Skinning Taxpayers Painlessly.

When the repair bills begin coming in for maintenance of impermanent roads, the taxpayer finds himself in the same fix as two brothers were in when they found they had been “trimmed” in a business deal. After vainly trying to figure it all out, Charles in disgust, declared: “John, we’re skinned; that’s al| they air to it.” In the same way the farmer finds he is out of pocket—painlessly “skinned ’ —on anything less than roads built for, permanence. That’s all there is to it.—Ex. . A

ROAD BUILDING IN ILLINOIS.

Types of the State-Aid Roadways to be Built This Year. The State Highway ComSnission of Illinois has filed with the Governor an estimate for the construction of 472 miles of State-Aid road.-. These are to be divided as follows: These figures are approximate and are based on the amount of money available—the estimated cost of construction and the type of road each county has selected. ' . Miles Brick , ii Concrete . 58 Gravel 22 Water-bound macadam... . 5 Bit. macadam ........... 6 Oiled earth 250 Plain earth . . ... .. , ... . . 120 The legislature in 1913 appropriated $1,100,000 for State-Aid road work for the biennium of 19141915. The following session of the legislature in 1915 appropriated $2,000,000 for the biennium of 1916-1917. These appropriations are allotted to the counties in the proportion of the road and bridge tax of the county, and must be met by like sums before they can be available to the county. At the close of the last calendar Tear there had been constructed some 115 miles of State-Aid roads, of which 90.4 miles are of concrete, 22.4 miles are brick, 1.2 miles are gravel, and one mile macadam. There were also eighty-one bridges included in the State-Aid work up to this time. Total cost of this construction was $1,497,407, which was met equally by the state and counties.—The Highway Magazine.

Mail Order Men Prove Anew Advertising Pays.

The advertising manager of one of America's largest mail order houses recently told a large convention of advertising men _that his company maintains “a bureau whose dutj' it is to read, each week, the weekly papers from all over the country. “This bureau,” he said, “looks over these papers, and when it finds a town where the merchants are not advertising steadily in the local papers that town is immediately flooded with literature. “It always brings results far in excess of the same effort put forth in territory where the local merchants constantly use their local papers.—Chicago Tribune.

OUR MEXICAN POLICY BASED ON HUMANITY

How the President Has Upheld a Small Nation’s Right to Control Its Affairs. RESISTED WAR PRESSURE » ' - • ", Determined That America’s Sister Republic Shall Be Permitted to Work Out Its Problem of Freedom and Self-Government. “President Wilson’s faith in democracy, and the unselfishness of the United States in international dealings, have been strikingly expressed in his Mexican policy. “The President’s demand for Mexico is—Justice." The larger phases of the relations of the United States with Mexico during President Wilson’s Administration as well as an interesting and complete narrative of events are presented authoritatively in the Mexican chapter of the Democratic National Text Book, from which these quotations are made: “Two considerations have animated the President in the formulation of ids Mexican policy and have compelled his adherence to it throughout his Administration, namely: “The firm conviction that all nations, both the weak and the powerful, have the inviolable right to control their internal affairs. “The belief, established upon the history of the world, that Mexico will never become a peaceful and law-abid-ing neighbor of the United States until she has been permitted to' achieve a permanent and basic settlement of her troubles without outside interference

“The Mexican problem in its present form has existed for the American Government ever since our frontier was extended to the Rio Grande. When the people maintained the peace it was because they were forced to do so, and not because justice reigned in the land. Thus it was that the history of Mexico, like the history of every aspiring people, pressed upon President Wilson’s consideration the truth that no permanent good relations could exist between this great Northern Republic and the one immediately Soijth of us until she had been left free to put her house in order, however painful that process might be and whatever the demands It might make upon the forbearance of the United States.” “There was a powerful pressure for war—a terrible war—by a well-armed powerful nation against an unarmed, bankrupt people exhausted by five years of civil strife, but who still retained enough of patriotic feeling to unify them against an invader. It was the old, old question whether the United States should impose a peace on Mexico; whether, for the sake of the Interests of a few of its citizens, it should permanently suppress Mexico’s upreaching toward freedom and self-government.”

FOR SERVICES RENDERED NOT PROMISES BROKEN

“I do not doubt that the people of the United States will wish the Democratic party to continue in control of the government. They are not in the habit of rejecting those who have actually served them for those who are making doubtful and conjectural promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those who have actually rendered those very services.”— From President Wilson’s Speech of Acceptance.

Small Potatoes (By Walt Mason) The man who has a patch of beans, or succotash, or other greens, believes the gods would make a hit if for that patch’s benefit they regulated wind and rain; and when they don’t, it gives him pain. If from his little sooty field he thinao he’ll have a bounteous yield, he doesn’t seem to care a rap how it may fare with t'other chap. Destroying hail may fall and beat the stuffing from a neighbor's wheat, a cloudburst spoils some fellow’s oats, and drowns another’s shorthorn shoteS; or, maybe, just across the way, the lightning hits a stack of hay; and he will view his littlestretch of artichokes, and say (the wretch!), “The climates perfect, 1 maintain; there’s just enough of wind and rain; no man could aak a better show than we are getting here below!” But if his little patch of rape he finds is in unthrifty shape, the fact that neighbors' J ‘crops are fine will not prevent his doleful whine. He is a small bore skate, you say; ah, well, we all are built that way.
