miles of first-class brick on Douglas coun ty roads. . ; Money Draws Interest. Bids showed that the price was about $50,000 a mile, twice what was anticipated. Jtis said to be even higher now. Oil the last contracts for which bids were asked no bids at all werayeceived. 'The federal government has ap proved the Lincoln and Washington highway and O-L-D road paving projects. A large amount, of grad ing has been done and is being done on the Center street, Q street and O-li-D roads. Only $1,0(30,000 of the $3,000,000 bond, issue authorized has been is sued so far.. County commissioners say no interest is being lost on this. Pending payment of contractors the money is invested at S'i per cent interest. United States Trade Balarice Shows Big ' Decrease This Year Washington, Sept. 25. The American trade balance'for the first eight months of 1920 was $1,483, 000,000 compared to more than $3, 000,000,000 for the , corresponding neriod of 1919. according to figures made public by the Department ofl Commerce.

Sv HV-l .u Most Ambitious Season of Samson Organization Also Proves to Be the Most Successful. Begin to Think of 1921 The Ak-Sar-Ben season which closed ' Saturday night was by far the most successful in the 26 years' history of the organization. Not only was it marked by the opening of the great Ak-Sar-Ben exposition with thousands attending the initial races, but the downtown carnival had thousands more visi tors than ever before, and this in spite of an admission charge of 15 cents instead of the, old-time dime. Carnival attendance wis nearly 30, 000 greater this year than last. The Con T. Kennedy shows, con stituting the carnival, began to fold their tents Saturday night to "steal away.

"The weather was unusually pro pitous. With the exception of the little suggestion of a rain during the electrical prade, all of the big events were blessed with lovely weather. That had much to do with the general success. It has been a great year." Ak-Sar-Ben governor and chair man of the parade committee, Ar- thus P. Guiou, voiced the same sen timents and declared, besides, that Everett Buckingham and Gus Renze are almost the greatest men in the world. , "I don't know what we'd do with out cither of them," said he. "In fact, all the governors are wonders. Now. Tf the city council of Omaha could just work in harmony and with the Efficiency of the Ak-Sar-Ben board of governors, "what won ders that council could do for Omaha! . Biggest In History. ' "The parades were put through with eminent satisfaction to myself and pleasure to the multitude that witnessed them. And Ak-Sar-Ben has' had a marvelous year, by all odds the biggest in its history. But next year is going to be bigger." Charles and Charlie, the two big secretaries, are going (pn a two-day vacation. So said Charlie Gardner, secretary of Ak-Sar-Ben, concern ing himself and Charles Trimble, secretary of the Ak-Sar-Ben Expo sition company. "We've been somejousy boys for the last few weeks," said Charlie. "And we want to just get out in the country somewhere and do nothing for about two days. Then we're coming back and get to work be cause there s something doing all the year round in Ak-Sar-Ben. And the next job in sight is to clean up the Uose ends of these big days and then to get out the annual report."

Proceeding Quietly, Gov f ernor Harding Says. Open Market Needed s By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. tliirniro Trlbunr-Omaha lire Iai(t Wire, Washington, Sept. 25. Although business conditions are still far from nqjsmal, and the processes of effect- ing an orderly and gradual deflation' v in tli e months to come will fall for , a high order of statesmanship, the danger of any disturbance akin to a ' panic has now passed. This is the opinion of Governor Harding of the federal reserve , board, with whom I discussed The financial and commercial situation today. "The federal rserve system is still confronted with conditions more or less abnormal, but we have passed through the period of expl ication or intoxication which char acterized American business activi ties several months ago, and, not withstanding the gloomy prediction which were frequently made at that time, the transition to a more nor mal basis is proceeding quietly and without alarming features," said Governor Harding. "Credit, which is requited for seasoaal needs, is bcinggraiitcd, and business generally is looking for ward to a fall and winter of at least average activity. Sentiment is being helped by the bountiful harvests, by the better outlook for the railroads, and by the knowledge that many highly essential developments which have been long deferred by force, of circumstances, such as enlarge ment of our transportation facilieies and additions to housing accommo dations throughout the country, must soon be undertaken. Broad Demand Developing. - "A broad demand, which ' will probably extend over a period of years, is openingvup for the products of our basic industries, and if in the readjustments ahead of us, any lines of business should prove to be overdone, there is every assurance that any surplus of brains, and energy now engaged in such lines can be readily utilized in other fields of activity." Governor Harding said that the crisis of last spring, due to a much P much greater expansion of credit than during the war, was success fully weathered as a result of the actions of the banks, under thn guidance of the reserve boafi, curtailing loans for nonessentials and thereby diverting capital to the -production of essentials. "I am a firm believer," said Mr. Harding, "in, gradual and orderly methods of marketing our great ag ricultural surplus. Agricultpte is the most important of all industries, for upon its fruits depend the lives of those engaged in all other indus-, tries. The farmer is a great con sumer of manufactured products and"&nything that affects his buying power is soon reflected in business of the merchant and the manufac turer. , "While the individual farmer maj be just as well off with small pro duction and high prices, the mass of the population is far better off withi full production and moderate prices Surplus Necessary. "Great staple crops, the produce . tion of which extends over a perioi of several months, must meet th reauirements of , consumption for a full year, and, in order to prevent possibility of shortage, it is desirable that there be a reasonable surplus ,, held over from one crop, pending1' , the marketing of the next. The gradual and orderly marketing o( our great staple crop is, therefore, a matter of importance both to pro ducers and consumers. The dump- . ing upon the market within a short , period of time of a large part of a : crop, consumption of which extends j throughout the year, means not only j a loss to the producers, often .to j those who can least afford it, but in- j volves also a great strain upon our. . transportation facilities and upon the ; banks, in providing funds necessary ' for large purchases in advance of i actual requirements for consump- ' tion. i i It is clear the volume of our great staple crops is so large- and the value so enormous that any effort to valorize them by means of 'bank credits .would inevitably result in disaster by the operation of econom ic law. y : "But I think that all reasonable assistance should be given pro-n cucers to enable them to market their crops in an orderly way, pro vided they are willing to sell enough to meet current requirements, and that consumers should concede... to, the farmer reasonable profits in or der that future production may be adequate, "What is needed is an open mar ket in which the law tii supply and demand Is given free play and in which buyer and seller may meet on equal terms."
